Chapter Text
Isabelle goes over what she's gonna say in her head, not wanting to waste anymore time than they already have together. So gathering her overflowing confidence she turns to clary. "I don't think we should waste anymore time than we already have" she says taking clary's hands into her own and looking into her eyes. A brief look of confusion showed on clary's face before an understanding smile cane to her face.
"No I don't think we should" clary replies, with a beaming smile .
"Waste more time on what?", Alec says confusion on his face. They all look at her and clary expectantly. With a deep breath, We're becoming Parabatai" Izzy states.
Izzy is confused as her words are met with silence, she looks up at her older brothers face to see his expression morph from surprise to utter joy. she turns to her other brothers face and sees a wide genuine smile, one that she hasn't witnessed in up to a year spread across his face like a crescent moon.
"That's awesome you guys", Simon says with a grin as he lunges at clary and Izzy tackling them in a much expected bear hug. A loud laugh escaping clary's lips as she hugs the young man that has been her brother since they were five. "that's amazing you two", Jace says " but when did you two decide this". he finishes with a slight look of confusion on his features.
they must not be parabatai yet but izzy felt clary's demeanor change. izzy reached over and gave her hand a light squeeze. clary looked at the others, her face full of guilt. "it- it was before, my mum was sent to warn me about using my abilities", clary says her tone breaking " i'm so so sorry for not telling you guys what could have happened if i used my rune abilities one more time" she stated with her eyes glistening
with tears. jace walks over to clary wrapping his arms around her shoulders, magnus looking into clary eyes with a solemn but comforting expression on his face.
"but i could not just live my last hours with you guys in pain with you guys knowing we had limited time together", she continues with a breaking voice but a steady tone, looking down fidgeting with her colorful skirt. "Clary, look at me", magnus says as clary looks up into his eyes. "we all would have done the same" he continues, " no one wants to grasp the fact that they could loose someone in a few hours, we understand what you had to do". he holds her gaze. "we dont hold that against you, so do not hold that against yourself".
Izzy looks at her long lost bestfriend feeling pain an anger towards her angels, for punishing a savior knowing that if clary hadn't done what she had done, both the Down world, the Shadow world and the Mundane world would be lost to an endless apocalypse of death, loss, pain and destruction. All in the name of Johnathan Morgenstern, the corrupted son of a bastard. She looked at her soon to be parabatai, knowing that no one was ever gonna snatch her or the rest of her loved ones from her ever again. Her angels be damned. She gives clary's hand a reassuring squeeze needing words to do the trick too
"Magnus is right clary, she says with a light smile grazing her red stained lips. " never hold that against yourself" she continues, "all that matters is that your here now and that's not gonna change. she finishes feeling determination steady in her veins.
"Yeah Fray we're not getting rid of you just yet" Alec states with a small smile. "Hey, thats my nickname", simon states with a whine still standing between clary and izzy. Clary chuckles and soon after all six of them are laughing holding their sides tight. Izzy knows the joke wasn't that funny but at this moment the just needed a way to release themselves of the built up tension, and it worked.
"So! clary starts, 'Has anyone seen my dad recently' She says with a Cheshire grin, " i have a strong feeling he'll be really happy to see me".
