Pandemonium

Training

Izzy handed Sarah and I clothes for training and we changed. "Is Alec alright?" Sarah asked as she clipped her bangs out of his eyes.

She shook her head. "Magnus was his first relationship, first love and Alec gets jealous very easily. We'll talk to him, all of us, after training." She explained, pulling her dark hair up. "He'll listen to Jace. Come on, we've got work to do."

We all went downstairs and saw Jace, Clary, and Alec dressed head toe in black clothing. We headed to the training room and Alec went straight for the bow.

Isabelle smiled. "Sorry about him, he takes his aggression out with training." She explained, staring worriedly at her brother.

Jace clapped his hands. "Okay Sarah and Maggie, let's start you out with your weapon of choice. I recommend seraph blades. They're easy but they are very effective." He proved his point by turning and slashing at the air. "A whip is easy but not recommended because it's long and harder to handle, Isabelle makes it look easy."

Isabelle slashed her whip and flipped her raven hair in triumph.

Jace rolled his eyes. "Our friend Alec has the most difficult weapon in the shadowhunter codex, the bow and arrow. I can't even shoot an arrow like my brave parabatai."  He explained, smiling at Alec.

Alec didn't return it, turned and faced an apple tree at the end of the yard. He notched his arrow, tightened his bow string and took fire, hitting an apple straight through the middle. He blinked and turned toward us.

"What in the angel is wrong with you?" Isabelle screamed, facing her brother. "Do you want Magnus back or not?!"

Alec looked her in the eyes. "Of course I do Iz, but I can't be cool about what he did."

She rolled her eyes. "It was tea, you idiot! You've been moping around all week, just snap out of it!" She yelled and turned her back to him, picking her whip up and practicing her form.

Jace let out a rough sigh and turned to us. "Sorry you guys, lets get started."

He showed us some basic ways to use the blades and handed one to each of us. "Show me what you got." He stepped back.

We slashed through the air with the blades and Jace nodded along.

"You guys?" A man that looked just like Alec asked, stepping out of the Institute. "There's a demon on Forth Street."  

My breathing stopped and Sarah looked at me in fear. Cody lived on Forth Street.
