Clary's POV

When I went back to where my brother's body was, I used my magic to burn his body. Can't be too careful with him. I snapped my fingers and the ashes teleported to Lake Lyn.

"Now there is only Valentine left." Magnus said. "You took care of the worst of the two."

"I know." I look over at him. "I just hope that the shadow hunters don't tell anyone what happened especially Hodge Starkweather." Magnus nodded.

"Go to sleep. I'll clean up by myself."

"Alright. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Biscuit."

I went into my room. I grabbed the Morgenstern ring that I took from my brother and put it on a chain so I can wear it. I put the ring that is now a necklace down on my dresser.

I change out of my clothes to my pajamas. I took off the makeup and went to bed.

Izzy's POV

When we get outside, we headed to the Institute. So the mundie is actually a warlock and a shadow hunter. Cool! I can't believe she gave me her number.

"Hey Izzy what did Clary give you?" Alec asked me.

"Her number with her name." I reply

"Really?" Jace asked and I think I hear a hint of jealousy.

"Yes. Now are we going to tell anyone about her?" I ask my brothers.

"I don't know. Let's meet with her again and then tell." Jace said.

"Might as well. I mean we won't be able to get answeres to our questions if the Clave has her." Alec said.

"Wait." I think back to when we talked to Clary. "How did she know our names?"

"Well we will have to ask her that when we meet again." Alec says.

"When should we meet with her?" I ask.

"How about tomorrow night at 7?" Alec says.

"It's perfect!" I tell them and we arrive at the Institute.

We enter and go to the elevator. When the elevator doors open, we see our parents and little brother.

"Where were you three?" Our mother, Maryse, asked us.

"At a party. And before you jump to conclusions we were invited." I say giving her the invitation.

"You went to a warlock's party?!" She asked shocked after she looked at the invitation.

"Yes we all did." Jace said calmly.

"Why?" Our father, Robert, asked.

"To get some information." Alec said.

"What kind of information?" Dad asked.

"Well the demons we catch always say that Valentine is alive so we went to the party to see if any downworlders know anything about if he is alive or not." He replies.

"Is he alive?" Mom asked.

"That is undetermined." Jace said.

"Alright all of you to your rooms." Mom said.

We went to our rooms. I got changed into my pajamas and went to bed.

Clary's POV

I woke up at 5 am and got ready. I have a feeling that today will have a few interesting events. I have thirteen clients and it goes from 6 am - 9 pm. And I get few breaks in between them. I put on the clothes that I wear for clients: gold shirt, silver pants, black boots, and warlock robes. I put my necklaces, rings, and a silver ear cuff on. As an after thought I put on the Morgenstern ring.

When I got done my phone rings. I pick my phone up and it says 'Unknown number'. I answered it on the third ring.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Hi Clary! It's me Izzy!" Izzy says through the phone.

"What can I do for you?"

"I was wondering if you would like to go to Taki's at 7 tonight." She says and I hear two other people's breath.

"Sorry Izzy I can't." I tell her thinking about my client that I have at 7:10 tonight.

"Why?" A male's voice says.

"Jace, shut up!" Izzy said and I chuckle.

"I can't because I have clients. They start in less then an hour and ends at nine tonight." I tell them simply.

"Don't you have time in between?" A different male voice says.

"I do. But it isn't that long and some of my clients will take a few hours to deal with." I reply.

"How many clients?" Izzy asked curiously.

"Thirteen." I say simply. "And bye I have to get going."

"Bye!" Izzy said.

"Bye." Jace says.

"Bye." Alec says and I hang up.

I leave my room and tell Magnus that I was leaving. I walk out the door to meet with my first client of the day.

9 pm

After I get done with last client, I headed home. I am too drained to portal and I left my steele at home. I get to my apartment complex and go to my apartment.

I open the door and relock it. I go to the living room to lay down on the couch. I stretch out and Chairman Meow jumps on my chest.

I scratched behind his ear and he purred. "Hello to you to!" I tell him.

The buzzer goes off and Magnus goes over to it. Me bellows out his usual line, "WHO DARES DISTURB THE HIGH WARLOCK OF BROOKLYN?"

"It's Izzy, Alec, and Jace. Is Clary there?" I heard Izzy say.

"Send them up." I tell Magnus.

He pushes a button to let the shadow hunters up. "Go through the door." I heard footsteps and the door opened. "Don't yell at her or have her use magic." Dad tells them and I roll my eyes.

He moves out of the way and back to his room. The shadow hunters walk into the living room to where I am. When they see what I am wearing, they stop.

"What are you wearing?!" Izzy asked me like I broke a fashion law.

"Warlock robes." I tell her.

"That's a lot of jewelry." Jace said and I rolled my eyes.

"Anyway, why are you here?" I asked them.

"For some answers." Alec said.

"Okay but did you tell anyone about me?" I asked and they shook their heads. "Good. Now shoot." I say and close my eyes knowing that Chairman Meow will be my eyes.

"You said your brother had demon blood is that true?" Alec said.

"Yes. He was still in our mother's womb. Valentine summoned the demoness Lilith. He put her blood in the mortal cup and injected it into him. His life was ruined before he was even born." I say the last part sadly and open my eyes.

"If you knew about the Book of White and the angel why didn't you deal with it and how did you know?" Izzy asked.

"I knew about the Book of White from the warlock Ragnor Fell and my mother. They told me where to find it. I knew about the angel because if you have a blood connection with an angel said angel can communicate with the one that has the blood connection. He sent me dreams and I had to figure out what they meant. I couldn't deal with it until one of the Morgenstern men were dead. That way there was less of a chance of getting caught." I told them seriously.

"How did you know I'm a Herondale?" Jace asked.

"There are three experiments. My brother, the Herondale baby, and me the accidental experiment. When Celine Herondale was pregnant Valentine gave her food and drinks infused with angel blood. She killed herself because of grief that her husband, Stephen Herondale, died. She was eight months pregnant when she died. Valentine didn't want the angel blood to go to waste so he cut you out of the womb and raised you. He raised you as Michael Wayland and faked his death for the second time." I put Chairman Meow on the ground and got up. I walked over to Jace and took his hand that has a ring on. I take off the ring and turn it the right way. "Funny how when a 'M' is upside down it looks like a 'W'." I tell him.

He takes the ring from me and looks at it. He throws it down on the ground. "No he couldn't have been Valentine."

"Two of the three experiments were raised by Valentine. He gave them Morgenstern rings. He taught the Herondale boy: 'to love is to destroy and to be loved is to be the one destroyed.'" I told him. "Don't beat yourself up."

"How did you know our names?" Alec cuts in and I go back to the couch.

"I know about all the shadow hunters in New York." I say and lay down. "Oh! Hodge Starkweather, be careful around him. He was and still is a circle member." I added the last part as a warning.

"How do you know?" Izzy asked me skeptically and Chairman Meow jumped on my chest.

"I know all the circle members. Dead or alive." I say.

"Clary how old are you?" Jace asked.

"16." I say simply. "Any more questions?"

"Where is Valentine?" Izzy asked.

"At the Morgenstern Manor." I reply.

"Do you lie about your age to your clients?" Jace asked me.

"Hell yes!" I practically yelled.

"It's getting late we should go." Alec said.

"Wait!" I put the Chairman down and walked over to them. "Do all of you have my number?"

"I do but they don't." Izzy said.

"Then give me your phones. All of you." They gave me their phones reluctantly. I put my number in Jace and Alec's phone and put their numbers in my phone. "Here you go. Now all of you have my number and I have yours!" I give them there phones back. "Bye! Remember to not tell anyone about me and I will answer any questions you have!"

"Bye Clary!" Izzy said.

"Bye." Alec said.

"Goodbye." Jace said and they left.

I go to my room and change into a tank top and shorts. I lay down thinking about the three shadow hunters. 'We will be great friends.' With that thought I fall asleep.

An: I think Jace still needs some more convincing that he is a Herondale. The shadow hunters got some more answers an they still might need more. Thanks for reading!
