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

"What's wrong with Dan?"

"What's wrong with Dan?"

"Oh it's probably nothing."

"Nothing? I don't think he would've cried if it was nothing. I'm going after him."

"No, you're not. I'll go and find him. He's angry and that's dangerous."

"Since when is Dan dangerous? It's Dan. He can't even kill a spider."

"If you keep talking, I won't be able to catch up with him. Go upstairs and go to bed or make a youtube video or whatever it is you want to do."

"I want to follow Dan."

"Well, you're not going to." With that being said, Dan's father followed the same path Dan took.

He's my best friend I should be following him. But Phil didn't go after them, instead he went upstairs, because there was still one person he could talk to. A person that could give him answers other than Dan.

Back in the apartment, Dan's mother was sitting on the sofa. Just like Dan, she was in tears.

"Did you have a fight with Dan?"

"Oh I didn't even notice that you came in."

"Well are you gonna tell me what's going on?"

"I can't."

"Why not? Dan is my best friend. We will probably spend the rest of ours lives here together. I should know what's going on."

"Alright fine. He will not keep it from you anyway."

"So tell me." Phil sat down opposite to Dan's mother.

"Did my husband tell you the stories?" Phil nodded.

"They are all true, Phil. There are werewolves, vampires and all that other stuff." Phil wasn't the person to question this. He had always believed in the supernatural.

"Daniel is a warlock and I told him today. I think the worst part for him is that warlocks are immortal. That's why it's dangerous to follow him right now. He's angry, who knows what he'll do."

"But it's Dan. He wouldn't hurt anybody."

"He doesn't know how to control his powers. Strong emotions may lead to things he will regret. He just needs to calm down and then I'll get an experienced warlock to talk to him. The same one that also helped me when Daniel was born, he even made sure that no one could see his warlock mark." Phil was confused.

"What is a warlock mark?"

"Something unusual on the warlock's body, that makes them unique. It helps to identify a warlock."

"Well what was Dan's mark?"

"Dog eyes. Husky to be exact. Bright blue and cold. Almost white. Too strange to be human."

"Well that definitely fits his personality."

"Yes but we wanted him to have a normal life."

"So why did you tell him today of all days?"

"Today was his last birthday. He won't age anymore."

"Ohh, but what about me? I'm already older than him. That will look weird when I'm 60 and he's still 27."

"Don't you understand Phil? This will change everything. He also can't do Youtube for much longer. At some point people will notice that he doesn't age. This changes his life."
