"Skylar, you can breath. Just keep trying.." Seraphina said, as the necklace around Skylar's neck glowed brightly and pulsed. Skylar felt her lungs fill with water, as she kept trying to get out of the water. Something was holding her down in a tub, she wore a white dress that was covered in blood. "Skylnn, you need to fight it!" The pain of drowning was awful, being unable to breath...it was the worst.

"Skye?" A familiar male voice said, she felt his hands on her arm..shake her a bit. When she opened her eyes and gasped for air, it was Jace...he stared at her and sighed. "Hey, are you alright? I heard you coughing and gagging...I came as soon as possible."

"Y-Yeah. Just a nightmare..." Skylar said before sitting up, and running a hand through her hair. She can feel her heart pounding in her chest, this nightmare had one hell of an affect on her. "I was drowning...like I couldn't breath...and someone was holding me down in a tub...literally pushing me down."

"They were trying to kill you." Jace said before scooting over to her, he pulled her in for a hug and rubbed her back up and down, with his hand. "By well drowning you.." Skye chuckled and pulled away from him.

"I assumed that because well..I was under water and I couldn't breath but thank you for clarifying that for me." Skylar said, shaking her head as she stretched a bit.

"Skye? Am I interuptting?" Clary asked, standing in the door way and looking at the two. The red head looked a bit, startled and hugged herself.

"No, what's up?" Skylar asked, Clary cleared her throat as she glanced at the shirtless Jace and then at her sister.

"Um I need you to tell me everything you know about Magnus Bane." Clary said, oh Skylar knew Magnus Bane alright..very well. He was like a father figure to her, and she loved him.

"Magnus Bane is the High Warlock of Brooklyn, why?" Jace replied instead of Skye.

"Because that vampire, Camille, practically accused him of stealing my memories." Clary said, Skylar's raised an eyebrow and gave her sister a curious look.

"Where did you hear that?" Skylar asked

"When Simon told Camille someone took my memories back at the Hotel DuMort, she blamed Magnus Bane." Clary explained, she simply wanted her memories and wanted to know about this world quickly. "I keep having these dreams where this Magnus guy is with my mom and she tells him to protect me."

"You mean, like, memory fragments?" Jace asked, Clary nodded and let out sigh.

"Yeah, but they're not making sense."

"Well Clary, they're fragments after all. They won't make sense until you get all of your memories." Skylar said and ran a hand through her hair.

"Your sister is right also Magnus' magic is so powerful, he can invade even the Silent Brothers. If he's the warlock that took your memories he could be the key to everything." Jace said

"People are risking their lives to help me get my memories back. But there might not be anything there. I might not remember anything that will lead to the Mortal Cup or my mom." Clary admitted, she kept thinking about...what if...what if her memories led to nothing? No cup or anything? What if it was just a dead end?

"Clary, believe me when I tell you that finding your memories is our only shot at getting the Mortal Cup back." Jace said before standing up and glancing at Skylar who nodded in agreement. She got up as well, reached for her sweatshirt on the dresser...and put it on. Jace had left, to his room to get his sweatshirt.

"The mundie's leaving." Isabelle said as she walked into Skylar's room.

"Simon? He can't leave." Clary said quickly before leaving quickly to stop him.

"He can and he is." Isabelle added before Clary left, her eyes landed on Skye. "What a handful." Th blonde chuckled and nodded.

"The mundane and my sister...are a handful. Do me a favor, go wake Alec and Hodge. We might have a lead on the Mortal Cup." Skylar said, Izzy nodded and have her parabatai a smile before turning around then leaving.

"Magnus Bane, he's over 300 years old." Hodge said as he looked through the tablet, the images he looked at appeared on the big screen. "And, as you can see, he's not exactly shied away from the pleasures of every century. His tastes are both exquisite and quite excessive." Skylar wanted to say something, she knew Magnus and they had a special friendship but she enjoyed watching everyone learning about him.

"He looks like the Downworld's David Guetta." Clary said, Isabelle smirked and glanced over at the redhead.

"Guetta's already a Downworlder. Vampire? Ever seen him in the daylight?"

"Can you two focus? This is not a joke." Alec said, and shook his head. Isabelle rolled her eyes before paying attention.

"Someone needs to get slayed." Izzy mumbled

"Alec's right now, Magnus is one of the most powerful warlocks I've ever known." Hodge said before turning around to face them all. "He has a deep mistrust of Shadowhunters."

"Well, then why did he help my mom remove my memories? Isn't she a Shadowhunter?" Clary asked, she looked over at her sister who had been dazing off.

"Yes, one of the "help" might not be the most accurate word. Now, did Magnus provide a service for Jocelyn? Perhaps. But more than likely, your mother paid Magnus handsomely for his magic."

"Warlocks usually require payment before they help anyone with anything. " Jace said before taking a seat beside Alec.

"Word from the Clave is that most of the warlocks have gone into hiding since Valentine began hunting them." Alec said

"So how do we find Magnus?" Clary asked

"We don't. Magnus finds us, we'll set up a meeting, somewhere protected. Lure him out of hiding." Jace said answering, Clary's question.

"And I know exactly where we do it." Isabelle said before getting off the table and walking over to Hodge who handed her the tablet where she pulled up a flyer.

"A Downworld rave." Skylar said and smiled a bit. That was the perfect way to get to Magnus and she knew it.

"Nice, Izzy." Jace said

"And where'd you get that?" Alec asked, giving his sister a look.

"During my surveillance of the Downworlders. From what I hear, Magnus likes to party." Isabelle said, Alec shook his head a bit and sighed.

"He'll never go for it." Alec said "Not with Valentine trying to kill him."

"Of course he will, he'll blend in and hide in plain sight." Jace said, Skylar got off the table and crossed her arms over her chest.

"He'll be there, I can guarantee that but he's gonna need a push...a small one." Skylar said. "Something to get his attention."

"Come with me." Hodge said, they all exchanged looks before following him over. Hodge led them away, he bent down and used his stele. Clary watched as he suddenly pulled out a bright ruby necklace and held it up.

"Is that real?" Isabelle asked, mesmerized by how beautiful it looked.

"A four-karat, unheated Burmese ruby-" Hodge began to explain before Skylar stepped forward and spoke.

"And this necklace has special meaning to Magnus Bane as it was a gift from him to his then lover, Camille Belcourt." Skylar said softly as she found herself staring at the beauty.

"What, Camille and Magnus were lovers?" Clary asked

"Warlock gets around." Jace commented before Hodge looked at Skylar to continue since she knew all about the necklace.

"Magnus bought it in 1857 for the price of his London townhouse. Now, the jewel is enchanted by a spell that alerts the wearer to the presence of demons." Skylar said and let out a sigh. She had never imagined to see the necklace in person.

"It's so beautiful." Izzy whispered, breathless as she touched it.

"Magnus has longed to reunite with this necklace. Offer it to him, he might just take the bait." Hodge said, Jace nodded before beginning to walk away.

"I'll send Magnus a fire message to arrange the meeting. We have to get to Magnus before Valentine does." He said...Skylar was pretty excited to see Magnus plus with her around speaking with Magnus would be 100% easier than it just being Clary.
