"Jace said you wanted to see us?" Clary asked as we entered Isabelle's room.

"That's right. What are you two wearing to the Downworlder party tonight?"

"I don't know. We were just thinking about wearing this." Clary pointed to our shirt and jeans.

Izzy laughed a little and covered her mouth with a hand. "I don't think so. No Downworlder would be caught dead in that. Plus, it's a party, not a poetry slam."

"Well, we don't really have any party clothes with me, so..." I started to say.

"So you'll have to wear mine, hmm?"

"You realize, one of these days you're gonna have to tell us where and when." Clar said as she looked at a dress Isabelle gave her. She put the dress on the bed.

"Where and when what?"

"Where you get your spending money and... when are you letting us go to a store?" I asked her.

"Clary... Crystal..." The Lightwood girl put two black dresses in front of us.

"Okay, that dress is way too tight."

"Okay, that dress is way too reveling." We said together.

"It's stretchy and it's not." She handle it to us. "Put it on." Isabelle ordered.

"Ugh, fine." We groaned taking it.

We went to a part of Izzy's room to change.

"Try these." Isabelle put two pairs of black heels for us.

"I don't know, Isabelle, I think we're more of a jeans and T-shirt kinda girls." I said as went to a mirror to look at our look.

Izzy sighs. "You're so lucky to have such a flat chest. I can never wear that without a bra."

My sister and I giggled. "Really?"

"Really."

"Someone's looking badass." A new voice said. We turned to look at Jace.

"Oh, thanks." Clary chuckles.

"She cleans up well. I'm gonna go see Alec. He never knows what to wear to these parties either." Isabelle said and started to walk away.

"Wait, I'm coming with you!" I called out after her.

We arrived at Alec's room just to see him getting out of the shower, with a towel around his wrist.

Alec notice us and stopped walking, looking at me. He looked up and down at me style than said.

"Wow. As much I loved you in that dress,you need to change."

"Yeah, that's not gonna happen, baby." I told Alec as I went to his closet. Isabelle followed not longer after.

After helping Alec get something to wear, I went to my room to do something about my hair.

Now Clary, Jace and I were on the line to enter the club to the Downworlder party as Isabelle and Alec checked the perimeter.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Clary asked. "Last time we were here, this place was crawling with vampires."

"What?!" I asked.

"Relax, all Downworlders hang out here. We just came on vampire night." Jace told us.

"Right. And when is all this gonna sound normal to us?" My sister asked.

"I don't know."

"Good answer, Shakira."

We hear footsteps approaching.

"All clear." Alec told us as he put an arm around my waist.

"Do you think red's my color?" Izzy asked Clary and I.

"Iz, with a body like yours, everything's your color." Clar told her.

"Just every color? Everything." I told my girl friend.

"Good point." She said and touched the necklace. "Damn, I make this necklace look so good."

"Will you take it off? I'm certain Magnus Bane doesn't want drool on his ruby when we make the exchange." Alec told his sister.

"You know, I wouldn't be so sure. Most men like it when I admire their jewels."

"Can you just give it to Jace?"

Isabelle giggled. "You're such a buzzkill." And she handled the necklace.

Inside of the club a loud techno music was playing. And not even 5 minutes that we're here at least 3 guys flirted with me, Alec made clear every time that he was with me and give me the 'I told you so' look.

"Blend in. Keep your weapons ready." Alec and Isabelle nodded. Blondie, Clar and I went to find Magnus. And we found him pretty quickly. "Magnus."

"Clary and Crystal, the Fairchild sister. Both of you've grown into a beautiful young women." The Warlock greeted us.

"Magnus Bane. So you're the one who stole our memories." I said.

"At your Mother's request. She knew the risk." Magnus told me. He turned to Jace. "Show me the jewelry, Shadowhunter." Jace showed him, Magnus smiled before tried to get it. I said tried.

"Ooh..." Mag gave Jace a look. "Give Clary and Crystal back their memories, and you get the jewelry." Blondie told him.

"I have to confirm it's authenticity." Hesitately Jace give Magnus the necklace. "'Amor verus numquam moritur.' 'True love cannot die.'" He sighs. "Oh, how I've missed this jewel."

"Now, it's your turn to pay up." Clary told him.

"I wish I could retrieve your memories, but I no longer have them."

"What? Where are they?" I asked him.

"I fed them to a memory demon for safekeeping."

"And why the hell would you do that?" Jace asked a little angry.

"To protect Clary, Crystal and the Cup. If Valentine ever captured me, he could torture Clary and Crystal's memories out of me. Just like he tortured Dot." Wait, Dot?

"Tortured? Wait, is Dot okay?" Clary asked him.

"You don't know? Dot is dead."

"What?" We asked together. "How do you know?" I asked the Warlock.

"I can't feel her magic anymore. Valentine killed her because she would not betray your Mother."

"Oh, my God." Clary whipped. I don't believe it, Dot was dead. She was practically my sister and now... she's gone.

"Come with me, girls." Magnus told us. "My lair can offer you protection no Shadowhunter ever could."

Jace scoffs.

"No! No, we're not going anywhere with you." Clary told him.

"Don't be a fool. Your Mother would want you to live."

"Then help us get our memories back from whatever demon you gave them to." I said to him.

"Valentine is hunting you, too." Magnus told. "And every moment we're outside my lair's protection, is a moment Valentine gets closer to finding us." With a whooshing sound Magnus' hands starts to glow blue and he opened a portal. "Come with me." We looked at Jace, who shake his head saying 'no'. "I won't offer again."

"Sorry, Mag but no. No, we won't hide from our problems and neither should you." I told the Warlock.

"Look out!" Isabelle's voice called to us at the same moment that an Alec's arrow flow between us, hitting a man.

Jace took of his Saraphim blade and keep alert.

Alec come closer and checked the body, getting the man's blade.

"Who are you?" Magnus asked, before starting to leave.

"Magnus, wait!" Clary stopped him. "You're our only hope."

"Valentine found us. I warned your Mother this might happen." He told before vanished.

"Wait..." It was too late, he was gone.

"The area's secure. Looks like he was the only assassin." Isabelle told getting closer.

"He has a Circle rune on the base of his neck." Alec informed.

"They found us. It's not safe here. Clary, Crystal we have to go." We all started to leave... except for Clary who was sitting on a stool. "Clary..."

We take the back exit of the club. Jace was more a head, than Alec, Isabelle, me and Clary.

Clary was walking slowly, I stopped to check on her.

"Hey, you're okay?" I asked worried.

"Jace." Isabelle called out the blonde, who stopped to see what was happening.

"Clary, we have to move." He said.

"I'm catching my breath." She told him.

"You know what? This is great. And not only did Magnus not get the girl and my girl their memories back, he took the necklace. This is fantastic..." Jace cut off my boyfriend.

"Alec, the girl... her name is Clary, she's your girlfriend's sister, and I highly suggest you keep your voice down.

"Why? What, are you afraid I'm gonna upset her? We have risked our lives again and again for this girl, and where has it gotten us? All right? Nowhere. We're no closer to getting the Mortal Cup. And we've lost the Institute's necklace." Alec was furious, I know and he doesn't like Clary but there was no reason for him to say all of this.

"Hey, I am right here." Clary said getting their attention. "I don't care about your damn jewelry. I'm sorry you're gonna look bad in front of your bosses, okay? But our Mother is still missing and our last chance at finding her just disappeared into thin air."

"Clary, it's gonna be fine." Jace promised her.

"No, it's not! People are dying because of me." She looked at me. "Because of us." She turned to the boys again. "And Magnus? Magnus will never come out of hiding again while Valentine is still after him." She made an unfunny laugh. "We're never gonna find him. And we will... we will never get our memories back." She was gonna to throw something on the floor, but Jace got it.

"You give up way too easy." He told her and walked a little away.

"What is he doing?" My sister asked.

"He's tracking Magnus. Be quiet and keep your distance." Alec told.

"The button belonged to Magnus. Jace can pinpoint the location using that." Isabelle explained.

"No." Jace said turning back to us. "The signal's not strong enough. Magnus must be blocking the track. Let's do this, Alec."

My boyfriend walked closer to Blondie and hold his hand.

"Do what?" I asked.

"Parabatai tracking." She answered.

"Of course they are." Clary mummed.

"When parabatais track, their power grows stronger. Jace and Alec are gonna track Magnus together."

"Yeah, this whole parabatai thing seems oddly intimate, if you ask me." I told the Lightwood girl.

Izzy sighs. "You don't know the half of it." I looked at her weirdly.

"Got him." Jace informed us.
