Storm Warning (Alec Lightwood x Reader)

Part VI

Clary paced the room explaining what had just gone down at the club to mom, you were sitting down next to her.

"I mean, we were drugged, right?" Clary said trembling.

"The markings on the guy, what did they look like" your mom asked.

"Mom, are you even listening? We may have killed two people?!" you said standing up, walking over to your sisters side.

"Girls, did they look like this?" your mom asked as she pulled out an heirloom, when she hovered it over her arm a swirly marking like the ones on the blonde guy appeared. Clary wore a look of horror where as your face was simply one of complete and utter shock. You didn't know what was going on and that was the thing that scared you most in this crazy situation.

"Mom, what the...?" Clary whispered, terrified, next to you.

"Everything you both saw tonight has a meaning and an explanation" your mom made her way towards you "and I have dreaded having this conversation with you since the day you were born". Clary shook her head wanting all of this to go away. For her to wake up and all of this be some bad dream but it didn't. This was real.

"What is going on?" your shaking voice asking the question running in you and Clary's minds

"Are we going insane?" Clary asked.

"No, you're not, but the protections are wearing off, your 18 now and you need to know the truth" she told Clary.

"Protections? Mom what does that even mean? Mom, you...you're scaring the hell out of me and look at Clary, mom I don't...we don't-" You tried to form full sentences but it was like your world was slowly crashing down and you had no anti-virus software.

"I know, that is why I have put this off to the last possible minute" she said trying her best to reassure the two of you. Just then Dot ran in looking out of breath "Jocelyn, look out the window" her tone was more serious than you had ever heard it before "Magnus called to warn us. They found you.". Your mom let go of yours and Clary's hands and quickly made her way to the window to see whatever it was Dot was talking about. When she did she saw men getting out of a cherry red car.

"Dot, it's time" she called over her shoulder before turning and quickly heading for the other side of the room. As she walked she said "okay, listen to me. You two cannot be near me".

"What's happening?" Clary asked. Both of you watching your mom.

"I got a very powerful person angry" she answered

"What did you do?" You said

"I hid something from him and his followers" Your mom said as she grabbed something from the shelf. "Followers? Mom why can't we just call the police?" Clary asked as your mom walked towards the two of you.

"The policeman you need to call is luke" she turned you around and clasped a pendant around your neck. The pendant had two charms one rough one smoothe but you were to caught up to take a closer look. She then turned around Clary who was next to you and clasped something around her neck "Keep this with you and think of me when you where it" she told Clary, it almost sounded like a command.

"Mom this is not the time for more birthday gifts. What the hell is happening?" Clary asked turning, her voice slightly raised. Dot came up behind you "Only if you need it" she said handing your mom a bottle. Your mom grabbed Clary's arm sending a jolt through her and frightening you. "Trust your instincts you're more powerful than you know" she said looking straight at Clary "y/n you will always be loved don't let the chains of memory bind you, you can do anything, i believe in you". Chains of memory? What does that mean? What the hell was going on? What is in that bottle? Those and a thousand more questions flooded your mind, the dam of your sanity threatening to break.

"Dot, open it" your mom said snapping you back to reality she lead the two of you to what was once a room divider but now was a purple smoke screen. "Everything i've done, every mistake i've made was because i love you more than words" she said. It seemed more directed at Clary but she was looking at you to.

"Mom what are you doing?" Clary asked she looked on the verge of tears and you were sure you looked just as bad.

"Luke will explain everything he'll hide you"

"Hide us?" Clary said

"He is the only one that the two of you can trust. Stick together" she said, her voice was strong but she also looked like she wanted break down somehow she didn't.

"Where is Luke now?" She said more forcefully.

"At the police station!"

"At the police station!"

You both half-shouted terrified of what was happening not knowing what could happen next.

"Remember, I love you, both of you" she said as some invisible force started pulling you both into the purple smoke. You were scared, confused, and a mess of other things but you didn't fight it. Maybe you were crazy but you let it pull you as you heard Clary shout for your mom. Everything seemed to slow down for one insane moment then...next thing know you're sitting on the ground with Clary at your side. You took a shaky breath looking around trying to get your bearings and collect your scattered thoughts.

It looks like you thought no that's not possible it couldn't be

You looked around and saw what looked like the inside of...the precinct?
