I floating. Or rather, my spirit was. I didn't know where I was, except for the fact that I was in a white room, but what I did know was that Alec wasn't with me. That angered and saddened me to no end. I don't know how long I've been here, could have been minutes, hours, even days. I was in the middle of pouting with my arms crossed over my chest when my spirit was once again pulled to Angel knows where.

"Welcome, Samara Lightwood." I heard a male voice say and my temper flared dangerously high.

"Welcome, my ass." I scoffed. "Where am I and where is my husband?" I demanded of the voice. "And who in the angel are you?" I questioned the voice all in one breath, highly frustrated with not knowing anything. I wanted to see Alec, not be stuck inside a limbo all alone.

"Your husband is alive and safe. You are currently in the limbo where spirits with either unfinished business or wasn't meant to die yet, resides." The voice answered me politely and patiently. "As for who I am, it is not of importance."

I shook my head in denial, unable to believe it's words, "No, you're lying. Alec is dead. He died in my arms. I felt our bond sever." Tears welled up in my eyes but I refused to let them fall. I wouldn't show weakness in front of something I don't know and can't see the face off.

"Your bond started to sever because he started to die, but you saved him." He explained and confusion swan through my veins. Could this be true? Had I really save Alec? If so, how did I save him? My heartbeat sped up slightly at the possibility and a sliver of hope started to rise in me.

"Okay, I'll bite." I said, nodding my head. "How did I save him?" I questioned raising my eyebrows, still not entirely believe what it was claiming.

"That's an easy one." He said simply and I slipped an annoyed expression on my face. It sighed. "With your Reaper powers." If I was surprised before, I was gobsmacked now. I felt my jaw drop and my eyes widen in disbelief. It let out a chuckle.

"How?" I spluttered, waving my hands as if to help indicate my state of incredulousness. I didn't know much about my powers, if anything at all, but I shouldn't be able to heal people and save them from the brink of death. Should I?

"You activated your reaper powers. Seeing your other half, lying there, on the brink of death - it unlocked your reaper powers. The energy you gathered from killing the werewolf, who was about to kill Alexander, you gave to him but it wasn't enough and you started giving your own energy to him, which is why you are here." He explained to me once again. I frowned as I went through my last memories and remember how energy suddenly filled me when I started walking to the wolf and my husband.

"So, basically what you are saying is that I can give and take energy and that I'm dead." I said sourly, not liking it one bit. I thought I was going to be with Alec, instead I'm stuck here alone.

"Dying." He corrected and curiosity filled me.

"What?" I asked, my tone eager and slightly excited. Maybe all hope wasn't lost just yet. And I could see my family again.

"You aren't dead yet. I told you this earlier. And you weren't ready to die yet, but I needed to talk to you, Samara." He told me seriously.

"So, I can go back?" I questioned, overjoyed at this turn of events. I didn't see a life, or after-life, worth living without Alec by my side. I missed him already and I wanted to see him again. I have so many things that I still want to say to him, so many things that I want to do with him. And that requires us to be together and preferably alive.

"Yes." He confirmed and I smiled widely. "But you need to listen to me." I nodded, indicating for him to continue because I had a feeling I wouldn't be going anywhere if I don't listen to him.

"There is an great evil coming your way. The other one, just like you, is coming for all of you. And only you can stop him. Use what you have wisely and you will defeat him." He told me and my eyes widened. The same as me. There is only one person I know of.

"Jonathan." I gasped in horror. He is still out there. I hadn't even given him as much as a second thought but the fact is, he is still alive. And from what it is telling me, he is coming for all of us. I

"Yes, Jonathan Morgenstern." It told me, his voice stern and coated with a note of disgust. "He will come for you. All of you." My expression darkened.

"I won't let him get near my family." I snarled furiously.

"He already has." My body went rigid and fear paralyzed my body as I began to connect the dots. It all made so much sense now that I'm looking at it with this new information.

"The Rogue Werewolf Pack." I gasped in realisation. "They were working for him."

"Yes," He answered, his voice tone indifferent and it angered me. "But if you learn to use your powers correctly and use it full, you will be able to stop." It told me and my jaw clenched as I opened and closed my fist to try and control myself from lashing out.

"How am I supposed to do that? I don't even know how I killed that werewolf." I snapped defensively. This guy was expecting too much of me. If Jonathan was so evil and dangerous, why don't the angels just come down to earth and kill him? Lazy assholes.

"Ask Magnus Bane for help. He will help you gain control." Was it's simply reply. Well that shouldn't be too hard. Magnus happens to like me and already offered to help me but my stubborn ass refused.

I was about to ask him another question when suddenly I was engulfed by darkness for a moment before my eyes opened.

I woke up with a sharp gasp leaving my lips as I sat up. I looked around to see that I was lying in the infimary at the institute. I got out of bed, feeling well rested and good to go. But all I wanted was to see my husband.

"Mrs. Lightwood, you need to get back in bed." I heard a nurse tell me, placing a hand on my shoulder. I smacked it of and glared at her harshly.

"Like hell I will." I snarled at her, making her shrink back in fear. "Now, are you going to tell me where my husband is, or am I going to have to make you?" I asked her darkly, raising a threatening eyebrow.

"He's at Magnus Bane's apartment." She answered, her voice quivering in fear and my eyebrow furrowed in confusion.

"Why isn't he here?" I questioned her.

"His state was more severe than yours." She informed me, calming down now that I wasn't scaring her anymore. "But he will be okay." She added on when she saw my panicked expression. I sighed in relief.

"Okay, good." I said, starting pace up and down - thinking about what to do, obviously I'm going to Alec. I remembered my conversation with 'it' and how it told me that I healed Alec before I passed out. Maybe, I could heal him completely.

With that thought in mind, I left the infimary - dispite the objections of my nurse - and made my way to my room. I can't walk out of here in a bloody hospital gown.

Alright, sorry for the wait and the short chapter but I was very stuck on who to write it. I knew what I wanted to say, but I didn't know how to put it into words.

I hope you enjoyed.
