We go up to Alec as he picks up one of his arrows.  He looks up.

"Pick a weapon. I suggest your whip." He tells Izzy. "And for you, get your knifes." You see, I have found interest in knives and daggers.

"What's wrong with you?" Izzy asks Alec.

"Nothing." He answers. I poke his cheek.

"Something is clearly wrong." I say as he slaps my hand away.

"We're going to a Downworlder's rave. You should be a little excited." Izzy says.

"It's a mission, not a party." Alec says making me gasp.

"Waaa! No it's more than a party. I've been here to long. I need to buggy." I say doing a little dance. Liv joins. The Lightwoods just look at us.

"Yeah, whatever. Before they got here, every day was the same. Go on a mission, kill demons. Go on a mission, kill demons.at least now things are interesting." Izzy tells Alec.

"Interesting? Valentine is alive and actively seeking the Cup. He threatens our entire world. And we're helping his daughter. Who, by the way, we have not reason to trust. And showed out of nowhere. On top of that, we're gonna end up overpaying some warlock who may or may not have information we need. So, no, Izzy... I don't find it interesting." Alec says making us look at him shocked.

"Whoa!" Izzy says.

"Fan-fucking-tasting, thanks for the facts. Try having some faith. By the way your cute when your grumpy." I say squeezing his cheeks. He slaps my hands away from his face.

"Feel better now?" Izzy asks Alec.

"No, I don't." He answered.

"He needs a hug." I say. He glares at me.

"Okay, maybe a little." He smiles. "Not the hug."

"There goes my hopes and dreams." I fake frown and pretend faint into Liv's arms. She pushes me off her.

"Pick a card any card." She tells Alec bringing up her cards. He raises her eyebrows. "Just pick one, I'm practicing." He pulls two out. "I said one but okay."

Her eyebrows furrowed. "What?" He asks.

"You're going to fall in love with two people." She says. I lean in to look at the cards. "A man and a women. You're going to be happy soon but there's going to be something that will stop that happiness, wait not person." She says. "I must me doing it wrong." She groans walking away.

"That was something, anyways. You can't keep bottling things up, Alec. It's only a matter of time before they explode. And not the fin kind of explode." Izzy tells him.

"What's the find kind of explode." I ask.

"All right, let's go. And we're not going for the music." Alec says.

"We should go for the music." I say making him look at me with a deadly glare.

"Do those lips of yours ever shut up?" Alec says making me smirk.

"Only whenever they're interrupted by a kiss." I smirk and blow a kiss to him. He blushes and walks away.

"All clear." Alec says as we go up to Clary and Jace in the line.

"Do you think reds my color?" Izzy asks us.

"Iz, with a body like your, everything's your color." Clary says.

"For once she's right." I say nodding.

"Good point. Damn, I make this necklaces look so good." Izzy says looking at the necklace.

"Will you take it off. I'm certain Magnus Bane doesn't want drool on his ruby when we make the exchange." Alec says rudely.

"You know I would be so sure. Most men like it when I admire their jewels." Izzy says making me laugh.

"I admire you." I tell her. Izzy giggles.

"Can you just give it to Jace?" Alec tells her.

"You're such a buzzkill." She gives the necklace to Jace.

"Right." I agree. As we go in I dance. "This is my kind of place.

"With sweaty horny people?" Alec says.

"That would be in a gym with me and you." I wink at him. Jace rolls his eyes.

"Blend in. Keep your weapons ready." He says as we go towards another god.

"Holy mother of Jesus!" I exclaim going toward him. I go in front of him as the others catch up. "Arielle Drozdov." I say putting my hand out. He smirks and kisses. I swear I will swoon for this man. And Alec of course.

"Magnus Bane." He says. I smile dreamily.

"Magnus." Jace says making him look at him. I glare at Jace. He gets up.

"Clary Fairchild. You've grown into a beautiful young woman." He tells Clary making me glare at her.

"She always gets everyone." I grumble to Liv.

"You'll get used to it." She tells me. "I did."

"Magnus Bane. So you're the one who stole my memories." She says to Magnus.

"At your mothers request. She knew the risk. Show me the jewelry, Shadowhunter." He says to Jace.

"Ooh... give Clary back her memories, and you get the jewelry." Jace says.

"I have to confirm it's authenticity." Magnus puts his hand out. Jace gives it to him.

"Amor verus numquam moritur." "True love cannot die." Oh, how I've missed this jewel." Magnus says.

"Now, it's your turn to pay up." Clary says.

"I wish I could retrieve your memories, but I no longer have them." He tells her.

"What? Where are they?" She look at him then to Jace panicked.

"I fed them to a memory demon for safekeeping." He says waving his hands around.

"Why the hell would you do that?" Jace asks him.

"To protect Clary and the Cup. If Valentine ever captured me, he could torture Clary's memories out of me. Just like he tortured Dot." He says making me and Liv look up fast.

"Tortured?" Clary asks.

"Wait, is Dot okay." Liv asks worried.

"You guys don't know? Dot is dead." He says. I felt everything around me stop. I gasp out. ILet out a cry. I could feel heat all over me. Magnus looks at me sadly.

"Oh my god." Liv says crying.

"What? How do you know?" I could hear Clary ask.

"I can't feel her magic anymore. Valentine killed her because she would not betray your mother." Magnus says sadly.

"Come with me, Clary. My lair can offer you protection no Shadowhunter ever could." He tells Clary. Jace scoffs.

"No! No, I'm not going anywhere with you." She tells him.

"Don't be a fool. Your mother would want you to live." He tells her.

"Then help me get my memories back from whatever demon you gave them to." She says.

"Valentine is hunting you, too. And every moment we're outside my lairs protection is a moment Valentine gets closer to finding us." Magnus says then he opens a portal.

"Come with me." He says putting is hand out for her to take. She looks at it than to Jace. "I won't offer again."

"No." Clary says. "No, I won't hide from my problems and neither should you."

"Look out." Someone says as an arrow goes into a man's chest. It was Alec who shot the arrow.

"Who are you?" Magnus says looking at Alec.

"I know right." I say wiping my tears beside Magnus. He nods. He looks at him and me then goes straight to the port at but Clary stops him.

"Magnus, wait. You're my only hope."

"Valentine found us. I warned your mother this might happen." He says going through the portal.

"Wait." Clary says but it's too late.

"The area's secure. Looks like he was the only assassin." Izzy says.

"He has a Circle rune on the base of his necks." Alec tells us.

"They found us. It's not safe here. Clary, we have to go. Clary..."

"I swear she's going to kill one of us one day." I say scoffing.
