FEVER • Shadowhunters

F O U R

Rocking her body gently as she held her now clean and sleeping baby boy she was content for the time. She was in the infirmary and Xavier was beginning to fuss. She shushed him and began to him while rocking rhythmically.

"Knock knock." Izzy knocked gently on the doorframe and Scarlett tilted her head up and smiled and motioned her in.

"Hi! Come in please." Izzy walked cautiously up to the bed and smiled down at Xavier. "He's got your cheeks and nose Scar." Izzy gently touched the baby's face before holding out her arms.

"May I?"

Scarlett gently moved her son into the arms of Izzy and Xavier made little fuss before opening his eyes and staring up at Izzy.

"Hi little one. I'm your aunt Izzy." Izzy gently grabbed his little hand and shook it softly as he grasped onto her. Scarlett watched happily before she kicked the blanket off and went to stand up. She had to pee and she was still tender from pushing the child out of her goody bits but she was happy.

Scarlett took notice of the bandage on Izzy's shoulder and furrowed her brows. "Iz, what happened? Why aren't you using an iratze?"

"Oh," Izzy soothingly began to pat Xaviers bottom. "I ended up getting possessed and attacking the others. Clary had to stab me, since it was with a seraph blade it won't heal with an iratze." Izzy seemingly failed to let Scarlett know about Jace getting obtained and heading to the City of Bones.

"I'm just using the washroom. If it becomes to much just set him in the cot." Scarlett gently rubbed Izzy's arm before smiling softly down at her son before heading to the washroom.

"Oh Xavier. You're in such a cruel world at such a horrible time." Izzy continued to soothe the baby as he stared up at Izzy. His blue eyes blinked before they began to glow. He grabbed ahold of Izzy's finger.

"Mom!" A young boy who had blonde curly hair stood in a field screaming at who was now seen as his mother. Scarlett. She was fighting a man with dark hair and light eyes. He was covered in runes and had a particularly striking one on the right of his chest.  It wasn't like a rune, more like a carving yet it acted the same way a rune would.

Clary off the side, getting hit by nothing but feeling all the same pain the mystery man was feeling.

As Scarlett swung her dagger and caused a deep cut to appear on the mans cheek, it also appeared on Clary's. Xavier watched as one of his caretakers was getting hurt and he ran to Clary's aid before turning to take a look at his mom who got caught off guard and the man took the dagger from her. She fought him off hard enough before he got her to the ground and she couldn't move quick enough to avoid his demon speed to slam the dagger into her ribs.

"Not so powerful now huh angel?" He sneered as he twisted it. Xavier froze before his eyes widened and he took a step forward. His eyes began to glow a vibrant blue and he let out an angered scream which caused the mystery man to look up and his eyes widen at the small child.

Xavier first turned to Clary and waved a hand  and she felt a harsh burning pain on her chest where the odd mark that matched the mysterious mans rune began to burn and dissolve he then turned to the man and took steps forward to the man.

He turned to run away from Xavier but a blue electrical chain wrapped around him, pinning his arms to his waist, and forcing his ankles together. He collapsed to the ground before Xavier snapped out of the trance like state and ran to his mom.

Scarlett was crying as her hands floated around the wound, and blade sticking out of her. Her body was shaking from the pain and crying so it became even harder to breathe with the dagger puncturing her lung as well.
