#21 Alec Lightwood - Something New

You knew everything about the existence of the supernatural in your world. Despite being a mundane, you knew. Magnus Bane taught you after he took you in.

Unfortunately, this caused a lot of complications.

For one thing, Magnus is well known for his parties and, when he would have one, you were a primary target. Magnus couldn't always keep an eye on you since he would be busy hosting his party. So, when it became too much of an issue, he decided the best way to help was to train you in combat and to create a way to have a hawk's eye view of you by making you a performer on the stage he had. He did not care what kind of performance you would make, he just needed to know where you were at.

Your performance of choice was to sing and, for years, you sang. You did still have some close calls of getting in the crossfire and, of course, getting kidnapped, but you and Magnus both had a better handle on the situation.

Now, today, was another party, and you stood on stage, singing like you usually do. But then, you catch a glimpse of unfamiliar faces walking into the door.

You watch them intently as they walk around the place. Soon after, Magnus notices them, and he walks over to them to talk. Still watching the scene unfold, you notice that one of them is intriguingly looking at you. You both lock eyes for a while, until Magnus calls you over.

"Y/n, come over and take a break for a bit!" he calls. "I would like you to meet our guests!"

You walk down the stage and made your way over to Magnus and the others.

"Y/n, I would like you to meet Jace, Clary, Simon, Isabelle, and Alec," Magnus introduced you to everyone.

"Hey," Alec was the first to speak, and you realize that he was the one that was looking at you.

"Hey!" you reply with a smile.

Again, you lock eyes. Then, you hear Magnus clear his throat before speaking.

"Y/n, would you like to show Alec, here, to the bar while I discuss matters with Clary?"

"Sure!" you enthusiastically said.

You and Alec made your way over to the bar, and you ordered two drinks for the both of you.

"So," you began to say. "You're a Shadowhunter?"

You motion your head toward the markings on his neck.

"Yeahh," Alec blatantly confirms. "And what are you?"

"I'm just a boring mundane," you admit.

Alec looked at her in shock. "But, you can see me."

"Yeah, well, when Magnus took me in, he taught me everything I need to know about your world. He talked about The Sight, which creatures I need to avoid, and which I can befriend. He even taught me how to defend myself using the weapons that you use," you explained.

The bartender came back with your drinks, and you both thank them. When you got yours, you immediately pulled your drink close to your body and covered the top of it with your hand to prevent anyone from adding in supplements that could put you at risk of being in danger. Alec notices this instinctive movement, not questioning it because of the vampire he noticed was behind you the entire time. Plus, a mundane at a party like this gets obvious attention, especially from a vampire.

"So, am I someone you can befriend?" Alec asks, keeping a watchful eye on the blood-sucking creature.

"Obviously," you say, matter-of-factly. "I mean, I feel safe knowing, if anything happens, you would intervene. Plus, you have been looking at and keeping an eye on someone behind me."
