A/N: Chapter 3! I was thinking about what to write in this chapter in geography today ;) Yes, it's rather predictable. But I hope you like it anyway :) pleeeease review. =]
Chapter 3:
Magnus absent-mindedly twirled a stray hair in his fingers. Usually he would have cried out in horror and rushed to the mirror, reaching for the hair product. However, this time was different. Magnus was waiting.
The doorbell rang.
He smiled.
Clary rang the doorbell to Magnus' apartment. It was twilight, and the sky was cloudy, hiding any moonlight. Her fiery red curls glowed under the light of the street lamp, and her skin was as pale as ever. When Magnus opened the door he welcomed her.
"Clary! Come in, it's so good to see you." Clary wanted to raise her eyebrow, but as she couldn't she simply stepped inside and closed the door behind her.
"Err… hi."
She followed Magnus into the lounge, taking the pink-tinted glass.
"Drink? How about a white wine to begin a pleasant evening?"
She nodded, disturbed by the way Magnus was acting. Taking a sip of the wine, which was sweet and delicious, she sat.
"So…err… Magnus. What is this about? I presume it's not a social call?"
"No, my darling, not really." He smiled seductively (whether he intended it to be seductive or not.) Just sit back, and relax. I will explain it all later."
Clary was about to answer, but she felt her eyes beginning to close. Sleep invited her. And the last face she saw was the smiling face of the warlock as she drifted into dreams.
As Magnus carried Clary into the spare room, and lay her next to the sleeping Jace, he convinced himself he was doing the right thing. Jace obviously could not walk in on Magnus' plan. Clary would undoubtedly be too hurt to witness it.
No matter how much he disliked the golden-eyed Shadowhunter, he would never wish to bring misery onto him by hurting his love. Magnus was out to hurt no one.
But he knew that the pain brought onto himself would be too much to bare, if the answer he wished with all his might to hear did not come true.
A/N: Yes, it's short again! I'm sorry, I just can't do long chapters. I don't do rambling. Please review! Chapter 4 may be tonight or tomorrow. Depends how long it is ;) latersss.
