Shadowhunters {Alec Lightwood}

Chapter 8

Mackenzie PoV

I was in my room in the outfit that Izzy gave me. I heard a knock on my door and Alec came in. ''Mack. You look....um nice'' he said.

''Oh, thanks'' I smiled. ''You look great too'' I said.

''Are you ready? Jace, Clary and Izzy are waiting'' he said.

''Yeah, I'm ready'' I told him and the 2 of us left my room.

***

All 5 of us was at the entrance of the club and there was a lot of people. ''Do you think red's my colour?'' Izzy asked. I was about to answer but Clary beat me.

''With a body like yours, everything's your colour'' Clary said and I was going to say that.

''Good point. Damn, I make this necklace look so good'' Isabel said.

''Take it off. I'm sure Magnus Bane doesn't want to drool on his ruby when we make the exchange'' Alec told his sister.

''You know, I wouldn't be so sure. Most men like it when I admire their jewels'' Izzy replied and I looked at her.

''Izzy, no. I'm with Alec. Can you give it to Jace?'' I asked.

''The 2 of you are such a buzzkill'' Izzy laughed handing the necklace to my brother and we entered the club.

''Blend in. And keep your weapons ready'' Jace told us and I held Alec's hand. Jace and Clary was talking to Magnus, he made a portal. Then I saw a guy running behind them.

''Alec'' I said.

''I see'' he replied, taking out an arrow and shot the guy. Alec and I went down and I went beside my brother and Alec took the dagger from the dead guy.

''Who are you?'' Magnus asked, looking at Alec, then he went to the portal.

''The area's secure'' Izzy approached us. ''Looks like he was the only assasin''.

''He has a circle rune on the base of his neck'' Alec said.

''They found us. It's not safe here. Clary we have to go'' Jace said, walking away but Clary didn't follow. ''Clary'' Jace went to her and Clary looked at him.

We left the club and Clary topped walking. ''Clary, we have to go'' Jace said.

''I'm catching my breath'' she replied.

''You know what? This is great. And not only did Magnus not get the girl her memories back, he took the necklace. This is fantastic a-''

''Alec'' my brother cut him off. ''The girl, her name is Clary. I highly suggest you keep your voice down'' my brother warned his parabatai.

''Why? Are you afraid I'm going to upset her?  We've risked our lives again and again for this girl and where has it gotten us? Nowhere. We're no closer getting the Mortal Cup and we've lost the Institue's necklace'' Alec said and I agree with him.

''Hey I am right here!'' Clary spoke up and Alec looked at her. ''I don't care about your damn jewellery. I'm sorry you're gonna look bad in front of your bosses. But my mother is still missing and my last chance of finding her just disappeared into thin air !'' Clary yelled.

''Clary, it's going to be ok'' Jace tried to reassure her.

''No it's not! People are dying because of me. And Magnus will never come out of hiding again when Valentine is still after him. We're never gonna find him and I will never get my memories back'' Clary said.

''You give up way too easy'' Jace said, pulling out his stele.

''What is he doing?'' Clary asked.

''Tracking Magnus. be quiet and keep your distance'' I told Clary.

''The button belonged to Magnus. Jace can pinpoint the location using that'' Izzy added.

''No. The signal's not strong enough. Magnus must be blocking the track. Let's do this Alec'' JAce said and Alec walked towards him.

''Do what?'' Clary asked.

''Parabatai tracking'' I said.

''Of course they are'' Clary said, looking at them confused.

''When the parabatai's track, their powers grow stronger. Jace and Magnus are going to track Magnus together'' Izzy added.

''This whole parabatai thing, seems oddly intimate if you ask me'' Clary said.

''You don't know the half of it'' I added and the boys let go of each other.

''Got it'' Jace said, walking away and we all followed him.
