Tessa Herondale stood waiting with a duffel bag in hand. She rang the doorbell, eager to see her friend Magnus again. She remembered when she had first met Magnus, 200 years ago. A boy who could have been her Will's twin answered the door. She gasped and hugged him. She pulled him towards her. He stood frozen rigid, unsure what to do. Her old friend Magnus Bane came up behind the boy.

"Tessa," he said, "you might want to let go of Alec Lightwood." She let go of the boy. "Oh my god? Lightwood, like Gideon and Gabriel? And Sophie? Like Will's Light-worm jokes? He looks like a Herondale. God. Its been years. I cant believe it. A Lightwood in NY." Alec glared at her.

"Wow, its been forever since I have been around shadowhunters." She said, looking at Alec's sight rune. She held up her own left hand. It had the thick black design of the sight. "Shadowhunter?" Alec asked. just then a loud blonde boy burst in.

"Thats right, and I'm the best. Herondale, Jace Herondale." He said, running his fingers through his shaggy blonde hair. Tessa grabbed Jace and hugged him close. "JACE HERONDALE!" Tessa heard a red haired girl scream at him. Tessa kissed Jace's cheek, she carefully ran her fingers through his golden hair.

"Clary!" Jace yelped in surprise as the red haired girl slapped him across the face. Tessa watched as a young couple walked in behind the lovers quarrel. The girl had scrolling marks all up her arms. The boy was undead.

Tessa gasped and drew a seraph blade out Jace's jacket. He kept it hidden in there. She knew that was how the Herondale boys did things. Tessa launched herself at the vampire boy, seraph blade coming down in a killing arc. The vampire boy dodged in time.

Magnus stood by the door. Laughing at Clary and Jace's lovers quarrel. Watching with old memories arising of William Herondale and Tessa Gray.
