"Do you think reds my colour?" Izzy asked Clary and I as we walked up the steps to Magnus' party
"Iz with a body like yours, everything's your colour." I tell her
"Good point." She says touching the necklace "Damn, i make this necklace look so good."
"Will you take it off? im sure Magnus Bane doesn't want drool on his ruby when we make the exchange." Alec told his sister
"Calm down Alec, have some fun." I tell him
"You know, I wouldn't be so sure, most men Ike it when i admire there jewels." Izzy says and i laugh
"Can you just give it to Jace?"
Izzy sighed "you're such a buzzkill." And handed the necklace to Jace
When we got inside the club there was loud techno music playing and lots of people dancing
"Blend in, keep your weapons ready." Alec and I went in one direction Izzy in the other and Clary and Jace went to find Magnus.
Alec and I went in the direction of the dance floor, when we got there i started dancing circles around him, i laughed when one guy came up to me and tried to flirt with me i told i already had my eye on a guy.
out the corner of my eye i spotted CLary and Jace walking towards Magnus, i stopped dancing and dragged Alec behind me "Magnus" i yelled when i saw him i ran up to him and he pulled me into a tight hug "Ive missed you so much... we need to catch up more often." I said with a huge grin on my face
"How do you know Magnus." Jace asked surprised
"He was being payed by my mum to take my memories until two years ago when the spell just stopped working i was immune somehow, Magnus told me everything, i never told my mum because shed think i was to young so i kept it a secret from her, me and Mags have been friends since then." I explained
"Then why couldn't you have just told me everything? Or told me how to get my memories back at the start of this." Clary asked angrily
"I made a promise with Jocelyn." I said turning and lifting my hair so they could see the promise rune on my back "I promised that I wouldn't tell Clary anything until Jocelyn of Luke had told her or until she found out by herself." I told them
They all nodded there heads looking slightly confused "But you." I say pointing at Mags "You never told me i was a Herondale. Why?" I ask
"I have known many Herondales in my time all of them strong, brave, caring people and i believed your mother should've been the one to tell you." He told me sincerely i smiled at him again then he turned to Clary
"I wish i could retrieve your memories but i no longer have them." He told her
"What? Where are they?" She asked him
"I fed them to a memory demon for safekeeping."
"And why the hell would you do that?"Jace asks angrily
"He did it to protect the Cup, CLary and himself obviously you idiot." I say still standing beside Magnus
"He'd torture me just like he did Dot." Magnus adds
"Tortured? Wait is Dot okay?" Clary asked him
"You dont know, Dot is dead."
"What?" She asked "You knew didn't you." She says pointing at me
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me." She asked accusingly
"I didn't want you to be anymore stressed than you already were." I told her
"That's not a good enough excuse. I hate you." She says ending the argument
"Don't be a child Clary." I say but she ignores me giving me the cold shoulder great
"Come with me." Magnus says "My lair can offer you protection no Shadowhunter ever could."
Jace scoffs
"No! No im not going with you." Clary says
"Don't be a fool, your mother would want you to live."
"Then help me get my memories back from whatever demon you gave it to." She said to him
"Valentine is hunting you Clary, and you to Hayley." Magnus said looking at both of us "And every moment we we're outside my lairs protection, is a moment Valentine gets closer to finding us." Magnus continues as he opens a portal behind himself "Come with me" Clary shakes her head "Hayley im not going to offer again."
"Sorry Mags i made a promise i go where she goes." I say pointing to Clary
Magnus smiles "A true Herondale putting someone else before yourself." He tells me
Alec's arrow flies past us and sinks into the chest of man sneaking up behind Magnus, Alec walked up to the checking it and grabbing his arrow
"Who are you?" Magnus asked
"No no no Magnus he's mine." I say as Magnus starts to leave
"Magnus wait!" CLary stopped him "You're our only hope."
"Valentine found us, I warned your mother this might happen.' He told us as he vanished through the portal.
"Wait..." Clary yelled but it was too late he was gone
"The areas secure looks like he was the only assassin." Izzy says walking closer to us
"He has a circle rune at the base of his neck." Alec informed us
"They found us, its not safe here, Clary, Hayley we have to go." We all started to leave... except for Clary who was sitting on a stool. I walk up to her and pull her up
"Come on Clary we have to go." I tell her
We take he back exit out of the club, Clary was walking slowly so i stopped to see if she was okay.
"Hey you okay?" I ask worried
"Jace" Izzy called out to the blond after she saw that we had stopped
"Clary, we have to move." He said
"Im catching my breath." She told him
"You know what? This is great, not only did Magnus not get the girl her memories back, he took the necklace. This is fantastic..." Jace cuts Alec off
"Alec, the girl... her name is Clary and i highly suggest you keep your voice down." Jace says
"Why? What are you afraid im going to upset her? We have risked our lives again and again for this girl and where has it gotten us? All right? Nowhere were no closer to getting the Mortal Cup and we've lost the Institutes necklace." Ale said furious
"Hey, im right here." Clary said getting everyone's attention "I dont care about your damn jewellery, im sorry you're you're gonna look bad in front of your bosses, okay? But my mother is still missing and my last chance at finding her just disappeared into thin air."
"Clary it gonna be fine." Jace told her
"No it not! People are dying because of me." She looked at the other "And Magnus? Magnus will never come out of hiding again while Valentine is still after him." She said fake laughing "Were never gonna find him, and i will... i will never get my memories back."
"You give up way to easy." I say picking what Clary had just dropped on the floor and passing it to Jace, who walked a little way away.
"What is he doing?" Clary asked
"He's tracking Magnus, be quiet and keep your distance." Alec said
"The button belonged to Magnus, Jace can pinpoint the location using that." I explained
"No." Jace said turning back to face us "The signals not strong enough, Magnus must be blocking the track, lets do this Alec."
"Do what?" Clary asked
"Parabati tracking." Izzy answered
"Of course they are.' Clary murmured
"When parabati track, their power gets stronger, Jace and Alec are gonna track Magnus together."
"This whole parabati thing seems oddly intimate, if you ask me." Clary says
Izzy sighs "You dont know the half of it."
"Got him.' Jace informed us
