I was still with Alec when he went to talk to his parents. Dad had gone to wait for him. I went with him for moral support. Maryse just doesn't understand it. I do. Love is hard to find but when you find it you just don't want to let it go.

"Have you spoken with Lydia?" Alec asked.

"No one's seen her since the wedding."Maryse said.

"Mom, come on."Alec pleaded.

"Maryse." Robert spoke up.

"Mom, I understand you're upset, but this is." Alec tries to explain.

"Calling off the wedding would've been one thing but kissing that warlock in front of the entire Institute? You've embarrassed all of us." Maryse stated.

"Why? Because he's a guy?" Alec questioned.

" fact that he is a guy, as you say, is the least of my worries." Maryse said.

"Then what's the problem? " Alec asked.

"That you chose Magnus reputation precedes him." Maryse explained.

"And even for a warlock, he's a bit of a lothario. Alec, there's so much that you don't know about him." Robert said.

"Well, then I plan to get to know him. And if you have a problem with that, then I suggest you deal with it. Now, I have to go find Lydia." Alec said.

"She's probably packing for Idris in your father's office." Maryse told him.

"What she did Saved my life. So I should go thank her." Alec told them.

"Maryse I know that this is hard but Alec has always been like that. I believe that if Lydia hadn't come here it would have been me up there with Alec. So would you have tried to stop me from marrying your son because I am half warlock. Just think about that before you of all people judge someone." I said.

I was angry with her. Yeah I understand that this wasn't what any of them had excepted from Alec but it's who he is. I found my dad and Alec talking. I joined them while at the same time staying in the shadows. What I enjoy spying on people I do it all the time.

Lydia is one of my good friends from the Clave. She is also the only one who enjoys talking to me about anything and everything. I felt bad because I was cheering for Malec all the way. I listened in on the conversation that dad and Alec were having.

"On a scale of one to ten how unpleasant was it?" Dad asked.

"Off the charts. Yeah, I've never seen them so angry." Alec answered.

"Just give them some time."

"You're immortal. Time is on your side. After what I did I don't think they'll ever forgive me."

"Don't underestimate a parent's don't regret it, do you?"

"Everything happened so fast. I didn't have time to think. I just wanna make sure Lydia's okay. Now I owe her so much."

"We owe her. What she did was nothing short of heroic. Hey, look, maybe we can slow things down? Why don't we start with that date you owe me?"

"Yeah, let's do that."

After they realized that I was there, the three of us went to talk to Lydia. When we got in the room we saw that Lydia was on the floor. Dad made sure that she was alive. Alec used her stele on her healing rune. I looked for the cup. The cup was missing. We heard her weakly say Hodge's name. Dad took Lydia to the infirmary while Alec and I went to watch the surveillance video with Clary, Jace, and Izzy. Izzy didn't believe that Hodge would do this. Sadly the video spoke for itself. When Alec started to say maybe it was his parents who helped Hodge get the ring. I defended them. Me and Maryse may not see eye to eye but I know she won't do this. She cares to much about her family to ever let something like that happen to her and Robert. Clary asked about the forsaken attack. That forsaken was just a delivery boy for Valentine. Clever. I know I shouldn't say that but come on no one would have thought of that except him.

Alec and Jace started to get ready to go after Hodge. Jace must have called Luke because they weren't asking for my or my dad's help. I went with Izzy and Clary to go and try to talk to Raphael about talking to Camille. When we got there and we tried to convince Raphael to let us talk to Camille. He denied us our request. I knew Raphael and I told them I would catch up with them soon. I took Raphael by the collar so I could speak to him in private.

"Raph you know we're just going to talk to her even with your say. We need her so we can stop Valentine. Promise me that you are okay with that." I said.

"Juliet of course and I know that. I will act like I am angry with what you are doing. I will let the rest of the vampires know. I also know that Simon will side with Clary." He told me.

I kissed his cheek. He was my downworld best friend. Alec was my shadowhunter best friend. He has always been there for me.

Me and Clary were hiding in a coffin. Surprisingly roomy. Once we were in the room we came out of the coffin. I opened Camille's cage. She screamed and I punched her out of fear. Simon and Clary laughed but than got down to business. Clary was asking about her mom giving her a book. Then she asked about Dot. I miss Dot. We got Camille out of the coffin and she stepped on my foot and I called her a bitch. When we got out of that room we were meet with the other vamps. Raphael was playing this part quite well. Izzy saved us from getting attacked by the vamps. On our way Camille said that she will help us for a pardon. She said she knows a guy who can make one for her. I was not happy about who it was.

"Magnus how are you?" She asked.

"You don't get to ask him how he is." I said.

"Juliet it's fine. Camille I thought I was done with you." Dad said.

Izzy said she was going to call for backup. Simon and Clary went to a different room and I hide in a closet so I could spy on them. Camille and dad talked for a bit before she smelt angel blood. Crap, Alec. Camille grabbed dad and kissed him. Alec saw it too. I came out of my hiding spot and I punched Camille for the second time tonight. Dad told me to go wait with Clary and Simon. I tried to tell him that I was trying to protect him and Alec but he wouldn't listen. I was mad. I told Clary what happened. I really want to stab her through the heart and kill her. Alec walked into the room and told us that Jace has gone after is crazy to think he can do that on his own. Soon Camille came into the room and asked Simon to sign but he said he would sign when she took us to the book. She did. When we were getting out of the elevator I saw Alec looking at dad's ass. If I didn't know Alec was gay that would be my first thought. Alec and dad go mind the perimeter. I knew that meant something else in a way. As we were looking Clary found a cookbook. When she opened it the other part of the bookmark was in it. She put the two pieces together and the book of the white was back to normal. Soon Valentine was there. I tried to hide. But it was no use. Dad and Alec came into the room with some of Valentine's men.

"What were you two doing?" I asked.

I got glared at. I just laughed. Soon Jace joined us. Jace asked if he went with Valentine that he wouldn't harm us. Jace looked to me. All I could do was nod. I didn't want him to but he had to. And he went with Valentine. Clary tries to go after him but Alec stops her and explains what might have happened if he hadn't.

We got back to the institute. Everyone was getting ready to wake Jocelyn. Dad and Alec were talking. I was hidden in the shadows. Listening like I always do.

"I know you don't want to hear it, so I'll just say it once. Whatever I felt for Camille, it's ancient history. Almost literally." Dad explained.

"Yeah, but what she said about you being immortal she's right. You watch the people you care about age and die." Alec made a point.

"Alexander I may be the High Warlock of Brooklyn, but even I can't see the future." Dad said.

Luke told dad that they were ready for him. Before Alec went to go see Jocelyn wake up I stopped him. I need to talk to him. Tell him what I saw.

"Alec wait. Camille kissed him. My dad would never do that. He loves you. I know he does. I won't let anything hurt you guys I promise." I said.

He believes me. We went to Jocelyn. Dad asked me to help. I agreed to help. He was on one side I was on the other. Both of us working together to wake Jocelyn I never thought that this would happen. She woke up and Luke caught her. He really loves her. When she saw Clary she hugged her. After a little bit she saw me. I was afraid. But she was still the same Jocelyn who told me so many stories about shadowhunters and downworlders.

"Everyone I need to tell you guys something. I have a secret that only a few people know. Jace knows this. I told him after he found out about Valentine being his father which I still don't think is true. My mother ran away from her family because her brother was insane. The last name my mother used when she was here was my grandmother's maiden name. Her real last name was Morgenstern. She is Valentine's sister. Which in turn makes me his niece. I know I should have told you guys sooner but I was afraid of what you guys would think of me. This is my home. Along with my dad's lair. But Valentine comes back and so do I. That seems a little odd. Clary it's kind of like how Alec felt about you when they found out that you are Valentine's daughter." I said.

"Juliet we can never hate you. We all love you." Maryse said.

Me, Alec, and dad were all surprised to hear her say that. She told me it was my mother's idea that she said those things to me. So this whole time I was mad at her was almost for nothing. I was still mad about the whole thing about my dad. I was happy to hear that I will always be welcomed here. Just then I got a text from someone who I told never to text me unless it was an emergency. I looked at it and it said:

Hey Juliet, listen I know I'm not supposed to text you but let's just say that some of the students are acting out and we need you to help out.

-Casey

I asked dad, Izzy, Simon, Clary, Jocelyn, Luke, even Raphael (through text), and Alec if they would join me. Raphael got to the institute and said that I asked him to come here. I opened a portal. I told them that we were going to the institute in Oregon. Alec was surprised that the institute in Oregon was still up and running. I explained to him that it was because we don't take orders from the Clave. I can't stand the Clave's rules anymore so I made my own. They finally get to see what I did during those three years I was gone. All of the people who live there were like me. They are only part shadowhunter.
