Shadowhunters {Alec Lightwood}

Chapter 15

Mack PoV

We were hiding in the closet and I don't like this place, because of my brother and Clary. They're thinking of how to get the cards, in a flirtatious way. As for me, I texted Isabelle for help. ''Ok, I texted, Izzy, what's the plan?'' I asked.

''Oh, I think you'll love this, Mack'' Clary smiled. We left the closet, walking to Luke's office and the police were staring at us. Then Clary slapped my brother and she was right, I liked it. Then 2 police came two us. ''What did you say? You cheated on me'' Clary walked away.

''I did not'' Jace said.

''You will never see me again'' Clary went to Luke's desk and a woman was with her now.

''I apologise. It happened a couple times-''

''Shut up'' the woman beside Clary said. ''Clary's done with you. Take him out'' she ordered the police and I followed. The police left, leaving me and Jace outside.

''You, did some nice acting'' I smiled.

''Shut up. I knew you loved it'' Jace said, then Clary joined and so did Isabelle and Alec.

''What took you guys long?'' I asked.

''Funny, I was going to ask the same thing'' Alec looked at my brothe.

''We found the cup'' Clary informed them.

''The Cup'' Isabelle said.

''Yeah. But then we lost it. We have to sneak back to get it'' Clary told her.

''This is a disaster'' Alec said.

''Hey, demon pox is a disaster. This is an inconvenience. We just need a plan'' Jace told him/

''What about a glamour?'' Isabelle suggested.

''We tried that. Anyone working with Valentine will see right through it'' I replied.

''Can we ask Magnus Bane to portal us inside?'' Clary questioned.

''No'' Alec said.

''That'd be awkward'' Isabelle looked at me, then she gasped. ''Magnus can only portal us to places he's been to before'' she said and Clary's phone rang.

''Just give me a second'' Clary said, answering the call. Then Jace told us the plan and took Clary's phone to hang up Simon. I was with Jace and Clary, I would be with Alec and Izzy, but I can't face Alec, just yet. We were in the elevator, waiting for the signal. While Jace was done drawing the night vision rune on Clary, the lights went off.

''That's the signal'' Jace told Clary and Jace helped me to go up the elevator shaft. It was a short climb to the vault. We were finding Luke's stuff and Clary did. She was putting the stuffs one by one.

''Clary, just take it all out'' I told her and she did. Then she found the card that has picture looking like the Mortal Cup. She tapped on it and she didn't know what she's doing.

''What's wrong?'' my brother asked her.

''I'm not sure.''

''You're not sure what's wrong or you're not sure where your mom hid the Cup?'' Jace questioned her.

~~~

We went outside and joined Alec Isabelle again. ''Did you get it?'' Alec asked.

''Theoretically.''

''Theoretically?''

''Yeah. I found the card. I just have to figure out how I reached into my notebook before. It's not an exact science'' Clary told him.

''Can't you just pull the Cup out?''

I can, theoretically. It's not as easy as it looks, Alec'' Clary said.

''Listen, you two can discuss theories as much as you want when we get back to the Institute. But right now, considering we just stole from the cops, I suggest we get home'' I said, walking, but Isabelle's necklace glowed.

''I think the mundanes might be the least of our worries'' Izzy said.

''Well, at least we know the demon necklace works'' Alec said.

''Never a dull day. Let's go'' Jace said and we started walking fast.

''Guys, slow down'' I heard Clary say. I turned around and saw a demon grandma. Jace then stabbed her. We were about to leave but more demon police was standing by. We were at a place with no demons, I hope, we were running, but then Alec stopped.

''What are you doing?'' Jace asked.

''Holding them off. Take Clary back to the Institute'' Alec ordered.

''Not without you''.

''Jace, I'll be fine'' Alec reassured him.

''We'll go, but Mack. You stay with him'' Jace told me.

''What?!'' I asked.

''Stay with him Mack. It's been a long time you guys haven't had any alone time together'' my parabatai teased and the 3 of them left, leaving me and Alec and I didn't even say yes to this.

''Great'' I muttered.

''Ok. Let's go'' Alec took a step, but then his phone rang. ''Hello?'' he answered. ''Luke?'' he asked confused, then he told him where we were and hung up.

''Where's Luke?'' I asked.

''Jail. But he's out. So we're waiting for him now'' he informed me. I nodded and there was silence between us. ''Ok, why do I fell like you're ignoring me?'' Alec questioned.

''I'm not. I'm just....thinking'' I replied.

''About?'' I didn't answer because the door opened and Luke came in. Then the 3 of us started finding Clary, Jace and Izzy and we found Clary who was standing so shocked.

''Clary!'' Luke called out.

''Get back!'' she yelled. ''How do I know you're Luke?''

''I got a spray paint for your birthday. What happened?''

''Demons. It's a long story. Where did you come from?'' Clary asked.

''Jail. I rang Alec and told me where you guys were. Thought you might need help'' Luke explained.

''Apparently not. Looks like she took care of it by herself'' I stated, looking at the ash that disappeared.

''Shouldn't we get going? Demons might come, right?'' Clary questioned.

''I took care of that. The pack is on look out. They'll take of the demons'' Luke said and then the 3 of us went back to the Institute and I saw my brother telling everyone that Clary is the only thing that matters.

''Jace!'' Clary ran to him and hugged him and Izzy stood beside me. Few minutes later, Jace and Clary kissed. I looked at Alec who looked jealous. It was obvious when he walked away. Maryse was right about something too.

''Mack, you ok?'' Isabelle asked.

''Hmm? Yeah, I'm fine'' I gave her a small smile.

''Mack, I know when you're lying''.

''I'm just tired. I'll be in my room'' I walked out.
