AN: Hey guys; thanks for any reviews or PM I have got and I'm sorry for not updating as much as I should due to stupid school. Anyway I hope you enjoy the chapter and well the wait for me to update again.

Clary's point of view

Magnus gestured for all of us to sit down which everyone except me and Magnus took.

Magnus asked me "How much do your little friends know about your past Clary?"

I lowered my head to avoid any glances at me as I said "Only a small bit."

Magnus sighed and said "Are they ready to know more?"

I shrugged and said "If they think they can handle it."

Magnus nodded and he turned to the others and said "Well you know that our dear Claris… Clary here was alive around three hundred years ago yes?"

Everyone nodded and I interrupted by saying "I love how you still make me sound so young Mags."

Magnus winked at me before turning back to the others and saying "Well unfortunately she also had a particularly dick head of a father and brother and a weird mother."

I made another comment "Well that's one way to put it."

Magnus nodded and said "Well she happened to be the daughter of one of the most powerful men in the Shadowhunter's world; we don't tend to speak of his name unless Clary lets us…"

As he trailed off he looked at me and I said bitterly "I guess I have to tell them don't I?"

Magnus nodded and I said again bitterly "As you three would know I only go by my changed name now but my birth name is Clarissa Adele Morgenstern, daughter of Valentine Morgenstern and Jocelyn Fairchild and sister of Jonathan Morgenstern."

Magnus raised his eyebrows and said "Well that was rather bitter but okay then."

My new friends looked at me and Jace asked "So your father was evil? How was he evil?"

I answered "Many ways, my father beat me and my brother a lot when we were kids, my mother used to watch and laugh along with him, He also did … experiments? That might not even be the right word but he tested different stuff on me and my brother."

Jace questioned me further "Like what exactly?"

I sighed and said "I didn't tell you this last night because I thought that the better hidden it was kept the better it would be but apparently not. My father ,when my mother was pregnant with my brother, decided to inject my mother's food and drink and stuff like that with demon blood so my brother when he was born was a monster, he's half demon, quarter angel and quarter human. It did work for a while I guess but the demon blood took over my brother as he aged and the demon started destroying the angel in him and taking it as demon blood instead. So now my brother is probably not even any angel blood in him.

My father saw his mistake with Jonathan and when my mother announced that she was pregnant with me he decided to do the opposite of what he did to Jonathan, he took angel blood and hid it in my mother's food and drink again so technically I'm not even a Shadowhunter, due to the fact I'm three quarters angel and a quarter human.

However when I was born my father wasn't impressed that he got a girl angel instead of a boy angel so he stuck with Jonathan mostly though he trained me up like a male warrior instead of a female."

Isabelle asked me "Did you ever get anything nice out of your childhood? Like bedtime stories or snow days or holidays."

I looked at my feet and said "Not really, my family travelled a lot so I've seen many places like Rome and Athens and other ancient cities like that, other than them times it was my usual rota of a day, and the only bedtime stories I got were ones of dragons and death not princesses and brave knights and happy ever afters like every mundane gets nowadays."

Magnus then interrupted us "Very touching there Clary but can we get to like the reason you and your brother are still alive and haven't aged for about three hundred years?"

I nodded and said "Take it away Mags."

Magnus explained "When we lost you Clary, your mother found us about an hour later and she told me and Simon and Luke all about you, so instead of losing you forever we decided to put a curse on you. When you laid there dead next to the demon you killed your blood linked together, I put a curse on both of you which linked you together slightly more so when the demon was raised and someone survived the raising of him, they would also be secretly raising you too. We did this so if the demon was ever raised again then you could be raised and once again kill him, when you do this, if you ever do this I mean for this time then the bond will be broken and well you'll either die along with the demon or you'll live a normal life again."

I nodded and let it sink in and said "Wait are you saying that I'm related to a part demon and bound to a greater demon and I'm only fifth teen?"

Magnus considered this and said "Yep, pretty much."

I muttered "Typical, and also what would happen to me if someone else killed the demon I'm bound to and it died?"

Magnus hesitated and said "I have no idea, once again my friend you are the first person to have this curse placed upon you and work successfully."

I sighed and asked "So where is the demon now?"

Magnus shrugged and said "I do not know but I will certainly be looking for him as well as the her version of him and your brother."

I nodded and said "Okay, now that's sorted I can go rest in a mental institution in peace."

Magnus burst out laughing and said "You in a mental home? Oh this reunion is so much better and happier now."

I smacked his arm lightly and said "I'd like to see you in one."

Magnus winked at me and said "But sweetheart, I don't claim that I'm over three hundred years old do I?"

I smirked and replied "Only because you keep changing your age every time someone talks to you, you must be what nearly eight hundred now?"

Magnus held a finger in front of his lips and muttered "Shhh!"

I smiled a proper smile at him and I said "Okay I need some drinks because I don't know about you but I'm thirsty as hell."

Magnus laughed and said "Good line there."

I looked at him and said "Wasn't even meant to be one actually."

Magnus laughed again and asked "So where did you go heaven or hell?"

I gave him a devilish smile and said "Well I'm only here because heaven wouldn't take me and hell was afraid that I'd take over."

Magnus shook his head and said "Go on only I get to canoodle in my apartment long enough to be comfortable."

I bit back a smile and said "Oh shut up Baney Boy."

Magnus chuckled and said "Come on the rest of you out too."

I ended up walking in-between Magnus and Simon which made me feel shorter than ever but it felt more natural than ever.

I told Simon jokingly "Hey Si, be careful what you drink okay?"

Simon made a face at me whom I laughed at and Magnus just shook his head sadly at us and we both ended up chuckling at Magnus.

There was a reason for why Simon was a Vampire. We had been at Magnus' party during the war's day off and another random Vamp had slid something into Simon's drink, which had made Simon turn into a rat and they'd taken him to their lair named 'Hotel Dumort' which in French would translate into Hotel of Death. I and Will had saved Simon from the Vamps and he was human for a while after that but he had been bitten when he was a rat and he'd gone back without a reason and then become a Vampire, and then a Daylighter after that.

When we got back into the party area Magnus muttered in my ear "Have fun my friend and maybe in a bit you'll dance with me?"

I nodded and said a quick bye before Magnus took off and melted into the crowd again.

Simon was dragged off to the dance floor by Izzy and Alec went over to the bar get a few drinks.

I thought that Jace had followed Alec to the bar but I then felt a breath against my ear and a voice whispering "Let your hair down Fray."

Then the pins from my hair came out and my hair fell down to my elbows again in curls and then a hand sorted them out before I whispered back "Is that better Mr Fashion Expert?"

I could tell that Jace was smiling as he said "A lot better."

Then he moved away from behind me and I started to walk through the crowd of Vampires careful not to be touched by one of them.

I stood by a window for about twenty minutes before I felt Magnus' hand land on my shoulder and his voice whisper "I believe you said that we could dance at the party."

I smiled and said "Worst mistake of my life probably but yes I did."

Magnus' eyes glittered with amusement and he said "And I even believe that this is one of your favourite songs."

I went to talk but then suddenly the song came on and it cut me off.

Magnus did a mock bow and asked "May I have this dance my lady Clarissa?"

I shook my head slightly and replied "You may indeed Magnus Bane."

Magnus took my hand and then we both managed to get into position on time and dance properly for once.

I smiled and Magnus asked "You did this with Jonathan right?"

I nodded and said "Yeah it was my favourite one to do with him partly because he loved it and we even learnt it on different instruments once."

Magnus frowned slightly and said "I didn't know you could play musical instruments."

I smiled and replied "I'm full of surprises Mags, even you should know that."

Magnus grinned a little as he spun me around about three times and by the time I had come back to my normal state his grin was gone and he said "It's good to have you back Clary."

I answered though it didn't need one "And it's nice to be back."

As the dance ended Magnus bowed to me again and then disappeared once again.

I went over to the bar and grabbed a clear drink which had bubbles fizzing in it but I wasn't really paying that much attention to the drink.

I thought back to when I and Jon used to dance together at Valentine's stupid balls and parties he held or we went to.

I guess most of them were dances that lovers were meant to do but technically my father did want me to marry Jon to keep our bloodlines 'pure'.

I felt a hand rest on my arm and I snapped out of my thinking mode and saw that it was Jace.

I smiled at him slightly and asked "You having a good time?"

Jace shrugged and answered "Your friend certainly knows how to party."

I smirked and said "Always has done."

Jace smiled and said "I didn't realise you could dance either."

I laughed and said "Yeah my mother insisted that I and Jon learnt how to dance, my father used to hold stupid parties and balls or was invited to them so I kind of had to learn how to dance. It's a painful lesson both physically and mentally."

Jace laughed and asked "Do you actually know a modern dance or anything modern?"

I smiled and said "My modern is very different from your modern."

Jace nodded and we fell silent again.

Alec soon joined us and he told Jace "I really don't like these Vamps."

Jace asked "Why not?"

Alec replied "Well one just pinched me in a highly personal area and it was very disturbing to inform you."

I choked on my drink and had to try and swallow my mouthful of drink.

Alec glared at me which I started choking on my drink trying not to laugh at his face again.

Once the drink was down my throat I laughed and said "Oh sorry I forgot that most Vamps can be bisexual oh dear Raziel that was the best thing in the world."

Alec was still glaring at me and Jace was trying his best not to laugh at his friend and adoptive brother.

Magnus then appeared at my shoulder and said "What's so funny Clarissa?"

I flinched away from him and told him "Its Clary not Clarissa and our poor young Alec here was earlier pinched in a highly personal area and I had completely forgotten that Vamps did that on the occasion."

Magnus chuckled and said "I see, and was it a 'forgetting' or a forgetting?"

I looked at him and said "Oh shut up; just because I've been alive for over three hundred years it doesn't mean that I don't forget something."

Magnus laid a hand on his chest and said "I never suggested anything of the sort my dear Clarissa."

I told him "Good and don't mouth or whisper or say to anyone that you totally did behind my back Magnus Bane."

Magnus stuttered and said "Yes Clarissa Morgenstern, I will not do that as I have seen you quite literally kick ass."

I flinched slightly at my name and corrected "Mags it is Clary Fray now, not Clarissa Morgenstern."

Magnus nodded and said "I know."

I told him "And you say I have a bad memory."

Magnus grinned and said "Well I'm like you said nearly eight hundred years old now so I might have a bad memory."

I pointed out "You're immortal, you can live forever and see the Earth die if you survived that long of course."

Magnus looked at me and said "You really are curious sometimes Clary Fray."

I asked him "Is that a compliment, an insult or a statement?"

Magnus considered this and said "A statement I guess."

I told him "Oh you know me so well Magnus Bane."

Magnus smiled and said "You know I do."

I yawned and said "Raziel I'm tired as hell."

Magnus nodded and said "Go home and get ready for your mental institute girl."

I glared at him but broke off in another yawn and Alec soon went out over and got Izzy and Simon and soon enough we were leaving the apartment with Magnus flirting with Alec and telling him to call him which I almost died laughing at and Jace and Izzy and Simon were chuckling slightly.

Soon I managed to stop laughing and I then heard a voice say "You seem very happy Clarissa."

I froze and closed my eyes and said "What do you want?"

The voice laughed and said "It's not what I want, it's what we want."

I opened my eyes and looked around and only saw my friends and shadows.

I called out "So you're too scared to come out of your hiding are you, jeez got a bit scared in three hundred years haven't you. Haven't been practising either or did you get to the top three hundred years ago, meh can't remember. Anyway where the hell are you? Oh right I see you. Okay show my friends who you are then, show them why I changed my name all those years ago. Show them why I only told them tonight my Shadowhunter name, show them why I hate every single Morgenstern I've ever known."

Jace asked me "Um Clary you're not talking to anyone except a voice but no one's here Clary."

The voice laughed and said "Oh how stupid do you Shadowhunters get these days? 'No one's there, except a voice' ha you think you're all so smart, the only smart one here is Clarissa and well that really is a surprise."

I rolled my eyes and said "Gee thanks, I love being upgraded to smart."

Soon enough the voice laughed again and said "Okay Clarissa, I'll do your wish and come and visit you for a few minutes."

The shadows suddenly fell and a figure walked towards us and I instantly recognised it as my brother's and as he came nearer I walked towards him and soon enough he was in my sight properly now.

He looked just the same as he always had done, the same white blonde hair, the same dark black eyes, the same tall and broad figure and the same everything basically.

I closed my eyes and soon enough the footsteps stopped directly in front of me and I soon heard his familiar voice say "Hello Clarissa darling, it's been a long time hasn't it? Uh three hundred years roughly right?"

I opened my eyes and said "Hello Jonathan."
