Thalia was left in the care of Izzy, Alec and I as we left the Institute. Presumably it was so she could say goodbye to her loved ones and collect her belongings before being teleported to Idris. However that wasn't what we had in mind.

"So let me get this straight," Thalia started. "Shadowhunters hunt down and kill downworlders and demons. Yet we're going to need help from two downworlders today?"

"Not all Downworlders are bad," Alec told her. "We actually rely on many warlocks for portaling and the wards in Alicante."

"Ali what?"

"Alicante, the glass city. The Nephilim capitol in Idris," he explained. "That's where you'll be going to in order to become Ascended."

We arrived at Magnus's loft and Thalia stared as we got out of the car. "This isn't where I thought a warlock would live."

"He's the High Warlock of Brooklyn, not Harry Potter," Alec told her as he proceeded to knock on the door. As always Magnus seemed delighted to see Alec and less so for the rest of us.

As we entered Magnus handed a small vial to Izzy. "Get your vampire to drink that," he told her. "I'm done with him."

"All I'm saying is can't you magic it to smell better? It smells like pig's feet." Simon was lounging on Magnus's couch.

Magnus ignored Simon and pulled Alec to the other side of the room. Izzy had gone over to Simon leaving Thalia and I standing by the doorway.

I suddenly heard a 'meow' and looked down to see the cat brushing up against my legs. I knelt down. "Hey, Chairman Meow." The cat purred as I scratched him.

"He seems a lot friendlier than the cat back at the Institute." Thalia had knelt down to scratch Chairman Meow as well.

I let out a laugh. "You met Church then, don't feel bad. He hates everybody."

"He just kept staring at me but whenever I came near he'd hiss and run off," she explained.

"You probably remind him of someone," we heard Magnus say. "Another mundane with the Sight. Sophie Collins."

"Sophie Collins? Isn't she-" Izzy was cut off

"Now, now, we can save the Adventures of Church for another day, I think it's time for you all to leave. That potion will wear off when the sun reaches its highest point." I saw he now empty vial in Simon's hand.

As we left I noticed Magnus gripping Alec's arm and speaking to him quietly. He nodded before following us out the door.

"Oh my G-" Simon stopped talking suddenly. For a second I thought he was burning but he was just basking in the sun's rays. "I forgot what the sunlight felt like."

"Don't get used to it," Alec said. "Magnus isn't going to be able to make that concoction again."

"Yeah, yeah, the great ole warlock already gave me the spiel about the ingredients being rare and he wouldn't normally do this for a vampire but since it was you who asked and he-"

Alec cut Simon off by pushing him forward. "A certain vampire better get going if he doesn't want to burst into flames. We've only got three hours until noon."

Simon glared at Alec but then turned back to look at my Parabatai. "Be careful," he told her.

"I always am," she told him. "Don't get burned to a crisp. Sadly, I don't think even that could make you even hotter."

I saw Simon smirk before he darted off at vampire speed. Part 1 of the plan was in action.

Part 2 of the plan involved Thalia getting her belongings from her apartment. I didn't exactly know how Thalia, at sixteen, had her own apartment in NYC, but I didn't ask.

Izzy and I took turns watching for Jonathan. If what we suspected was true, that he had been watching Thalia, we were sure he wouldn't miss the chance to nab her when she was alone. Or seemingly alone. Alec was hiding closer to her apartment than Izzy and I were.

But when Thalia appeared on the side walk carrying a lone box, done packing up, I suddenly doubted my suspicions. What if Jonathan hadn't been watching? Or what if he suspected it was a trap and decided not to come?

I glanced at the sky. The sun was getting dangerously close to its highest point. We probably only had fifteen minutes left at most.

I sighed and nudged Izzy. "Let's go, he's not coming." She nodded and started the engine of the car. We pulled out of the alley we had been sitting in and rolled up next to Thalia. Alec appeared half a second later and the two hopped into the backseat.

"Is it bad if I say I'm glad he didn't show up?" Thalia asked. As much as I was glad we wouldn't have to put her in harm's way I didn't know what we were going to do now.

"Let's just get back to Institute," I told Izzy. It wasn't far away. Thalia had really been living under the Institute's nose.

My memories of the next few moments are vague. I remember us nearing the Institute, going on a narrow road. I remember thinking it was strange that no one was around. The next thing I knew we crashed into an invisible force.

The next thing I remember is crawling out of the overturned vehicle and rushing to the other side to make sure Izzy was okay. She climbed out as I got there, safe for except a few scrapes and her nose was bleeding. We had to pry the back door off its hinges so Alec and Thalia could climb out. Or I should say Alec who got out and dragged Thalia with him. She was unconscious but seemed okay.

"Izzy, what the hell did you hit?" I reached up to rub the bump that I was sure was forming on my head and saw blood as I drew my hand away.

"That would be me," a voice said and I whipped my head in his direction. "Or well, I caused your car to flip anyway." Jonathan stood feet away.

I scrambled to my feet, drawing a dagger even though my aching head was screaming not to. "It's three against one, Jonathan!" I wasn't sure what he had done to make us crash but as I glanced behind me I saw Izzy and Alec on their feet. We could take him.

"Is that supposed to scare me?" He laughed. Then, he flung his arm out towards us. With a flick of his wrist we were sent flying off our feet.

I rolled into a crouch, confused. What had he just done? Magic? But it didn't matter. Whatever he had done was probably some cheap parlor trick. It wasn't going to stop me from what I came here today to do.

"Tell us where you're keeping Sebastian!" I shouted at him. Without warning I raised my dagger and charged at him. Jonathan merely sidestepped my attack before tripping me, then kicking the dagger away.

"Tsk, fiery as always but not very smart are you, Clarissa?" Jonathan asked. I saw him fling out his hand again, throwing Izzy and Alec again with the invisible force.

"Stop it!" I cried, hating the pleading tone that was coming from my voice. Something was wrong with Izzy, I could feel it.

Jonathan dragged me to my feet with his power. "Wonders what the Sight blood can do isn't it? Drain a couple Sight holders and you'll have unimaginable power. Damian always suspected that their blood would hold some meaning, but since you murdered him I had to find someone else to finish the spell."

I was horrified. That's what he wanted the mundanes with the Sight for? To kill them?

I was suddenly released and I found it hard to stand.

Jonathan cursed. "Seems my power is diminishing, no matter. This is what you're up against, Clary, still think you can win? Still think you can stop me?" He paused. "No, Jonathan Wayland is back from the dead and I will get revenge for my family. I'll see the ruin of Nephilim."

"Take me!" I blurted out. It was my last dish attempt. "Give Sebastian back, take me instead."

"Clary!" I heard Izzy shout. I tried my best to ignore her. I knew Alec would hold her back. He was the only one I had told about this part of the plan.

"That's an interesting proposition, little Morning Star, but I'll have to decline. However, bring me your blade, the match twin of Phaesphoros, and perhaps I'll reconsider." He suddenly flung his hand out again sending me flying backwards. This time I didn't land on my feet.

When I looked up I noticed Jonathan was gone. I glanced to the spot Izzy and Alec had been at to find them several feet away. Had Jonathan blown them back as well?

My blood turned to ice and I dashed to my parabatai's side. Alec was already trying with no avail to wake her up. "Izzy!" I shouted. "Izzy!" Her stomach was bleeding. She must've gotten cut during the crash. Why hadn't she said anything?

I ripped her shirt out of the way and quickly drew several healing runes. They disappeared nearly as quick and I drew them and I saw no visible change in my Parabatai.

"Call somebody!" I shouted at Alec. But he was already on the phone. I didn't care what trouble we would get in. I could feel it, she was dying. My runes weren't helping. I didn't know what else to do.
