Chapter 9

~1993~

Judas didn't know what to think of Miss Gray.

She was very pretty and nice to Judas while staying with them, her skin held a gold and black to it which made the young warlock like her even more.

Judas was three years old now, Ayah had explained he would be three for another year. He hummed waddling along the soft carpet, it had been quiet today except for the sky.

It was cloudy and wept large fat tears which made multiple sounds when it hit the ground, the smell was fresh and clean with a cool feel to it.

Judas always liked it when the smell came, sometimes when the sky cried he and Ayah would go outside wearing jackets.

He would carry Judas most times while the little tot held the umbrella.

Other times Judas would walk beside Magnus and jump in puddles, with rubber boots on his feet so they wouldn't get wet and make him sick.

The rain sparkled a light green to Judas, every time it landed it would explode and shine along the ground or on people.

Judas paused as he came to the living room threshold, Ayah was sitting on his favorite chair while the other two sat on the couch.

Both held gold and white along them, one had brown hair and the other red hair.

"Ayah! Ayah! Who d'ey?" Jud giggled out as he walked into the living room heading straight for the little girl with pretty hair.

"Ah Judas!" Magnus stood and walked over and scooped him up in his arms. "Ayah is in a grown up situation."

"Oh! You wanna play?" He asked looking over at the little girl.

"Judas! Where are your manners? Go introduce yourself to Miss Fairchild." He said setting Judas down.

Waddling over Judas stared up at the weary lady.

"Hi! My name is Judas, I am three years old and I like drawing."

"I like drawing too!" The little girl beside her popped out, Judas gave them both a girl smile.

"My name is Jocelyne it's nice to meet you Judas, this is Clary." The older lady said.

"Ah, maybe if it's alright with Miss Jocelyn if you draw with Clary." Magnus said.

With a slow nod Judas led Clary away into the dining room.

With a giggle Judas pulled out paper and his favorite color pencils'.

"These are my favorite! Ayah got them for my birthday!" He said.

"Cool!"

As they began to draw Judas peeked over.

"What you drawing?"he asked.

"A butterfly! What you drawing?"she asked.

"Rapphy, he's my big brother he is the bestest." Judas said.

"I like grapes but not grape jam their not crunchy…"Judas said, both of them were currently laying on their backs staring up at the ceiling.

"I like strawberries." Clary said.

"Can we be friends?" Judas asked.

"The bestest." Clary giggled out.
