Heir || Alec Lightwood

04: What do you mean I'm unidentified?

As I was done changing, I went outside of the room, leaving Clary behind. The 'Institute' was a place for Shadowhunters, Izzy calls it home. The place was as if it was something from a James Bond movie.

Then, I saw a guy with a blonde hair and had runes all over him. He was practicing some
moves. Me being me, I got interested and went up to him. "Ah, Valerie right? I'm Hodge." He said, and put out a hand for me to shake and so I did.

"Do you happen to have rapier-style swords? Or any kind really." How I miss training. I was touring the whole 'training room'

"Yeah," He put his palm against a glass wall and then there was a rack full of weapons. I walked up to him and grabbed the sword, and it lit up once again.

"Care to join me for a battle?" Hodge asked and I darted my eyes at him.

➰➰➰

The sound of two weapons make as they come in contact somehow always manage to pump me up. I swung my sword from my side, and the two swords came in contact, I was pushing my weapon against Hodge's. Before he could manage to beat me in the defense, I tumbled to the back, which earned someone clapping their hands.

I looked over to my left and saw Izzy and Alec. "That was amazing, right Alec? Wasn't she amazing?" She nudged him with her elbow.

"She is," Hodge said, with a slight grin. "Reminded me so much of someone," He looked at me and I just gave him a small smile.

"Where's Clary?" I asked, holding on to the blade.

"Oh, she's with this Simon guy, a mundane." Izzy said and my eyes widened, I ran towards the door and saw Clary, Jace, and Simon.

Simon was looking at Clary as if she was nuts, looking from his perspective, it looks like Clary was talking to no one. He then laid his eyes on me.

"V-Valerie?! What in the hell are you wearing?" His eyes widened, his cheeks turns red.

"Could you deglamourize, or whatever, so my best friend doesn't think Clary's losing her mind?" I asked Jace and he rolled his eyes before he did his thing.

"Um... what is happening?" I can see fear in Simon's eyes. Clary looked at a man who was laying on the ground.

"He's a member of the Circle." Jace said, standing next to Clary. "He's here for you." Jace dropped.

Then, next to me there was another man. He ran up to me with a deadly look in his eyes. I swung my blade and ran up to him, just a few moves, the guy is now laying on the ground.

"Who are these people?" I furrowed my brows while panting.

"Your little best friend here led him right to you. He's here to capture or to kill you both." Jace said.

life is amazing.

"And why is that?" I asked, getting annoyed of this whole Shadow world.

"I promise you, I promise I am gonna help you find your mother." I heard Jace said, looking directly at the redhead. "And I am going to help you find out why they want you." He darted his eyes at me, in which I responded by pursing my lips. This was all too much for me.
