Hey guys, here is the second chapter of the story and I promise its longer than the first. I'm sure that this chapter might be better than the first.

I own nothing. Everything belongs to Cassandra Clare.

Alec landed on his hands and knees and looked around at his surroundings. Nothing seemed familiar to him. He got up and started walking down the sidewalk. He kept walking till he got closer to what he guessed was downtown of whatever city he was in. While he was walking he heard a voice he recognized calling his name "Alec!"

He turned around to see Luke running towards him. Alec was surprised that he would see someone he knew walking around whatever city he was in. Alec got out his shock just as Luke approaches him and said "Luke, what are you doing here?"

Luke sticks out his hand and Alec shakes it. Luke looks at Alec for a second the says "I should be asking you the same thing."

Alec looks away and takes a deep breath. "I ran away from home because my parents were arranging a marriage for me. I couldn't believe that my own parents would do that to me. My mother was about to explain but I didn't want to hear their excuses, so I ran straight to the library and locked the doors then opened the portal. They don't give a damn about what I want or what I have to say. All they care about is fixing their reputation."

Luke nods and sighs "So then you jumped through the portal and ended up here?" he asks.

Alec looks at him and says "I have had visions of some girl for a few months now. I thought of her and it brought me here."

"Oh I see. I know that you don't want me to tell your parents where you are so you can stay until you find the girl from your visions." says Luke.

Alec looks at Luke in shock. He looks around at their surroundings and says "You live in the city? Speaking of the city; what city are we in anyways?"

"The city we are in is Los Angeles. I live a few miles away near an old family friend. I'm trying to teach my friends his little girl about the shadow hunter world until he finds an actual tutor." says Luke.

Alec nods his head and says "Ok, since you are the only person I know now I guess I could come with you to our house."

"Well come on my car is over here. I have to get to their house anyways her next lesson in an hour." Luke says while starting the way Alec was walking when they first saw each other.

Alec walks with Luke to his car and they both get in it. While on the drive to Luke's friends house, Alec was looking out the window at the city. He had only been outside of New York when they were going to Idris. He had never been outside of New York to go to another city in the country. They drove for twenty minutes until they got to Luke's house. They got out of the car and walked next door. Luke opened the gate to the backyard of his neighbors and they both walked in the backyard. Alec notices that his neighbor has a stable in their yard. He keeps walking and accidentally bumps into some one.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." says Alec. He looks to his right to see a girl about seventeen years old with long brown hair and hazel eyes.

"Oh no, it was my fault. I'm Angela." says the girl as she holds her hand out for him to shake.

Alec takes her hand and shakes it and says "I'm Alec."

"Alec? Is that short for something?" asks Angela.

"It's short for Alexander but everyone calls me Alec." says Alec.

"Hey Angela, I see you met Alec." Luke says as he comes up to Alec from behind.

"Oh Luke, You know Alec?" asks Angela.

Luke nods and says "Yeah, he's a family friend and he's staying at my place for a little while."

"Oh ok. When did he get into town?' asks Angela.

"He just got into town today and I forgot to tell your dad that he was coming." says Luke.

Does he know about the you know what?" asks Angela.

Luke nods and says "Yes, he knows about the shadow hunter world. He's a shadow hunter like you."

Angela smiles and says "Great now I won't be the only one in your tutoring lessons about the shadow world."

Alec nods and says "I wouldn't mind joining you guys for shadow hunter lessons for a bit."

"OK, so I'm going to get the lesson for today ready." says Luke.

Angela and Alec weren't paying attention because they were staring at each other wondering where the other has been all their life.

"Oh ok. Well since we both are here why don't we start the lesson early?" asks Angela.

"I'm fine with that." says Luke.

They all walk into Angela's house and start their lesson. During the lesson, Alec wondered what his family was doing right now. Angela was thinking about taking a chance and letting Alec into her heart.

Back at the New York Institute things were terrible. Maryse and Robert had warned the Clave that their oldest son had run away. The Clave then warned every shadow hunter in the world to keep their eyes open for him and report his whereabouts if they have seen him. Maryse was now crying on the couch because she blames herself for Alec running away; Robert was pacing trying to figure out where their son could have gone; Izzy and Jace were bickering with one another.

"That's it! I'm calling Magnus and telling him what's happened. I don't car if you like it or not Jace!" Isabelle says pulling out her phone and dialing Magnus' number.

Magnus was watching TV with Chairman snuggled on his chest. His phone starts ringing and he picks it up and says "Hello?"

"Magnus." Isabelle said her voice filled with relief and sorrow.

"Isabelle I told Alec that I didn't want to speak to him or his family every again." Magnus says.

"Magnus it's Alec. He's run away." Isabelle says on the verge of tears.

Magnus sits up and just sits there shocked. Chairman hisses at Magnus but Magnus wasn't paying attention. He just can't believe that his Alexander would run away. "What do you mean he ran away?" Magnus asks worried.

"He went through the portal and we have no idea where." said Isabelle.

"I'm on my way." Magnus said while walking towards the door while putting on his jacket.

Magnus got in a cab and rode to the Institute. When he got out he saw Isabelle at the front door waiting for him. He walked up the steps and pulled her into a hug. She started to cry after he pulled her into the hug. She continued to sob in his arms while he rubbed her back and whispered reassuring words in her ear. She pulled away and wiping away her tears.

"What exactly happened that made him run away?" Magnus asked.

"Well my parents walked into Alec's room and they were talking about an arranged marriage for Alec. Alec got really pissed and ran out of the room to the library. He locked the door, opened the portal and jumped through it to someplace only he would think of." Isabelle said while still crying and wiping more tears from her face.

Magnus just started at her with a very shocked look on his face. Izzy waves her hand in front of his face and the look on his face doesn't change. "Ok say something Magnus because you're starting to freak me out."

"I'm trying to process what you said in my head and think of a place he could have gone to through the portal." Magnus says while siting on the steps of the Institute. Izzy sits next to him and sighs.

"We'll find him, I promise" Izzy says putting her head on his shoulder.

Ok so Angela and Alec have met and Magnus just entered the story. The story will get better.

Review please.
