Sorry it took so long. I was on vacation and had no chance of wifi. But i have a chapter ready and wifi, so here it is. I do want to thank nerdbookworm for all of the help. I did use an idea, so thank you. Here is the chapter!

Chapter 4

"Aline just texted me. She said Jia and the other higher-ups decided we should have a Shadowhunter Ball to celebrate the end of all of the trouble Sebastian caused. Isn't it exciting?" Isabelle set her phone down and looked at Jace and Clary, who were sitting on the couch across from her.

Just after Isabelle brought up Sebastian, Clary went very pale and looked at her hands in her lap. Jace gave Isabelle a look that said can you be careful of what you say and pulled Clary to him. Maryse walks through the door in a hurry. "Clary, you will have to tell your mom that we are going to Idris for a Shadwhunter Ball, you are required to be there. Isabelle, text Alec and tell him to come home home, he is to come to Idris with us. This note says that Isabelle Lightwood, Alec Lightwood, Jace Herondale, and Clary Fairchild are to attend a Ball to celebrate the end of the Dark War. I have to make sure all the shadowhunters in my jurisdiction know about the Ball. And its this weekend!" She hurries back out the door, but yells "Make sure you text your brother!" before she is completely gone.

Well, that was fast. The Clave must really miss me." Jace says as Clary stands.

"You know they would rather it was anyone but you who saved the world from my brother. But it was you, and they have to deal with it." Clary responds, digging for her phone in her pocket. "I have to call Mom and Luke." She leaves Isabelle and Jace in the Library.

Isabelle stands, and gathers her phone. "I am going to pick out a dress. Alec is on his way home. He was in bed with Magnus though, so it will be a while." she says with a smirk tugging at her lips and srolled away.

Maybe while she was in Idris she would se Simon. She decided that if she did have the chance to see him, she would look ten times better than she already does. What if she can find out more about if her mom cheated on her dad? She could find out if Robert was her dad or not. She hoped he was. After seeing what Jace went through this past year, she didn't want to do the same. But wasnt she putting herself through that same thing. She was the only person questioning her parentage.

Once she was in her room, she started going through her closet. She had this beautiful dress in mind. It was a black tank top and had a black sequined belt. The skirt was floor length and black and white swirled. it was a wide dress that reminded her somewhat of the Victorian fashions. It flowed all over and looked amazing on her. That dress with her 5 inch black stilettos would be awesome.

There was a knock on the door. Isabelle opened it to find Clary looking at her. She almost looked lost, the way she was looking at her.

"Um, for the ball, do you have any dresses that might fit me? I don't have any, or any money to buy one." She seemed sad about this. Like she was an outsider, even though she was the closest thing to a sister Isabelle had.

"Yeah. I have one that might fit you." Isabelle walked across a fluffy pink rug to her closet. The closet was huge. She dug around for a minute then pulled out a long, wide, sparkly gold dress. It was tight fitting and strapless dow to the waist, then fluffed out very wide.

"This was what I wore for a wedding when I was younger." Isabelle said with a smile.

"Its gorgeous, Isabelle!" Clary squealed. She grabbed the dress and walked away saying "Thank you" over her shoulder and closing the door. At times she made Isabelle think of her as a little sister because of how she was so ignorant about how things worked with shadowhunters still, but other times Isabelle felt like the younger sister because Clary didn't let other people change who she was. She didn't just fit in, like everyone else. She didn't want to fit in, if she sis that was fine, but if not, she didn't care.

~oO0Oo~

Magnus looked at Alec's phone which just vibrated on the table. Alec was in the shower, so Magnus picked up the phone and read the text. Isabelle messaged him. It said: There is a Shadowhunter Ball in Alicante. You have to come. It is this Saturday. Mom said you need to come to the institute as soon as possible.

"What are you doing?" Alec was standing in the doorway to the kitchen.

"Your sister messaged you. You have to go to Idris." Magnus looked joyless. He wasn't looking forward to Alec leaving.

"Oh" Alec frowned. He didnt really like going to Idris. Everyone looked at him like he didnt belong, because he was gay.

"You should probably go soon, it is Thursday." Magnus said. "Yeah. You can come with me though." Alec responded.

They got to the institute and all of Alec's nice clothes were in his closet, so they went up and packed.

"We are leaving tomorrow morning." Maryse said walking into the room.

"Alright." Alec said with a smile at his mom. She smiled back and left the room.

"Well I guess this is it." Magnus said

Alec didn't want to leave him, but he also didn't want to push him and be around him too much. Magnus walked up to him and kissed him slowly on the lips. He would miss him, but that would make their relationship all the better when he returned. "I'll see you when we get back." Alec said, wishing that he wouldnt even have to say goodbye.

"Absolutely. Magnus eye twinkled with glittered eyeliner as he winked. He walked out the door and left Alec to get ready to go.

So how was it? Leave a review. Let me know what you think. Don't know when I'll have WiFi again, so please be patient with me. Hopefully I'll get to Sizzy in the next chapter.

Until Next Time...
