Heir || Alec Lightwood

02: What, no "thank you" for saving your life?

Once we got inside, I followed the blonde haired guy. He was with other friends, and they went inside behind the curtain, in which I think was a VIP room. "Dammit. How the hell do we get in there?" I cursed, crossing my arms together. Clary was still behind me, she seemed to have a plan on how to get ourselves in.

"I think I know how," As I turned myself to Clary, she was nowhere to be found. But then, her bright hair color was soon to be seen by my eyes. She wrapped her hand to some guy. "Cool contacts," She said, I followed them from behind and we both finally got in.

We saw a girl standing next to the blonde, who had a sword in his hands, ready to stab the women in seconds. Clary being Clary, she shrieked. "Watch out!" She pushed the girl off the blonde guy.

"Careful!" The blonde said and slides Clary off on the floor.

"Clary!" I shouted as I ran to her. "Are you alright?" And she nodded her head while rubbing it. I looked over to the blonde guy and saw that he stabbed the woman and she vanished into some orange flakes, before it disappears into thin air.

My lips parted, and my eyes was locked at where the woman stood the last time. "A shapeshifter." I muttered and that seemed to catch the blonde's attention.

"How do you?-" He turned to me before he got pushed by one of the demon. The demon then darted its eyes at me. The tentacles were moving like crazy and that creeps the hell out of me.

But then, a brunette girl who was dressed in white used her whip and dragged the demon's feet.

Then, I turned to see Clary and then quick to be relieved that she was fine. Then, I heard someone groaned.

"Alec!" The blonde guy shouted. I turned my head to see this Alec guy and it was another brunette, struggling to fight against one of the demons.

Alright just how many were they?

I noticed a sword that belonged to the blonde and grabbed it. It lit up when I touched it. I ran up to the struggling brunette and used my fencing knowledge. I then stabbed the demon on its back. The demon then disappears into thin air. I couldn't believe what I've done. What the actual fuck.

Alec looked at me with the same expression as I had. I looked at the sword, and I was so mesmerized by how it lit up when I hold it. "Valerie!" Clary shouted, snapping me out of my thoughts. She pulled me into a hug before dragging out of the place. "We need to go, now." She said, freaking out.

"Wait!" My other hand was grabbed by someone, the blonde.

"How do you know?" Was the only thing that came out of his mouth.

"Valerie we're leaving right now!" She dragged me.

➰➰➰

"Mom? Mom! I need to talk to-" She said while rushing, but she stopped mid-sentence as she saw her apartment being torn apart. Glasses broke, as well as the couch, tables, everything.

I covered my mouth with my hand as we began to take a closer look of the place. "W-what happened in here?.." I muttered. We walked over on broken glassses, and a picture frame of Clary and her mom had its glass shattered into pieces.

"Clary!" Someone appeared and it was Dot, thank goodness. "They took Jocelyn, Rogue Shadowhunters searching for the Mortal Cup." Dot explained and Clary was furrowing her brows at her.

"What? You're not making sense Dot!" She said, raising her voice a little bit.

"Think, Clary. Did your mother ever talk to you about a cup? A very important cup. It's gold, almost like a chalice." Dot pushed her and Clary couldn't seem to concentrate.

"Dot, I don't think she knows anything-" I said, but I got cut mid-sentence by Dot herself.

"No! This could save Jocelyn, think Clary!"

"I can't think! Someone kidnapped my mother!" She panicked, she turned her back with her hands on her temples. I went over to her, wrapping my arms around her, trying to calm her down.

"You know more than you think you do, Clary Fray." Dot said, which drew my attention. I turned over to my shoulder and had my eyes widened as I saw Dot turned into one of those tentacles demon shit, those shapeshifter.

"Clary run!" I shrieked and she turned around to the demon before screaming. I didn't know what to do, I ran, but in a different direction than Clary. Clary was hiding somewhere.

I ran and ran, I grabbed a wooden stick and tried to hit it with that and tried stabbing but no use, I got thrown to the floor. The demon then went after Clary who was standing against the wall.

Clary closed her eyes as she cried for help. And then, I saw the demon vanished into dust, to the thin air just like before. There, stood the same blonde guy. Stalker.

"What, no "thank you" for saving your life?" He had a slight smirk on his face. "Careful. That demon got a piece of you." He said to Clary who have stopped from tearing up.

"Demons?" She looked up to him.

"Yeah. What do you think that miserable, disgusting thing was? "

"I, uh... I thought it was Dot."

"No, it was a demon, a shapeshifter." I got up, walking towards the two.

"Ravener demon, shapeshifter." The guy looked at me. "Hey how do you-"

"Why is the room swirling?" She said, and I helped steadied her.

"Demon venom," The guy said.

"Is that bad?" I asked before Clary collapsed completely in the guy's arms.
