Alec Lightwood Imagines

Isabelle's Demon

Alec didn't say anything as he walked up to Izzy, standing next to her as they watched the woman in the Mundane hospital bed in front of them. Tears streamed down Izzy's face as she watched the woman's child cling to her.

"I did this." Izzy whispered angrily.

"Izzy you did the best you could." Alec tried to comfort her but she shook her head and stepped closer to the little girl.

"We're supposed to help people not hurt them." She wanted to comfort the child, none of the Mudanes were even bothering.

"You couldn't help it, there's always something that goes wrong on your first mission!" Alec sighed.

They both watched as a nurse came into the room to check on the woman. She smiled at the child and crouched down next to her, stopping the girl from doodling on the paper she'd been given.

"It'll be alright sweetheart." The nurse promised.

"What if the monster comes back." The little girl whispered and pointed to her drawing.

"There are no monsters here." The nurse promised. "Here, why don't you wear this just in case."

She pulled off a necklace with a small angel in a silver loop hung on the thin chain. The child politely thanked her and inspected the necklace before looking back up at the nurse with wide, innocent eyes.

"This isn't what angels look like." They girl insisted. "They're tall and pretty with black hair and funny drawings on them."

"Excuse me... nurse?" a man in a suit called the nurse away before she could answer and left the little girl to her drawings.

After a few minutes the man came back and told the girl she would be going to live in a big house with lots of other children. Alec had to grip onto Izzy to stop her from making herself visible and helping the girl who tried desperately to stay with her mother.

"It's alright sweetie, your Mommy's gone to see the angels." The nurse explained.

Fresh tears fell down Izzy's cheeks as the girl hurried to kiss her mother and placed a drawing at the foot of the bed. When they looked closer it was Izzy fighting the demon that had attacked her mother.

"Thank you angels." She whispered and hurried out of the room with the men in suits.

Izzy stepped forward and picked up the picture, swallowing around the lump in her throat and Alec wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"Thank you." The woman whispered, looking directly at them.

"I promise I'll watch over her." Izzy said and the woman smiled. The pair walked out of the hospital the flatlining beep forever memorised as the saddest sound they'd ever heard.
