Not by Blood - BEING REWRITTEN IN SEPARATE STORY

EDITED 5/30/2020

"Sarah." The woman practically growled. "I need to get to Sarah." She was clawing at the containment chamber door.

"Whatever dark force you are, we will release you to your realm unharmed just tell us who helped possess this mundane." Alec demanded, standing outside the glass that lined one wall of the chamber.

"Take me to Sarah!" The woman yelled.

"Who is the Owl Demon?" He tried again.

"Sarah!" The woman practically flew across the room, banging her hands against the glass as they made contact, glaring up at Alec as he flinched away from the glass.

"Any luck?" Izzy asked as she came off of the elevator and started walking towards the chamber and Alec.

"There's no breaking through." Alec huffed in defeat. "What've you got?"

"Sarah is her twin sister." Izzy informed him. "They share an apartment in Queens. If the Owl's M.O. is consistent with his previous victims, Morgan is being driven to kill someone she loves."

"She's the eleventh mundane this week." Alec told her, looking back at Morgan.

"The Owl is busy and unique." Izzy put her hands on her hips and moved closer to the glass. "In a typical possession the body cells wouldn't be affected."

"But Morgan's are?" Alec asked, wishing he were anywhere but here. It was not even eight in the morning, he'd slipped out of bed without waking Magnus at five in the morning. His mother would be heading over to his loft at ten to do some wedding planning and as much as he wished he could be there for that, he had to deal with this instead. It made him wonder if he'd really be able to make it to their wedding tomorrow.

"Her cells are no longer mundane." Izzy confirmed. "They're demonic."

"So there's no way we can save her?" Alec asked, looking over at his sister.

Izzy just looked down, like she had lost all hope. Alec bowed his head and closed his eyes.

"I got your alert. Another Owl attack?" Clary asked as she came into her brother's office.

Alec was sitting at his desk looking restless. "No. Blood unit hit downtown. Most likely a rogue vampire. I want you on this with Izzy."

"Sure. Izzy and I can handle a rouge vamp." Clary told him and started to walk back out.

"There's something else." Alec stopped her.

"Yeah?" Clary asked, walking back over to his desk.

"Magnus and I are getting married tomorrow, as you know." Alec walked around his desk to stand in front of his little sister. "I was hoping you would stand up with me at the wedding, along with Iz and Sheldon."

"Simon." Clary corrected. "And of course I will. I'm so happy for you!"

She threw her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her. "Don't tell Susan yet." Alec whispered. "I haven't asked him yet, but I've already talked to Izzy."

"You've got it, Big Brother."

Magnus portaled into Catarina's living room where Catarina was waiting alongside Wesley and Tessa.

"What are we doing here, mate?" Wesley asked, lounging on the couch with a glass of red wine in his hand.

"I need your help." Magnus said. "I need all of your help."
