Jonathan woke up with his head throbbing. He sat up groggily and realized he was still in the clothes he wore from the morning. I always change before going to bed…

"Jace, did I get drunk or something last night?" He asked but there was no reply.

He turned his head to where Jace's bed was. Jace wasn't there and his bed was still neat, leaving no signs of anyone sleeping in it before. That's weird… He looked to the clock on his bedside, it read 10:00pm. What am I doing sleeping so early…?

Jonathan decided to go over to Magnus's to see if he knows anything. He knocked on Magnus's door twice, but no one answered. Not you too… He took his stele from his boot then drew on the doorknob. He let himself in without waiting any longer for Magnus. He expected to see Magnus sprawled on his bed too like him. However, Magnus's bed was in the same neatness as Jace's.

He started getting frustrated. He went over to Clary's room then knocked on the door. There was no answer. He wanted to barge into the room just as he had to Magnus's, before doing so he hesitated. He was afraid of what may welcome him if he'd open the door. It's either he will realize the room is empty or…what he fears most - seeing Jace and Clary together, making out or whatever. He decided not to bother and went back to his room, not wanting to investigate further.

When he entered his room, a surprise was awaiting for him. The room was dark, even though he remembered he left the lights on before leaving just now. A voice said from the dark, "Nice to see you, Jonathan… I see you've been slacking off…"

Jonathan flipped on the lights, and was too shocked to say anything but managed a simple -

"You…"


"Simon?" Clary called out in disbelief…

The guy looked around for whoever has called him. He finally spotted Clary.

"Clary? Is that you?"

"Oh my gosh, Simon! It really is you…" Clary rushed up to him to give him a tight embrace.

"I can't believe it! What are you doing here? You had all of us worried…"

"Long story… What happened-" Before Clary could finish her sentence, the girl who was standing next to them interrupted them by grabbing Simon's arm pulling him closer to her.

"I'm really sorry, he, who you've hugged just so happens to be my boyfriend…" The girl said to Clary.

Clary looked back and forth from the girl to Simon, giving him a questioning look. All Simon did was shrugged.

"I'm sorry, but I happen to be his best friend…"

Simon sensing the tension between the girls, suddenly said, "Why not we take this outside, I'm sure it's just a big misunderstanding…" He gestured towards the exit.

"Fine…" The girl muttered. Before going to the exit, she said to the guy who was kissing Magnus, "Alec, do you want to come along?"

The guy named Alec only mumbled something they couldn't understand before continued on with whatever he and Magnus were doing.

Isabelle strutted out gracefully while the others fell behind. Jace and Clary held hands while walking out, leaving a confused Simon eyeing them carefully.

When all of them finally came out from the nightclub, the girl said, "Now talk…" Her voice faded away when she saw Jace. "You're beautiful…" She swooned.

"I've been told, but my heart belongs to someone even more beautiful now," Jace said while staring at Clary, making her blush. No one's ever said that I'm beautiful apart from my mom…

"Okay! Let's start with introductions… I'm Simon Lewis. She's Isabelle Lightwood, and that guy back there was Alec, her brother. " Simon said awkwardly.

"I'm Jace Herondale, and this is my angel-Clary..." He said while still having a goofy grin on his face.

"Oh, you're Clary? Simon's told me all about you! It's nice to finally meet you! Sorry about my actions just now, I can be a little jumpy at times…" Isabelle said to Clary.

"It's okay… I'm glad that Simon had someone to be with him while I went missing… How did you guys meet anyways? I don't remember seeing you at St. Francis Xavier…"

"Of course you haven't seen me before! Shadowhunters don't go to school. Well, we met in a restaurant, he seemed so distraught that I just had to see what was going on. Who knew it was because he had been turned into a vampire, so I guess you must be one too! But judging by your looks, you don't look pale at all, in fact you look very red…"

"A vampire? What happened, Simon?" Clary's mind was flooding with millions of possibilities of how he got dragged into this mess. Simon lowered his head, unable to face Clary.

"Way to ruin the reunion moment, Izzy…" Jace sighed.

"How did you know my nickname? Only my family calls me that… Unless, Jace… Oh my gosh," with that Isabelle gave Jace a quick hug. "We've missed you so much…"

"Wait, what? I've never even met you before… You know, you don't have to pretend that this is one of those dramatic long-lost-brother scenes, just so you can feel my biceps." Jace started to pull away from Isabelle.

"What?! No… I mean you're charming and all but-" Isabelle was interrupted by Magnus.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting, but I had some things that I had to settle with Alec…" Magnus stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Jace and Clary.

"So Magnus, mind telling us what did you meant by partying?" Jace asked.

"Uh, about that…" Magnus said bashfully. Alec suddenly interrupted, "Are you Jace?"

"Yeah…" Jace sensed something 'terrible' was going to happen.

"It's been a long time, brother…" Alec gave Jace a slight pat on the back.

"Okay… I really appreciate the attention so far, but it's too much of a coincidence for two Lightwoods to treat me like a long-lost brother. Anyone who cares to tell me what's going on?"

Alec looked surprised, as he was about to say something, Simon cut in first,"I know nothing about this so leave me out of it…" He said while taking a step back from the group.

"You didn't tell them yet, did you Magnus?" Alec asked while sounding a bit mad.

"Uh… Maybe I did miss out a minor detail or two…but only for the sake of their safety!" Magnus replied.

"So tell us now, please!" Jace said getting annoyed.

"I'm sure you know the story of how you came to Renwick's right?"

"Yes, my parents died and Valentine took me in since everybody agreed to it… By the way, you just revealed the location…"

"Ugh, forget about what Valentine had said, that won't matter after I've told you the whole story. So yeah, your parents died but the part about everybody agreeing, that wasn't true… You were not taken in by Valentine, Jace… You were kidnapped…"
