Chapter 2

Isabelle Lightwood did not get angry. She has had many centuries to get her temper under control, the last time she had lost control of her emotions and magic it had not turned out well for anyone involved. So no she did not get angry, but when the news of Alec's capture at Valentine's hands reached her, she got furious.

Her big brother who had turned his back on everything he knew and willingly turned into a vampire to be able to stay at her side for forever. Her big brother had been taken by one of the most sadistic, insane Shadowhunters in their history so far. Isabelle was a hurricane of fury and magic as she blasted her way through the warehouse she had tracked her big brother too. It was warded and by water, but she and Alec shared blood, all but shared a soul and nothing petty as water and weak wards would stop her from getting her brother back.

Red magic mixed with arches of lightning that was currently emitting from her body, turning everything they touched to ash as she walked through the warehouse in her highest heels and her most skintight dress. She was dressed to kill and her magic responded to that. Her Warlock mark hissed and spit from where it had emerged from her back where she had glamoured the large snake into a tattoo for when she ventured out into the mundane world. It was an odd mark even for a Warlock, but she adored the snake that was apart of her and it adored her.

Isabelle snapped her fingers and the locator spell she had trained on her big brother twisted and formed into a glowing ball of light. She followed it as it led her towards where Alec was being held in the bowels of the warehouse.

"Get away from him!" Isabelle snarled when she caught sight of a blond in black leathers and covered in Runes in the same cage the slumped form of her big brother was in.

"Izzy wait!" Alec shouted, his words causing a large ball of pure power to stop inches away from the blond Shadowhunter's face. Isabelle's fingers twitched and her mark hissed at the sudden stop of power.

"Why should I?" Isabelle snapped, her anger mounting at seeing the numerous burns and blood that stained her big brother's body when he staggered to his feet.

"This is Jace, he's Valentine's son but he is treated worse than a prisoner. He helped me, he allowed me to feed on him so I could make sure we both got out of here. Please Iz, we have to take him with us." Alec explained as he helped the blond to his feet. Jace was swaying unsteadily on his feet and he had a large, sluggishly bleeding bite mark on his neck obviously from Alec who still had blood on his lips.

Isabelle watched as the two leaned against each other, not even noticing they were doing it and her magic twisted around the Shadowhunter and came back purring in contentment in the same way it did whenever it twisted around Alec.

"He can come, I would not leave even my worst enemy to Valentine's tender mercies." Isabelle decided and waved her hands around to form a portal that would bring the three of them to her and Alec's townhouse.

"Hold on blondie," Alec smirked and easily scooped the smaller man up into his arms before flitting through the portal. Isabelle laughed as she heard Jace shouting in general and at Alec as they sped past her. She petted her mark's head as her magic flared and fires and explosions spread throughout the warehouse. They would not stop until this building and those that worked with Valentine were burnt to a crisp. The Downworlder's he had captured would be able to walk away free and unharmed as she had used a very particular spell for this attack.

"Blondie, oh big brother must like him if he's giving him a cute nickname already." Isabelle mused thoughtfully as she stepped through her portal as well and out into the living room of her and Alec's home.

Isabelle rolled her shoulders and closed her eyes as her mark wiggled it's way back under her skin, leaving a scaled tattoo in its wake as she moved toward the kitchen where she could hear their voices.

"Thank you, for saving me. For taking me away from him just like you said you would." Jace was saying to Alec who was shoving some juice and a sandwich in his hands.

"Consider us even, you saved me first." Alec reminded the blond who just ducked his head as he quietly bit into his sandwich. Isabelle smiled at the sight of Alec taking care of Jace and Jace allowing it.

Besides she knew her brother, the two of them would be heading back out into the city once Jace was tucked up safe in a well-warded bedroom to get some obviously needed sleep. She and Alec were going to release their combined powers on the Circle and Isabelle knew her brother would not stop until he could present the blond Valentine's head on a platter. Alec would consider it a courting gift, he was old fashioned that way and somehow Isabelle knew Jace would accept and adore it as much as he would accept and adore her big brother.

She knew now that he was going to be staying with them and her magic hummed pleased at the idea and she found herself relaxing, knowing certain things in the world were always meant to be and the three of them must be meant to be and who was she to tamper with that? Especially since it made her brother look so happy.
