"Keep your eyes open." Alec replied, gripping his bow.

Hearing a slight movement, Alec saw the same black figure and shot his arrow.

He missed, knocking over a pot plant. Gritting his teeth at the miss, he managed to see that the figure was in fact a wolf which had escaped both him and Allison.

"Alec, we have a problem." Allison called out.

Alec looked at her and saw what she was looking at which was both Simon and Clary being shoved into a car by two men. The two ran forward in order to stop them but the car had already sped off.

"Dammit!" Allison formed her fists while Alec gripped his hair out of frustration.

He promised Jace that he'd protect Clary. His best friend will be so pissed at him.

It had been almost a half an hour since Clary was taken and Alec paced the room

It had been almost a half an hour since Clary was taken and Alec paced the room. Grabbing the nearest thing next to him which was a drawer, he tossed it at the wall.

"Alec!" Aaliyah yelled at her brother. She has gotten there moments ago after Allison called her. "Throwing things around is not going to help." She said.

The eldest Lightwood continued to pace, ignoring his youngest sister.

"Alec, calm down." Allison grabbed his arm gently.

Suddenly, the door opened and Jace stormed in with Isabelle behind him. He looked around the room and walked up to Alec. "Where is she? Where is Clary?" He asked.

Alec looked at his parabatai, already feeling enough guilt as it is. "She's gone." He answered.

"What do you mean 'gone'?" Isabelle stepped forward looking at her brother.

"She and Simon got arrested when Allison and I were securing the fire escape--" Alec was cut off by Jace.

"The mundane was here?" He gritted his teeth.

"Simon was here too?" Isabelle asked.

"It was an unmarked car. I don't know where they took her." Alec replied.

Jace took a step closer, looking Alec in the eye. "What did you do, Alec?" He asked.

When he got no response, Jace stormed out of the room, Isabelle in tow grabbing the bag off the bed.

"That went better than I expected." Allison let out her breath that she had been holding since Jace entered.

She and Aaliyah followed Jace and Isabelle out, Alec gritting his teeth before catching up.
