Nicole

"What did you just say to me?" She shook her head. "No your wrong. Valentine is not my father, and your my sister." I sadly shook my head.

"Clary, I didn't want to believe it either." I took her hands. "The Silent Brothers, told me that my memories don't lie."

"I was there Clary I saw how upset you sister was." Jace told her.

"I-I don't understand.." She was practically sobbing now.

"My sixteenth birthday, I was talking to Jace and I heard Joc..mom." I took a breath. "Talking to Luke she mention Dana my mom. She also told Luke that she don't think you'll forgive her when you find out who your dad is and what he did to my father."

"Why-Why would she lie to us." She gripped her hair. "Oh my god Valentine is my father." She then grabbed my hands. "He killed your parents Nikki." I never seen Clary so distraught. She then got quiet and quickly made her way to the door.

"No! Clary!" She walked through the door before stopping.

"I can't be here." I was panicking.

"Clary..."

"No don't you understand Valentine my dad, the one who took our mother killed your family." She scoffed. "How can you even look at me."

"Cause no matter what I love you and you'll always be my sister." She just stared.

"I have to go, Simon.." And then she was gone.

"Nikki.." I shook my head.

"We need to find Magnus." And I left him standing there.


{*} Weapon Room

After Clary left I sat in our bedroom till Jace gathered everyone so we can go over Clary and I dream and also Magnus Bane. Not even ten seconds that I sat in the room Jace came and got me. Now the four of us that are left plus Hodge are sitting of to the side of the weapon room on the table. I watched as Hodge thanks another Shadowhunter for giving him what looks like a iPad. Hodge pressed a few buttons and when the screen turned on showing several pictures of Magnus the planning began.

"Magnus Bane." I jumped feeling hands on me but smiled when I seen it was only Jace. "The Warlock is over 300 years old.

"Damn." I said. The three laughed.

"As you can see he doesn't actually shield away from the pleasures of every century." Another picture this one looks like the 1920's. "His tastes are exquisite."

"I think it's awesome." Everyone turned to me. "To live that long, to see the world change, the styles, awesome." They smiled, well Alec rolled his eyes at me. I felt Jace kiss the back of my head.

"You would think that." He said. I turned to face him.

"What am I wrong?" He shook his head and smiled.

"No, it's a very Nicole thing to say." I gave him a kiss before turning my attention back to Hodge. Tilting my head at the picture.

"He's like the Downworlder David Guetta." I heard Izzy laugh.

"Guetta's already a Downworlder." I gasped.

"No!" She just smiled.

"Can you two focus." Alec growled. I rolled my eyes at him. "This is no joke."

"Someone needs to get slayed." I laughed.

"Alec's right." Hodge snapped making everyone stop. "Now, Magnus is one of the most powerful warlocks I've ever known." He stared at all of us. "He has a very." He stressed the word. "Mistrust of Shadowhunters."

"If he does, then why did he help my mom?" My phone beeped and I quickly took it out and sighed in relief. " I mean he helped her take our memories, she's a Shadowhunter too."

"What? What is it?" I heard Jace ask.

"It was Clary." I held my phone out so they can see.

Hey sis I'm sorry for the way I acted, it..Nikki I just need time. I found Simon and I'm staying at his house it's not safe to go home.

"At least the mundane has a brain not to go home." Alec commented. I glared at him and put my phone back in my shorts.

"Sorry Hodge continue." He just told me it was ok and answered my question.

"Your mother is one of the best." He placed the iPad on the table. "But 'help' might not be the most accurate word." He told me. "Now did Magnus provide a service for Jocelyn." He nodded. "Perhaps. But more than likely your mother paid him."

"Warlocks usually require payment." Jace stated. He pulled my chair out before pulling me out of it and sitting down, pulling me onto his lap. "Before they help with anything."

I moved back into Jace back with the glare Alec was sending me. "Word from the Clave is that most of the warlocks have gone into hiding. Since Valentine been hunting them." Alec informed the room.

I saw Hodge nod from the corner of my eye. "Valentine must be searching for the warlock." He was studying the last picture that was on the slide. "Where did Jocelyn." He choked and the four of us can see his rune start smoking.

I feel so bad. "You ok?" He just gave me a nod. "So how do we find Magnus?" I felt Jace tap my hip.

"We don't. Magnus find us." He leaned back almost causing me to fall off his lap. "Sorry, We'll set up a meeting somewhere protected. Lure him out of hiding." Izzy suddenly got up.

"And I know exactly where we do it."

She took the iPad looking thing from the table and started swiping her finger. And a rave flyer showed up on the screen. Rapturdus Evening.

"A Downworld rave." I can hear the smirk that's probably plastered on his face. "Nice Izzy." He praised. Alec matching Jace smirk asked.

"Now Izzy where did you get that?" Now all three were smirking.

"During my surveillance of the Downworlders." She tilt her head at the picture. :And from what I hear Magnus loves to party."

"No, He'll never go for it. Not with Valentine trying to kill im." I rolled my eyes.

"Are you always a Debby Downer?" He ignored me. Well.

"Of course he will." Jace countered. "He'll blend in. Hide in plain sight."


{*} Jace

We all went our separate way after Hodge explain to us the importance of the four-karat unheated Burmese ruby. According to Hodge it belonged to his ex-lover Camille. Who would've thought. Hodge explained Magnus brought it in 1857 for the price of his London townhouse. The red ruby jewel alerts anyone who wears it when he/she are in the presence of demons. We use this necklace, we can bargain with Magnus to get my girl memories back. Speaking of Nicole. She told me she had to dress the part for the rave. So that's where I am now leaning against the doorway and watching as Nikki slip into her leather jacket.

"Nikki." She turns and I'm stunned. "Babe, wow." She giggles before sitting at the bench at the bottom of the bed. I join her.

"Well don't you look hot." I smirk as her eyes run over my body. She puts the last of her heels on before standing up and sets herself between my legs. "I tried calling Clary." She wraps her arms around my neck. "But she's not answering, I feel so guilty, I'm about to get my memories back and my sister is babysitting Simon."

"We only need one of you to remember where the Mortal Cup located Nikki." She sighs and moves away to the mirror.

"I'm more worried about my mom than some stupid cup Jace." Nicole hissed. She picks up the gold hoop earrings and places them in her ear.

"Yea well that stupid cup in the wrong hands mean death to us Shadowhunters." I got up and moved behind her placing my hands on her hips. "Valentine wants to create his own army Nikki, and kill any and all Downworlder." She turned in my grip.

"Yea but why?" I sighed.

"Nikki I couldn't tell I don't know." I told her.

"Well from what I understand, what you told me the Accord was signing some peace treaty right?" I nodded. "And the circle was formed like a group of protesters."

"Your right, Valentine didn't agree that Downworlder should have equal rights as us Shadowhunters. Valentine and his group was ready to kill even his own people." I told her.

"What a bastard, it seems like jealousy to me." And before I can say anything Izzy showed up.

"Well it seems you don't have that awful fashion sense as your sister." Izzy glanced at Nikki outfit. "And like to show the goodies too." I rolled my eyes.

"You got them flaunt them I say." I raised a brow and she just rolled her eyes. "As long as you don't act slutty what's the problem?"

"Well since my expertise are not needed I'll make sure Alec is wearing something descent. And with that Izzy left the room.


{*} Rapturdus Evening

With my hands intertwined with Nikki we walk around the rave in search for The High Warlock of Brooklyn. With the necklace Izzy was reluctant to let go I pause in our search to take out the dagger seraph blade. I pass it to Nikki.

"There's no way I'm letting you go unarmed." I watch as she studied the patterns that's etched on the hilt. "We can be attacked anytime." She nodded.

I watched her studying her reaction to the situation we're in. She seems calm now, I'm hoping when the time's come she doesn't hesitate once. When there was a quick second we can hang out before Jocelyn erased her memories, I would always train with her. Would I help her out? Yea I'm not going to let anything happen to her, but this is my test to see if she was paying attention, and can actually put to use what I taught her. I felt a tug on my arm taking me out on my thoughts and Nikki was pointing ahead of us. And there he was Magnus. Taking her hand again the two of us make our way over.

"Magnus Bane!" I shout over the music. The glittery warlock looked up and rolled his eyes before getting up out of the seat he was occupying. His eyes that was hard soften as he look at my girlfriend.

"Mmm..Nicole Emily Northmen Fairchild." His eyes took her in. "You look just like your mother." He glanced at us. "Now what the hell are you doing here?" I held up the necklace and Magnus smirked. "Right."

"I want my memories back." Nikki told him. He sighed and snapped his fingers wanting the necklace.

"No-no, give my girl back her memories." He glared before saying.

"Shadowhunter, if you want to be able to make sweet passionate love to Nikki ever again then give me the necklace." He snapped at me glaring at my jewels hand sparking. I growled before placing it in his hand. I can hear Nikki laughing at us.

I watched as he turned the necklace over and smiled. Before frowning.

"I would love to give you your memory back cupcake but I now longer have them." What.

"Excuse me?" Nikki was livid.

"Magnus where are they?" He didn't answer me or bother looking he told Nicole.

"I fed them to a memory demon for safe keeping." I groaned.

"Why the hell would you do that!?"

"To protect he girls and the Mortal Cup." He told me in a tone like I should've known. "If Valentine ever captured me he can torture Nikki and Clary memory out of me, just like he tortured Dot." Nikki grabbed his arm.

"What? Tortured?" She was panicking, scared. "Is-is Dot ok?" Magnus gave her a sad look.

"You don't know?" Nikki shook her head. "Dot's dead." I watch as Nikki tried to hold back the tears.

"How do you know?" She asked.

"I can't feel her magic anymore Nicole." I placed my hand on her back. "Valentine killed her because she would not betray your mother." It wasn't even sure Nikki was listen anymore. Magnus then moved her away from my side. "Come wit me Nicole, My

lair can protect much more than any Shadowhunter ever could." I scoffed.

"No." She shook her head before grabbing my hand. "Clary is still here and so is Jace." Magnus sighed.

"Don't be a fool, we'll find Clary." Nicole just shook her head. "Your mother would want you to live."

"My mother is dead!' She shout. "Valentine killed her just like Dot." She seethed.

"All the more reason to come with me."

"Just give me my memories that you took from me." Magnus shook his head chuckling.

'Valentine wants you and Clary."

"Why?" I asked.

"Valentine believes it was Nicole mom that convinced Jocelyn to turn on him." He told us. "Valentine vowed he would kill every last Northmen that's out there." He grabbed Nicole hand and dragged her to his side before wiggling his finger creating a portal. "Your mother was a good friend to Jocelyn, but Joce already knew how cray-cray Valentine plans really were, Valentine cared only about two things. Jocelyn and the Mortal Cup."

He kept dragging Nicole to the portal. I grabbed Nicole's arm trying to pull her to my side, but the warlock was stronger.

"Jace!" He grip on me was slipping and I lost my grip on her when I heard Alec shout.

"Look out!"

Suddenly an arrow zipped past my head and lodge right into a circle member. We all paused while Alec joined us to check on the body. Stupid move.

"Jace!" Nicole yelled.

"No!" They moved through the portal.

"Thanks hot stuff."

"Jace!" And they both were gone.
