Having been missing for almost a decade, Lilianna Fray doesn't realise her significance to the shadow world. But then again who does? People remember her but people don't know who she truly is. After being separated from her parabatai for almost a d...
Izzy, Alec and I stayed in Izzy's "cell" room whilst attempting to think of plans to get her out of this stupid trial.
"All I know is, we gotta get you out of here." Alec stated before turning to us and asking, "All right, who do we know in Idris?"
"The only people who care are Mom and Dad." Izzy sighed, giving up hope. "But they're under suspicion themselves."
"Uh, what about Lydia?" Alec piped up confidently.

"Lydia?" Izzy asked in disbelief.
"Yeah." Alec said in his 'duh' voice. I kept quiet, hoping they'd hash out all their anger so that we could finally get some actual planning done.
"Why do you keep going there? She is prosecuting me. You said she had no choice." Izzy said angrily.
"She doesn't." Alec quickly defended her.
"Everyone has a choice, Alec." Izzy said, standing up. "I made mine. Let me just get through this without losing my self-respect."
Okay, even I have stuff to be angry about... Can't really deny it.I nodded in agreement with her before saying, "Let's not forget the drugged wine she gave me!"
Alec tried to defend her even more and said, "Look, I know you don't want to believe this, but Lydia said she would help if we can give her a way to do it. Maybe I can get her to delay the trial. And bedsides we don't even know that she was the one that drugged you."
We both scoffed and spoke at the same time, her saying, "Why? So I can sit here, playing computer solitaire, while they find something else to blame me for? I'm just a scapegoat to the Clave. They want the Cup." whilst I said, "Alec, she was the one that gave me the drink in the first place! She didn't stop insisting until I took a drink from the bloody cup and even after that, she ordered me around afterwards... You know that I hate not being in control of my actions."
"So let me buy some time to find it. And Allie, we'll find the answers to your questions later. We'll deal with them together as a family later." He paused, taking a deep breath before cautiously glancing at me before tentatively saying,"Hey, Jace and Clary..."
"Disappeared through a door to God knows where. Allie said they're lost forever. And so is the Cup." Izzy said despondently as she sat back down on the couch.
"What if I was wrong? I can't find Jace because I weakened our bond," I said hesitantly, flinching slightly at his name, "...but that doesn't mean he can't be found, or that he can't find us. We need more time. And plus..." I added slightly, nudging her softly, "I still have a bond with the cup, I'll be able to locate it eventually..."
"You're grasping at straws now?" she sighed at us. Alec and I gave each other a knowing look before we knelt on either side of her as Alec said, "Izzy, listen. I'm your big brother. And Allie's practically become our little sister. Please, let us help you for once!"
