We arrived at an old, and almost rustic church. I took me a few seconds to peel back what seems to be a glamour.
It was then an incredibly modern institution, and I would've spent longer staring in awe, till I was pulled inside.
"Upstairs now!", Alec said. We rushed into an elevator, and then it got stuck.
"It seems to me, that we'll be in here. For a while", he said.
"Listen all those things that you have seen, for all those years your mundane parents and those what do you call them, therapists told you were a figment of your imagination are true. The shadow world is very real, werewolves, vampires. I'm a shadowhunter, and so are you. We kill demons", he said.
I started to hyperventilate. I hated tight spaces, and this was too much. I couldn't breath. I was dying. My throat was closing up, I was struggling, and I...
I was fine. Alec held me, and comforted me. He told me I'd be fine, that I wasn't alone.
I wasn't alone. I was fine. I wasn't alone.
"It's alright", he said. And it was alright.
The lift suddenly moved, and I awkwardly pulled away.
The doors opened. And on cue, chaos revelled. That seemed to be a theme whenever I was around.
—————————————————
The place was trashed. Is obviously hadn't ever been to the institute before, but it looked damaged beyond repair. And desolate. Very desolate.
Drops. Droplets of blood. A crimson red handprint on the bleached white walls.
And a gasping Jace, trying to catch his breath.
He looked angry. His eyes accusatory, and full of unbridled rage. His fists suddenly clenched. His breathing shallow.
"Why am I here?", I asked.
Jace started laughing menacingly.
"As if you don't know who's behind this mess?", he said incredulously.
I was panicking again. Internally panicking. I had nothing to do with thsi, and I had no clue as to what was going on.
"What's with all the blood everywhere?", I asked.
"They took Isabelle", Jace said.
Alec stilled. He suddenly approached me. Eyes widened, and as furious as Jace.
"It's all your fault", he accused.
It was my fault? Did I do this? Maybe I did? I mean maybe I panicked and provoked a horde of demons to attack people I didn't even know that well.
"Get over yourself. You're in shock", I said calmly.
"Who took Isabelle?", I asked.
