Chapter Two

Clary pulled her wrist free. "I should ask you the same thing, warlock." She spat the word at him, not feeling the venom in her voice.

Magnus Bane flinched. "No need for that tone. I'm just here because I heard about your mother. She was my friend, you know."

Clary looked down. "Right. I'm sorry."

Magnus just shrugged off her apology and asked, "How's life with your brother and father?"

Clary looked away. "I need to get to class. Excuse me."

Magnus shot her a confused look and let her go. "Have fun, Fairchild. Or should I say Morgenstern."

Clary shot him a sharp look and practically ran to class.

Magnus headed to his first class- science- when he spotted a seat next to a very handsome young man with blue eyes and black hair. He gasped and saw another blue eyed boy with black hair. Will. He blinked and Will was gone from sight. He knew Will had gotten in the way of one of Tessa's immortality spell. She claimed it was an accident, but neither of them had believed her. Jem had recently left the Silent Brothers, having found a cure, but Magnus hadn't heard from them since the battle with Valentine. Everyone assumed they were dead, but Magnus... Magnus figured they were bidding for time.

He sat down next to the boy anyways. He looked to the side and saw the boy staring at him.

"I'm Magnus," he said, nodding.

"Alec. Alec Lightwood. Do you have a last name?" The boy, Alec, inquired.

Magnus laughed and started to answer when the teacher interrupted.

"Mr. Bane? Can you come up and introduce yourself?"

Magnus walked up, not noticing the trail of glitter he was leaving. "Hello," he said.

Alec watched him, noticing he had a slight accent, but he couldn't say from where.

"I'm Magnus Bane, I'm from..." Magnus paused, as if he was trying to remember. "Um, I'm from the British Isles." Noticing the blank looks he added, "Indonesia."

"Oh," came from the class.

Magnus grinned and sat back by Alec.

Clary, unfortunately for her grades, had all of her morning classes with Jace, lunch too. He walked over to her while she was drawing and thinking about throwing her food at the lunch monitor.

"Hey, what are you drawing?" He asked.

She quickly shut her sketchbook and looked up as the three Lightwoods sat at her table, much to the astonishment of the other students. "It's nothing. Just sketching. I'd let you see, but it's like a diary, so..."

"I see." Jace looked like he understood, but she knew already that he was good at hiding things.

It was fun, having lunch with the Lightwoods and Simon, even though Simon and Isabelle kept staring at each other when the other person wasn't looking.

Thankfully, she had classes with Isabelle in the afternoon, and not Jace. Though. She would have taken Jace over what happened when her brother got home from football practice.

"Clary," he said, his voice cold.

"Johnathan," she replied, matching his tone.

"Glad to see you've gotten used to the place. Soon you won't even remember what your house with Jocelyn and Luke was like."

Clary flinched at the mention of her stepfather- a man who had ran off after the accident.

Johnathan sat down next to her on her bed. "I see. So, what can I do to make you feel better?" he asked, his hand trailing up and down her spine.

She stood up quickly. "Nothing. You can do nothing."

He just looked at her. "You know, it's a pity we're related. Though, why should it matter?"

"I'm sorry, what?!" Clary stared at her brother, disgusted.

He stood up, taking hold of her waist. "Honestly, I couldn't care less if we share the same blood. It doesn't matter. Even the pharaohs inbred." With that statement he leaned down and kissed her, hard, on the mouth.

She pushed away from him. "Get away from me!"

She tried to get past the door but he grabbed her wrist from behind and flung her onto the bed. "Come on, little sister. Do you honestly believe you can get away from me?"

She shrugged and kicked him in the stomach. He doubled over and she did the only sensible thing she could think of. She jumped out the window.
