Hellooooo!

I really wish City of Ashes had more Malec in it. :/

Anyways, here's the next chapter.

I love all my readers!

------------------------------------------

Alec POV

I march into the Institute, not quite angry, but not quite upset too.

I am saddened because I had to break off the engagement, but that doesn't give him the right to "want some time alone." We are dating!

I almost don't hear Izzy come up behind me, but my Shadowhunter training has made my hearing excellent.

"Alec? I thought you were with Magnus?" It sounds more like a question than a statement.

I whirl around. "Yes, and now I'm going to be sleeping in my old room. Do you have a problem with that?"

"But... wait... Did you and Mags fight?" (A/N: Whenever they call him 'Mags' I think of catching fire *sobs*) Izzy sounds concerned.

"What if we did?" I retort haughtily.

"But you guys are so perf together! You need to go talk to him, Allie!" she whines.

My voice dripped venom. "Screw you Isabelle Lightwood. I'm not your damn gay best friend," I say as I walk away, "AND MY NAME IS ALEC!"

Magnus POV

I slink back to my apartment, wanting to be anywhere but there, but having nowhere else to go. Even the smell of the place reminds me of my darling Nephilim.

Plopping on the couch, I start to cry. How dare he do this to me! We were engaged for about two hours! When two people love each other, they should be able to give everything up for one another!

Chairman Meow jumps onto my lap, but I shove him off, not wanting the comfort. "Go screw a mouse," I tell him. "Yeah, that's right, I know your secrets." I state blandly after he cocks his head.

Suddenly, there is a knock at the door.

Maybe it's an apology from Alec, I think hopefully as I bound toward the door.

To my disappointment, all I find is a note in the ground. It says:

Hello Mister Bane,

In just twenty minutes (three minutes less than it takes you to get to the Institute), I am going to take your darling Alec.

I have been watching from the shadows as the events of the day have unfolded. You people are quite pathetic, I must say. I know all your plans, I have been doing my research. The last three years have not been idle for me.

Now, do as I say, or Mister Lightwood gets a fatal blow to the head. Understood?

What was next completely shocked me. His request is horrible, yet within my limits. But the signature is the worst part.

Surprise,

Sebastian Morgenstern

P.S. Not dead. :) (A/N: Sherlock reference yay)

Clary POV

I crack open the door to Alec's room. "Hey," I say, then walk in. Over the past few years we have gotten more comfortable with each other, but I don't think he has gotten over his first resentment for me.

"What do you want?" he grunts into his pillow. Once he sits up, I see that his eyes are red and puffy, and he looks in complete despair.

I take a deep breath. "First, I heard about the engagement. Congrats!" He cringes at that. "Second, Izzy said that you had a fight with Magnus. And, you don't have a  ring on. So, I presume the wedding planning is off."

"Clary, what the hell do you want?" he asks me tiredly, as if he has the weight if the world on his shoulders.

"Actually, I came here to help, so don't go all pity party on me." I sit down on the bed. "I do know what you're going through. Sort of. I mean, when Jace and I thought we were siblings, I was so afraid of being in love with him, because I knew it was wrong. But in the end, it was okay."

"I see the way you look at Magnus. Obviously you love him, but you look at him like you're afraid to love him, no matter how much you want to. That's the way I used to look at Jace."

"You're afraid of the Clave, and I understand that. But you aren't an anomaly. You are a human being and deserve to be treated with respect."

"Okay, and your point is?" he asks me.

"My point is, you shouldn't care about them. You should care about Magnus first. Then your family, then the Clave. You need to go to him, apologize, and get the wedding back in order. Okay?"

He looks at me pointedly. "You done yet?"

I sigh. "Yep, I'm done." Then I start to walk out of the room.

"Clary?" I turn around to look at Alec. "Thanks."

He just thanked me. Thanked me! My eyebrows lift with surprise, then I smile at him. "You're welcome." And I walk out.

Alec POV

I think about what Clary had to say. Maybe I should go apologize. I mean, he's my soul mate, and I love him, right?

Deciding to go to Magnus, I spring up and walk happily down the stairs. "Bye guys!" I yell out.

I'm halfway there when I feel a hand around my mouth. I taste something sickly sweet. My last thought before the darkness greets me is:

I didn't even bring a seraph blade.

------------------------------------------

So I have this idea.

Shadowhunters meet demigods!

I have shipped Nico and Alec FOREVER and so it'll be after CoLS and just yesss.

I should I do it?

Vote, comment enjoy!♡
