Alec Lightwood Imagines

Alec the mentor

"Well if it isn't Alec junior, what are you doing out here?" Magnus stopped in front of you and crouched down, gently wiping a stray tear that had danced its way down your cheek.

"Alec said if I don't approve of the wedding then I shouldn't come and if I can't see that he's doing this for us that... maybe I should go back to Idris." You sighed and looked away from the Warlock before snapping your eyes to his face. "Wait why are you here?" You asked quickly.

"I had an invite from Izzy." He said simply. You grinned and jumped up, hugging onto the warlock who, after a few seconds he hugged you back and chuckled.

"Thank you for coming Magnus... please you have to make him see reason, he can't be miserable for the rest of his life, not for me and Izzy we won't have it." You gasped quickly.

"Well I hope you greeted all Alec's guests so nicely." The warlock chuckled before heading inside. "I'll make no promises but I'd hate to let you down AJ."

After a few moments you turned, frowning up at the institute, before slowly taking the first step towards the building. If Magnus could bare to attend the wedding, surely you, Alec's protégé could to, your foster brother turned mentor needed support and he'd never turn his back on you simply because he couldn't see the full plan.

A noise to your left distracted you and you were quick to pull your blade from the loop on your waist band, a small group of forsaken stumbled out of the shadows, with a glance back towards the Institute you realised that you'd find no one to help you before the forsaken had descended and invaded the main room.

A long deep breath had you heart rate slowing as you raised the blade, squaring your shoulders and raising yourself to the balls of your feet just as Alec had drilled you to do. You'd almost pushed them back when one more came out of nowhere, the last thought you had was of your family, perhaps Alec would forgive you maybe you should just accept that he'd doing anything for you all and that going along with it would at least reduce the strain on Alec.

Alec pulled away from Magnus smiling to himself despite the many shocked onlookers, his gaze fell to the seat that should have been yours, between his parents. His chest squeezed as he thought back to the sharp words he'd spat at you, he had to stop himself flinching, hoping you'd be willing to forgive him sometime soon.

"We should probably go somewhere." Alec muttered to Magnus who chuckled and nodded.

"(Y/N) was outside, feeling a little down perhaps we could cheer her up." Magnus offered seeing Alec give your seat one last glance.

They both hurried from the room leaving the wedding party in the lurch as they headed to where you'd been seen last.

"(Y/N)!" A voice called. "(Y/N) come on please just open your eyes." The voice, you knew it but couldn't place it.

"I'll find the others; then i'll see if there's something I can do to help." Someone else said.

"Come on AJ open those eyes for me." The voice begged. Warm drips of water fell on your skin and something warm wrapped around you. "You're going to be ok, I promise."

"Move get out of my way!" Alec yelled at the people that were hurrying around him. You were heavy in his arms and your pulse was dropping steadily, he wasn't sure how many more healing runes you could handle, having scattered several over the severely injured areas and seeing no improvement he began to panic.

"What did this to her?" Jace hissed as he began roughly barging Shadowhunters out of the way so they could get you to the med bay.

"Forsaken, she handled at least three." Alec muttered. Izzy hurried into the med bay Alec set you down on a bed, Maryse and Robert weren't far behind.

"How did we not know about this, one out doorstep." Maryse's anger with Alec was firmly directed towards whom ever had sent the forsaken.

"I don't know but were going to find out." Alec snapped. Everyone froze as Alec, of all people, headed towards the weapons room glaring at anyone who dared look at him.

"Alec you can't just go off; we need to go through the Clave." Robert said calmly.

"I don't care about the Clave, what if it had been Max, I can't just not do anything look at her... Dad she might not make it through the night." Alec's voice cracked as he turned and thrust an open hand in your direction as if to pointing out the obvious.

"I'm going to." Izzy said quickly. Jace nodded and followed, muttering something to Simon and Clary who had been hovering in the doorway.

"Alec if you don't come back... she'll..." Maryse couldn't find the words as Alec sighed and brushed a hand over your clammy forehead.

"I'll be back; Magnus is going to look for something to help." Alec stated simply before hurrying away. Izzy quickly kissed your cheek and slipped her red gem necklace around your neck, Jace simply swallowed, memorising what they'd done to you as a way of fulling his anger.
