Alec ~ Never Forgive, Never Forget

It's any other, usual day at the institute...demon on the loose, possessing people and killing them for fun because that's what they do. You know, business as usual.

The sound of the door opening behind you alerts you but you don't turn around. You know it's Alec, it's always Alec.

"What are you doing here?" you laugh lightly, still not turning around

No answer.

You frown but ignore it, passing it off as usual Alec broodiness.

Finally, you turn around.

And are immediately met with Alec's pure black eyes.

"Shit-" you hiss, grabbing for your phone to alert the other but before you can move a muscle, Alec pushes you against the wall

"No, Alec, don't, please" you cry, looking into those soulless eyes, "Please, Alec, if you're in there, don't do this"

"Actually, yes" he says, smiling sinisterly, his voice distorted - the demon speaking, "Yes, I do"

You see his fist punch through the flesh of your chest before you feel the pain of it. It, quite literally, is like being blown apart. Blood spurts from the wound and instantaneously coats your shirt and Alec's arm up to his elbow

"Alec" you cough, blood trailing from you lips, "Please..."

Of course, you get no response, just another heart crushing punch to the chest. You feel the pressure around your heart, feeling every second of the demon's assault. You're heart is literally breaking. 

'Alec' retreats from you, pulling his blood soaked hand from your body before looking upwards, to where he knows there is a camera. You watch him smile at it smugly as you slide to the floor, keening over into yourself as your body shuts down slowly.

The last thing you see before the world goes black is Alec's face. And despite everything, despite the black eyes and blood covered arm, it was the best thing you could've hoped to see in your final moments.

*ALEC POV*

"As soon as you get this please call me" A female voice echoes from the hall

The sound of the phone clicking off.

The sound of denim scuffing together as she walks towards me

"Alec?"

Suddenly, I'm awake. No longer zoned out.

But, God, I wish I was.

As soon as I snap out of whatever trance I was in, I realise I'm shaking. I'm not cold, but I'm shaking. As I look down at my hands, my shirt I spot bright red blood.

Oh, God.

"What did I do?" I gasp, more to myself than to Clary

Clary looks horrified, having realised exactly where she was, whose room I was sitting outside of and she hesitantly turns the corner into the bedroom.

She instantly reaches for the door, tears welling up in her eyes at the scene. She slides down the wall, her hand covering her mouth as she cries.

Oh, God, no. No, no, no.

"Y/N" Clary cries

NO!

I stand up immediately, running around the corner and into the room. 

Sure enough, Y/N is lying here on the floor, her eyes open and a gaping, raw hole in the middle of her chest still oozing blood.

"No" I whisper, "No, Y/N, no."
