"Hi you must be Alexander. I'm Luna. Luna Bellewright from the Canadian institute."

"Uh hi" I shake her outstretched hand. She slightly smiles "Umm no offense but you look like you really need a shower." Jace burst out laughing "The lady has a good point Alec." I give him a nasty look.

"I'm sorry, Luna right?" she nods "I'm just going to go and get cleaned up I'll...I'll see you later" With that I quickly go into my room just as I close the door but not before I catch a glimpse of Jace giving me a thumbs up.


I take a quick shower and put on a pair of black jeans with a grey shirt. I look down at my boring outfit and wonder what Magnus is wearing today. Probably something sparkly or maybe something rainbow I blush remembering his rainbow boxers. No, I need to focus he's just a warlock.

I close my door behind me and start making my way to the kitchen for lunch. I turn the corner and almost run into my mother "Alec? How are you feeling?" Their are two shadowhunters standing behind my mother "I'm fine I was just going to get something to eat."

"Are you sure you should eat? I thought Jace said you had the stomach flu?" She sounds concerned but I can tell that she's angry at me. "Oh yah I was just going to try something light" I smile and look at the other shadowhunters "You guys must be from the Canadian Institute."

"Yes I'm Helen and this is my husband Roy" she gestures to the man standing next to her "Technically it's Rolando" The man steps forward and holds out his hand. I shake it. Rolando is tall and skinny with carrot orange hair and a pair of glasses with green eyes behind them.

Helen looks like the typical shadowhunter average height and muscly. She also has the same pale blonde hair as Luna but it's put up in a bun. "I'm Alec. It's nice meeting you." Rolando folds his arms and looks at me critically "Oh so you're THE Alexander" he lifts his chin "I heard you're pretty good at the bow and arrow."

"Uh yah I guess so" I rub the back of my neck feeling very uncomfortable "You guess? Your a shadowhunter you do not guess!" "ROY!" Helen throws her hands up "I'm so sorry Alec. Roy tends to be a little over dramatic"

"Oh please I was just having some fun" he waves his hand and smiles "But I was serious about the bow and arrow" he looks at me "I've been working on an arrow that shoots poison and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping be test it?"

"Of course Alec would be delighted to help you" my mothers says as she claps her hands together "We should get going on the tour you're going to love the greenhouse Helen!" Helen and Roy both mumble agreements and start to walk away. I start to walk towards the kitchen when I hear my name called "Alexander" I turn around to see Roy "How about we meet in the training area bright and early tomorrow morning?"

"Sure" Rolando does fist pump and quickly jogs to catch up with my mother. I shake my head and start to make my way down the hallway.

I walk into the kitchen hoping for some peace and quiet especially since my headache is starting to return but nothing seems to be going my way today because the kitchen is full of people. Jace is leaning against the counter while Izzy and Luna are sitting at the table which is full of thai take out. "Ah our smelly sleeping beauty has finally risen.. and showered" Jace smirks.

I glare at him as I reach for a plate and pile it full of noodles. I'm so concentrated on getting my food and a fork I didn't hear her come up behind me "Alec?" I whip around stabbing the fork into my hand. "Wha- ow!" I drop my fork and rub my hand.

Luna bends down, picks up the fork and hands it to me "Thanks." She smiles "No problem. Oh and I was wondering what your were doing tonight?" I look at her surprised "Why?"

"I've never been to New York and I was wondering if you could give me a tour?" Before I could answer Jace comes up behind me and drapes his arm across my shoulder. "Uhh you should have Jace give you a tour." I say quickly. "He's been all over the city"

Jace looks at me and I give him a look hoping he'll cover for me. He seems to get what I'm trying to say and gives Luna one of his signature smiles "It would be my honor to give a beautiful young lady such as yourself a tour of our great city."

"Oh" Luna looks slightly disappointed "I guess so" Jace quickly walks over to her and starts discussing all that they are going to see while slowly guiding her out of the room saying that they need to get started soon otherwise they won't be able to see everything.

I release a breath I didn't realize I was holding. "What was that about?" I look over at Izzy. "What are you talking about?" shoveling a fork full of noodles into my mouth. "Really Alec? It was clear she's interested in you!" I look down at my food. "Oh I didn't notice" I mumble.

"Does this have anything to do with where you were last night?" she looks at me suspiciously "Alec are you dating someone?" I drop my fork "Wha-... I'm not..." I can feel my cheeks redding as I think of Magnus. "OH MY RAZIEL! YOU ARE! WHY DIDN'T TELL ME!"

I let my head fall into my hands "Do you have to yell?" I look at her through my fingers "Alec?! What's she like? How'd you meet her? Is she pretty? We should go on a double date sometime." She finally stops and looks at me "Alec is something wrong?"

"Izzy I need to tell you something" Her smile starts to fad "What is it? You didn't get her pregnant did you?" "No" I gasp. I take a deep breath "Izzy I'm-" I'm cut off by my mother entering the room.

"I'm sorry Roy couldn't finish the tour" Helen apologizes as she enters the room after my mother. "Oh that's no problem we do have a pretty impressive library." My mother see's us "Alec I forgot to mention I told Luna that you would give her a tour of the city tonight."

"Yah about that Jace is actually going to give the tour." My mother crosses her arms across her chest "I thought it would be better if you did" she looks at me sternly "You know Jace is better at that kind of stuff."

She purses her lips "Well would you mind at least accompanying them?" I can tell by the look she's giving me that it was not a question. I nod "I'll go find Jace." I stand up and start to stroll out of the room.

I start to walk down the hallway "Alec?" I turn around to find Izzy behind me "You were about to tell me something?" I look down "It's nothing never mind" She studies me "Are you sure" I smile "Yah I'll tell you some other time."

I walk down the hallway already dreading this evening. I'm not sure why I don't like Luna she seems nice but something just feels weird with the way she's acting. But maybe if I'm going out tonight I could stop by Magnus's.
