Bloodshed || Shadowhunters

Shapeshifting demon

"- And these creepy tentacles seem to come out of the body builder's face and then the guy just... vaporized when Nyx killed him... mom Nyx killed people, and why did she have a knife- mom was I drugged? " Clary finally asked, her voice shaking as she explained everything that had happened at the club.

" What did the marks look like? " Jocelyn asked Nyx, though she's pretty sure she knew the answer to that question.

" They were shadowhunters mom, they were fighting demons, " Nyx mumbled, clenching and unclenching her hand out of habit. 

" Who cares, mom! Are you even listening to me?! Am I going crazy?! " honestly, Nyx was growing annoyed with her sister's yelling. I mean come on, get yourself together and let mom explain, Nyx thought to herself.

" Did they look like this? " Jocelyn then used her stele and uncovered a rune on her arm, making Clary go into deeper panic and confusion. Her sister though, she looked worried as she looked out the window every so often, playing with her new dagger.

" Mom, what the- " Clary was cut off as her mom began explaining, or at least tried to explain.

" Everything you saw tonight has a meaning and an explanation and I've dreaded having this conversation with either of you but I explained this all to Nyx so she's going to protect you and explain everything to you Clary, " Jocelyn explained urgently, only setting the younger red head over the edge.

" Mom what is going on? Am I going insane? " Nyx sighed quietly to herself, shaking her head as she only saw that clary was panicking instead of trying to calm down for a moment and listen.

" No! You're not going insane honey, but the protections are wearing off of both of you, " this caught Nyx's attention. Protection? What protection?

" Clary you're eighteen now and you need to know the truth, " Jocelyn continued.

" Mom, you're scaring the hell out of me. "

" I know, " Jocelyn sighed, her face softening, " and that's why I've put this off until the last possible minute. " Dot then entered the room, her face too seemed panicked but more serious than either of the girls had ever seen her.

" Jocelyn, look out the window. Magnus called to warn us, they found you, " that puts an alarm on Nyx, her face molding into slight worry, never really revealing all of her emotions. It made her weak, and she hated being weak.

" Dot. It's time, " Jocelyn tells Dot firmly, grabbing her eldest daughter and moving her to stand next to Clary. " Okay, listen to me. Neither of you can be near me. "

" What's happening? " Nyx finally questioned, confused as her mother scrambled to get something from one of the many boxes in the room, coming back with two purple moonstone necklaces. She put one on Clary's neck first then on Nyx's.

" I got a very powerful person angry, " she hurriedly explained, looking over at Dot every so often.

" What did you do? " Nyx asked cautiously, still clenching and unclenching her fists, feeling the need to hit something now.

" I hid something from him and his followers, " Can you be any more vague mom? Nyx thought angrily to herself.

" Followers? Mom, can't we just call the police? " Nyx scoffed at that. The police are useless when it comes to the supernatural that's for sure, but Luke though, he obviously knew of the shadow world so he could potentially be something or knows something too.

" The policeman you need to call is Luke. These necklaces, keep them with you and when you wear them, think of me, " Clary sighed, frustrated at all of this, and the worst part was when she was all yelling and frustrated, wanting answers, Nyx was calm, only playing with that stupid dagger and looking out the window with her usual emotionless face. Clary swears that sometimes, she doesn't even know if her older sister is capable of emotions at all.
