Heir || Alec Lightwood

23: I'm just as evil as he is

Jace had told me to wait outside with Simon. A few moments after, I got a call from Clary.

"Clary we're on our way-"

"We need you here Valerie, please hurry up."

"Why would Magnus need me?"

"Some sort of  energy, power, something. Just, just come back here."

"Yeah, I'll be there." I hung up. "Simon we gotta-"

"Get the hell out of here." Jace shouted, he used his blade to fight a demon before it turns into orange flakes.

We rushed in and saw Magnus using his magic at its fullest potential perhaps, he was struggling. Jace went and gave the ingredient to Clary.

"Magnus!" I said before going over to him. I looked at the warlock who was draining out of energy.

"I need your strength, a strength of an heir by a Morgenstern." He managed to say. I grabbed his hand.

"Take what you need." I said, and then he nodded his head. I then felt a tingle in which I gasped to, I closed my eyes and I felt the energy flowing from my right wrist, to my whole body.

"Here, Luke.." I heard Clary said. I opened my eyes and saw Clary giving the antidote to Luke. Soon, Luke was healed.

"Clary.." He said which made me, and Clary smiled. My smile disappears when Magnus fell his head on my shoulder, probably because of the amount of energy he had to use.

"You alright?" I asked and he nodded his head while breathing heavily. We heard footsteps coming and it was Alec, but Izzy was nowhere to be found. His eyes darted from Luke and Clary, then to me, and Magnus.

He looked away before walking over to Luke and Clary.

➰➰➰

Magnus placed Luke in his room, Simon then called Clary that Luke needed him, leaving me and the boy with the hazel eyes alone. I had my arms crossed, trying to not look into his eyes. I was looking at nothing.

"Really? You're not talking to me?" He managed to say after inhaling deeply. But, I didn't move.

I wasn't quite sure myself why I was upset. I think I just had a lot in my mind, from the letter, knowing my dad's Valentine, Ethan, and.. Part of me tells me that Alec was part of it too.

Then, images of him jerking my hand from his arm appears in my mind, and how he moved his head so bluntly that it removes my hands from his cheeks in a sort of harsh way.

It all happens when people, gets around us.

"I've got a lot in my mind, don't make yourself one." I said bluntly and he sighed deeply. He then walked towards me, and puts his hand on my shoulder.

"What did I tell you?" He asked and I furrowed my brows together before looking at him. "You're scary when you're upset."

I rolled my eyes and looked away.

"Look at you, are you trying to replace Alec-Grumpy Cat- Lightwood? Cause you're starting to be like me." He let out a small chuckle.

I squinted my eyes a little at the thought of his word, I felt my lips forming a smile, but I tried to force not to.

"Hey," He said. "I'm sorry. For, whatever I've done that made you upset." He said and I sighed. Fighting with Alec wouldn't get me nowhere anyways. "Now, why are you upset?"

"Um.." I trailed off. I didn't know if I should tell him or not. "It's um.. Remember the box that we took from my house?" He nodded his head. "I managed to open it."

"Well what's inside?"

"There was um, a ring that has 'M'  on it, and a letter."

"What letter?"

"A letter saying that I'm an heir, to his sickness. Everything that he has, power, insanity, money, control, all goes down to me. That means.. I'm just as evil as he is."

"Okay, and now you're just making shit up." The raven haired boy said.

"I am not making shit up, Alec! It's all true. I'm Valentine's daughter, he has been preparing me all this since day one, since I wasn't even born yet. I'm an heir to him Alec, you don't get it I'm just as bad as he-"

Alec cut me off from rambling by pressing his lips to mine.
