Summary: In the City of Lost Souls, Simon, Isabelle, Alec and Magnus were to give up one of their most treasured memories for the sake of saving Jace. We've all known what Simon gave up, but the others? Not so much. But now you can. Here are Izzy's, Alec's and Magnus's forgotten happiness.

"All of you try to think of happy moments. It should be something that really makes you happy when you think about it." Magnus said.
I didn't fuss on what memory to forget. I already knew which one. And I didn't care if I lost it or gave it to the Prince of Hell. It didn't seem to matter anymore; it wouldn't make a difference, anyway.
I closed my eyes, replaying that seemingly perfect memory for the last time.
My dad and I were outside our manor. We watched the sun set itself down; the colors orange and red scattered across the sky. Sunset was always my favorite time of the day; though I didn't have any mature enough explanation to why I loved it, unlike Alec who always had one. It was just simple but breathtaking, and that seemed to be a good enough reason.
I was sitting beside dad, anxiously waiting for the sky to turn purple, which was the way it should always be when it was twilight.
"Why do you seem to be so anxious Isabelle? Is there a demon that you should be slaying right now?" Dad said jokingly. I looked at him and made a face. He didn't seem mad; rather, he smiled that familiar smile that I always thought of as comforting.
"Why is it taking so long?" I muttered to myself. "It shouldn't be this long,"
"What is, Izzy?" Asked another voice. I turned to the direction of the voice and saw that it was mom, her hair was pulled back into a loose bun, making some of her black hair tumble on her beautiful face. She was cradling a sleeping Max; Alec following behind.
Dad was about to say something when I suddenly jumped from my seat and squealed in glee. "There it is! There it is!" I cried, pointing to the sky.
"I don't see anything." Alec said, standing beside me. Squinting, he was trying his best to see what I was pointing at. And a few moments later, they were all there, standing right next to me, joining me in what could be the most exiting thing that could happened that day.
"Oh, it's the first star. Now I get it." Dad mused.
"Yes! Now we close our eyes and make a wish." I closed my eyes and did so.
"So, what did you wish for, Izzy?" Alec said after a few minutes of silence; his blue eyes looking expectantly into mine.
"You're not supposed to say it, 'cuz it won't work." I explained, slightly feeling frustrated that he didn't understand.
"You know what I wished for?" it was dad; he knelt in between Alec and I. At the same time, we both shook our heads. "Nothing."
"Why?" Curiosity obvious in my tiny voice.
Before he answered, he picked up both Alec and I, placing us on top of each of his shoulders. His hands reassuringly placed on our hips. He moved closer to where mom was standing and placed a kiss on her forehead. He smiled. "Because I've got everything that I ever wanted and needed right here. And I couldn't have asked for more."
And I was a hundred percent sure that I slept with a smile on my lips that night.
And that was it. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and said, "I'm ready." I braced myself for any sudden pain. But only felt a light brush of Magnus's finger. He murmured something that even this close to him, I wasn't able to hear.
When I blinked my eyes open, Magnus was looking at me with sad eyes. I tried to remember what made him look at me that way. But my mind remained blank.

A/N: Alec will be up next. But I won't be able to update for a few days. You guys have to wait. Sorry.
Anyways, what do you guys think? Review, please. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated. Thank you.
Byeee for now ;)
