1 Chapter 1 - Alec

Great. That was just what I needed. I sighed, and rolled over and out of bed. I knew that my phone was ringing somewhere, but I couldn't remember where I'd put it. And it was probably important too. Excellent. I picked myself up off of the floor and walked over to the table. Nope, not there. I left the room, shuffling over to the living room. Sofa? Nope. I went into the kitchen and picked up the phone off of the cooling marble countertop to hear Clary urgently speaking but too hushed for me to hear. "Hello?", I said slowly. "Alec? Alec, are you there?", she spoke. Clary sounded worried. Then again, Clary always sounded worried . I rubbed my eyes sleepily "Yes Clary, I'm here, what's the panic?" I said, more awake now, as the morning light slipped in between the curtains. "Oh good, you're awake. Listen, me, Izzy and Jace are going out on patrol, there's been an alert near Luke's house. Some mundanes have been injured, though nothing too serious as yet. Please hurry, we'll meet you at the institute." And with that, she hung up. I was wide awake now, and with haste I grabbed my stele and gave myself three runes. Strength, for fighting. An Iratze, to hopefully cure the banging headache seeping it's way into my skull, and finally, Endurance, because I'm going to need all the stamina I can get. Because, you see, I know why those mundanes are injured. And I know who did it. Because I.... I helped them.
