I woke with gasp. Something's here, something that shouldn't be.

"I wonder what I sensed?" I asked myself.

"Magnus, get up. We have an eventful day." I said

"I'm up." He said

We got out of bed, preparing for the day. As we were about to have breakfast, we heard knocking.

"What's going on?" Magnus asked as he opened the door. I saw Simon and Luke

"Maia's gone missing." Luke said

"What!" Luke yelled.

"Who's Maia?" Clary asked

"She's part of the pack." He told her.

"What?" I asked

"She disappeared from the Hunter's Moon. And I think your bestie the Seelie Queen's responsible." Simon said as Magnus let them inside.

"What would the Queen want with Maia?" Magnus asked

"She has this crazy obsession with me because of the whole daylighter thing. And then she invited me to live in the court, and I said thanks but no thanks, and then she... she threatened to hurt the people I care about." Simon told us

"Impossible." Raphael said.

"What? What is?" Simon asked.

"How could you possibly be a daylighter? There has only been one daylighter ever." Raphael said

"We'll figure it out. I promise mijo, we will find a solution." I told him

"She also offered shelter to every downworlder." Magnus said

"That shelter comes with a price." I said

"Loyalty to the Queen. Maia wouldn't follow that. And she wouldn't desert her pack." Luke said

"Maybe she found a lead on Valentine and is off hunting him down." Magnus said

I could only sigh.

"Without telling me?/ come on, Magnus" Luke and Simon said

"I must have gone senile in my old age." Magnus said.

"No kidding." I said.

"You've always been crazy." Raphael said.

"Quiet, Raphael." Magnsu told him.

"We're not making this up. She's got Maia." Simon told him

"Our warlocks are on the roof, holding up the wards to keep Valentine in the city. We have to go help them. But the next time I or Magnus sees the Queen, we will inquire." I told Simon as Magnus and I went upstairs to help.

"Magnus, are you feeling that?" I asked him

I looked around my area. It was dark.

"Yeah, but I can't pinpoint it." He told me

Suddenly, I heard one of the warlocks' screams.

"Is that an edomnai?" I asked

"I've never seen one before." Isabelle said.

"Because they don't leave Edom." I told her.

"Then, what are they doing there?" Simon asked

"Is that from Edom?" I asked

"Yes, it is." He said

"Alright warlocks, go home and stay safe. Magnus deal with the demons. I will keep the wards up." I told everyone
