"Don't be so quick to judge me. After all, you only see what I choose to show you"
And with Valentine growing havoc across the Shadow world, Izzy and Alec weren't the only Lightwood siblings that seemed to have a relationship forbidden by the clave...
Sweat dripped between their bodies as the older woman continued to corner the younger
Again
And again
And again...
Until she fell to the ground with a loud crack as her bone broke under pressure.
Sighing heavily in frustration, the older female passed a hand through her long mass of hair, the sweat turning dark brown an almost black color as she kneeled down beside the child while softly placing her hand on her ankle.
Green watery eyes avoided her sharp grey ones, they had been through that many times before, while their positions were supposedly of queen and servant according to the hierarchy, the little queen couldn't help but look up to her guardian.
Morgana would have been dead for causing pain for the queen if not for her high rank in their reign after raising the princess like a little sister when tragedies stuck up.
In the seelie court, no one dared to look down at Morgana, if not by respect, because they feared her too much.
She was the best warrior they had ever seen and, subsequently, the personal bodyguard of Amara.
"Does it hurt?" Her voice was almost a whisper, calm as ever, the slightest hint of her forgotten accent showing as she passed more and more time with the new society.
"Don't mind me, I'll just lay here in the ground and have another existential crisis" Amara grumbled with a pout, watching curiously the black roots of magic expanding from her protector's hand and curing her wound.
Morgana's twin daggers suddenly flew towards the wall behind her, her eyes moving from the queen's wounded leg for a second as her free hand sent the poisoned weapons in incredible speed towards the intruders before they refocused on the wound.
The young queen yelped at the quick movement, her eyes wide and hands spreading apart, ready to knock out whoever had invaded their home with her magic, before she noticed another set of twin daggers stopping Morgana's mid air.
"Dramatic entrance, check"
The familiar voice made a grin spread on the queen's face as the older woman tilted her head back, her lips curling into a subtle smile.
"A rúnsearc, Belle" (A rúnsearc means secret love in Irish)
The twins immediately grinned at the brunette's words, waiting patiently by the side of the ring as she finished treating Amara and started to walk out with the little queen guilty trapping her in a piggyback.
As the girls neared the twins, Izzy couldn't help but involve them in a suffocating hug, receiving a giggle from Amara as Morgana groaned jokingly.
"What did you two do?" Amara questioned the twins with a mischievous smirk, Morgana mimicking her expression while raising an eyebrow at them as they walked towards the main room.
"Why do you think we did something?" Nate questioned with a frown, looking at his twin who was turning pink and laughing at the question.
"Because you usually sneak in when you want to see Big Sis even though you're allowed" The queen answered while flashing him a cheeky smile as the older woman continued.
"And you two don't come here on the same day to not raise suspicion in the institute, so you two must have done something" shrugging at his look of betrayal, Morgana shot him a wink and lowered the queen to the bed.
"How did she- how do you know I sneak in?" Cheeks red in embarrassment for getting caught by a supposedly child, the little queen couldn't help but wiggle her fingers while sparking her light magic at him.
"If I told you, I'd have to kill you" Amara whispered playfully, before wincing as she corrected herself "I wouldn't, obviously, but I won't tell you"
"Bad child, Mora, I think we should ground her" Crossing his arms in front of his chest, Nate puffed his chest out and stood taller, before his serious face turned into a childish grin and he messed with the girl's hair.
"How are you, kiddo? It's been a while, huh?"
Amara wrapped her arms around his waist in a brotherly hug and smiled at him, before she responded.
"All good, occasionally being tortured by big sis, but everything in one peace I think"
"Oh poor little queen, has Mora been hard on you?" Izzy questioned while laying on Morgana's bed, with her head on said woman's lap as the huntress played with her long jack black curls.
"Awful! I swear sometimes I think she's a spy of Valentine!" Amara answered playfully, dramatically falling back on the bed with a grin as Morgana gave her an unamused look.
"I'm feeling so attacked right now, boyo"
The queen giggled softly, before she looked at the twins, who had unexpectedly tensed up after that sentence.
"Oh..." Amara started while looking between the mute siblings in understanding.
"You didn't just get into a problem, you got THE problem" the huntress concluded with a humm, her eyes meeting Nathaniel's sheepish ones as he stroke the back of his neck while rocking on his feet.
"Maybe?" The twins answered simultaneously.
"I don't see how we can help" Morgana's voice cut the silence before Amara could even think about it, the little queen was looking at her with wide eyes, not understanding why she had grown cold with them like that.
Her forest green eyes quickly went to the twins, noticing how Izzy seemed hurt while Nate kept a glaring contest with his girlfriend.
"Hey Bels, why don't you come with me? I've baked cookies!" Amara whispered softly while tugging on Izzy's leather jacket, making the brunette snap out of the conversation as they left the couple to decide what was about to go down.
Before leaving the room, Amara linked her pinky with Morgana's, something that went unnoticed by the others, but made the huntress clench her jaw.
They had an agreement, whatever it was, if Amara linked their pinky fingers, she would give authorization for Morgana to do whatever she wished to do, even if it was law on any other day for the seelies.
With a mischievous grin and waving fingers, the queen skipped out of the room with Izzy, knowing that Morgana would possibly kill her for granting such freedom when it came to a possible war.
But while the huntress would do anything in her powers to protect her boyfriend and his loved ones, she wasn't that keen on doing the same for the Clave, they had never tried to protected her people, so why should they grant them the opportunity that had never been given to them?
With no laws binding her body, would she give them even more power or would she risk losing her small new family in order to protect her people?
