I screeched as I thrusted my hands towards the demon. Magnus was on one side of the room and I was on the other, both of us were trying to corral Valack. After Alec broke the bond, Valack gained too much strength. Red and Blue were loosely swirling around the demon. Red eyes blinked back at us before Jace was swooped up by the demon. Isabelle and Alec grabbed onto his hands but they weren't strong enough. Izzy was begging Clary to help them and she kept hesitating. All I could do was grit my teeth and push back harder, red lines started to appear on my arms. They started and my wrists and were trailing towards my elbows, following the veins and arteries. The world became slightly darker as my eyes switched back to their natural form.
Clary stabbed Valack to free Jace and Magnus and I flew back towards the walls. I screamed when my ribs made contact. If they weren't broken from before they definitely were now. Magnus gave me a hand up as the rest of the shadowhunters surrounded Jace. Alec looked torn, his head kept flipping between Jace and I. It was like he didn't know who to check on first. I made the decision for him by nodding towards his friend.
"Is he gonna be all right?" Clary looked at Magnus and I. I looked at Magnus before shrugging. I didn't know and at this exact moment I didn't care too much.
"I don't know. Does he normally just lay like that without moving?" Magnus spoke for the both of us and Clary rolled her eyes before turning back to the knocked out shadowhunter.
"Get up. Jace."
"Jace."
He woke up with a body shuddering gasp. "I'm all right. I'm all right. I'm all right. I'm just getting my second wind." I followed Magnus and Alec out of the room. Jace just woke up, why was Alec out here?
"There's nothing to be ashamed of, Alec." Magnus breezed past stopping just to hear his response.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You will." Clary and Jace continued their reunion as Izzy came over to us. Alec took one look at her before walking off. I simply sighed and gave her a smile that most likely looked like one of pain before following after him. I followed him out onto a balcony and just stood beside him quietly.

"He's not going to see it the way you think he will." I finally choked out. I was confused. I've only known Alec for a few days but I already felt so attached to him. It's all fun and games with the flirting and everything but now I was starting to feel... more.
"How do you know?" I looked up at him to see he was already looking at me.
"You're like a brother to him. I'm sorry but that's how he sees you, this isn't going to change that. He'll think of it as brotherly love."
"Will he though? You don't even know him. I'm pretty sure you don't even like him too. How do you know what he'll think?" He backed away from the rail we were leaning on and I turned around to face him. I gave a quiet defeated laugh.
"I've been alive for a long time Alec. I know a thing or two about people and he fits perfectly into his 'type'. Trust me, I'm wiser and older then I seem." I looked down at my fingers and toyed with them while waiting for him to respond. This was a touchy subject with him. One wrong word and he'll close up tighter then a clam shell. I was getting a glimpse at the iridescent pearl that was hiding in his depths and I didn't want it to be over.
"And what's his type? What's my type and why are you so sure you have all of us labeled after knowing us for a few days?" He was starting to get worked up but he wasn't closing up on me.
"He's the typical bad boy. You'll find him in all cliche romance books aimed at teenage girls and Alec, you're different." I stepped closer to him and reached out to touch his forearm. "You're the bad boys best friend. The one that's more like the boy next door but he still has an edge. Trust me. Your secret is still safe, if it's not I'll wipe his memory for you." I craned my neck up to look into his eyes and smiled when I saw his small nod. "Let's go inside." I encouraged. He dutifully followed me back inside and somewhere in all the moving my hand slipped from is forearm to his hand. Fingers interlocked we walked into Magnus and I's new condo, mentally preparing for the madness.

*I know it's super short but I didn't realize that there wasn't much of the episode left. I'm so sorry that it took me so long to update but I can't promise that I will be faster with them. I had nasty writers block for the first half of this chapter. Thank you everybody who answered my questions and please keep answering them. Until next time, R 💋
