Part two
Adrienne's POV
(Addie)
My eyes fill with tears as I take in my father's form. He has soft blue eyes that have tears brimming them. His hair is almost white in color and short, showing off his jawline. His face holds a small smile, that looks very similar to Annie's. His arms are huge and he looks like he could easily fight off multiple people at one time without even breaking a sweat. Though when his giant arms wrap around my small form, he's as gentle as can be. My eyes snap to the side where another man stands. He has short brown hair, glasses, and dark eyes.
He stands beside us with a smile, unshed twras shining in his eyes. I hug dad tighter and close my eyes, savoring his warmth. "I thought you died! Jocelyn said she killed you and that we should have died with you.." I mumble. His arms tense around me and he pulls back, wiping the tears from my face. "I'm so sorry Adrienne. I should have been there for you and Adriana" his voice cracks as we hold each other tight.
I push away from him and wipe my eyes "what happened? Where are we? How do I get back to Annie? And who's that?" Dad holds his hands up "woah slow down. One question at a time alright?" I nod in agreement. He pulls the older man to us, his arm casually wrapped around him. Are they a thing? My eyes bounce between the two, analyzing their body language. "This is Richard Lovelace, my best friend and um soulmate" dad introduces with red cheeks. My eyes widen but a large grin fills my face and I wave at him. "Nice to meet you! You're awesome by the way, I've read every book about your family! And uh I'm fan-girling sorry" I mumble with scarlet cheeks.
He waves me off with pink cheeks "it's very nice to see you again Adrienne. I am glad someone still reads up on the original Shadowhunter families. I have a couple of personal family journals if you'd like to borrow them?" I nod my head vehemently and he chuckles. Dad smirks at the two of us then clears his throat "okay. Ready to start the story? It's a bit long." I nod my head as he gestures at us to sit on at the small plastic table in the middle of the room. Speaking of rooms, this has got to be a laboratory. My eyes take in the dark grey walls and papers spread across the tables, that are lined with different glasses filled with bright liquids.
The lab
"Well let me start at the beginning, your mother and I-" I cut him off quickly "not my mother. Please just call her Jocelyn.. or bitch." Richard chuckles loudly but tries to cover it with a cough. Dad raises a brow but nods in agreement, a smirk plastered on his face before beginning again "Jocelyn and I met when we were teenagers. We both had big dreams. We both wanted to be the best Shadowhunters; the next generation of warriors, along with a few friends. Luke Graymark, as you already know, then Maryse and Robert Lightwood, and lastly my best friend Richard Lovelace. There was also a couple, closer to me than Jocelyn, named the Herondale's."
My eyes widen at the last couple, as they are a very prominent family in the Shadowhunter community. Well, what's left of them. Most of the family has died out and the future generations were destroyed. Celine and Stephen Herondale were the last couple before they both died, leaving his mother, Imogen Herondale, all alone. As of the Lovelace's they're another prominent family but there are none left. They died out with the circle but of course they were all charged as traitors after the war. Though no one knows why, other than the obvious fact that he was close to Valentine.
"I was closer with Celine. Both Richard and I were soulmates with her but we found out only after she was married" dad mutters, his face dropping. Richard grips his hand tightly and dad sniffles before continuing "her husband, Stephen, was a dick and didn't even love his second wife. He just did it out of duty and because they needed to continue the Herondale line. Especially when we were on the cusp of war with the down-worlders. Around this time, your mother" I give him a glare and he clears his throat "Jocelyn began acting strange. She kept repeating the same thing 'we must prepare for the future'. I thought nothing of it until.." he trails off and runs his head.
Dad takes my hands in his and smiles ruefully "this is where it gets dicey. So let me know if it gets to be too much ok?" I nod my head but grab the edge of my chair in anticipation. He sighs and looks down at his hands "Jocelyn had begun to test herself and me with angel blood. I did not know that she had been doing this for years. Not only was she testing me but also Richard, his daughter Manon, and you two as well. I didn't realize what she was doing or would have stopped her especially when she moved on from Angel blood." My eyes widen and my stomach churns. Are Annie and I more than just Shadowhunters? Is that why our magic is stronger?
"but I found out the hard way when I awoke to her stabbing me with a knife." My jaw drops as he continues with the story. "She kept screaming, 'I won't let you get in my way!' And as I lay dying, she told me what she had planned. She had killed Richard first then killed Celene Herondale. She said you, Annie, and Manon were next. You both around 1 and had shown great abilities already from the testing. But what I didn't know, was that she was pregnant again. And that she planning a war. One that would end everything. She was going to make new Shadowhunters. Ones that could destroy all the down-worlders and possibly the Clave along with it."
A little tear slips from his eye and swipes it away. I quickly grab his hand and squeeze, showing him I am here for him. "And I died. I died without knowing if my girls were safe. I thought I would end up in hell, a very fitting place for someone like me." He shakes his head, reliving memories. "But instead, I was brought to this new world. It was bright and everything seemed to float amongst the clouds. Somewhere called, Olympus. And the rulers, actual Gods and Goddesses, blessed me. They said that their souls were slowly dying and passing into the next generation." My eyes widen at the description of a place both Annie and I have been before.
He continues, not noticing my face "and they said I had a pure heart. They said I was just the beginning but that soon others would join me. They then brought me Richard, who was reborn again just like me. They said all of our girls would eventually join us but we both assumed it would be after you all passed." He hangs his head in shame, wiping a tear from his face. I furrow my brows at him, I'm not dead so why is he emotional? He clears his throat and continues "And they said Richard and I would rule over Olympus as the king of Gods and Goddesses. Along with our girls, the princesses." My mouth fully hangs open now as the dots begin to connect themselves. Oh my gods. I knew it! I knew dad was the good guy!
He sits back up and clears his throat with a smile "we waitied a bit before coming back to this world. I thought Celene would be reborn like us but unfortunately she never was. So when we did leave Olympus, the first place I went was to see my girls. But I was surprised to see Luke playing father to another baby while you girls were mistreated. Manon was no where to be found and we assumed she was left with another family. We also noticed a lot of Clave activity so we had to leave quickly, not wanting to go to jail or worse since Jocelyn used Richard and I as a scape goat. She blamed everything on us so we would be enemy number one." He shakes his head in anger. Richard pats his leg in sympathy and dad intertwines their fingers.
"You see, Jocelyn had created a group called the Cirlce which had a few prominent families and friends that I mentioned before. It was going against the Clave and all their rules, so they sought out to destroy it. Especially when rumors ran about testing with Angel and demon blood. But Jocelyn killed Richard, Celene, and I one night and then blamed everything on us. Which was fairly easy to do. We were dead, how could we fight it? She walked off free and we were damned to the shadows. I eventually made my way here along with Richard. His daughter, Manon, is like you two. Though we still haven't found her. Jocelyn ran tests on the three of you mostly.." he trails off.
He scratches the back of his neck and avoids eye contact. "What do you mean, like us? We are just Shadowhunters. And why can't you find Manon?" Dad sighs and tucks a hair behind my ear. "I'm sorry for this" he whispers before placing his finger on my forehead and a bright light engulfs me. Images, memories, people, emotions, all run through me at once. My eyes flit back and forth as so much knowledge and memories are forced into my head.
My mind clouds as it registers what just happened but then it's clear. Crystal clear. A hot fire burns deep in my chest and begins to bubble up. Years and years or rage begins to seep into my very core and as it burns, nothing else is left but pure unfiltered hate. My mind burns the images before me and online thing is left on my mind, revenge.
"Jocelyn killed all three of us!"
After a long conversation with dad and Richard, we all decided that I needed to go back to help Annie and Manon, if I can find her. And help Clary too, I guess. Though dad didn't seem as worried about Clary. Honestly makes me wonder if she's even his. So eventually dad opens a portal but not before placing his and Richard's number in my phone and giving me two matching necklaces for Annie, and I. He also gives me a third necklace for Manon if we find her. All three are magic and can track our every movement, plus if we get hurt it'll alert them.
Their Necklaces
(Addie has red, Annie has purple, and Manon has black)
My eyes brim with tears as I hug him one more time "I love you sweetheart. You and Annie both. And remember to find Manon" he whispers, his voice cracking at the end. Richard pulls him into a hug as I pass through the multicolored portal. I wave bye to him and he grins back, holding dad close. I clear my head and focus on Annie. Soon my feet land on hard ground once again.
My eyes take in the dark room that has machines everywhere until it clicks that I'm in an infirmary, with two bodies sleeping in the row beds. One is Clary while the other is Annie. I quickly run to Annie's bed to asses her injuries but stop when realize she is just asleep. My magic connects with hers easily and I sigh, relieved. A deep voice calls out from behind, scaring me and I slip my dagger out immediately flinging it towards the voice. The metal whips by the black haired male and lands in the wall, barely missing his ear.
My eyes widen and my cheeks turn red "oh I am so sorry. I thought you were Jocelyn or something.." The male narrows his eyes at me, carefully watching my every move. "Hey wait! You're the guy that saved me at Pandemonium! Where are we? And what happened to my twin?" I fire off questions and he shakes his head. But before he can say anything else, I finally lock eyes with him. Chocolate brown clashes with ice blue and I gasp at the bond that forms. Three soulmates in one day? Sheesh.
He slowly drops his arms and the glare on his face, approaching me slowly. "Alec! Hey that's our soulmate! Adrienne!" Jace yells from the door and runs towards me with a black haired girl behind him. Alec backs up, cheeks red and throws his arms round Jace. The girl has rich black hair and dark brown eyes, to simply put it, she's gorgeous. That's when I realize she looks strikingly similar to Alec. They have to be siblings.
Jace hugs Alec then reaches my side and immediately pulls me in for a hug. I reciprocate the action but quickly step back. Alec just stays glued to Jace, not getting any closer. "Can someone please tell me what happened to my sister? I was stuck in a portal for hours and then I just popped up here" I fib a bit, making sure dad stays hidden and safe. Alec and Jace begin speaking over each other but that starts a fight between the two so the girl slaps the back of their heads with a smile.
She extends her hand to me "hi I'm Isabelle but call my Izzy and that's my brother Alec and adopted brother Jace. They're soulmates to each other and you now. I am the soulmate to your twin, Annie. She is fine, as is Clary. They both just got into a scuffle with a demon but should be waking up soon. Though Clary did get bitten and we had to-" I cut her off by waving my hand "I don't care about Clary. Let the little bitch rot for all I care" I mumble.
Alec and Jace both snort while Izzy tries to hide her smile. "I'm going to like you!" She whispers and I send her a wide smile in return. "Also, you can just call me Addie, easier than getting Annie and I mixed up with our normal names" I add. Jace turns his head confused "normal names?" My lips press into a flat line and I huff "my name is Adrienne and Annie's name is Adriana. Hence the reason we get confused so easily." They nod, understanding but I see the sympathy in their eyes.
I quickly turn my attention back to the beds as the sheets move and pray that Clary doesn't wake. Please tell me it's Annie that's awake and that Clary is actually dead. The others snicker behind me and I pretend to cover my mouth as I turn towards them "oops, did I say that out loud?" I turn back around to see both girls sitting up, one staring daggers at me while the others is filled with tears. I quickly pull Annie into my arms and cry "oh I thought I lost you!" Clary huffs beside us "um what about me? Younger sister here?"
I send her a 'what the fuck' look before focusing on Annie again. "Are you okay? We need to go home and talk" Annie shakes her head no though. "The house was destroyed with the fire.." she whispers. My eyes glue to my hands, as guilt eats away at me. I caused the house fire. It wasn't your fault. Jocelyn is the reason it burned down. Annie's voice rings through my mind.
Jace steps forward with a smile "you can stay here as long as you need. You are all Shadowhunters right?" Alec narrows his eyes again but only at Clary and I shrug "yeah. Clary should be too but Jocelyn hid the Shadowhunter lifestyle away from her. Hell, she thinks her stele is a fucking paperweight." The others snort as Clary's face turns a dark red. "We need to find our mother! She's missing and Valentine took her!" She screams.
My eyes widen at the information and I shoot off a quick update to dad on my phone, pretending that I'm pulling something up for Annie. Annie watches over my shoulder, eyes glued to the screen. I cut my eyes towards her and speak in her mind. Dad is alive Annie. Go through my memories, you'll see. I feel her weed through my brain until the exact moment pops up like a television screen but in our minds. Annie grips my hand as she watches while I distract the others. "Yeah right. Jocelyn probably kidnapped herself with the help of Dot. What we need to be looking for is the cup" I state. Clary turns as red as her hair and is about to yell back at me but Alec cuts her off "like the cup? The one that's been missing since Valentine ran off and died?"
I grind my teeth together while Annie holds my hand, now caught up on everything. "And who says that Valentine was the leader of the Circle? Couldn't it have been Jocelyn? Look. I know she had it. And I know where she left it too." They all look my way but a ringtone cuts me off.
Clary quickly takes the phone call "Simon! What? No I'm okay" she chatters away. "Wait. You're here? Good! Let me change and you can drive us home. We have to save my mother" she sneers towards us. She then hangs up and looks around for her clothes. "Um where the hell are my clothes? And what are these? There's no way I'm wearing something like that!" She complains at the black Shadowhunter clothes that lay on the end of her bed.
Izzy looks sad but quickly smiles when Annie grabs the clothes on her bed with a smile and a thank you. Then their eyes lock and Annie lets out a nervous breath. They are so fucking cute. Shut up! Both girls cheeks stain a dark red and I smile, happy that Annie finally gets someone else in her corner. "Well aren't you absolutely gorgeous" Izzy purrs and Annie all but hides behind me.
"Sorry she's a bit shy at first and doesn't speak much. But that's my fault as I am losing my hearing so we use ASL or telepathy." The three look at me as if I've grown a second head. "Wait can't all Shadowhunters do that?" I ask. They shake their heads no and my cheeks burn with embarrassment. Alec steps forward, his eyes narrowed on me and Annie "so where is the cup?" I shake my head "oh yeah!"
"Who's ready for a field trip?"
