"I still don't understand. How can Shadowhunters be better than... than what you people call mundanes." Clary says. I roll my eyes.

"Darling, I'm gonna need you to put few of those few remaining brain cells together and work with me here. They. Protect. Humans." I says slowly as if I was talking to a little kid. She scoffs.

"Right. Humans, they protect humans. You left Simon all alone in the van. Great job guys, you rock." Clary says sarcastically.

"And you rock at being a dumbass. Also, you're the one who involved Simon." I say annoyed. She gives me a deadly glare.

"There is some truth to that idea that human beings should have a modicum of common sense." Alec says. I nod in agreement.

"Alec, not right now." Isabelle scolds Alec.

"Look, they won't do anything to Simon. They just wanted to draw you out. They want the cup and think you have it." Jace tells Clary.

"But why do they think that? Why does anyone think that? What, my mom lies to me my entire life except, "oh by the way, there's this magic cup, I hid on, Like the planet Bongo, but don't tell anyone." What am I supposed to do now?" Clary says.

"We have to report to the Clave." Alec says. What is it with the names?

"Great." Jace says sarcastically.

"They have to know we've learned about Valentine." Alec says as he walks. We follow him.

"What, that he's my father? Great. Fine. Tell them." Clary asks making him stop walking.

"He was already going to tell them without your permission." I mumbled. She ignores me.

"What good does that do Simon?"

"Clary, it's all connected. The vamps want the cup." Jace says.

"Everyone wants the cup." Liv scoffs as if we didn't know.

"Why?" Clary asks.

"It makes new Shadowhunters."

"Nobody wants Valentine forming an army loyal to himself." Alec says.

"Plus, it controls demons." Isabelle says. Cool. That'll come in handy.

"They'll propose a trade. Simon for the cup." Jace says. Great, another person.

"So, vampires will trade Simon for the cup and Valentine will trade my mother for the Cup. Either way, I lose someone I love." Clary says.

"Both actually. Who said your giving either of them the cup?" I ask her.

"We have to save our mom. Its not like we can just toss it." Me and Liv laugh.

"Really! This whole time you've said my mom this and that, now your saying our mom." Liv says scoffing.

"Bullshit!" I exclaim.

"Does this not matter to you?" Alec asks Clary.

"Yes, of course it matter!" She says with a louder voice. "You two shut it! Listen... when you saved my life... I put my trust on you. Now I need you to put your trust in me." Clary says looking around.

"I can't turn into what you are overnight." Clary continues.

"It's true. She was raised as a mundane." Isabelle speaks up.

"What are you? Her spokesman now?" Alec asks Isabelle sarcastically.

"I don't need a spokesman, I need a plan." Clary walks away.

"Do you think Edward will be there?" I ask Liv sarcastically.

"Uh, look at all this stuff, these screens. I mean, can any of this help me find Simon?" Clary asks looking around. "Where is he, anyway? Some kind of crypt in Transylvania?" Clary asks sarcastically.

"Actually, no. That was Camille's outfit, right? They're locals." Jace says.

"They're at the Hotel DuMort down in Gansevoort Street." Isabelle mentioned.

"And we come back here? Why? We have to go there. Let's go now. Come on." Clary says.

"Right, and get killed. Great such a great plan"

"That and we need a Clave resolution for that." Alec says.

"The six of us can't declare war on the vamps all by ourselves." Isabelle says.

"And we can't react without considering our opinions. Downeworlders are slaves to their impulses. We're not."

"Are they hot?" Liv asks.

"Some are. And Alec, you can't just jump on all the Downworlders." Isabelle says.

"Kinky." Liv chuckles.

"Oh, that right. Seelies have their charms, apparently." Alec says teasingly.

"Right?" Jace teases.

"Seelies"?" Clary says.

"Like faeries. The fair folk. Add pixies, nixies, elves... anybody half angel half demon. It's pretty much a catch-all term." Jace explains.

"Izzy can tell you all about them. She's got a thing." Alec teases Isabelle.

"We've all got our things, don't we?" Isabelle teases back. What does that mean? He rolls his eyes annoyed.

"Okay, I can't listen to this. Simon's been kidnapped by vampires. I guess I'll just take care of it myself." Clary says walking away.

"Clary your going to get yourself killed." Jace tells her.

"Wait Simon got kidnapped by vampires?" Liv says sarcastically.

"Clary, Simon, too." Jace says making her stop. God can she be more annoying.

"Then help me. While we consider other options, my best friend is suffering. We have to come up with a plan to save Simon." She says walking back.

"Who's we." I say.

"Please, if I was too was kidnapped by them, I would be horny rather than suffering." Liv chuckles. I slap the back of her head. "Ow."

"Is that something Shadowhunters understand or am I being a mundane?" Clary says ignoring Liv's comment.

"No your just being a stupidass." I say.

"She's right. I mean Clary's right." Jace says. He motions everyone to get closer to hear.

"They made the first move. We're gonna take care of this ourselves, right now." Jace says.

"This is a bad idea. I—"

"What, have you got a better one? Look, the vamps broke the Accords. They kidnapped a mundie. That's a big no-no. The clave will give us a lecture and be glad we did it. Come on." Jace says.

"Hard to argue with that." Isabelle agrees.

"Even if we went ahead, I don't see how we get out of here without having to explain where we going. We need weapons, and we can't let anyone see us get them." Alec says.

"I know where to get what we need." Jace says. I raise an eyebrow.

"Anyone know where the restroom is at. I swear I haven't seen one and I've been having to use it since like a few hours ago." Liv says out of nowhere.

"I know right! I'm starting to think nobody around here uses the restroom." I say confused.

"Who's grave is it?" Alec asks.

"Mary Milligan, born January 10th, 1802. Died, January 10th, 1878." Isabelle says.

"Wow died on her birthday how exciting. She must have been dead on happy.  Us too if we die today." Liv say's sarcastically.

"Wait it's your guy's birthday today!" Isabelle says. They look at us.

"Yeah." I just say. We don't really have good  birthday memories.

"One time on our birthday, we were about to blow the candles but someone else had blowed them before we could've." Liv says looking at Clary.

"How old we're you guys? 5,6." Isabelle asked.

"13." Me and Liv say at the same time. They look at us surprised. Clary scoffed.

"On my tenth birthday you guys shoved my cake on my face." Clary says mad.

"Correction, it was on your ninth, and we don't regret it." I say smirking. Liv nods. She glares at us and opens her mouth to talk but Jace interrupts her.

"All right, Alec, let's go." Jace says to Alec.

"Wait. What are we looking for?" Clary asks.

"Cache of weapons." Isabelle says.

"Stashed here with Mrs. Milligan." Jace says.

"Why are there Shadowhunter weapons in a churchyard?" Clary asks.

"Because all of the ancient religions recognized demons. Or at least they used to." Isabelle says.

"They forgot the threat because we've been here to protect them. Typical mundane failure of imagination." Alec says. He's such a grumpy cat.

"Are you saying we did too good a job? You just can't let up, can you?" Isabelle says to Alec.

"You know what? Alec, why don't you go check out by the angel?" Jace tells Alec.

"I'll go."  I say smirking as he walks in-front of me. I just look at him look around. When he would look at me I would look away.

"I know you were starring at me." Alec tells me in a teasing tone.

"Great observation." I replied.
