LORD OF SHADOWS SPOILERS

Alec couldn't stop himself from collapsing.

Everything was absolute Chaos. Annabel had the Soul Sword. She was striking at each and every Shadowhunter that came near her.

He recognized the blonde headed Emma with her parabatai Jules together. Julian had apparently lost his sword, and that was when his sister came to aid him. Livia. That is her name. Or was.

She was stabbed by the broken hilt of the Soul Sword. How the sword broke? Alec didn't know. He was too distracted to notice that.

The first thing he saw, and the thing that caused him to collapse, was the sight of his father.

His strong and heroic father, lying on the ground with a severe wound. Stark red blood spread out all around him.

He screamed and yelled for his father. Trying to see if he was still alive. He wished and prayed to the angel that he was alive, like be rarely ever did.

He was crying. It was odd because he had never showed his emotions like this before. He never cried instantly for Max. The only person he cried for was for Magnus.

Alec almost had a complete mental breakdown at the thought of Magnus.

He was sick. Dangerously so. And there was no cure. He would waste his energy quickly and then pass out for sometimes days. And everytime Alec didn't know if he would wake up.

And that added on top of the fresh death of his father was too much. But Alec would give himself one minute to grieve.

One minute to grieve quickly for his father that had changed for the better in the last 5 years. He grieved for the man that came around to love Alec for who he is and who he loves. He grieved the man that treated Magnus like a son, and not just a business associate.

He also let his worry of Magnus over come. The worry that his immortal life would end sooner than expected. That he would leave Max in this cold and dark world. And that both Max and Rafe had a chance of losing a father.

And lastly, one minute to stress over this cohort. To stress over the people who want to bring the days where Downworlders were killed for sport and that Warlocks were used as slaves and had all of their lives on display for the Clave. Alec usually wouldn't stress over things like them, but they were gaining followers and gaining them fast.

Alec's minute was quickly up.

He stood on shaking legs. His bow still on the ground.

He picked it up quickly before turning and firing at Annabel. But she was already dead.

Killed by no other than Emma.

Alec let himself silently congratulate the young girl.

He would've actually gone over to her, but pain streaked her face. She was looking at Julian.

Julian was cradling Livia. The girl that was only 15 and was outrageously smart with the multiple family members that no doubt would all mourn for years if the Blackthorn legacy of family still stood.

Alec's heart ached. He couldn't imagine Izzy dying. Nor Jace. Be never wanted to.

His eyes scanned the rest of the room.

Mark Blackthorn. The young boy that Alec had say in Edom so many years ago, now stood tall. His platnium blonde hair in dissary as his two toned eyes scanned the dark scene.

He also had someone with him. And younger boy. Pitch black hair with a thin frame and headphones.

If it wasn't for Alec's studies he would have not recognized Ty as one of the Blackthorns. He looked more like the older generations of his family.

And if he was right, Livia was his twin. Alec's breath caught. Some said twin bonds were stronger that parabatai. Alec usually doubted that. But, Alec had seen the pair before. They were defiantly a force to be reckoned with.

Alec would've let his thoughts wandered more if it wasn't for a black smoke that broke the glass of the Accords Hall.

Alec winced and covered his ears at the sound that emitted.

But that wasn't even the worse part. It was the Unseelie Court emblem that appeared.

Alec's first thought was to run. Not because of fear, but because he had his fiancé and sons in the city that was now unsafe.

He instantly sprinted out of the doors that he came from. But not before turning and whispering to his father.

"Ave Atque Vale, dear father."

Lmao, I wrote this all in thirty minutes because the idea popped into my head while I was laying in bed. It's of course unedited. I just really wanted to get something uploaded. I have been writing an adorable story with Max and Alec. So once this gets like 30 views I'll upload it.

Also did anyone see the Eclipse? It was kind of underwhelming, but to be fair I wasn't in the path of totality.

Anyway, peace my friends!

P.s it's not actually the Solar Eclipse, it's the Black Moon. The Fire Nation is weak. . .
