I'd like to thank HOATTSTHG for noticing a problehow here I called a character the wrong name. Top ten stupidest things I've ever done. Thanks though, everyone. Please enjoy!
TMI BELONGS TO CASSIE CLARE
"O.M.G. You look hot. Like really, really, hot."
I made the mistake of letting Isabelle dress me up for the party. Apparently Jace and Alec waving their hands in the air meant, 'Holy Christmas shit! Do not let Isabelle give you a makeover.' if only I knew earlier. I've been sitting in the hard chair in Izzy's room for over four hours.
"Well, I wouldn't know how I look because you won't let me see!" I protested.
"Oh shut up and put your dress on. Then you can look in the mirror." I rolled my eyes but did as she told me. I quickly spilled on the thin black dress.
I looked in the mirror and could believe what I saw. I wore a black dress with fabric pulling at my waist, making my chest look larger. On the pulled fabric the sequins were in a triangular manner. My hair was in beach waves and my green eyes were brought out by my smokey eyes. In other words I actually looked super hot. I laced up my heeled combat boots and shoved a seraph blade in my thigh sheath.
I looked over at Isabelle who smiled. Her black dress revealed a lot of skin in the back. Like a lot. But somehow Isabelle still managed to make it look as if it was a casual outfit.
Isbelle linked arms with me. "Let's go hotness." With that we walked down the hallway towards the stairs, arm in arm, where Jace and Alec were waiting.
Jace Wayland was gaping at me. The tiny, red-headed, short, freak. Isabelle was laughing beside me while Alec was smirking beside Jace. I blushed furiously, but then I decided to play with this oppertunity.
"Hey Jace, you'd better be closing your mouth. Don't want flies to go in there." I winked as I saw Jace close his mouth and smirk.
"Well," Alec stepped forward and opened the doors. "now that Jace is done being a pedophile lets go."
One after another we left for the party. About halfway to Magnus' Jace nudged me.
"You really do look amazing Em, like really good. Damn, maybe even better than me."
I laughed. "Jace are you sick or something? You just said I might be better looking than you."
"I'll get back to you on that." I paused for a moment wondering what Jace meant by that.
We all walked in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, until Alec spoke.
"We're here." I looked up and saw a normal looking town house.
"This is where the amazing Magnus warlock of Brooklyn lives?"
Alec, Jace, and Isabelle laughed. "Has anyone ever told you not to judge a book by its cover, Emma?" Isabelle questioned.
We made our way up the stairs never ending flight of stairs -that escalated about two stories high, and knocked on the door. We were welcomed by a sparkly Asian man. His eyes were like cats peirceing the night sky. He also had a lot of glitter on. Warlock, my instincts told me.
"Alec, Jace, Isabelle, and…" He looked at me in shock. He was about to say something before he looked behind me, his face turned into fear. "Demon!"
Understanding what he meant I yanked my Seraph blade from my thigh stealth. I named the blade and cut the arm of the demon. It screamed in pain. Before I had time to stab it and make it return to its damned home-land, another demon from my side picked me up. It was about to throw me. Panicked, I kicked the first demon down the steps and grabbed my knife that I snuck in the chest of my dress. I clutched the demon holding me and stabbed him. Being me, I failed to realize the 'thing' was holding me over the railing and when the demon died - and was returned to its home dimension, I fell about two stories.
"Em!" I faintly heard Isabelle screech. "Holy Shit, Emma!"
I was deadly scared of heights ever since my best friend, Simon and I got stuck atop of the roller coaster at Fun-World. Damn mechanics. I miss Simon with my heart, but when I moved in with Mike and Amber I never saw him again. He ignored calls and texts and I felt deep down it was for the better; he was high-class and I was a commoner .
I was pulled out of my train of thought when I saw the ground approaching.
"Shit! Damn the Angel!" I then plummeted to the pavement.
"Emma? Are you awake?"
"Is she awake?"
"I don't know Isabelle why don't you kick her to see?"
"Oh shut up Alec."
I stirred. "Ow. My damned head." I blinked furiously and was met by the smell of blood. "Am I dead?"
Jace came into view and picked me up. "I know that's what most girls think when they see my amazing looks, but no. You fell two stories from Magnus' front steps."
Jace lifted me in my arms and brought me into Magnus' townhouse. We entered and I felt all eyes on me. People paved the way for us, well not people; downworlders.
"Gray?" An anonymous voice erupted through the crowd.
"Simon? Is that you?" I looked up and saw Simon in the crowd. "Si!" I never got to see his face after that because Jace carried me into the back room with Alec, Magnus, and Izzy trailing behind.
Magnus shut the door behind us. "Clarissa Fray. My dear Angel, I thought you were dead! Oh god, you are alive!"
"Who's this Clarissa you speak of?" Jace asked with an even tone.
Magnus looked at me in the eye. Memories flooded my mind; meeting Magnus for the first time, the last time I saw him, and how he showed up at my old home only hours before Valentine's attack.
"Magnus." I paused. "Magnus Bane! I remember you. I just- you were with me when my parents died!"
Magnus nodded. "So it did work. Welcome back Clarissa Fray, or I should say Morgenstern."
I looked at Magnus. "What? Clarissa Morgenstern-" As soon as I said the words it was like my mind opened out memories.
I caught a few. It was late and I sat beside a lady who looked exactly like me and the man who killed my parents, Valentine Morgenstern. I remember training for vigorous hours. The the lady who looked like me running away from our house never returning. Months later she returns and saves me from Valentine. The memories end there, almost abruptly.
I had a life before. "I am Clarissa Morgenstern. Daughter of Valentine Morgenstern and Jocelyn Fairchild. I remember everything. But how… could this be?"
Magnus looked and me so carefully. "Please, let me explain." All I could do was nod. This was my fate, my destiny…my life.
