Magnus was out, as he was going to find Camille. Why would she offer that to Alec? Would she have anything to gain from it?
He jumped onto the platform at the subway station, and slowly walked up the stairs. He thought of Alec walking up here with him, but he pushed it from his mind. He couldn't get emotion right now.
He made it to the top, to see a little girl with a pink shirt on, that had a unicorn on it. She wore a pink scarf dipped in blood, but not human blood. Vampire blood. She was thin, no older then thirteen.
"Where's Camille?"
"You're the second person to come here, in the last few days. Why does Camille have so many men coming here? But I wouldn't mind to inherit you as well." The girl laughed a silver laughter, like a bell. "But Camille is gone. She isn't here anymore."
"Inherit? And where did she go? Who are you?" Magnus backed up. A thirteen year old was hitting on him… An immortal warlock. Not exactly a dream date of Magnus'.
"Why yes, inherit." She laughed the silver laugh again. "I'm Maureen," She said. "Simon's Maureen," She added hastily.
"Well, hello Maure- Err, I mean Simon's Maureen." Magnus said. "Where has Camille gone off to?"
"She's gone to the blood bank in the sky." Maureen said. Her face was covered in dried blood, the ruby color of a vampire's blood.
"She was killed?" Magnus said, stunned. "By who?"
"Me, of course!" Maureen said.
"You're the head of the New York Clan?"
"Of course! And you know what I'm about to do?"
Magnus shook his head.
"Feed on my first human!" Maureen jumped at Magnus, trying to grab his neck.
Alec woke up in The Alley… It was oddly warm. And was that the smell of… Bacon? Alec opened his eyes, and saw Jasper in the corner, with a skillet over a fire. He had Bacon and eggs in it. But the odd thing was, the fire wasn't touching the ground…
Jasper's hand was under the skillet, the flames coming from his hand.
He look toward Alec. "Oh, hey. Morning sunshine." He grinned.
Alec must have looked panicked, because Jasper stopped the flames, and sat the skillet down.
"How…How…"
"Magic." He grinned again. Alec noticed he had a tooth missing.
"So you're a Shadowhunter who can do magic…?"
"Any mortal could, so I can. It's just a simple flame spell. Want some bacon?"
Magnus pinned Maureen's arms behind her back. She bit wildly at the air, her fangs extended.
Magnus hold her arms with one hand, and held out his other hand in the air beside him.
"Apparuerit: funem" A rope appeared in Magnus' hands. He hog tied Maureen.
"Why are you doing this to me?!"
"Uh, I don't know, maybe because you tried to drink my blood?"
"No, that's not it…" She laughed again, but was hesitant this time. She looked up at Magnus In fear. "Are you going to leave me here?"
"Yeah." Magnus said. "Someone will come for you." Magnus shoved his hands in his pockets, and walked away.
After Jasper made Alec choke down some food from his grubby skillet, Alec started asking questions.
"So you know spells?"
"Yeah."
"Like with spell books?"
"Yeah." He said again.
"Where would you buy one?"
"Yea- I mean, at almost every book store. Like those spell books that every thinks are fake? There real. But most mortals don't do them right, that's why they don't work."
"Oh." Alec was done with his questions, even if his mind was still filled with them.
Jasper laid back against the wall. His eyes closed.
Alec Stood up and walked out of The Alley, and started walking toward Clary's. He needed to talk to Luke and Jocelyn.
