Three of Us (MalecxOC)

02

This was supposed to be up on Sunday morning, I'm so sorry it's late. I had personal stuff to do and I couldn't finish writing the chapter.

Having Simon drive us in his ugly van was not on my to-do list I would rather portal to the City of Bones to see the Silent Brothers. I wished I could be in my bed sleeping soundly or even eating a large pizza to myself but since Valentine was back I knew that wouldn't be possible. He was hunting Warlocks for some reason and it wouldn't end well for me if he found out I had Shadowhunter blood. 

Hell, my whole life would turn upside down if anyone with me found out I was a Warlock. My whole life I had kept to myself. Besides my occasional outing to Pandemonium for a night of fun, I was always home with Dot working on my magic. My secret was so well kept it would be a matter of time before I was persecuted for being born. 

My life was a mess, my life was one big lie. I wanted to scream out in frustration but I just couldn't. I have to keep my emotions in check or soon my Warlock mark would show. I wasn't talking about my tiger stripes either I was talking about my vibrant purple eyes. When Izzy first saw them she thought they were tattoos and I didn't want to tell her the truth I mean I barely knew her. So I told her they were to blend in when I was at Pandemonium. It was a half-truth at least. 

When Alec tried to ask me why I didn't have runes I froze up. It's not like I didn't want them I was always just worried that I would die from them because I wasn't a full Shadowhunter. So I never attempted to try. I doubted that they would even work on me. I may be able to use a seraph blade but could only mean so much. 

Lately all I had been was one confused mess and if I didn't figure it out soon I would go crazy. I was always so sure about who I was before and now here I was with Shadowhunters helping Clary find her mother and figure out her memories. I was here to help keep Clary safe but even that was a hard job she was so headstrong and stubborn, like her mother.  

Once we reached the City of Bones I couldn't help but go into my own world. I stood near Alec once Clary and Jace entered the tomb. I didn't dare go near it, for fear they would feel my half nature. 

Simon just kept rambling on about everything that has been happening and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the boy. 

"Does he ever shut up?" Alec questioned. I shook my head at him. No, he never did and I was always close to killing him though Clary would never forgive me if I did. 

Izzy then took Simon to his van to listen to music but Alec and I both knew Izzy was just trying to distract him. I decided to take a lap around where we were just to be safe. I felt the presence of multiple Downworlders but I couldn't tell what kind I was about to go report it to Alec when I heard Clary screaming at Izzy for not watching Simon. 

"What happened?" I asked Alec when I came up to the group but before he could reply to me Clary started yelling at me.

"Where were you? You should have been here watching Simon with her! Is that what all you Shadowhunters do is fail?" My temper flared up at her. How dare she?

"Listen here, Clary. Izzy was doing her job. You should have sent Simon home when he first even came to the Institute. He has no place in your new world. I get that you want to know the truth and you want your mother back but right now you need to hold in your emotions it's gotten us nowhere." My voice stern but I was holding back from blowing up at her. Alec could see it and put a hand on my shoulder to calm me. 

As if she didn't even bother to listen to me she started shouting up towards a bridge. We all glanced over and saw Rafael holding Simon. Damn Vampires and there meddling. What the hell would they want?
