W/M:
HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE! I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD 2014! I WISH YOU JOY AND HOPEFULLY MALEC! (THE 21ST OF JANUARY! EPPPPPP!)
Okay, I'm back! I went to see 'The Light Princess' for my Christmas present! It was amazing! Oh my goodness, but the truly awful thing is I can't listen to the music because none of it has been released and it isn't on Youtube! And, I still don't know if I'm Lagobel or Sealander (Sealander has Digby *smiles wickedly* aw, Digby)
Anyway, I have two important questions at the bottom, so if you could reply that would be awesome!
This chapter's thingy-ma-bob is:

Chapter 7
'I think we're ready.' Magnus sighed as he flopped into a chair in the common room, the borrowed servants immediately stood up as they were supposed to, they looked in horror when Magnus' servants did not stand for their master.
'We should be, and it should be amazing!' Izzy smiled.
'Well, we can't enjoy it too much, we still have work to do.' Jocelyn looked at Izzy for the last part, she rolled her eyes.
'Oh! For The Angel's sake! Sit down!' Magnus yelled at the loaned servants, 'and wipe those horrified looks off your faces, you're not going to spontaneously combust!' With that they all sat down, but Magnus noted, far away from him, ignoring that (and the hurt he felt) he turned to his servants. 'Jocelyn, what are we to do about food?'
'I believe, Jocelyn and I are to be cooking.' Jia Penhallow spoke up looking nervous.
'Really? Jia apparently your food in legendary. I'm looking forward to it.' Magnus smiled at the woman, genuinely happy, she smiled back blushing slightly at the compliment.
'If you need help, I can lend a hand!' Izzy exclaimed.
'NO!' Jace yelled, as Alec waved his hands around in a no/stop motion, causing the rest of the Shadowhunters – minus Isabelle – to laugh. 'People, actually value their lives, Izzy.'
'My cooking isn't that bad!' Izzy yelled, as she got up and stormed out of the room scowling. Alec sighed dramatically, and was about to get up when Jace pulled him back down and whispered something the others couldn't hear.
'I think we should leave her a while, let the storm blow over.' Magnus said quietly just as Clary appeared from the kitchen holding trays full of food.
'It's not much, but I think we all need food.' she smiled as she put the food down and they all tucked in.
How dare they? The servant thought as she fled the common room, stupid Jace! Izzy didn't know where she was going, she had many choices in Magnus' three story – plus the basement – house. I'll show them one day that I can, in fact, cook. It'll be the best meal of their lives and they'll say they're sorry that they insulted me before. Every great cook has a few failures before their grand success. Isabelle was so wrapped up in thought she barely heard the doorbell ring, as she stormed right past it. Judging by the commotion from the common room, she knew they couldn't hear it, so she opened the door, ready to give the person a piece of her mind, when it went blank.
'Oh, hi.' The curly haired vampire, smiled.
'What do you want Simon, because I have to find a place to sulk in.' She snapped, her mind no longer unclear, she studied him. He wore jeans, and a green t-shirt saying Lord of the Cats – furrllowship of the ring with lots of cats – one had a beard, hat and staff.
'Can we discuss this inside?'
'Fine.' She snapped, marching inside and then shutting the door behind the Daylighter.
'Well, I wanted to talk to The Magnificent Magnus Bane.'
'Well, he's busy right now.' She snapped sassily.
'Can I wait?'
'No. But I can take a message for him.'
'Okay.' They stood in awkward silence for a few seconds before Simon try to right the wrong, 'Look, Isabelle. I'm sorry if I have offended you by not calling or visiting or whatever. But-'
'But what? You're a Downworlder and are too high and mighty to even talk to a Shadowhunter, let along date one! Because that doesn't stop Magnus!' she froze, she knew she shouldn't have said that, she knew no matter how angry she shouldn't tell people about Magnus and her brother. She couldn't bear to think what would happen to them.
'Well, Magnus can talk to you all he wants, he's your master. Do you know how frowned upon any communication with someone else's servants is?' Simon seemed to miss the bit about dating a Shadowhunter, she almost sighed in relief.
'Yes I do. But that didn't stop you in the park.'
'No one could see us in the trees.'
'Oh, so that why you did it. I have been wondering that for weeks now, so glad I know.' Her voice oozed sarcasm.
'No. I did it because I wanted to.'
'Oh, so you don't want to now. Well, I'm not here for your own personal revolution against your own kind, so. I guess goodbye Simon. I think really do hate you.' Her voice was bitter, she knew it was wrong but she had liked Simon a little too much. Since the day in the day in the, park she couldn't stop but think of him. She opened the door.
'Isabelle, it's not like that. I didn't mean too…. I'm sorry.' He tried to explain as she pushed him out the door, closing it behind her. She stormed off to the library. Only when she had a cook book in her hands, tears flowing down her face, did she realise she never got the message…
It was late that evening and Alec was still awake and in the common room. Izzy had come back and apologised as had he and Jace, and then promptly went to bed, her eyes were puffy and red – Alec made a mental note to ask her about it in the morning. The rest of the servants had in order to be well rested for tomorrow, because Magnus' parties ran late. But, Alec's sporadic insomnia was active, hence why he was awake. He heard the telephone ring, which also meant Magnus was awake and went and answered it.
'Alec is that you?' Magnus' tired voice asked, Alec made a clicking sound to say yes. 'Good. Can you come up here? I need a pillow.' He hung up. Quickly Alec grabbed a pillow from the cupboard and pretty much ran up the stairs missing the creaky one.
Once he got to Magnus' bedroom door he couldn't help but smile, he put his hand on the handle and heard a creaking sound behind him. He turned quickly, but all he saw was dimness and the moon faintly shining through the window in the main entrance. Frowning to himself and blaming it on his lack of sleep, he opened Magnus' door and stepped inside.
'Yay! My pillow!' Magnus called from the canary yellow bed. His green cat eyes followed the Shadowhunter as he approached and handed him pillow, which Magnus frowned at. 'I don't want that pillow.' Alec's shoulders slumped forward in defeat.
'I guess you'll have to be my pillow.' Magnus smiled, looking at his boyfriend's face, and the faint blush that had painted his cheeks – Alec realised Magnus had planned this. 'Come on, dear. I don't bite. Well, unless you want me too.' He enjoyed the crimson now splashed on the pink, as he moved across the bed making room for the Shadowhunter. Reluctantly Alec pushed off his shoes and climbed in, already in his pyjamas. Magnus put his head of Alec's chest and his arms hugged the boy as he felt Alec's strong arms embrace him. 'I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about you, you'll be my end you know.' He felt Alec laugh, and enjoy the vibrations it sent through his chest. 'You make a wonderful pillow.' He yawned and Magnus wasn't sure if it was his semi-conscious mind or if it was real but he thought he heard Alec whisper,
'Go to sleep now, Magnus.'
W/M: Okay, what did you think? I'm sorry it's a bit shorter. I also apologise for it not being the party but I wanted to get these bits in. By the way the snippet was invalid for this chapter but it's in the party next chapter.
Right, important questions I said about in the top note:
1. Shall I do the plot I had in mind for this story?
I have hinted at it a few times, I actually have no clue if I want to do it because it sounds similar to The Hunger Games and Arena 1 (and Arena 2) but it doesn't require death. So I don't know.
2. Do you like the name Sera or Kegan?
It's for a Fire Master – he has red hair, orangey eyes, he is muscly and attractive but a great general, and fighter/hero thingy. He is quite guarded because he is convinced people will hate him, but he's sweet as well (though only Erion (aw) gets to see it)
Okay, if you could let me know on both of them that would be great (either PM or review) Thank you!
