"The Angel's Inside of me..." a Alec Lightwood Fanfic (Book 2)

"Unknown Figure..." Chapter 7

Alissa's PoV
I woke up and gasped loudly as I spotted a dark figure standing in front of my bed. Scared, I quickly moved to turn my lamp on but when I looked back up they were gone. Maybe I was just dreaming. I sighed as I ran a hand though my hair, What is happening to me.

"Hey, are you alright?" I heard a voice say as my bedroom door opened to reveal Alec standing by the doorframe "Is Izzy here?"

"Uh... no she went to go meet Clary. And that's where I need to be. Bye!" I quickly jumped off my bed throwing my coat on and went to run out the door but Alec grabbed my arm, stopping me.

"Alissa, talk to me. You look like you've just seen a ghost." Alec sighed as I watched his eyes glance down at the dark circles under my eyes.

"I will I promise but I..." I stopped speaking as I noticed in one of Alec's hands was a small piece of jet black hair in a small see-though bag. "Alec... What is that?"

"I went to see Magnus, I Uh... I needed a piece of his hair." He answered calmly as my eyes widened in disbelief and I grabbed the bag harshly out of his hands.

"You did what! You really wanted to check if Magnus was actually doing all of this. You actually had second thoughts that he would really do this, to our people?" Alec flinched as my tone of voice raised slightly.

"Alissa, of course I trust hi..."
"Then there was no need to do this, and don't you dare say it was the order of the Clave." I scowled, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Shadowhunters are being slaughtered, Alissa. I only asked him for a strand of his hair. Stop being overdramatic, like you do most of the time!" He scoffed and I looked at him hatefully, I can't believe he just said that. I watched his eyes soften once he realised what he just said.

"Get out." Is all i said to him, throwing the small bag of hair at his chest while avoiding any eye contact.

"Ali, I'm sorry..."
"GET OUT. I don't want to see you." I shouted as the walls and floor started to shake. He look around fearfully, looking down at my shaking hands before he walked out the room and slammed the door behind him...

An hour later...
I walked quickly though the alleyways of New York on my way to meet Clary at Simon's. Not the best idea right now as lots of Shadowhunters are being killed.  But I need to get there quickly, I am pulled suddenly out of my thoughts as my phone rang.

"Hello, Clary." I sighed as I answered the phone.

"Alissa, where are you?" She asked as I looked around at my surroundings.

"I'm only like 20 minutes away, why?" I asked confused, my head spinning around when I heard a trash can falling over close behind me.

"It's just I cant believe I let you convince Simon and I to let you walk here alone. I could still get Simon to vamp speed to you now? You know Alec wouldn't want you walking though these alleyways by yourself. It's too dangerous." I winced slightly as she mentioned Alec's name.

"I'm fine, I'll be there in like 20 minutes..." I gasped as something was shot into the back of my right leg and I was thrown harshly over a brick wall. Groaning in pain, I slowly sat up to see the same dark figure from before stood directly above me.

"Alissa, Hello? Alissa?" Clary's voice shouted though the phone as my vision blurred. I really hit my head hard on the floor.

"Oh hell no I'm not dying like this" I groaned, kicking my leg up to push the person away as they brought down a sword. I gasped in surprise suddenly forming a shield, watching in amazement as the figure flew back slightly. I tried to pull my blade out but my vision caused me to fall back to the ground.
