Saddest fear » Alec Lightwood.

Now I heard you moved on from whispers on the street.

- "Thank God you're okay" - Taylor tried to not look at Clary hugging Jace, she could still hear Alec's arms around her waist, his breath on her neck - "Taylor?" - the blonde opened her eyes, she got lost again in her mind. She tried to smile at Clary - "Are you all right?" - the girl tried to lie, as she was saved by Isabelle who spoke with concern - "Can we please focus on the matter at hand? Unless no one here cares that the Clave is planning on murdering Meliorn" -

- "What?" - Clary and Simon asked, while now Taylor smiled genuinely at the two friends who seemed to have recovered their friendship - "They think Meliorn has more information on Valentine and the attack than he's saying, they're taking him to the Silent Brothers" - Jace explained hurriedly, leaving out details that Taylor didn't want to add, she thought if she talked, then she would really slumped over on the floor for the pain that was tearing apart her heart. - "We have to stop them!" -

- "That's the plan, Clary. Rescue and recovery. We get him from the guards, in and out, no one gets hurt " - Clarissa turned her attention to the pale blue-eyed girl, Taylor seemed upset, she never saw her friend so pale, as if she had fought for hours. - "You want us to go up against the Silent Brothers, and an elite guard unit Shadowhunter? Without any backup?" - the red head asked - "Pretty much sums it up" -

- "Is Alec coming?" - Taylor gulped, her heart missed a beat on hearing that name. In a short time Alexander had made space in her life and now having to avoid even the thought of him, was impossible. Her lips quivered, those same lips that the Lightwood had kissed and made red without the intervention of the lipstick. Taylor touched with a finger those lips, an involuntary gesture - "No, not this time" - Clary glanced Taylor, she saw the blonde break in front of her eyes. What had happened during her absence? Clary acknowledged that her friend was heartbroken.

- "If... if they're doing this to Seelies, no Downworlder is safe" - the Fairchild stammered, unable to not think of Alec and what happened with Taylor - "But we can't go in alone, not if we don't want to be detected" -

- "My pack will track the unit, create a distraction" - Luke threw himself in the speech - "I would suggest vampires, but... I doubt they'll cooperate" - Simon tried to help - "As much as I hate to agree with Simon, vamps aren't exactly team players" - Taylor moistened her lips, it was time to go back to being the strong girl that her parents had educated - the independent woman who had managed to get away from Magnus, now she would have done the same thing - "Let me talk to Raphael I think I can persuade him" - finally Taylor spoke and all the attention was on her.

- "Are you sure? If you want to go back to the Institute, maybe distract them from inside... If you don't feel ready to..." - Taylor paused Jace's rant - "I'm not a fragile object, I am much stronger than you all" - the girl argued with audacity and Jace smiled at her, for a moment the Shadowhunter had thought that Taylor would not resume quickly, but he was wrong. - "See you soon" - Taylor nodded and beckoned to Clarissa and Simon to follow her, the blonde was sure that if Simon had decided to stay on their side, Raphael would have to listen to them.

- "Do you want to talk about it?" - Clarissa asked restless as they walked - "What?" - Taylor pretended as always to ignore the question - "I've never seen you like this, what happened?"- the red head took her by the arm, stopping her, while Simon stepped back, undecided whether to step aside and let the two girls alone - "There's not much to say" - Taylor sketched a laugh , failing miserably.

- "Alexander is getting married" - Taylor announced as a tear slipped away from her eyes, but the blonde was determined to not show weakness - "What? What are you talking about? He can't!" - Clary began to say - "Instead he can and he will" - Taylor finished coolly, trying to walk, but Clary didn't want to close the speech - "With whom?" - the blonde sighed, running a hand over her hair - "An envoy of the Clave, she has just arrived and is very appreciated in the Shadow World" -
