Storm Warning (Alec Lightwood x Reader)

part II

You and Clary walked into the shop shoulder to shoulder, to see Dot, who was practically yours and clarys older sister using tarot cards.

"Hey, Dot"

"Hey, Dot"

You both chimed at the same time.

"Hey!" she looked up "how's your future looking?" Clary asked "No trouble from those energies i hope" you added.

"Future looks good, but not as good as yours" she said looking at clary you both hummed in response. You took a look at the cards and ... that looked...promising and a bit scary. Dot showed you how to read some of the cards when you were younger, you were normally right but she also taught you the dangers. And how it only shows you a possible outcome so you weren't really worried about what you saw. Dot continued "the tarot cards tell me you got into the advanced program".

"And by 'tarot cards' do you mean 'Simon's twitter account'?" you asked "okay, i follow him" Dot admitted "turns out reading the future with tarot cards is very complicated that's why i have y/n do them, but i do see birthday presents in your futures". She took two bags from behind the counter and gave them to the two of you.

"Dot" Clary said, Dot chuckled "okay open them!" she rushed you. Clary pulled out a long sleeve black top with sheer stripes and you pulled out a flowy red cami top with a small v neck. Dot knew 'exposed' wasn't really your style you preferred large T-shirts and sweatshirts (if you don't forget that) but somehow she still chose the perfect stuff, even for you.

"Wow"

"Wow"

You said together.

"Yeah, you might want to keep those on the DL, 'cause your mom's my boss and i don't want her to flip out" Dot said "yeah, but that's how i know it's cool" Clary said you all laughed a-bit.

"You know, you're way better at gift-giving than magically predicting the future" you said while putting the top back in it's bag "nothing magical about it I just buy the things I wanna wear, happy birthday" she said while pulling you two in for a hug.

"Thank you" clary said

"Yeah, thanks" you added

"I love you, both" Dot said while releasing you from the hug.

"We love you, too"

"We love you, too"

You both said together. Dot smiled at your twin habbit's and sighed.

"You okay" Clary asked.

"Yeah. yeah happy birthday" you both gave her a look "go up and see your mom" she said. Clary smiled and grabbed her things while walking away you glanced at Dot before she said "go!" you grabbed your bag and followed close behind your sister.

"Mom!"

"Mom!"

You both called.

"You did it! Yay!" your mom said "you also follow Simon?" Clary asked "he only has 92 followers he needs the retweets. Congratulations clary" mom laughed as she pulled you both in for a hug.

"Thank you. Hashtag, stalker mom" Clary said mom pulled out two wooden boxes from behind her back and handed one to each of you "happy birthday". You both sat down on the couch next to each other and mom next to Clary. When you opened the boxes you each had a twisted metal stick with a crystal tip and those symbols Clary always drew, they kind of looked like wands. Yours had some (favorite/color) stones on the handle.

Is mom gonna tell us we're wizards?! You thought

"It's called a stele" mom said.

"What is it, like , a paperweight?" Clary asked

"No, they're much more than that" she paused "they're very ancient, i want you to have them...they're family heirlooms"

"We Frays have heirlooms" Clary chuckled

"A few"

"You know it's weird, clary drew something like this earlier" you said pointing to one of the symbols.

"I must have seen it around the house somewhere" Clary said, you nodded they did look vaguely familiar.

"Honey i need to--" your mom got cut off by clarys phone, she checked it and said "Simon he's on his way over"

"But we need to talk" your mom said

"We can't right now, we gotta change we're going to see champagne emena tonight" Clary argued whilst standing up and grabbing your arm.

"What?" your mom asked

"yeah we know the new name sucks" you said

"But Maureen and Simon are taking us out after" Clary finished

"But it's...it's your 18th birthday and,uh,..." your mom took a deep breath "everything's gonna change for you two now"

"Mom" you said "we've had the talk, we're good"

Clary tried walking away and dragging you but your mom grabbed her arm. "We need to have a much different more important talk" she said. Your mom's voice had a hint had desperation to it.

"And we will" Clary reassured her "but can it be over breakfast, All right?" Clary kissed her forehead "I love you" she said before dragging you to your shared room.

"Thanks for the heirloom, I love you" you shouted over your shoulder as Clary continued to lead you to your room.
