What The Hell Is Going On? (Book 2) (Mortal Instruments)

Chapter 3

You wake up from the nightmare screaming and curl into yourself as you begin sobbing uncontrollably. The images break your heart and you wail in pain. You try to stay quiet so you don't wake anyone, but you're not successful. You hear your door open and someone come in. You have your eyes squeezed shut so you can't see who it is as they sit on the bed next to you. They rub your back and hold you as your heart is ripped out of your chest and you sob. Once you stop crying you hide your face in your hands. Finally you remove your hands and see Alec's blue eyes full of worry.

"I'm sorry I woke you up."

"You didn't Rainbow. I woke up earlier and was about to leave when I heard your scream. How about you get dressed and we can walk to the Institute together?"

"Okay."

He walks out and you quickly dress in a pair of (F/C) leather pants with a (F/C) tank. You pull your hair into a ponytail and walk out to Alec. He smiles at you, but you can't bring yourself to smile after the dream you had. His smile fades away and you both leave the loft as you make your way to the Institute.

"I don't mean to worry you or my father."

"You're not the only one I worry about. I just worry about you more because you're my sister and that's what older brothers do."

"You're worried about Jace too."

"He just seems to be off."

"I noticed. He's never verbally attacked me with Sebastian since Idris and he did yesterday."

"That's why you had that dream isn't it?"

"Yeah. Don't worry about it. I'm getting better." You say with a smile.

You both walk into the Institute and you go to the training room to meet with Izzy while Alec does his own thing.

~Alec's P.O.V.~

I know (Y/N) has asked me not to worry, but I can't help it. I watch her enter the training room before going in search of Jace. Sadly, I can't find him so, I go back to the training room. I walk in and lean against the wall watching (Y/N) and Isabelle.

(Y/N) is punching the punching bag in the corner as Izzy is practising on the rafters. Izzy decides to play with danger by not using the harness that could catch her and save her. I get distracted for a second hearing the rapid fire punches (Y/N) delivers. I hear a cry of surprise and turn to see Izzy falling from the rafters. Fear makes me freeze, but I see (Y/N) raise a hand and Izzy stops falling. She lands on her feet before racing over to hug (Y/N).

"Thanks (Y/N). I don't know what I would have done if you weren't here." Izzy says and I see (Y/N) give a soft smile.

"No problem Iz. Just be careful please."

"Have you two ever thought of becoming parabati? If not you definitely should." I say causing them to look my way.

"I thought (Y/N) was too old."

"I'm actually eight months younger then Alec so I'm still seventeen."

"Do you want to become parabati (Y/N)?"

"Yeah that would be cool. We should ask the Clave."

Izzy races off to go talk to our mom as I give a soft smile. Izzy and (Y/N) are just alike they will make a good set of parabati. (Y/N) slowly walks by me and gives me a smile before heading off to meet Izzy and my mother. I leave the training room as well to go for a walk.

~Normal P.O.V.~

You slowly go to where Izzy and Maryse are waiting for you. You sit in the chair next to Izzy who is shifting in excitement. You give a soft smile at her behaviour before turning to Maryse. If this was approved not only would you and Izzy truly be sisters, but you could keep a close eye on her. It was already instinct for you two to work together in battle so this was the right decision. Maryse doesn't look at either of you so Izzy says something to get her attention.

"Mom. (Y/N) and I want to ask the Clave to become parabati."

"Hmm? I'm sorry what was that Isabelle?"

"(Y/N) and I want to become parabati. We want the Clave's permission."

Maryse nods and begins writing a letter. Isabelle and you turn to each other confused. Once she finishes the letter she puts the fire rune on it and you watch it to up in flames.

"The request was sent. I will tell you the answer when the letter comes in. Isabelle please take (Y/N) home. You both will probably have a long day ahead of you tomorrow."

"Yes mother."

You and Izzy both leave the library and go outside the Institute. You hum to yourself as you both walk down the streets. Izzy smiles causing you to smile as well since her happiness is infectious. You make it to the loft and she turns away leaving so you can go to sleep. You walk in smiling and see your father sitting on the couch. He smiles when he sees your smile and you sit in front of him.

"Guess what might be happening tomorrow!"

"Um...I don't know what might happen tomorrow?"

"Izzy and I might become parabati!"

"That's good Raindrop. That means you need to go to sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day."

"I know. I just wanted to tell you." You say before standing up.

Your father chuckles at you as you leave the room. You quickly change before getting in bed and falling asleep.

~Magnus' P.O.V.~

I check on (Y/N) to make sure she's sleeping and smile when she is. It's slightly fades when she begins to toss and turn looking troubled. I hear a whimper come from her and move towards her. She grips the blankets under her and hisses as if in pain.

I put my hand to her head and close my eyes to see what she sees. What I see takes my breath away and I yank my hand back. So much of me has been passed down to her and so little of her mother. She knows what she is and accepts it, but I don't think she realises that her dreams are visions like mine were.
