Ok, I know a fic about a Halloween party is out of season seeing as it's August but I was bored one rainy day on my holiday and this idea came into my head. It's where Magnus throws a Halloween party, as the name suggests. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own TMI.
Clary loved Halloween as a kid. Her and Simon would dress up and go trick or treating, but they would only be allowed out for an hour even as teenagers! They had to sprint from house to house in order to get a meagre amount of sweets. They knew not to knock on the door of Mrs Davis because she was strict, ratty and hated kids. When they were seven, they made the mistake of going there and instead of a lolly or jellies, they'd each received a slap on the cheek and a lecture about disturbing the elderly. Even though she was only forty six.
Clary had hated how her mother was so overprotective of her. She was only allowed to go trick or treating without an adult when she turned thirteen, and it had to be with Simon and no other friends who Jocelyn didn't know, and it could only be for an hour before it got too dark. At least now she knew the truth about why she was so overprotective, it was because she was trying to protect her from Demons, Downworlders and Shadowhunters. Halloween was probably the night where the Demon count would be high and there would probably be a lot of vampires and werewolves out.
This year however would be different, she was sixteen and aware of the dangers. Even better, she knew how to protect herself. She also had Jace, Isabelle and Alec for protection. Who cares if she was sixteen? You're never too old for Halloween.
"I love Halloween, don't you?" Isabelle asked, hanging up a glow in the dark skeleton on the window.
"No, and I don't see why you go through the trouble of decorating the Institute every year. Mundies aren't going to see it. We'll be the only ones to appreciate it. Well we would if the decorations weren't so cheesy and unrealistic," Jace said. He didn't really like Halloween, he'd never got to experience it as a child so he wasn't bothered about it. In fact, he just saw it as a way for costume shops and sweet shops to make a bit extra money.
"Yes, but the other Shadowhunters will be able to see it! And so will Downworlders! Besides, it's good to be in the Halloween spirit!"
"Halloween spirit? I think you're getting confused with Christmas!"
"And Isabelle, we all know that Halloween is the one night where Demons can wreak havoc. Their Glamours are weaker on Halloween, so sometimes they are seen by Mundanes. But of course, they just think that they're kids in costumes and they don't suspect anything. Demons take advantage of this, and they go on wild rampages and it is the night where they cause the most damage," Alec explained. Jace pretended to yawn.
"Thanks for the history lesson, Alec but as you can see I didn't need it. I'm already a genius" Jace remarked smugly.
"Jace a genius? Then I must be Einstein!" Clary laughed as she entered the room.
"Ah, but you are so much prettier than Einstein" Jace replied, moving in for a kiss. Clary accepted, and pressed her lips against his. She hadn't kissed many boys in her life, but she knew that Jace was a good kisser.
"Ugh, enough of the PDA already!" Isabelle groaned throwing a jelly at Jace. It landed in his mop of golden locks. Secretly she was a bit jealous of them, Jace had Clary, Alec had Magnus, she had nobody. She liked Simon a lot, but she wasn't sure if the feeling was mutual.
"Are you trying to mess up my hair, Isabelle? You're just jealous that your lanky black strands do not compare to my sexy, golden locks," Jace said, waving his hair. He took the jelly out of his hair and flicked it away. Isabelle's eyes narrowed slightly. "And the amount of time you spend chewing that picture of the bloodsucker makes you unable to comment on our public displays of affection."
"I do NOT kiss his picture all the time! And he has a name!"
"Really? I never knew! And all this time I just thought he was this sad loser who went around without a name, but I was wrong. Well, the sad loser part wasn't."
Isabelle's eyes narrowed again, and she gave Jace the look as if to say 'You're really gonna get it now!". If looks could kill, Jace would be deader than a dead guy who's grave exploded and sent the corpse to the sun. Which exploded.
"Someone's touchy," Jace remarked, pretending to back away. Isabelle's eyes narrowed even further. "Geez, Iz, if your eyes get any narrower they'll just be a straight line!" That was the final straw, Isabelle lunged forward and she grabbed Jace's shoulders and tried to wrestle him to the ground.
"Hey, back off! I know I'm so darn irresistible but I'm your adoptive brother!"
"That didn't stop you with Clary, now did it?"
Jace was not amused by Isabelle's comment. He dived forward and pushed her to the ground.
"Someone's touchy!" Isabelle mimicked Jace, in a high pitched tone. Jace and Isabelle continued to fight, knocking over many decorations and objects over in the process.
"Do they do this often?" Clary enquired.
"Only on alternate Tuesdays." Alec shrugged, checking his phone.
"I'm gonna steal all your weapons and take them to the recycling point to turn them into cans of soup!" Isabelle quipped, pulling at one of Jace's gold tresses.
"Well I'll put all your clothes in the same wash so the colours run and shrink so you can't wear them!" Jace retorted.
"Then I'll tie you up and give you an Isabelle style makeover!"
"Hah, I'll steal all your makeup and give it all to Magnus!"
They were so bust fighting that they didn't notice that Magnus had walked in the room.
"Ooh a present for me? How terribly generous of you. But unfortunately, Isabelle's mascara just wouldn't suit me, plus she has no glitter which is a sin." Magnus said. Isabelle and Jace took no notice.
"I guess you would rather roll around on the floor and try and kill each other rather than attend my HALLOWEEN PARTY. I'll just give your invitations to someone else then." Magnus sighed sarcastically, pretending to walk away.
"Halloween party?" Isabelle exclaimed and Jace groaned.
So, what did you think? I hope nobody seemed OOC.
Review and tell me what you think, should I continue?
