"Maryse. The Clave is ordering me to take a temporary control of this Institute." The bitch says walking around like she owns the place.

"Wait a minute. Nobody informed us." Maryse says walking down the steps.

"The Clave doesn't need to. And, to repeat myself, it's temporary. Nothings been decided yet. But I do need full clearance in order to assess how this Institute is running." The bitch says doing something in the screen. "Where is Clary Fairchild?" She looks around. "I would hope someone here knows."

"She's in the field, training." Alec answers.

"And crying." I add in.

"You're telling me she's just... out and about in the streets of New York?" The bitch says walking forward to Alec. "Valentines daughter?" She says looking at me.

"Isn't she also your cousin?" Izzy asks with crossed arms. The bitch turns her head to looks at her.

"Distant cousin." She says.

"She's with Jace." Alec tells her.

"The same Jace Wayland who decided to lead and unsanctioned raid against vampires?" She says walking to another screen. "I've read reports."

"Jace might be unconventional, but he's our best soldier." If he's with Clary she's in good hands." Maryse defends Jace.

"I hope so." The bitch says. "And for your sake, all if New York. All of your jurisdiction better be well protected." I hum.

"I hate her even more each time she opens her mouth." I say to Alec.

"I'm not a fan." Izzy says making me nod.

"I agree." I say. At least theirs another person that hates her.

"Jealous?" Alec says making me slap his shoulder.

"No." Izzy says fast.

"Hell no. I merely just don't like her. She has this vibe." I tell him. Alec's phone vibrates.

"Maybe." Izzy says. "How the hell did she catch that arrow?" She says pulling up her shirt higher.

"Where the hell did he get his bow and arrows is my question. I'm starting to believe he has powers." I say weirdly making Izzy laugh. I'm just stupid.

"I have something you need to see. Something attracted the Jade Wolf." Alec tells his mom and the Bitch. I'm still not going to call her by her name. He puts up a picture of a zombie looking person on the screen.

"The werewolves ' headquarters? Where did you--" Myrse says but is interrupted.

"Where did you get these?" Bitch says. I give her a look. Okay she's getting on my nerves.

"The leader of the New York wolf pack." He tells her. I go stand next to him.

"You're friends with Lucian Graymark? An ex-Circle member?" She asks in a weird tone. I roll my eyes slowly so she can see.

"How about we send Isabelle, Arielle, and Alec to investigate? I'm sure this is linked to--" Myrse suggests but is interrupted again.

"Valentine. I need to see it for myself. And Arielle isn't even a experienced Shadowhunter." She says rudely then walks away.

"Well you're clearly a experienced Bitch." I say sarcastically to myself. She looks back and glares but ignores me.

"Are you coming or what?" She asks looking at us, well them. Alec walks ahead.

"Well, you guys do that. I'm going to go shot myself in the head. Or maybe throw myself off a building." I say in a sarcastic but happy tone. I take out my phone to text Liv.

I'm so bored. I'm walking around the Institute looking for anyone to annoy. I stop when I realized I can practice how to use my powers. I look and see a unlit candle next to a person using a computer. I smirk and make a flame appear making the person jump. They look around to see if any one saw. I snort when he looks like he's going to pee himself.

"Want to come with me to see the body with Magnus?" Izzy says behind me making me jump. I look at her and glare angrily.

"Don't do that. You almost gave me a heart attack." I tell her. She laughs and grabs my arm pulling me along with her.

I stand next to Magnus as his hand hovers the zombie looking persons chest.

"You almost done?" Izzy asks him as she passes by. We had to hear a mask and a white coat but Magnus isn't wear the coat.

"Patience is a virtu, my dear." He tells her. I look at him in amazement as his hands glow blue.

"Come on, I want to get my hands on that thing." She tells him impatiently. I gag.

"Speaking of which, how is Alexander?" He asks us making me choke out a laugh. I smack his arm lightly. "I was hoping I might hear fear from him."

"Putrefaction. It's decomposing." She says touching its head.

"I'm not touching it." I say scrunching up my nose. Magnus laughs and my expression. I scoot back.

"It's just so hard to tell if Alexander is even interested." Magnus says in a irritated voice. "I mean, I can't fathom why he wouldn't be."

"Anyone would be interested in you." I say smirking. He looks at me and smiles.

"I'm not sure if you noticed, but my brother is not exactly warm and fuzzy. Well, to Ariel he is." Izzy says inspecting the head. I could feel my face getting warm.

"Who wouldn't be." He says staring in the distance. "Hmm, I suppose. With Clary's arrival..."

"And Valentine's return..." Izzy says.

"Mmm-hmm. Running the Institute..."

"The envoy from the Clave..." Izzy says.

"Is a bitch and a pain in the ass." I say humming. Izzy laughs in amusement.

"Hmm, I heard they're very impressive." Magnus says making me let out a weird noise.

"What else?" Izzy asks trying to change the subject.

"Oh. Babysitting Jace." Magnus laughs along with Izzy. I just stand there filed with jealousy. What is wrong with me? Gosh.

"And dealing with our parents, who are trying to find him a wife." Izzy says making me frown along with Magnus. "Sorry." Izzy says looking at us.

"Whatever, whoever he marries will be reminded by me that I kissed him first." I say lowly looking outside the window.

"It's quite right. I suppose Alec us just following his duty." Magnus says sadly. I feel you.

"Not everyone gets the luxury of following their heart." Izzy sighs.

"I'm gonna go deliver the preliminary findings. It seems like you have everything under control here." He says walking away. When I see Izzy start cutting I run out after Magnus.

"I'm going to fight." I tell him. He looks at me confused. "For Alec, you should too." I tell him. "He has feeling for you, I can see it each time and bring you up. I have feeling for him too, but I feel like you need him more that I do."

"Have you ever heard of a Polyamory relationship?" He asks me.

Me and Magnus walk on Alec working out with no shirt on. I whistle making him look at us. I smile sweetly.

"Magnus, Arielle." He says panting. I giggle.

"Okay, I'm back." Magnus says as Alec passes by us. "Oh, you don't have to get dressed up for us." He says smiling wide. "Fine." He says when Alec gives him a look. "But I liked what I saw."

"Tell me about." I mumble as I look around not meeting his eye.

"I have the preliminary autopsy findings." Magnus tells him.

"Why are you giving this to me?" Alec asks grabbing the packet out of Magnus hands. "This should go to the head if the Institute." He says.

"And it is." Magnus says.

"I'm not. And I never will be." Alec says scoffing.

"You won't be when you get the position." I tell him. He sighs. I try not to stare at his abs. Sike!

"It's like...it's like my whole life... has been a lie. Now, everything I've ever known is..."

"It's not what you thought." Magnus finishes. He looks up at Alec smirking.

"I've done everything for my parents...for the clave." He says breathing heavily. Is it bad to say I'm turned on. "I've done everything that they've asked." He stutters.

"Maybe you should start living for yourself." Magnus suggests. "So what's in your heart."

"I can't believe I'm saying this. I think you're right." Alec tells him.

"Hm, he's always right." I say nodding. They look at me. "Oh, did I ruin the moment. Sorry." I say looking away. I walk out strutting.
