Miss me? Anyways ENJOY! P.S. Longer A/N at the end of this...

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS.


"Woah, stop right there…You don't even know what this is about yet. Guess I'll just have to explain…"

"When I was your age, I created this society called 'The Circle', a society where a group of Shadowhunters were led my me. My…Our goal was to banish all demons and Downworlders! Unfortunately, the day that we were going to finish them off, things didn't go as planned…Traitors that pretended to be loyal… Even my wife was against me!"

"He shouldn't be surprised…" Clary whispered to Jace.

"SILENCE!" The Master bellowed.

Wow, for a guy with hearing like a dog should come in handy all the time…Clary thought while rolling her eyes.

"Now that's better…. Where was I? Oh right. As I was saying, my wife betrayed me, in fact a lot of the others fled for their lives when the plan didn't worked out… Curse that Downworlder! Well of course I didn't give up on my dream. This failure only made me wanting more… So here I am, with a fresh, new generation of Shadowhunters who are ambitious! We unite for the same reason-conquer the Shadow World, have no one stop us anymore…"

"Sorry if I'm not keeping up, but what does this have to do with me exactly?" Clary interrupted.

"Well well well… Seems like our little prisoner here is just as innocent as she looks. Okay, listen carefully… In order for us to conquer the Shadow World, first we need all three of the Mortal Instruments. We know where two of them are located, only one remains missing - The Mortal Cup. As always, news among Downworlders travel fast. Word has it that the one who knows anything about this is the one whose surname is Fray. "

"So you guys heard a rumour or so, then immediately think that person is me? I'm sorry but I think you all got the wrong person. I've just known about whatever these Shadow thingies are a few…moments or days ago and these stuff is really starting to creep me out…"

"Miss Fray, please do not lie if you do know something… Consequences are what you'll face if you do not tell the truth…" The Master said getting impatient.

"I'm not lying! If I did know something, I would have told you earlier to get out of here!"

"You disappoint me, Clary… Jace, call the High Warlock of Brooklyn, tell him there's something we need him to take care of and we will pay the price of whatever he desires. "

"Yes, Master. What do we do about the girl?"

"About that, just take her to the library. Whatever I need the warlock to do will take place there. Before I forget, keep an eye her, we won't want her scurrying off before we have evidence…"

"Wait, who's the High Warlock of Brooklyn? What do you want to do with me? Why-" Clary demanded while struggling of Jace's grip before he dragged her to the library.


"So that guy with glitter all over is the High Warlock of Brooklyn? That just makes it more reassuring…" Clary whispered to Jace as the warlock entered the library.

"Yes. His name is Magnus Bane by the way." He replied.

"Magnus? Is that even a name?"

"Well how nice of someone to take an interest of my name…" The warlock suddenly said then turned to face the Master. "So this, is what you want me to take care of?" The warlock questioned.

"Yes, Magnus." The Master replied.

"Okay… but she is just an ordinary mundane. What would you want with her?"

"She is a Shadowhunter, one that doesn't have any training. Well, it seems she knows something, only too stubborn to tell…"

"I've already told you, I don't know anything! You're now just accusing me of something!" Clary shouted with anger.

"Well, she really is as stubborn as you said… and really loud I might add. So let me guess, you want me to go through her mind and get the information that you expect to find in it?" Magnus said to the Master.

"Yes, how good of you to know what I'm thinking. So can you do it?"

"I'm the High Warlock of Brooklyn. What magic is there that I cannot do?"

"My apologies then for doubting your abilities. You may start now."

"Thank you. " Magnus said before walking towards Clary.

"You have beautiful red hair, young Shadowhunter… It would be such a pity if you die in shock when I go through your mind…" Magnus said to Clary.

"Wait, what?! I will die?"

"No no, I was just joking. However, you might feel a slight bit of pain during the process. After effects will include dizziness, vomiting or worse - you might end up in a coma."

"That was a joke, right?"

"This time no… I'm dead serious. Well, let get on with it! It's not like I'm getting younger every minute."

"I thought warlocks are immortal beings?"

"Yes, we are. I just said that to make it more…dramatic." Magnus said while smirking.

Clary was instructed to sit on a chair facing towards Magnus. After she did, Magnus started the procedures. He put both of his index fingers on the sides of Clary's head. As minutes pass, everyone in the room saw Clary squirming every once in a while but Magnus was just frowning throughout the process as if something was wrong.

After what seemed like hours, Magnus finally open his eyes then removed his fingers away from Clary's head.

"It's done."

"So where is The Mortal Cup?" The Master asked immediately.

"It seems I've wasted my magic on a complete nothing."

"What do you mean nothing? Doesn't the girl know something?"

"It looks like she's telling the truth."

"Hah, in your face!" Clary exclaimed while doing a happy little dance but stopped instantly after The Master glared at her.

"Well I'm really sorry that I wasted your time here, Magnus."

"Wait, so can I go back home now?" Clary asked.

"Hmm… Let me think about it, I have other plans for you in mind… Jace, bring her back to the dungeons for now, until there are orders to move her to a different place."

"Yes, Master. Come along now, little girl…"

"I've already told you, my name is not lit-" Clary and Jace's argument continued while walking out of the room. After the door slammed behind them, The Master said, "I sense there's still something you haven't told me yet…"

"Yes. Instead of finding what you wanted, I found something much more interesting… "


Okay, like I promised in last A/N, I've written several chapters during the two weeks that I'm away - 3 chapters and a half! Still working on editing the chapters, because I've got MANY facts wrong without reference from the internet. (I've got a confession to make - I've only read 'City of Bones' and half of 'City Of Ashes'... So I get most of the facts from Shadowhunter Wikia...) Anyways, LOVE THE FEEDBACK FROM YOU GUYS! Keep them coming :D

P.S. When I started writing this FF, I didn't know what Jace's surname should be so I used 'Wayland' but now if you check it again, it's 'Herondale' now. Look out for the next chapter :) YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
