Don't walk into the light, it's too dark for you there (Phan x Shadowhunters)

"Are you on drugs?"

"Yes sure. What's up?"

"Please sit down Daniel."

"I knew something was up. I fucking knew it. Are you getting a divorce? Are you sick?"

"Daniel, please just... shut up and let me talk. I have a lot to tell you and I'm pretty sure you won't believe me but I need you to trust me."

"Now you're just scaring me. What is going on?"

"I don't know how to start this conversation." She took a deep breath.

"All the stories that your father told you when you were a child. They were all true. There are vampires, werewolves, demons, shadowhunters and so many other magical creatures. Most importantly, there are warlocks. A warlock is something like a wizard. Basically they are able to do magic and they are created when a demon and a human or whatever other creature have a child together. This is just a basic explanation, I'll have you talk to a real warlock sometime."

"Mom, why is this crap important? Are you on drugs?"

"You're a warlock Daniel. That's why it's important. I made mistakes when I was younger and I'm not saying that you were a mistake but I cheated on your father and you are the one who has to bear the consequences. The reason why I'm telling you today of all days is that this was your last birthday and before you freak, that doesn't mean that you'll die. Warlocks are immortal. You stopped aging today."

"No, I don't believe that." Dan was crying at this point.

"You're my mom, why would you tell me shit like that."

"I'm finally telling you the truth."

"What about Adrian? Can't you go tell him lies too?"

"Adrian is normal. He is not a warlock."

"Can you please stop? It's not funny."

"I'm not laughing Daniel."

"You can't be serious. Like... I would know, right? Right?!?"

"I am so sorry Daniel. I really am. But we can figure this out. I'll have you talk to a friend of mine. His name is Magnus Bane. He's a warlock, he can explain everything to you."

"No, you're not doing anything. I don't ever want to talk to you again." And with those words, Dan left the apartment. He slammed the door after him and ran out of the front door. Passing his dad and Phil and just ran into the darkness.

"DANIEL?!" His dad screamed after him, but Dan didn't care. He ran until he was sure that no one was following him. Completely out of breath, he sat down somewhere in London in a dark corner and cried. Not knowing what was happening and just hoping that this was all a prank or just a really bad nightmare. His sadness slowly turned into anger. He was angry at his mother, his father and just every other person in this universe.

"This can't be true. There are no wizards or vampires or fucking werewolves." Dan looked at his hands.

"Can I actually do magic?" Dan fixated on the trashcan that was standing next to him. He held up his hand and concentrated on the trash but nothing happened.

"I knew she was lying! Or just pranking me! It's not funny." He kept his eyes on the trashcan. "BURN! Fucking trash can!" With those words, the trash can started to burst into flames.
