*To my older readers: I changed somethings on here.

Mason Blackwell is inspired by Becca from BeCourageous! Though his background and mean personality are nothing like her, she picked the name Mason and he has the whole let there be pain side that she can have! :D Wow, I really hope she doesn't hate me now. If you guys have any cool first name suggestions let me know! I just might mention a few new circle members by name, but no promises!*

Curfew for the dorms comes at 10:00 and it was 7:12. When Seraphina and Isabelle opened the invitation it read:

After curfew almost no one goes out

Though they look incase one is about

Outside the gate there eyes are still keen

But in between we wouldn't be seen

We'll form a circle that won't stop

Achieving that which no others have

Bring your invitation

Tell no one. We will know.

There were rules the school had about curfew. Even though shadowhunters, at a young age, were expected of a lot; there were still curfews set. You have to at least be in your dorm. The note was obviously talking about curfew but the rest was hard to understanding.

In between the school grounds and outside? A place we cant be seen? She thought of the conversation in the hallway between the girl who now had a name; Aleah Pangborn and the boy she was with. How they were talking about a circle, and mostly likely the one her father had started.

"Isabelle this is what I had wanted to tell you," Seraphina turned to Isabelle who was looking at the simple piece of lined paper that made up the note.

"I saw that girl; Aleah with her parabatai in the hallway on my way to math. They were arguing about a circle and I think its the circle my father formed,"

"Wait, what exactly did they say in the hallway,"

"The only thing I heard was that the circle will just have a different goal,"

My mother never talks about it but she said it was a big mistake, Ser we cant join something like this,"

"What are we going to do?"

"Were going to go talk to the boys,"

Girls were allowed in the boys dormitory during the day, but strict rules went with it. Though it seemed to fall on the student to carry that out, except for the small number of cameras in the commons room, hallways, and kitchen that was both in the boys and girls dorm.

Seraphina would go get Jonathan from his dorm and meet Isabelle at the dorm the other two boys were sharing.

Isabelle knocked on her brother's door, and was greeted by Jace.

"Hey Izzy, what's up," Jace smiled, but it lasted only a second. "So you got one too,"

"Yeah," Isabelle sighed. "Seraphina went to get Jonathan, and they'll meet us here,"

"Oh, hey Isabelle, come in," her brother Alec appeared at the door.

Isabelle got right to the point, without wasting any time. "Seraphina and I think this is the same circle that our parents had formed,"

"That's what we were wondering, but why don't we wait for the others," Alec rubbed his head.

Isabelle looked around the room. One side obviously belonged to Jace. It was neater than Isabelle thought possible.

His bed was made, his desk clear, and his various swords were laid out on the dresser according to size. The other side was like seeing the complete opposite.

Alec's bed looked like he just got out of it, and his bow was up against the walls. His arrows were all on his dresser, and his dirty clothes were on the floor by his bed.

Seraphina and Jonathan came in a few minutes later.

"Hi guys," she noticed Jace was staring at her again the moment she came in.

"Hey Ser," Jace smiled at her.

Seraphina blushed, and Jonathans temper returned when his realized what was happening.

"Anyway," he said harshly. "what are we going to do about this?"

"Play along," Jace said, like it was obvious.

"Yeah, and if we get caught?" Alec's eyebrows were raised in question.

"We...collect evidence and give it to the clave. We can try to tell them...what we were doing," Seraphina offered.

"The Clave won't listen," Isabelle said. It was true the Clave believed what it believed and no one could say otherwise. "...but," she said slowly. "We should do it anyway,"

"Today at school I saw both of them, the boy and girl who delivered the invitations, I mean. They were talking about the circle having different goals," Seraphina looked down at her feet. "I'm sure its the one our father formed," she looked at Jonathan.

"Ok, so we'll go, we can see what's going on, and then we'll make the decision," Jace said.

"Its after curfew," Alec sighed and shook his head. "And were are we suppose to go anyway?"

"In between the gate and around the grounds. The would have to be in between the school building and the dormitories. The teachers building is behind ours a little ways. But in between the school and the dormitories I think there are groups of picnic tables that they don't keep lit by witchlight," Jonathan guessed, but he seemed confidante.

"And how would you know," Jace glared at him.

"I had a few sleepless nights last year," Jonathan admitted.

"Oh, did Jonathan miss his mommy and daddy," Jace teased.

Jonathan stood up, and so did Seraphina. She tried to push him back into his seat, but it was hard. He was much stronger than she was.

"Jonathan, it doesn't matter!" she yelled at him.

"Well at least my parents love each other," Jonathan smiled at Jace. It was true Jace's mother Céline Montclaire and his father Stephen Herondale had split after realizing they didn't love each other enough. Stephen married Amatis Greymark.

Then Jace stood up and punch Jonathan in the face, before anyone including Alec could do anything.

Jonathan shook it off and threw a punch at Jace. Then Alec stepped in pushing Jace back. Isabelle rushed to help Seraphina with Jonathan.

"This plan won't work unless you to both stop acting like little kids," Alec was clearly frustrated with everything that had happened today.

"We can't all wait here though," Isabelle said. "So me and Seraphina will meet you somewhere.

"What about the cameras?" Alec asked, still thinking of the risks to leaving after curfew.

"Alec, they don't really check those unless they have a reason,"

The girls left shortly after and Jonathan said that he wouldn't stay here, but that he'd meet up with them.

After curfew they all met outside the dorms. Jonathan had been right; both dorms were light with witchlight, and so was the school in the distance, but Seraphina couldn't see no light between the two buildings.

They headed toward the darkness with their own witchlights in hand. There was a little distance from one building to another, but it still was a short walk.

When they got there they could see at least ten figures sitting at tables. On top of the table in front were two figures standing on it.

"Ok, so do we have everyone?" It was the boy and the girl who Seraphina had seen in the hallway, and they had passed out the invitations. They started to read off a list of names. Once they knew everyone was here the shorter of the two walked around and collected invitations.

"We will be counting them to make sure no one can bring there's to the Clave," Seraphina realized it was the girl. She put the basket down on the table and then climbed back up on the top of the table next to the boy. He introduced themselves.

Hello, my name is Mason Blackwell, and this is my parabatai Aleah Pangborn. Our fathers were in the circle started by Valentine Morgenstern, so were most of your parents too. We know that most of us aren't friends yet like the original circle, but I want you all to know that there will be no telling the Clave. Understand?" There was something about his threat that made shivers run down you back. His voice was almost mesmerizing though. Is this how her father gained the friends in the circle he had? Seraphina wondered as the boy kept talking.

"Me and Aleah want to have things changed around here," Mason smiled. "but we want different things. She wants to achieve what the original circle wanted to do but ultimately failed to do. I want downworlders to be seen as nothing more than the demons were to kill. What are you guys sick of," No said anything.

Then Jace spoke up.

"I'm tired of the Clave not believing more in the younger shadowhunters like us," he said. His face was expressionless, and everyone was staring at him.

Then more people spoke up. More complaints about what the Clave should and shouldn't do. It turned into an uproar as Mason pulled there deepest thoughts against the Clave out of their heads.

After a while he called everything back to order.

"My mother was killed by a downworlder," all the chatter quieted down around him. "So my father revenged her and killed the downworlder. And the Clave didn't care they exiled him to an institute. He was later then killed by demons and I was sent to live with Aleah's family!" Everyone was stunned. No one moved.

"My family!" he yelled looking savage now. It was so different from the composure he had held before. "I lost my family and you want to sit there and go along with them," he spit the word them out like it was foul. "Downworlders will die, they have to. They will die painfully. Just like I feel pain now!"

Aleah put her hand on his arm, and he seem to calm down. His regained his composure and then spoke again.

"We will meet here again tomorrow," he was quiet, already lost in thought. "Same time, same place. No one speaks a word to anyone outside of the circle," Him and the girl walked away

Then Seraphina felt her ear tickle. Jonathan had leaned in to whisper something to her.

"He's my roommate,"
