WHEN Alec walked into Magnus' apartment, he saw Magnus pacing back and forth in front of a chair. The sounds of Alec's footsteps against the carpet caused Magnus' head to snap up and turned to look at his boyfriend. "Hey! You must be reading my mind. I was just about to call you," Magnus walked over to Alec who gave him a tight smile before leaning down to give him to quick peck before returning back to why he was here.

"There's a Greater Demon on the loose. And we need your help," As Alec spoke, a figure stood from the chair that Magnus was pacing back and forth in front of and turned around to look at the couple.

Alec looked over Magnus and locked eyes with the figure and he felt his body freeze when he was who the figure was. Magnus noticed his boyfriend freeze and he turned around to see the figure standing there and smiling at both of them.

"Hi Alec," the figure spoke in a soft voice as they watched the Shadowhunter remain frozen.

Imogene Bane was back in New York but it wasn't for a visit. Her whole demeanour had changed since Alec last saw her over two months ago. Her long brown curls were no longer present and in their place were cinnamon coloured curls. Before she left New York, Alec had only seen her wearing dresses and flat shoes but he was shocked at seeing her dressed in tight jeans, shirt and heels that were similar to what Isabelle would wear.

A chuckle escaped Imogene's lips as she watched Alec remain frozen after a few moments of just staring at her. Her chuckle broke Alec out of his trance and he asked her; "What are you doing back?"

She sighed deeply and run her fingers through her hair. "I heard what Valentine did. I'm here to help," she informed him with a serious look on her face.

IMOGENE

The look on Alec's face when he saw me was shocked and after I spoke, his face turned serious as he remembered why he was here. Alec held in his hand a small bag of what looked like sand and he handed it to Magnus. "The demon has been leaving this on its victims," he explained and I watched as Magnus examine it.

"Oh, dear," Magnus exclaimed before handing it to me so I can look at it.

My eyes widened when I recognised what the sand was and when I looked up, I noticed Alec's brow frowned in confusion. "This sand, it's from Duduael," I informed him which made him ask us; "Which is a dimension of Hell?"

"The worst dimension. Did you find this on their face?" Magnus asked him and Alec's answer was a nod.

"How did he get loose?" Magnus asked out loud as I remarked; "He's been shackled for centuries."

"Who?" Alec asked; his brows still frowned in confusion towards us.

"The demon who taught man the weapons of war. A Greater Demon, Azazel, one of the princes of Hell," Magnus explained which I could feel Alec roll his eyes.

"Right. A real prince," he remarked sarcastically as he moved past Magnus.

As Alec moved past Magnus, he noticed the windows covered up and his question caused an awkward tension to arise; "Why is it so dark in here?"

I moved to stand next to Magnus as Alec stood in front of the blacked out windows with his back facing us. I felt a breeze blow through my hair and someone suddenly stand beside me. Alec turned his head around to look at us after hearing someone moving fast and I saw his face turn harsh. "Hello, Alec," Raphael responded; feeling slightly awkward from the hard glare Alec was giving him.

"What is he doing here?" Alec snapped towards Magnus.

I could feel Alec's rage towards Raphael and I was prepared to hold him back to prevent this situation from escalating to something worse. Magnus had explained Isabelle's addiction to Yin Fen and how now she was trying to get clean...but from what Raphael had told us, she was down a dark and very dangerous path.

"Raphael has something important to tell you," I spoke to Alec who seemed shocked that I was the one who spoke.

"Nothing he says matters to me," he snapped and I rolled my eyes before looking towards Raphael.

"Your sister's in trouble," Raphael told him; ready to take the heat.

"You're damn right she is. She's suffering withdrawal back at the Institute because of you!" Alec's words were steeping in anger as he glared at Raphael.

"She just came by the DuMort, begging for a bite," Raphael said and I could see Alec's anger fade slightly at his words.

"What?" he asked in disbelief at Raphael's words but I could tell he was worried about his sister getting back on her addiction.

"I didn't touch her. You have my word. But there are plenty of vampires more than eager to take a bite," Raphael explained to Alec and I knew Alec was now blaming himself for Isabelle's actions.

"I never should have left her alone," he stated as he began walking towards the door to find her.

As he walked past me, I grabbed his bicep to stop him from leaving and doing something he would regret. "It's not your fault," I told him with Magnus backing me up; "Don't worry. We'll find her."

Raphael reached into his jacket and pulled out a piece of paper. "Here's the address to the closest den. There's a good chance she's there," he informed Alec who was staring down at the paper in his hand.

Alec snatched the paper from Raphael and began walking towards the door; ordering Magnus to come with. Once they had left, I sighed loudly and ran my fingers through my hair. I turned to Raphael and began to chuckle lightly. "Who would have guessed that so much can change in two months?" I asked him rhetorical which made his head shake.

I pulled him into a hug to try and reassure him that it wasn't his fault about Isabelle. This person at fault was the one who introduced Isabelle to yin fen and knew she would become addictive to it. God, so much has changed since I was last in New York...and I don't know what was going to happen next.
