Shadowhunters | The other Fairchild |

Chapter Four

Jace walks in the room.

"Someone's looking badass"says Jace "Oh, thanks"says Clary "Yeah, just ignore me"says Piper from the bed "Sorry, Pipe, haven't seen you there"says Jace "Yeah. Yeah, excuses"says Piper "Clary cleans up well. I'm gonna go see Alec. He never knows what to wear to these parties either"says Izzy "I'll come with you. Maybe he'll see me"says Piper getting up from the bed "I said, I was sorry"says Jace

The two girls walk out and go to their older brother.

In the training room

Alec is preparing his bow what Izzy and Piper comes up to him.

"Pick a weapon. I suggest your whip and your blade"says Alec "What's wrong with you?"asks Izzy "Nothing"says Alec "oh, c'mon, Al. I know you"says Piper "We're going to a Downworlder's rave. You should be a little more excited"says Izzy "it's a mission, not a party"says Alec "Yeah, whatever. Before Clary got here, every day was the same. Go on the mission, kill demons. Go on the mission, kill mission. At least now things are interesting"says Izzy "I mean, she's right"says Piper "Interesting? Valentine is alive and actively seeking the Cup. He threatens our entire world. And we're helping his daughter"says Alec "I think that you're forgetting that he's my father too"says Piper "I didn't. But you were growing up with us, she wasn't. We have no reason to trust her. And she showed up 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. I don't find it interesting"rants Alec "Whoa. Feel better now?"asks Izzy "No, I don't"says Alec

Piper hugs Alec.

"How about now?"asks Piper still hugging him "Maybe a little"says Alec smiling a little "You can't keep bottling things up, Alec. It's only a matter of time before that explode. And not the fun kind of explode"says Izzy "All right, let's go"says Alec

Alec pats Piper's back as if telling her to let go.

"And we're not going for the music"says Alec walking out

At the Pandemonium

Jace, Piper and Clary are waiting in line.

"Alec and Izzy are securing the perimeter"says Piper "Are you guys sure this is a good idea? Last time we were here, this place was crawling with vampires"says Clary "Wait, what were you doing here?"asks Piper "Borrowing a motorcycle"says Jace "Of course you were"says Piper

Alec and Izzy walk to the group.

"All clear"says Alec "Do you think red's my colour?"asks Izzy "Iz, with a body like yours, everything's your color"says Clary "Good point"says Izzy "Will you take it off? I'm certain Magnus Bane doesn't want drool on his ruby when we make the exchange"says Alec "You know, I wouldn't be so sure. Most men like it when I admire their jewels"says Izzy "Oh God, Izzy"says Piper "Can you just give it to Jace?"asks Alec "You're such a buzz kill"says Piper and Izzy at the same time

Inside

"Blend in. Keep your weapons ready"says Jace

Jace, Piper and Clary walks off from the rest.

"Magnus"says Piper seeing him "Ah, my sweet cupcake. And I see you came with friends"says Magnus "Hey, Mag. I'm just here to make sure nothing happens"says Piper "Very well, then. Clary Fairchild. You've grown into a beautiful young woman"says Magnus "Magnus Bane. So you're the one who stole my memories"says Clary "At your mother's request. She knew the risk. Show me the jewelry, Shadowhunter"says Magnus
