Sorry for the wait but school started which means homework and practically nonexistent free time so yeah. I made a list of what I have to post this week and this story kind of ended up being the last one on it but here you go now. Hope you like it.
I looked around the crowded Hall Of Accords with a sigh.
I didn't even want to be here in the first place but it seems that the murders became too much to ignore or take care of by ourselves alone so the meeting was called and every Shadowhunter of age was obliged to attend. No exceptions.
So that's how I ended up here. Reluctant but without any other choice.
I looked around and caught my father's eye before he turned his head in disgust.
Well that's just perfect. I thought as I rested my gaze on my mother who looked at me sadly for a second before turning her head too. At least I haven't seen any disgust there.
Other then my parents no one else seems to have looked at me any differently which means that they really haven't said a word to anyone. I didn't know if I was happy of bothered by it.
On one hand I get to keep my marks but on the other the reason for that is because they are too ashamed to say anything.
I sighed again missing Magnus already. Even though it has only been a few hours since he made that portal and sent me here. Looking as reluctant to let me go as I was to go.
I leaned onto the wall behind me remembering this morning.
FLASHBACK
"Can't you just tell them you're sick or something?" Magnus asked and I laughed because this was the tenth excuse he has come up with in the last five minutes. Not wanting me to go.
"You know I can't do that Magnus. I have to go no matter what and if I don't they will get suspicions and ask my parents for the reason or come here looking for me personally. And honestly I don't know which one is worse." I said bringing the bag of clothes on my shoulder and walking out of the bedroom to the living room where the portal was, Magnus in tow.
"I still wish that I can at least come with you."
"I know." I turned around to face him and took his hand in mine. "I would love that too but Izzy is waiting for me with a Clave member and if I show up with a Downworlder it wouldn't end well."
He sighed looking defeated so I stepped to him and leaned up, pressing my lips to his in a kiss.
One he of course answered to immediately by putting his arms around me and pulling me closer while kissing back.
"I love you: You know that right?" I said with a smile as we pulled apart.
He grinned at my words, tightening his hold on me for a moment more. "I love you too darling."
And with that he let me go even though he looked like he would rather do anything but.
"Hopefully it won't take long and I will be back in a few short days ok. You can still send me a fire message whenever you want to." I said turning to the portal.
"Bye love. Good luck." I heard him say just as I stepped into it, my mind focused on picturing the Hall Of Accords even though I wanted to stay where I was more than anything else.
END OF FLASHBACK
After that Izzy was waiting for me just like we agreed she will and I was immediately sent here so she was the only one I was able to see even though I was hoping to at least say Hi to Jace and Max.
But I guess that will have to wait a little bit longer.
"Hey Alec!" Hearing the all too familiar voice I froze in shock.
Please please tell me I'm just hearing things that aren't here. I thought desperately but no such luck. As I opened my eyes again I could see her clearly.
Caroline.
Making her way to me through the crowd.
I was annoyed in a matter of seconds.
"Hey Alec long time to see." She smiled at me as she finally reached me.
Raziel what did I do to make you do this to me. I thought.
"Yeah." I answered simply hoping she will just leave me alone already.
"Are you better now? Done with that little joke of yours?"
I was left staring at her in shock. "What joke?"
"You know that whole…" She looked around before leaning closer and lowering her voice to a whisper. "The whole I have a boyfriend thing." She said like it's the worst thing ever.
Oh you have got to be kidding me! I thought annoyed and shocked.
"By The Angel it is not a joke." I practically yelled before lowering my voice a little as a few people around us started staring. "I was serious when I said that. Now would you please leave me alone?!"
"No you couldn't have been serious." She argued making me look at her in even more of a shock.
How stupid and annoying can a person be?
"If it's true then where is he, ha? I don't see anyone here. And I know you just made that up because you don't want to marry me. But I really love you Alec. And I won't give up on you so easily. Not without at least some kind of proof."
I was about to break and yell at her when The Inquisitor came up and started the meeting.
I took a few deep breaths to calm down and walked away from her knowing that it won't end well if I stay there.
Great. I thought. Just great. Yet another thing that I have to look forward to. I thought sarcastically feeling bitter again and annoyed without reaper.
Did you like it? Tell me what you think.
Yeah so when I said that I will write to follow the main plot points of the first three books I meant it. So we are practically at the end of City Of Glass now. Like I said it's the last part of the story. I hope you would like it and also that you liked this one even though it was kind of short. Sorry for that by the way but it's getting late. And yes Caroline is back. She is a really stubborn person isn't she?
Also since school started I don't know how frequently I will be able to post considering that now I have four ongoing stories but I'll try to update once a week at least.
Anyway you know how it goes. I need 15 reviews for the next chapter.
So review my lovelies.
