Magnus was walking down 5th when he seen her. Waist length light, blonde hair and skin tight jean and blue silk top, and at least 5 inch stilettos.. Her lips were painted a bright red and her eyes outlined in black. After all these years he couldn't believe he was seeing her here now. Part of him longed for her but the other wanted to turn around and get the fuck out of there.
She walked up to him smiling like a Cheshire cat. Bitch , how dare she come back after all these years!
"Hello Magnus" she said looking up at Magnus with an innocent smile.
"Amber what the hell are you doing here" snarled Magnus.
"I came to see you" Amber said coldly.
"Well you shouldn't have.."
Amber raised a pale hand up to his face and ran a finger down. It sent shivers down Magnus's back. "Hundreds and hundreds of years later and you still haven't aged a bit, made some very different fashion choices, but stuck forever at the seventeen, the same age as me."
"Physically, defiantly not mentally" muttered Magnus.
"I have to go … its almost time.."
"Well better get running."
"We have to talk Magnus."
"Perhaps."
Amber gave him a puppy dog look.
"Look a lot has changed.. But I suppose I could spare an hour.."
"That's all I ask." She smiled at him before disappearing into the shadows.
" I want you lovin and I want your revenge, you and me could write a bad romance" rang Magnus's phone. Who is calling at this hour thought Magnus.
"Yes" said Magnus.
"Hey" said Alec brightly. "How are you?"
"Oh you know could be better", Magnus looked at all the empty liquor bottles. "But now that your calling defiantly fantastic."
"Well would you mind some company? We have news."
"Well darling I'm not sure if I'll have time today, lots to do." Magnus was lieing through his teeth
"It'll only take a couple mintues.." Oh Alec your one of the only people who get there way with me.
"Fine fine, just give me a bit."
Magnus sat up and sighed , he had a feeling what this was about. He didn't know what to do . Should he lie to Alec about her, Magnus wasn't sure if there relationship was ready for this..
"So what's soo big everyone has to come to my house? Or was it just for the pleasure of my good looks?" Magnus sat next to Alec. Alec put his hand on Magnus's thigh, it was comforting. He had only recently accepted being gay and open about his and Magnus's relationship.
About an hour after Alec phoned he, Jace, Clary, Isabelle, Simon, and Luke all showed up at his door step with worried and serious looks.
"You can't feel it" asked Simon. His eyebrows raised in disbelief.
" Feel what" asked Magnus.
"That presence, its everywhere" said Luke, concerned. "Every down worlder I've talked to feels it."
"Oh." Everyone was looking at Magnus and he could see suspicion on Jace's face. "Well what may I ask are you feeling?"
"A pull, like at night its as if I should drop everything and find it." Simon said. With a sort of dreamy expression.
"It disgusts me, I want to destroy it." Luke muttered with an angry look.
"This isn't normal is it Magnus" asked Clary. She looked worried. As she should be.
"No, its not," Magnus got up and stared out the window. "Simon you want to go to it because technically she's your mother."
"Excuse me?" Simon looked totally taken back.
"Luke you want to rip her to shreds because its in your nature, killing her would get rid of your greatest enemy. You'd both be feeling the opposite way if it was Marcus, your king Luke.
"So what is it" asked Jace.
"It, is Amber, Queen of the vamps, the very first one" explained Magnus turning around. Everyone's faces looked shocked. "I guess I don't feel her as much because I'm not a vampire or a werewolf, plus I was around when she was made.."
"Damn Magnus that must have been ages ago" said Isabelle. "I didn't think you were that old."
"Isabelle" hissed Alec.
"What! I'm just saying .."
" Vampires really aren't as old as everyone thinks they are, neither are werewolves."
"So why is she here" asked Jace.
"I don't know" snapped Magnus. This was all getting to him. He thought he could handle it but it was getting to complicated. He walked out of the room to his bedroom. Telling everyone that he had a major head ache and was going back to bed.
It was almost six, soon it would be dark. Almost time to see Amber.. Outside he could hear Alec asking everyone to leave. They were probably wondering about his major freak out, and it probably wasn't going to help Jace's suspicion, And Magnus had to wonder how much Luke knew..
"Hey what's wrong" asked Alec quietly coming in and sitting next to Magnus.
"This just brings back old memories."
"Like?"
Silence.
"Magnus?"
"I don't want to put this on you darling, its too much."
"I'm sure I can handle it" Alec put his hand on Magnus's ."I love you".
"I love you too."
"Could you please tell me ?"
Magnus sighed and nodded. God he could really use some retail therapy.
