Silent Agony (Alec lightwood love

Chapter 6

I try to sleep but my throat is still burning I move under Alec's hand and his eyes open immediately. I point to the throat and make a drinking cup signal. He nods before closing his eyes again while I walk out of my room. To see thank Clary and Jace are back to talk to Magnus I roll my eyes before starting to walk over to them in mid conversation

Jace is talking. "If Dot had the cards when she was taken, we don't have much time. If Valentine gets his hands on the Cup...

Magnus interjects quickly. "We know. If Valentine started creating Shadowhunters or gained control of demons, it'd be like Beyoncé riding on a dinosaur through Times Square. People would notice." Clearly none of them have noticed me yet which is kind of good, I guess. I mean I'm the master of silence and being overlooked. "Paying off a few demons is easy, especially since they rarely survive long enough to collect." I now see Clary and Magnus have noticed me and I place my finger to my lips telling them to be quiet. If he is as experienced as he says he is he should be able to detect me and if he is going to try to beat Valentine and the circle, he needs to be prepared for anything, even a crazy mute girl.

While he is talking, I grab the nearby umbrella and make my move quacking I have the umbrella around his neck and him against me he quickly flips me onto the floor and I then use the hook of the handle to catch his ankle to bring him to the ground. Jace looks at me surprised and Alec rushes out of my room heading the noise. "What's going on!?" Alec says looking at both Jace and me on the floor.

I sign to Magnus and he chuckles. "You're not wrong Theia, for someone who claim to be as good as he is, he should have been able to hear you coming and dodge you. However, I don't think its his lack of neurons, as you put it but, rather that you my sweet pea are too talented for a professional Shadowhunter to take you on." Magnus says in a condescending tone while helping me up.

"Your good Theia maybe you could help me with my combat skills. Clary says I simply nod

Jace helps himself off the floor. "I won't let you do that again Mundie." He says Grumpily.

I swipe at his head and he catches my arm.

"I don't think she appreciates the name. Theia's good give her credit where its due." Luke walks out of Magnus's room looking rough but alive. I walk over to him and fuss with some of the bandage that has got a little bunched up. "Valentine doesn't have the cards. I do. They're in my desk back at the precinct. When Clary went missing, I went to the loft and I cleared everything out, because I didn't want the Circle to track her." I smile at how smart Luke is for thinking of that and pat his arm gently.

"That's great. This should be easy." Clary says hopeful.

I look to Magnus as he chirps in his two-sense worth "Hmm, that's what General Custer said." This is why me and Magnus work so well together, we think so alike. Him just being more dramatic about how he presents things.

"Magnus is right. Valentine has spies everywhere, even in the NYPD. We have to be discreet." Luke is talking while I keep fiddling around him. He shouldn't be out of bed yet even if he has werewolf healing.

Thankfully Clary interjects "Discreet? You look like something out of The Mummy movie."

Luke grabs my nervous hands and holds them close to his chest, so I have no choice but to look up at him "We'll go in the morning. Werewolf healing, remember? This is nothing a couple of hours of beauty sleep can't fix." I roll my eyes and walk back to the kitchen for more tea.

Alec follows me into the kitchen. "You know you could have just walked to the kitchen and not try to get the better of Jace." I roll my eyes and shrug my shoulders. "I know he makes you uneasy and all and that you aren't a big fan of him, but he is my parabatai, I trust him with my life and I promise you he will protect you just as I said I will.
