Chapter 2
Alexander Lightwood's POV
-Flashback-
"Damned Forsaken." I hissed as I fought my way through the mist. It was demonic in every way and it was affecting everyone. Up ahead, I spotted Ashleigh, holding her hand over her mouth, stumbling against the side of the Institute. "Ash!" I called out. She slumped to the ground. I rushed over and looked at her. "Ash! Wake up!" I said, shaking her by the shoulders. She did not respond. Oh goodness, she can't be dead, I thought, sweeping her up into my arms. She went completely limp.
-Flashback-
"I used to come here as a kid. There were tons of books about weaponry and fighting, but my favourites were those on nature." I murmured, pulling Ash into the antique shop. I ran my hand along the spines of the books in the shop, collecting dust along the way. Suddenly, I remembered that I had to take Simon to the Gard since he was not legally brought into Idris. "Oh gosh how could I forget, Ash I am so sorry but I am going to have to cut this da-tour short. I have to bring Simon to the Counsul to be sent back to New York." I turned to find Ash, only to see her talking to another Shadowhunter. He wall tall and lanky with green eyes and brown hair. He had one hand on the bookcase behind Ash and was flirting with her. She looked uncomfortable but kept a straight face. I suddenly felt a burning rage and stomped over. "Hey Ash!" I called as I neared her. The shadowhunter backed off for a moment when I wrapped my hand around her. "I am going to have to cut our date short because I promised my mother that I would send Simon to the Gard." I said, exaggerating on 'date'. The shadowhunter looked flustered for a moment before he flicked his hair and walked off.
I guided Ash out of the shop and took her hand, dragging her off. I had no idea why I had acted in such a manner. "Alec, did you just say we were on a… date?" Ash said stopping in her tracks. I stopped as well. "Um, yes, I did. If I had not that guy would probably have you in his room by now. Wouldn't want that now would we? Not all shadowhunters are wonderful." I said, thinking quickly. Ash's hopeful expression turned into a crestfallen one. "Oh right." She murmured. Why is she upset? I thought, I wish she was never sad. "C'mon, let's go find Simon before I have a quarrel with the Clave." I said, lacing my fingers with hers before heading towards the Penhallow manor. She seemed to brighten up after that, that radiant smiled illuminating her face.
Ash's POV
I was waiting outside the Hall of Accords as Alec went in with Simon. I would regret it later but I did not stop him. I knew that Aldertree would hold Simon hostage and I did nothing to stop it.
Later on when Alec came out and Jace almost bit his head off. I stayed hidden behind the entrance as Alec slumped to the ground before sending a fire message to Magnus. I sighed, it would be best for him to stay with Magnus instead of me. "Alec!" I called out. He looked up at me and that beautiful smile that would always melt my heart appeared on his face. I offered him my hand and he took it. Sadly I did not know my own strength and pulled him too hard until he stumbled against me, in a way, hugging me. I turned bright red immediately. Alec backed off and ran a hand through his hair like he would when he was embarrassed.
Soo how'd you like that! Do review!
