Chapter 1 - Blue Flowers
Alec was unhappy. No, not unhappy, miserable. He had dealt with demon poison, vamps and werewolves and the thing that hurt him most was the person he loved most.
Magnus Bane.
Jace was lounging on his blue striped couch in his bedroom. After weeks of experimenting on him, the silent brothers realised that the heavenly fire trapped within would burn anyone who touched him. Luckily not his couch. Despite everything Alec was happy Jace was back. For good this time. However it didn't help that he spent his every moment mooning over Clary.
"So what do you think I should get her for Christmas?" Jace asked. His blonde hair was ruffled as if he had spent an hour trying to get the 'Oh moi? I just got out of bed' look. Alec was starting to tire of Jace because all of their conversations seemed to circle right back down to her. That or Chinese food.
Alec shrugged his shoulders. "A puppy?"
"She's allergic." Jace replied coolly. "Seriously? A puppy? You know I thought you being gay meant that you were good at this sort of thing." Alec put his head in his hands. He sat on the edge of his bed that Jace had just made. He could never stand mess and if Alec didn't clean his room then he would stroll in and do the opposite of a hurricane and make his room neater. Alec was unsure whether he'd be a maid if he was a mundane. He pushed the image of Jace in a maids uniform out of his head and shivered.
"That's a stereotype. If you wanted advice on presents for girls, ask Isabelle or M-" Alec's voice cracked. He was about to say Magnus before he remembered they'd broken up in that dark abandoned subway station. He remembered Maureen claiming she'd killed Camille, and then disappearing, leaving him to find Camille's mangled dead body.
"Sorry about you and Magnus breaking up." Jace said in an uncharacteristically comforting voice. "I know it's almost Christmas and that's the worst time to feel alone but-"
"Can you just stop." Alec interrupted. "You're in love, it's kind of hard for you to sympathise with someone when you've never been rejected yourself. And don't say you reject yourself." Jace looked like he was about to retort something before closing his mouth.
"So how about Chinese tonight?"
Alec sighed.

"Fifty press-ups!" Jordan barked. In this light he looks like a gym instructor, wearing a pair of grey shorts and a black vest Simon thought. Maia giggled in the corner of their apartment. She lounged on a new green and white striped armchair that Jordan had shipped to New York from the praetor house. If Simon could sweat he was pretty sure he would now, Jordan had been like a drill Sargent for two hours now ordering him to exercise and teaching him fighting moves.
At the tenth push-up Simon collapsed. "No more." He gasped. "I concede." Maia's giggle turned into a full out laugh. Her curly black hair fell over her eyes; Simon couldn't help thinking about how she and Jordan had been stealing glances and kisses every time they thought he wasn't looking.
"Why aren't you on my side?" Simon asked sitting up and leaning against his wall. Jordan smiles like a madman, his praetor Lupus medallion showing over his black vest. A shadow briefly went over the window, a bird Simon thought but he couldn't help but be wary since he had lost the mark of Cain. He had a long list of people who wanted to murder him and now without the mark he had to ask Jordan to make him a better fighter.
"Well you did cheat on me so…" Simon put his head in his hands and smiled slightly. Maybe Simons exercising pain was her bizarre sense of Justice.
"Once again, we were never exclusive and without me you and Jordan would have never got back together. So you know, yay for infidelity." Simon smiled weakly at them. Jordan and Maia shared a smile before Maia jumped out of the chair and tackles Jordan with a hug. He kisses her in return. Simon raised his eyebrows. He was happy they were together but did they have to be so yucky.
"Here I got you this for Christmas." Jordan handed something in a small rectangular box to Maia. She beamed at him and drew him into an even deeper kiss. Simon coughed after ten seconds and they split apart.
"Bye Simon." Maia waved at him before slamming the door. Rain started to hit the open window splashing Simon. We really need to fix that dodgy window Simon thought.
Simon yawned once again he had been kept awake by Jordan and Maia's nightly activities. Isabelle had told him not to tell them about how loud they were saying that they had just gotten back together. Isabelle had come around a lot recently, to stay the night. It never progressed further than kissing which Simon didn't mind. He liked the way she fit next to him and the way she breathed when she slept, missed it in fact after she hadn't been round for the last couple of nights.
Jordan turned and smiled at him. "So fifty more-" He was interrupted by the butt of a gun hitting his head. Jordan collapsed like a rock. A figure clad in a black cloak behind him. A black hood casting the owners face in shadow. Simon let his fangs slip out and bit the masked attacker. It let out a pained scream and held its bleeding shoulder breathing deeply. It drops its pistol onto the ground. Its cloak almost seems to shimmer black, small blue roses pattern the back of the attacker's cloak. A flash of Isabelle's eyes came to him, dark but shining like a beacon. Simon didn't want to die without seeing Isabelle or Clary or even Jace again.
Simon turned around and ran. Jordan was on the ground but breathing shallowly. He ran into the bathroom and took out his phone texting as fast as he could to the first number that popped up. Suddenly a banging on the door erupted, Simon put his back on the door pushing with all his might, stopping the figure from getting in. He could hear a little girls maniacal laughing from the outside. The door smashed down, a chunk of debris hit his head turning Simon's vision black. He hit the send button before falling into unconsciousness.
