Hey there! I'm back again with a new chapter! This one takes place just a little while after the last one. As always, please review! (a few surprises might reappear in this chapter.)

2011- Idris

Clary's POV

Idris was the place to go when things were trying to get better. I was charged with creating a new book of runes, and Idris was where I would have to stay in order to create those runes and get them approved by the Clave. Magnus and Alec came along, as did Isabelle and Simon. We had stayed there for about three weeks, and by this point I just wanted to go home. As a celebration for the new book of runes, the Clave decided to hold a party the last night. That was where we were currently going.

I came into the small living space Amatis's old home, which we had been staying in. According to Luke, she would have wanted up to stay there. "Jace, mind zipping my dress?" I asked while struggling to put up my hair. He came behind me and zipped up the light green dress, which reminded me so much of my late brother. "You look so amazing in green. But I know this is hard for you. Some ghosts never die." He whispered in my ear before zipping it all the way. I added a tiny bit of makeup and we left.

Arriving to the ball, Isabelle immediately found us and crushed me into a hug. "Clary! That dress is beautiful! I finally got Simon out of that Star Wars tee and into a dress shirt." She whispered and I laughed. "Call me if he's too much of a hassle." I laughed with her and she took my arm, walking to the drinks. Her dress was a navy blue, with straps and a low neckline to show her ruby. Her arms were adorned with runes, crystals and her electrum whip, and her Lightwood ring sat promptly on her finger. The clack of heels against the granite made out presence stand out. People stared in awe, a few whispering out names. I looked around the crowd to find the passing of blonde locks and a scar up her arm. Emma Carstairs. "I'll be back in a minute Iz, I have to go talk to Emma." She looked around. "Emma is here? I thought she would be at the institute." I nodded no, and Isabelle didn't remove her arm.

"Clary, I want to go with you." I nodded and we set off to find her.

Emma's POV

Clary Fairchild was here, as was Jace Herondale, Isabelle Lightwood, Simon Lovelace, Alec Lightwood-Bane and Magnus Bane. I wanted to say hello, but Clary looked busy with Isabelle. I wondered off to find Julian, as the kids were at home with Malcom Fade who promised to take care of them for a night. "Emma!" Clary's voice called, and I turned to see Clary standing in the hall, and Isabelle leaning on the staircase, looking at her painted nails. "Hey Clary, how are you?" I asked awkwardly. Julian was good in these moments. "Good, and you?" she asked and I nodded. Isabelle looked up and smiled at me, which I returned.

"Emma?" Julian called from the opposite end of the hall. "Jules, down here!" I called back and he walked out. It had taken everything to find formal wear for his teenage body. He smiled and I grabbed his hand. Need some help? He traced and I smiled. Clary and Isabelle watched the exchange, exchanging glances of their own.

"I was on my way to find Jem, he said he was going to talk to us about something? It seems Tessa may have found something out about your parents." Julian explained and I nodded. "I'll talk to you later Clary, Isabelle." I waved, and ran off down the hall.

Julian POV

Clary and Isabelle had a suspicion, just as Jace did. "Clary, thank you for keeping in touch with her. Your call help." She nodded and smiled. "Of course, but Julian I can see you're in trouble or hurting. Do you need to talk?" I nodded no immediately. I didn't need more people getting involved. "Isabelle, congratulations on Simon's ascension." She smiled, the red lipstick she wore gleaming. "Thanks, and congrats on the Parabatai bond with Emma" I nodded. "You know, Julian, Alec and Jace are so close, and years ago Alec felt a bit differently about Jace than Jace did about Alec. But now everything is even and it all worked out." She explained. "Yeah I know, but that doesn't apply to me. Emma is with someone else, and I'm focused on my family. There isn't any other feelings between us other than friendship." I spattered quickly. She nodded and I excused myself. "Well, I better get going. Nice seeing you both." The waved and I left.

Clary's POV

"There is a love stronger than just friendship between those two. If the Clave finds out things will get bad." Izzy whispered. I nodded. "I know, Jace and I noticed it on out last visit. If we try to hide it for them then maybe things won't go as bad. Things are changing Izzy." She nodded and we walked back to the party. Now that people were starting to notice we needed to start calling more. I wouldn't let those kids get hurt any worse.

Anyone's POV

Jonathan Christopher Morganstern watched from the outside of the Clave ball as Emma cried on Julian's shoulder. Julian patted her head and hugged her close. He kissed her head as she continued sobbing. They had found nothing about her parents, and this was the anniversary of their death. They cursed his name, when he didn't even kill them.

The young woman stood behind him. Her glasses down on her nose and her shirt soaked with blood. "Give the lovebirds time. They must think about their actions. It looks innocent enough for the Clave." She smiled and Jonathan, which was filled with the love he should have had when he was born, kissed her forehead. "My dove, we should get back. Things are getting quite interesting and I don't want to miss a ball I never got a chance to attend. He smiled and she led him away, her hair bellowing in the wind. The same shade his sisters was, only a slight strawberry where Clary's was fire.

"I love you, darling." He smiled and looked back to see Emma asleep, and Julian whisper to the wind. Jonathan would never know what he said, but he would keep an eye out for the kid. Things were tough for people who didn't fit the mold of a shadowhunter, Jonathan knew that best. "Goodnight young Julian and Emma, and good luck."

The girl dragged him, "Come on Jon! We are going to be late!" she giggled and he kissed her, leaving.
