The children were confused. "Vampire strength", mumbled Jace. "Well that failed, why don't we just not talk to her and ignore her? It might work", Alec said. "You might be on to something, Alec", Jace said.
Robert was first to speak. "Your eyes are the same as Magnus Bane's, that must be her warlock mark." The girls' gold-green cat eyes looked at them, then she spoke,
"Non ho un nome, quale sarà?" She was speaking in Italian.
"Mysteria", Maryse said.
"Meaning secrets in Latin, your full name will be Mysteria Twilight Lunastella."
"What thing are you?" Jace had walked in with Alec and Izzy. "Jace don't." His mother said, but he kept going.
"You mean nothing to anyone here, so why don't you just go back to wherever you were before and stay away from my family." He got out his seraph blade. Mysteria laughed. "Do it", she said fiercely. "Stab it through my heart, and end this." Robert looked at her, she gave a look to say, trust me. Jace lunged forward with the blade.
With a click of her fingers, Jace froze, she laughed again. "You really thought I wasn't prepared for any of that to happen, Jace Wayland." She went up to him and pulled free the seraph blade. "I thought this blade was familiar, Wayland. She sliced the blade across her arm and then dropped it.
Mysteria whispered something into his ear and then walked off, leaving him frozen. Everyone stared after her in disbelief. A while later, she clicked her fingers again and had set free Jace. If only they knew, she thought. I'm only eight but they have no idea, any of them. Eight years of torture and needles.
