Jonathan's arms are still around Clary and Alisha's shoulder as they walk. The hybrid frowns uncomfortably as she shifts in the man's arms whilst Clary is still shaken up from the death she just witnessed. They're walking through a gallery as cars pass by.
"That was incredible." Jonathan smiles and Alisha scoffs.
"You killed a man, Jonathan." Clary says, her gaze staying in front of her. "A Shadowhunter."
"And I did it for you both." He says, looking at the pair. "Seeing you in his arms like that, so vulnerable... It wasn't like any kill I've ever done before. Girls..."he stops walking, letting go of the pair and grabbing their hands. "it felt so good! You both make me good."
"That's not what good is, Jonathan." Both girls snatch their hands out of Jonathan's hold. "Killing like that should never feel good." Clary finishes.
"Oh, yeah?" He spits. "I heard what you did to our father. On the shores of Lake Lyn, watching his life slip from your hands, how did that feel?" Clary doesn't respond. "Yeah. That's what I thought."
"Watch it." Alisha growls, her eyes flashing green making the demon inside of Jonathan challenge her by glaring.
"What are we doing here, Jonathan?" Clary questions, watching as Jonathan's gaze doesn't move from Alisha. "The Morning Star Sword... it's not a gift. What are you plannining?"
"I would love to tell you, Clary." Jonathan tears his gaze from Alisha. "But frankly, I am beginning to question your motives."
"Do you blame her?" Alisha spits. "You kidnapped her, made her family think she was dead and now killed a shadowhunter in front of her." She spits. "How sick are you?" Jonathan growls lowly before gripping onto Alishas arms tightly, making her wince. Clary looks over at her brother with a shocked face.
"Stop!" She shouts but the two ignore her. Alishas eyes flash green whilst Jonathan's turn black. The two of them continue to glare at each other until the hybrid suddenly snaps out of it as she sees an arrow flying towards Jonathan's head. Acting quickly, she pulls Jonathan down to the floor with her, the pair groaning as soon as they hit the concrete.
"Wait!" Clary shouts, holding her hand up. Alec readies his bow again as soon as he sees Jonathan's grip on his girlfriend. He frowns at the sight of the hybrid protecting the Morgenstern. Jonathan and Alisha stand up slowly, glaring at each other, ignoring the confused looks they were receiving. "Don't shoot! If you kill him, I die too." Alisha breaks eye contact and looks up at the group. Alec, Luke and Jace all stand there, their weapons ready. Alisha, noticing how Alec's bow didn't lower, decides to cut in.
"Alec, don't." She pleads making her boyfriend turn to look at her.
"Everybody, stand down!" Luke shouts making Alec slowly lower his bow, still staring at his girlfriend.
"I knew I never should have trusted you!" Jonathan shouts at the two girls. Alisha growls and turns around only to meet Clarys gaze at his leg, specifically the blade in his holster. She looks up at the hybrid who nods, knowing what's going on in her head.
"Let's be real, Jonathan." Clary states. "We never trusted each other." Alisha quickly grabs the blade out of his belt and throws it to Clary. The hybrid then kicks him in the chest making him stagger back so Clary can quickly stab her leg.
"You little bitch!" Jonathan shouts from the ground, his hand holding the wound on his leg. Alisha looks over at Clary worriedly before turning back to Jonathan as he attempts to run away. She quickly grabs his arm only to be thrown into a pillar beside them.
"Ow." She groans, looking at the pillar she was thrown into. "I hate Jonathan." She looks up to see Jace rushing towards Clary whilst Alec rushes over to her.
"Alisha!" He quickly helps her up, taking out his stele only for her to shake her head.
"I'm okay." She says before being wrapped in a tight hug. "I'm okay."
"Your alive." He pulls away from her, gently placing his hands on the side of her face. "Your okay." He smiles before smashing his lips onto hers. Alisha wraps her arms around his neck whilst he wraps her around her waist. "I was so scared." Alec says immediately after pulling away. "When I saw Izzy and her rune was gone I couldn't... I couldn't focus."
"I'm sorry Alec." She places her forehead on his before giving him a soft kiss. "I hated being away from you."
"Everything was so awful without you." Alec states. "Please, never leave me again."
"I promise." She quickly brings him into another kiss, only pulling away when someone taps on her shoulder. Alisha smiles brightly at Luke and quickly jumps into his embrace.
"Hey kiddo." He smiles, tightly hugging the hybrid as she places her head into his shoulder.
"Hi Luke." She smiles. "I missed you."
"I missed you too kiddo." He says whilst rubbing her back. "The whole pack did, especially Maia. She's a mess."
"She's back?" Alisha smiles excitedly making Luke's smile widen as he nods. The hybrid looks over at Jace and Clary who were standing watching. The red head quickly rushes over to Luke whilst Alisha runs over to her brother, tackling him in a hug.
"Hey Jace." She sighs, smiling at the fact that her brother was back to normal.
"Hey Alisha." He says into her shoulder. "I am so sorry."
"Don't. It wasn't your fault." Alisha says, looking at her brother as Alec walks over, wrapping his arms around his girlfriends waist as soon as Jace pulls away. He nods at his sister with a smile.
As soon as Alisha got back to the New York institute, Alec pulled her into their room, closing the door behind them and turning to watch her as she scans the room. She looks at the picture on there dresser of her with Maia at the Hunters Moon and one of her and Alec's first dates. She smiles at the memory, her fingers gently hovering over the frame.
"You okay?" He asks his girlfriend and she turns around with a smile.
"Better than ever." She wraps her arms around his waist, smiling as he rests his chin on the top of her head.
"I missed you so much." Alec states. "I thought you were dead... and it killed me." Alisha pulls away from his hold, holding his hands instead. "I didn't know how to live."
"I'm sorry Alec. I'm so sorry." Alisha begins, shaking her head. "I couldn't leave Clary and I thought that I'd have enou—"
"It's okay. I don't blame you, none of us do. It's not your fault, it's Lilith's." He comments with a small smile. "I'm just so happy your back. I love you so much."
"I love you so much." Alisha smiles. Alec quickly wraps his arms around her waist once again before pressing their lips together heatedly.
