Chapter Text
-It’s just…Magnus had no idea, no clue…
-You mean he didn’t know what he was doing?-Alec shruged with defeat at her words and sank into a black armchair, rested his head in his hands and his elbows on his knees. His shoulders where slumped, the instant his hair fell forward Isabelle notices a rune. This might not seem odd but this wasn’t one she had never seen before nor was it a mundane tattoo. It was a parfait rune.
-He thought he was providing healing potions and shit, which I thought at first too.-Her brother looked dead serious now-but the fact that you call it healing potion doesn’t make it paracetamol. It is what it is, and it wasn’t paracetamol. And she knew that.
-Who knew?
-See, that’s where it gets tricky, I can’t tell you , because if I do I make you part of this and you are not. You can't be.
-We took down Valentine and his demon army, we defeated Sebastian, we went to hell and came back, heck, Jace even died and then came cack, and Simon turned into a rat, too, if that counts. I don’t think there’s anything worse. Or anyone for that matter.
-And she isn’t, not for you, not for Obama, not for the Clave. She doesn't want to burn down the world, nor does she want to rise hell. I have no idea what her plan is or what is supposed to come from this mess but right now she want Magnus and she ain’t getting that.
-Then tell me, we’ll help you-She was getting frustrated-And what the hell is a Vespa?
-Not what, who. She got herself killed and came back from the dead for revenge. She was too weak at the time to do much damage, but you must understand once you come back from the dead the doors are open. It’s like when you get on the Subway. The you open the doors and walk in, but you have no idea who is walking in behind you. Through the doors you opened. You can’t control that and poor Vespa had no idea what she was doing.
-What happened?-Alec gave a short laugh and shook his head, after he didn’t say anything for a while and it became clear he considered the conversation over with, Izzy flipped out.
-Damn it Alec! I want to help you, I want to protect you.-She could see him closing up, again.
-And that's great. Your intentions are good, but then again, that’s all they are. Yours…—Izzy got the feeling he hd said this before, or someone had said it to him? He stood up, his shoulders rolled back, his chin went up, his eyes closed for about 10 seconds and when he opened them he was gone. Not physically, but emotionally he was 1000 miles away. It was like this movie called Super 8 when the alien opened its eyes at the end, only this was the other way round. Alec closed his eyes to her world, because in the end we don’t live in the same world. You can’t feel what someone else is going through, what they are thinking, feeling, why they do something. We will never fully understand others, just ourselves. In the end we share a planet, but not a world. And right now, she didn’t feel Alec’s world leave, but she felt Alec leave her planet.
