Shadows | Clalec

Chapter 9

When we arrived at the institute I asked where I could find Alec, so I can ask for my phone back. Simon must have been spam calling me but I couldn't find him anywhere and nor did anyone really knew where he was.

I decided to go to my room and I quickly realized that I was still wearing Alec's blouse. I can't believe that I was running around like this. No wonder that Simon thought that I was going insane.

I sighed and let myself fall on my bed and my thoughts went back to my father. I wish I had known him. I wish I did...

I never expected that this would happen, when I finally meet my family. Realising that my mother knew where I was and that my father died because of me.

Not just my father but other shadow hunters too...

I felt the tears in my eyes and I closed my eyes and a few tears escaped and streamed down my cheek. I needed to get myself together and work hard. I needed to get the demons back for killing my father and more other innocent shadow hunters.

And I will never rest before I don't kill that one demon who killed my father.

I heard someone knock on my door and I quickly wiped away my tears.

"Come in!" I yelled and I saw Alec walking inside. I was surprised seeing him here. I never expected him to come here because I guess we hated each other.

"I heard you were looking for me." He said and I nodded.

"I euhm... I just wanted to ask about my phone." I said and he nodded and handed me over my phone.

"Thank you and I will wash it before I give it back." I said to Alec, while pointing at his blouse. He shook his head.

"You can keep it. I don't want to wear something that you wore." He said and my eyes widened. Why was he always so mean to me? I never did something to him.

"Why are you like this?" I asked angry and he looked at me.

"It is because you don't belong here. You never did. If you had died, then a lot of shadow hunters would be alive, including your father. He was one of our best shadow hunters." He said and I gasped in shock when his words left his mouth.

Did he really just say that to me? It felt like I got stabbed in my heart and I felt that I was going to break down again. I knew deep inside my heart that he was right but telling me that if I had died this wouldn't be happening...

"You are right..." I whispered and looked down, not wanting to face him.

I heard Alec walking away and closing the door behind him and I collapsed on the ground as soon as he was gone. The tears didn't stop and the guilt I felt inside was now even more than before.

Alec snapped something in me and I don't even know why his words affect me so much. I know that what he said was true. He was telling me the facts...

I let out a big sigh and wiped away my tears and walked to my bed and laid down.

I was exhausted because of everything. People blaming me, lying to me or hiding something from me. I just needed to escape from this and sleep for a while so I can think straight the next day.

I felt my eyes getting heavier and I closed them and fell asleep.

I was running, running away from something I always thought that existed in fairytales. Shadows, demons and down worlders. I fell down on the ground and quickly looked behind me and luckily no one was there yet.

I stood up and ran as fast as I could. I don't know how I could keep this up, I was running out of the air and stopped for a while to catch my breath.

They all wanted me dead. I was dangerous for them and they needed me gone. I started to run again and I saw a big shadow in front of me.

I stopped right away and looked afraid at the shadow. What should I do now? I ran again the other way but there was a down worlder, to be exact a vampire.

I tried to run the other way, which was blocked by demons.

They caught me and now I couldn't go anywhere.

"Let me go please." I begged for my life. It looked like it didn't really worked. The vampire laughed at me and the demon growled.

The shadow took my hand and I screamed as hard as I could. Only one touch makes my skin burn and it was unbearable. The pain was too much.

The pain was so much that I fell down on the ground. All my energy was drained and I couldn't run away. The vampire bit in my wrist and I squeezed my eyes and tried to handle the pain I was feeling.

I felt him drinking my blood and I felt how he was drinking all that I had inside away, the life inside me was almost gone...

The demon looked at me and growled for a while and then bit me in my leg. I screamed the pain out and I saw the blood streaming out of my body like it was water.

I screamed so hard that probably everyone here in the institute could hear me. I sat upright and I felt the sweat on my forehead and body. My breathing was fast and I tried to catch it up.

Someone ran inside my room and I saw Alec looking at me. Alec looked so worried and afraid, afraid that something might have happened.

I have no idea why he was the first person to come here and be afraid and worried. He was not really the caring person and especially not for me.

He ran towards me and looked at me. I could see it in his eyes. He wanted to ask me what happened and why I screamed.

I looked at him and I felt the same pain that I was feeling in my nightmares. I got confused and started to figure out why I was feeling this way.

"W-what?" I stuttered as I looked at my wrist. I could see the mark, where the vampire bit me in my nightmare. My breathing was going fast and I threw away the blankets on the ground and looked at my leg. I could see the mark, where the demon bit me and I looked at my hand and I saw the burned skin.

"How did this happen?" He asked me and looked at my wounds. He stood up and started to check my room but he didn't found something, which made him confused. He sat down next to me and held my hand, in order to calm me down.

"M-my nightmares." I stuttered and looked afraid at Alec. I bit on my underlip, in order to stop myself from crying.

Alec looked at me and pulled me into a hug.

I was shocked at first. I never expected Alec hugging me or comforting me. Especially not after what he said after he blamed me for everything.

Alec and I were not really friends or even liked each other. This was a big surprise for me. I never knew that Alec had this side of him and I wish I would always see this side because I knew I would be there for him, with him.

I held him tight and let my face hide in his chest and cried softly. This made me feel relieved. I could finally let my emotions out.

I was so scared. I don't know what was going on, which was confusing all of the time. I don't know how to handle this nor did I ever wanted to become a part of this world. As I was beyond happy to have my brother I did wish we all had a normal life...

I knew that I was going insane and I didn't knew how to stop this. How was I going to do this? How was this even possible?

I held Alec even more tightly as I got more scared. Almost thinking that he would protect me from everything but I knew it was too good to be true...
