Hey guys! I received some very good advice last chapter, and will be thinking about all of it when I write the next chapters! I don't do shout outs or anything, but I really do want to thank anyone who has commented on any of the chapters! I don't know if I'm doing this right, but here-

Disclamer- I don't own the Mortal Instruments (I would like to, but I'm pretty sure I'm not Cassandra Clare. You tell me. )

Thanks, and hope you enjoy this chapter! If you have anything that you're confused about, don't hesitate to comment or PM me, and I'll either edit it or make a AN in the next chapter about it.

Chapter Six

At first, I was confused when Jace pulled up in front of a regular looking apartment building. "Are you sure that this is the right place?" I asked.

He nodded, and smirked, "Yes. I'm never wrong."

I snorted. "Yeah, sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night."

The sleek black car pulled in a parking lot, just left of the building. Izzy and Alec's car was right behind us. Technically, Alec is the only one who is legally allowed to drive, but the police will never know. All of them are demons anyways.

After the car was stopped, Jace came over to help me out of the car, what with my dress and all. He bent over and gently grabbed my hand, sending sparks through my body. I got out of the car and smoothed my skirt over. Then, I looked at him. "Thanks," I said quietly.

"I know I'm beautiful and all, but do you really need to stare?" he asked, smirking.

I hadn't realized that I was staring at him until he said that. I blushed heavily. "Sorry."

We walked over to where the other car was parked. "So, this is it?" I asked nervously.

Izzy nodded. "Yup. Come on, wouldn't want to be too fashionably late." She said, waving a pink, sparkly invitation in front of my face.

After glamouring ourselves, we walked down the path to the backside of the apartment building. Glamoured, it would look like a deserted ally way, but those who could see through it knew that it was packed with children of the night and moon, and several fey pranced around the front. They were all dressed in costumes similar to ours, though some stood out more than others. Even though the invite said formal, this really didn't fit it.

There was a pungent smell of something like alcohol out front, mixed with the horrible stench of the trash cans a little further down the alley. A salmon colored glow flooded out from inside the door. There were no shadowhunters that they had seen, and Alec knew from experience that there would probably be little to none besides us here. Apparently, as I learned later, we needed to talk to Magnus himself about something.

"What do ya think?" Isabelle asked me.

I looked at her skeptically, "This is formal?"

Jace laughed. "Yes. It's apparently to celebrate his cat's birthday."

"Charming," was all I said.

We went up to the door, past a faery making out with a human, who looked about ready to be sick. I shivered and followed the rest of the group. Alec went up to the door and knocked politely. After a minute, a sparkly warlock opened up, wearing cat ears and a tail, though they looked suspiciously real. He had glimmering green cat eyes, and spiked up black hair. He was a little Asian looking, and I'd know him anywhere.

Magnus Bane.

He took a look at all of us, his gaze not reaching me yet. "Since when did I invite a group of shadowhunters to my party?"

Finally, he looked at me. He drew in a little breath, his eyes widening with recognition. After we all stepped inside, his gaze never faltering, he said, "Well, it's certainly a shock seeing someone I don't know here. And, who, might I ask, might you be?" He took a step closer to me.

My face whitened, and I could tell that it must look ghostly pale, and the lights certainly didn't help. I subconsciously put a hand over my mother's stele. "I-I'm Jessie Fray," I managed to get out.

He frowned, but only a person really looking would notice it, because his face perked back up. "Well, nice meeting you, Jessie! I'll get the others some drinks here. Jessie, wait a minute. I'd like to talk to you about something."

After Magnus went to go get us drinks, I got a better look at my surroundings.

Everywhere I looked; there were fey, warlocks, vampires, and werewolves. I saw many faeries seducing unlucky blood slaves, like the one I saw outside the building. There were food and drinks scattered on the table, which I wouldn't taste, knowing the consequences that my occur. There was a small bar in the corner, and a couple making out on one half of it.

"Jessie, are you sure that you want to talk alone to mister sparkles over there? We could all just disappear if you wanted to," Jace said, looking down at me, and smirking.

As much as I wanted to, that would only make Magnus more suspicious. I decided the best thing to do was to try and act like Jessie Fray. Not Clarissa Adele Morgenstern. I shook my head, "That's okay. He seems cool. You guys go have fun; I'll catch up to you in a few."

Jace nodded. "If you need anything, you have my number." He had given his phone number to me in the car, just in case. Apparently, Maryse made them all get one. He had also given me Isabelle and Alec's, too.

"Do you want to go to my room for a minute?" a voice asked from behind me. I turned, and was Magnus.

I gulped. "Sure," I said uncertainly, "but only because I'm pretty sure you're gay."

"Right you are," he said, and winked.

He led me down a hallway, where several downworlders were half dressed and making out. Not a pretty image, mind you, that would be stuck in my head for days.

At the end of the hall, there was a room, which was painted pink. Odd for a guy, unless he was gay like Magnus. In the middle was a dark blue bed, but the rest I couldn't make out because of the tornado of clothes that had hit it.

"Sit," he said calmly. I sat down carefully on the edge of the bed, fiddling with a strand of hair nervously.

He waited a minute, taking in my appearance. "Now, spill, Clarissa, why are you here and why I shouldn't inform the Clave right this second."

I looked at him in horror, "Who's Clarissa Morgenstern?"

He half smiled at me, "Dear Jessie, or should I say Clarissa," he spat out my name like bile, "I didn't say anything about a Morgenstern."

I sighed in defeat, and pulled up my skirt, to the point on my thigh where I had my two runes. I could only pull up to the appearance rune, because of the other one which I couldn't show Magnus. I slashed at the rune, and watched in the mirror as my hair changed from dark brown to red, and my eyes from hazel to green. "Yes, Magnus, I am her."

He nodded, "Why shouldn't I tell the Clave? I mean, there has to be some story about that night. A ten year old couldn't murder someone, at least willingly."

"Guilty," I said in a monotone voice. That was all I could say. Nothing more. Nothing less. Really, physically, even if my mind was screaming vice versa, I could not speak anything else.

He frowned at me. "You're under a spell, aren't you?"

Well, I couldn't say anything. I just stared back at him, hoping he'd see the pleading look in my eye.

"You're not allowed to say anything. Can you show me, if there's any markings or-" he started.

I shook my head. "Nobody would believe you. Not possible anyways. It's best if you stay out of this. Besides, they'd look for me."

"Who's they?" he asked.

"Them. They're evil. I hate them." I said. I tried to explain myself, without the rune catching me.

He rubbed his temple. "I could tell the others at the Institute-" he said. I cut him off.

"No! No, no, no! That's the last thing that you should do!" I practically shouted.

"Why?" he said, then he realized his mistake, and a knowing glance came over him, "the Herondale boy."

I slowly nodded. Right then, the door burst open, and none other than Jace came into the room. His gaze stopped on me, and went from arrogant to shocked. "Your hair…"

I wheeled to face the mirror. My hair! I had completely forgotten to change it from red to brown. "Oh, just something that Magnus was trying to show me." I bent over to make it look like I was erasing a rune on my leg, when really I was making one.

After, I was done, I looked over at Jace. He looked rather skeptical. "I was looking for Jessie, and I thought I heard my name, so I came in. What were you doing?"

Magnus and I laughed half-heartedly. "Well, I thought she needed to have some change in her look, so I had her put on different runes, and when she tried this one, I told her that you'd probably kill her on the spot just 'cause she looked like Clarissa Morgenstern."

My name made his face darken. "You're right. If I hadn't known you were Jessie, I would probably killed you right on the spot," he said grimly.

Then, Alec and Izzy waltzed into the room. "Hey Magnus, hey Jessie. We thought we hear talking in here!"

We all nodded. "Magnus, there's something that we need to tell you, that you might be able to help us with," Alec continued.

Magnus nodded, and everyone waited in silence. "Well, spit it out. I haven't got all day for a couple of nephlim."

Alec swallowed. "Well, there's been an occurrence that we thought that we should tell you about. Only Iz and I have been informed, so Jace and Jessie you guys haven't heard this yet."

I braced myself, and finally Alec sighed. "Jonathan and Valentine Morgenstern have been tracked, and the Clave got a message saying that they are coming to New York where Clarissa was last spotted."

"They've found me." I said quietly, and only Magnus could hear.

The last thing I heard was my own scream when I blacked out.

Okay, don't worry the others still think that she's Jessie Fray, although Jace has his doubts. Should I do a chapter in his POV? TELL ME! The only one who knows right now is Magnus, and nobody heard what she said at the end except Magnus. Tell me if that cleans it up a bit, this chapter was a little hard to write, because I want Magnus to know but it's kinda hard to explain why he can't say anything.

Okey Dokey, Comment and Follow!

P.S- You know, I'll tell you that shirtless Jace will be coming up soon. Look forward to that.
