Jace, Clary, Alec, Simon and Isabelle had seen many strange things, being both shadow hunters and a vampire things didn't get much stranger. But now as they stood behind the gates of the New York institute they couldn't believe the sight of the young girl stood in-front of them. One would guess her age to be around sixteen years of age, she had short brown hair that just reached the backs of her ears and ticked the top of the back of her neck, the fringe was swept to the right and sometimes dropped in-front of her eye. The girl was taller then the average woman but shorter then both Alec and Jace's six foot. She was thin but with obvious lyth muscles under her clothing, clothing that consisted of a black baseball cap on top of her head, a black leather trench coat encasing her arms but was open at the front, the bottom not quite reaching the floor. The black pants on her legs were baggy and seemed to be jeans but were a thicker and tougher material. Encasing her tapping feet were black leather biker boots which her pants were tucked into. But the most striking thing about her appearance was her eyes, her eyes, squinted in a glare as they were, glowed a golden-green colour and her black pupils were slitted, much like one would find on a cat and eyes that Alec had seen many times on his boyfriend Magnus Bane. "I will not ask again little Nephilim, where is Magnus Bane?!" the girls voice sounded young and old at the same time but it also hissed like a feline would when annoyed.
"Why should we tell you anything?" Jace asked in his usual sarcastic tone of voice. The girls eyes swivelled over to Jace and she smiled showing off a row of sharp teeth, a lesser Shadow Hunter would have shuddered at the sight but Jace did not.
"Jace Herondale. I have been acquainted to your family for years. The first of course being your great-great-great grandfather William Herondale. In-fact you remind me much of him. I grew up with his son James and daughter Lucie. James was my best friend for a time, I do so miss them,' the girl said, her face shifting to one of mourning before returning to it's glare once more. "Do not try and distract me. I must know the location of Magnus Bane, it is imperative you tell me." No one seemed to wish to answer as Jace stood frozen to the spot and unsure as to what to do. Alec sighed and stepped up next his black hair being tugged slightly by the wind.
"What makes you believe we know the location of the Warlock Magnus Bane?' Alec asked, even though it pained his heart to say it.
"Do not try and outsmart me Alexander Lightwood, your ancestors tried and failed. Although your family line was redeemed by Gideon Lightwood's children and even Gabriel Lightwood's children, much to everyone's surprise. The boy did after all bow to everything his bastered of a father said." With that Alec and Isabelle also froze and Simon sighed before stepping up, after all if this person knew everything about the three teens that had been shadow hunters the longest there was no telling what she would know about Clary.
"Who are you? We know Magnus has many enemies and we would not want to send one straight to his door,' Simon replied.
"I see your point vampire, but I am no enemy of Magnus Bane. In-fact he believes me dead, this is why I must see him," the girl replied gripping something in her hand which she held to her heart. "Please, you are my last hope of finding him." Simon knew she was playing them, but he couldn't help but open the gate to allow this girl entrance.
"Simon no!" Jace shouted, but it was to late the girl had slipped through the gate and was now standing in-front of them.
"I am no threat to you. Nor to Magnus. Now please where is he?" the girl begged.
"Alexander what's going on?" a voice asked that had everyone almost groaning but the girl's head whipped around so fast towards the noise that everyone couldn't help but wince at the cracking sound it made.
"Magnus!" the girl breathed and Magnus froze staring at the girl.
"No. This is some trick! Who put you up to this? Camille? It is something she would do after all," Magnus said before laughing without any humour.
"No no no Magnus. I am real! I swear it! I didn't die in the attack! Mother hid me with the other children. I got out yes and I ran, but I was knocked out. When I woke up it was to find you missing, mother dead and everyone believing I had also been killed or taken. I tried to find you, for months I searched but I was becoming ill and was found by another Warlock by the name of Malcolm Fade. By this time I had been knocked out for stealing bread to eat. When I awoke I didn't remember who I was or where I came from. I couldn't even remember my name so he started spouting off random names until he said Jessalin and I latched onto that name, I didn't know why I just did. I know why now of course, I was named Jessalin by my mother after Jessamine Lovelace. But anyway I am vearing off track. Malcolm raised me and slowly my memories started to return, but by this time everyone I knew and loved was dead. Then someone mentioned you and that was it memories started flooding back at such a rate it placed me into a magical coma, I was in that coma for a year before I woke again and Malcolm told me that he was searching for you and that he had found you, but he was very ill himself. He had been poisoned by a demon but was struggling to heal himself and the poison was killing him. He died in my arms only three weeks later and then I knew I had to come looking for you, I had to find you again," the girl said tears falling down her cheeks.
"Magnus? Who is this?" Alec asked quietly.
"She's my sister," Magnus replied.
