CHAPTER 12 – THE DOWNSIDES OF A PARABATAI

JACE

As Jace swiped the ‘accept call’ button on his phone, he began to plot the numerous ways he could murder his parabatai without getting into too much trouble.

“By the angel Alec, you couldn’t have picked a worse time to call, you’re kind of interrupting something-“ Jace began, frustration clear in his voice.

“I need you to come pick me up.” Alec interrupted, his voice cracking mid-sentence. Jace could hear cars in the background of the call, leading him to think that Alec was lost downtown somewhere.

“Look, I’m kind of in the middle of something here Alec.” Jace began again, trying to hint exactly what he was doing to his ever-clueless blood brother.

“What are you in the middle of?” Alec asked, his interest perked.

“Well Clary and I were just about to-“

Again, Alec interrupted Jace by saying “Training with Clary is not as important as this Jace, I really need you right now.”

“Alec, Clary needs me right now, and no, we’re not training.”

“Then what are you doing?” Jace’s parabatai asked innocently.

“Here’s a hint: I was just in bed with Clary, so you have three seconds to tell me what is SO important that you had to interrupt us for!” Jace whispered, not wanting Clary to come out of the room and make him go pick up Alec.

“I went to Magnus’s place and he was with this girl and he’s dating her and he told me he’ll forget me and that he’s dated TONS of shadowhunters and downworlders and she sat on his lap and kissed him and they made me coffee and asked me to stay and Magnus said no I was just leaving!” Jace could hear Alec begin to sob down the phone.

“Look Alec, if you stay right there then I’ll just-“

A scream sounded from Clary’s bedroom, causing Jace to gasp in surprise before returning his attention to the phone.

“Alec, I’ll call you back.”

“But I need-“ 

Without hesitation, Jace opened the door.
