Shaking off the feeling Hodge gave her, Myrcella caught up to her sister and heard Jace explain what a warlock was.
"Half demon, half mundane. Like your sister." He finished pointing a finger to Myrcella whose mouth was open in shock as he told her secret before herself.
Clary looked at her with shock evident in her eyes, so Myrcella showed her sister her shiny emerald eyes and smiled.
"But how? I thought you were a Shadowhunter like us. You have runes-" Clary questioned not quite understanding it but Myrcella cut her off.
"First of all, thanks Jace." She started sarcastically as Jace huffed. "And I'm a hybrid. Half Shadowhunter, half warlock." She explained shrugging. "Dot was one too, like Magnus." She finished off smiling at the mention of her friend.
"Dot? So if we can find her she can help us?" Clary questioned and they both nodded in unison. "Maybe she'll tell us who took my memories." She added before walking away.
Myrcella wanted to tell Magnus took them but she bit her tongue back for the moment knowing he couldn't help them now. He had told her he had fed it to a greater demon and she didn't want her sister getting herself in danger. She was about to join her new friends and sister when the raven haired boy stopped her.
"I spoke with the Clave, your sister is not allowed to leave the Institute." Alec said making her blood boil.
"Alec! Why are you such a goody two shoes?" Myrcella asked crossing her arms. "Also I don't listen to the Clave and neither does my sister." She added giving him a fake smile.
She irritated the hell out of Alec but not like Clary irritated him. He just couldn't put a finger on what was different about the older Fairchild that made him want to know her better. He shook off the feeling and crossed his arms as well, mirroring the fiery strawberry blonde.
"Well be a little grateful, I didn't tell the Clave about you." He replied taking a step towards Myrcella, almost closing the gap between them, making her breath hitch in her throat.
Her almond eyes gazed over his parted lips for a second before she realized no one was talking and it was Alec in front of her. She cleared her throat and wished that the gorgeous boy wasn't so stiff all the time.
"Um, uh, and why didn't you tell them, might I ask?" She asked smirking, noticing that he looked down at her chest before getting caught.
The air around them was so thick, you could cut through it with a knife.
"Because Myrcella, you're hiding something and I'm going to figure out what." He replied trying to be cocky but he failed so Myrcella just laughed in return.
"We'll see bow boy." She winked and walked away hearing Alec yell that his name wasn't bow boy.
The highly trained warlock and Shadowhunter decided to track down Dot on her own, to make sure her sister would be safe so she walked out of the Institute to open a portal to Pandemonium cause she had a gut feeling to go there but instead of Dot she came face to face with Magnus.
"Myrcella?" He exclaimed in surprise.
"I met Clarissa. Clary, Mag." She stated hugging him.
"I was so worried about you cupcake, with Valentine hunting down warlocks and all." He said breaking his embrace with the strawberry blonde.
"What? Why?" She asked him with a puzzled look but the high warlock shushed her.
"I'll explain it later cupcake, now I have to get our people to safety." He replied opening up a portal for his fellow warlocks and Myrcella nodded.
She sat down on one of the sofas as a girl ran towards him out of breath. She looked pale as if she was about to faint or puke or worse; both. Myrcella got up to take a good look at the girl only to realize it was Dot. The older Fairchild was shocked but content to see Dot alive. Then Magnus realized Myrcella was coming towards them so he put a magical barrier around her not wanting her to be seen by Dot. This confused Myrcella at first but she trusted her friend, after all he spent his last decade and more only to keep her safe.
She tried to focus on their voices and heard them speaking about her mom, how her plain failed. None of it was news to her. Then Dot left with all the energy she had seeing Magnus didn't want to help her and he reappeared behind Myrcella.
"Ella, love you should come with me. It's not safe here." He held out his hand and she gave it a squeeze but shook her head.
"You know I can't Mag, I can't leave Clary, not after she lost mom. I'll be careful, you raised a strong girl remember?" She stated giving him a huge grin making his heart melt. "I promise to meet you back at the loft as soon as possible okay?" She smiled and placed a kiss on his cheek.
He was hesitant at first but knew she could take care of herself, and that there were no way of stopping her once she made up her mind about something.
"Please be careful. If you see a Circle member, run. Don't look back." He replied with a serious face and went through the portal he had opened up for the warlocks, it disappearing after he went through.
"Of course Mag." She mumbled and left the section only to see her sister, the mundie, and the three Shadowhunters having an argument.
"I'm not afraid of the Silent Brothers." She heard Jace say but they still didn't see her.
"Who are the Silent Brothers exactly?" Clary asked and Myrcella jumped in the conversation startling the group, resulting with Alec holding a seraph blade against her throat.
"They're shadowhunters with superior powers." She explained to Clary then turned her head towards Alec. "Hey bow boy, do you mind?" She gestured at the seraph blade, rolling her eyes.
"As a matter of fact, I do." He replied earning an elbow to his side making him groan by Izzy so he lowered down his weapon.
The girls smiled at each other, Myrcella silently thanking Izzy and she saying no problem.
"You have to stop acting on your own, we are a group. Why were you here in the first place?" Alec asked him sternly.
"Aww, did the bow boy miss me? I'm used to working alone and I had to check on Magnus, also Dot was here." She replied putting a hand on her hip making Izzy chuckle cause no one would usually dare to speak to her brother the way Myrcella did.
"Dot was taken by the Circle, Myrcella." Clary replied with a sadness in her eyes, not even questioning about Magnus.
"Mag tried to stop her, I'm sorry." The older sister put a sympathetic hand on Clary's shoulder. "Also call me Ella." She added smiling.
"It's nice that you two are having a sisterly bond right now, but can I just remind you that there is a war going on Clary?" The mundie spoke, pretty evident in his voice that he was freaking out.
"And that is why we have to go to the Silent Brothers and get my memories back." Clary said looking around at their faces to see their reactions.
"Well that process can kill you." Alec voiced his opinion shrugging.
"Hey Alec, why don't you take the stick that's up in your ass out so you can chill? My sister is very much able to handle the Silent Brothers. She's a Fairchild." Myrcella snapped making everyone chuckle, trying to hold in their laughter except Alec, whose eyes grew wide at her comment towards him.
Izzy just couldn't help it and burst out laughing. She knew she liked Myrcella. She stood up to herself, and her family. Her fashion sense was amazing and she annoyed the hell out of her older brother. Myrcella grinned and winked at Izzy once she calmed down. Alec also liked the way Myrcella stood up for herself and her family, just like Izzy and Alec did. She wasn't weak like her sister Clary so he shut up and let them handle the argument on the Silent City on their own.
"If my sister believes I can do it, I do too." Clary spoke up, nodding a thank you to her sister.
"See? I told you she was one of us." Jace smirked, walking ahead with Clary.
"C'mon boy bow, relax." Myrcella smirked and linked her arm with his to make him walk after Clary with her.
She heard Alec groan and say his name wasn't that but she just laughed. It was a sincere laugh, a laugh that made Alec's heart melt. He looked down at the strawberry blonde for a mere second before looking up. He was Alec Lightwood for Raziel's sake. He had to keep his head on the mission no matter what. Unbeknownst to them, Isabelle Lightwood was looking at them with a mischievous smirk. Something in her told her Myrcella and her brother would do more than getting along.
