Summary: Luna and Magnus didn't always have a father-daughter relationship. In fact at first, Luna hated him. Set 4 years before City of Bones, Luna Lyn is a 14 year old warlock with zero control of her powers. She wants to learn from the best, but what if the best is an 800 year old party animal who seems to bring in a different person every other week? Introduces my TMI OC Luna Lyn.
Disclaimer: I don't own TMI. If I did, Magnus and Alec would be married by now and would've never broken up… I own the plot, Luna Lyn, .
WARNING: MENTIONS OF ABUSE. And some Malec. And probably failure writing...and failure inaccuracies (PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN FIX THEM!)
AN: Magnus and Alec will sometimes interrupt. Anything that is in italics will be outside of the story and shift back to 3rd person POV. Anything Luna thinks in the story will be in italics and have ' ' around the thought.
One: I Want The Best
~Flashback to four years ago, Luna's POV~
I sat back against the chair in the New York Library with my nose in a mundane history book trying to pass the time while I waited on someone.
"Jeez Luna, is there ever a time you DON'T read?" Alec asked. Luna rolled her eyes and continued without answering him.
The guy said that they were from this service kinda like a Downworlder DSS sort of thing. I think he called the organization Praetor Lupus. I really don't care though. To be honest I wish I wasn't a warlock. I'd much rather be mundane right now, where the most I'd be worried about is if the hot guys liked me, not if I would kill them with a fireball while we were making out. Though I doubt I could ever be normal considering I have cat eyes and powers I have no freaking clue how to control. A voice speaking to me made me peer over the book I was reading and I saw a pretty cute guy that was a few years older than me with curly shaggy red hair and bright blue eyes staring down at me.
"You found him to be cute?" Magnus asked, his eyebrows rose slightly.
"Bite me. The fact that his ancestor was one of your exs still weirds me out…" Luna replied. Alec's pretty blue eyes darkened and Luna instantly felt bad. She just decided to continue.
"I see why you asked to meet in the library Miss Lyn. Quiet and dark, but still a pretty good place to talk." He stated quietly. I rolled my eyes. This part of the library was almost always deserted. Add in the fact that I basically live here and you can guess why I asked for here. I came here every day looking for some kind of sanctuary from those damn bastard mundanes that I called my adoptive parents before their house burned to the ground. But I wasn't telling this guy that.
Magnus growled at the mention of the mundanes that looked after her before then. Luna sighed
"They're dead Magnus. Remember that." She stated.
"I still want to have had a hand in their death. I would've made it look so simple and accidental…"Magnus plotted, a creepy grin on his face and a scary look in his gold cat eyes. Alec squeezed his hand.
"Magnus…you're starting to sound homicidal…it's kinda creeping me out…" Alec warned. Magnus just nuzzled his face in his lover's neck as an apology.
"Meh. I like my books. But in either case, what's the plan, umm…" I replied, realizing that I didn't know the guy's name. I strategically angled the book to hide the area below my eyes to hide my face. The guy smiled and sat down.
"Miss Lyn, first off, I'm Xander Scott, a member of the Praetor Lupus. And second, the plan is to find you a warlock mentor for you. I've compiled a list of warlocks that are-" He began.
"None of them. I want to learn from the best. A high warlock." I stated. I knew enough about warlock hierarchy and a bit about the High Warlock of Brooklyn thanks to overhearing a pack of werewolves talking about him.
"Oh God, what did they say?" Magnus asked. Luna ignored him.
And by a bit, I mean a name. Xander paled.
"Umm Miss Lyn, the High Warlock of Brooklyn isn't taking an apprentice. I-I doubt he ever will-" He stammered.
"Look, I want to be trained by the best. I'm not gonna let anyone train me and my training be half-assed.
"Your training wouldn't have been half-assed Luna. Be it by me or any other warlock." Magnus stated.
"Let me finish!" Luna snapped.
"I feel retarded enough not being able to have a proper education. I want to have the best mentor possible. And for that, I want the High Warlock to teach me." I explained. And while it was true that I had a crap education (thank you mundies) I also felt retarded that I couldn't even cast a damned glamour on my face or eyes. I felt horrible and useless.
"Luna Lyn Bane you're not retarded! Those…things gave you the very basics and then just…" Magnus scolded, his anger building. Alec must've caught on because he leaned in and kissed him softly. Magnus kissed him back, melting in his boyfriend's arms, his hands diving in Alec's soft and somewhat shaggy black hair. After a minute of his Alexander kissing away his rage, Luna continued.
Xander must've taken pity on me, because the next thing I know he was nodding and collecting his things.
"I'll see what I can do Miss Lyn. But in the meantime, here. Take this and go eat something. You look like you haven't eaten something in a while. Are you sure you don't need a place to stay?" He asked handing me a 20 dollar bill. I took it and shook my head.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. But thanks. I'll pay you back one day when I get a job ok?" I replied shoving the 20 in my pocket. I was about to get up when Xander grabbed my hand.
"Am I gonna have to help with said 'paying back' Luna?" Magnus asked. Luna rolled her eyes
"No. I sent him an envelope with some cash I made when you hired me as an employee." Luna replied.
"Wait what?" Alec asked looking at the two, his blue eyes showing complete confusion.
"It'll be explained, don't worry." Luna replied.
"I just want to see your face Miss Lyn. Based on your eyes I can tell you're very pretty." He whispered. I mentally snorted.
'He won't be thinking that when he does.' I thought. I decided to spare him of his curiosity and set the book down revealing my face. He looked at me in shock as I stood up.
"Not that pretty now am I?" I spat and walked away, hearing the crash of books on the table. I almost felt sorry for him, but I got over it.
"Ouch Luna. Heartbreaker much?" Magnus stated.
"I never got his answer, but it doesn't matter I guess." Luna replied before continuing.
I headed into the bathroom in the library and looked in the mirror. I had quite a few scars on my face, and while some looked cool, like the ones that extended from my mouth like stitches, the ones on my cheeks and curving under my eye just looked horrible. I have darker and much worse scars in other places, but it really doesn't matter. I was gonna live with them and I knew I'd never be pretty enough for anyone to look at me.
And oddly enough I was ok with that.
"Luna don't you dare kid yourself. You're beautiful on both the inside and outside." Magnus stated. Luna rolled her eyes.
"Do you still have them? The scars I mean." Alec asked, remembering that he never saw any scars, glamoured or not, even though he figured she wore makeup to hide the ones on her face. Luna shook her head.
"No actually. Magnus and Catarina healed all of them." She explained. Alec nodded and held Magnus by the waist, catching the dark look in his lovely gold eyes.
I realized that I had snapped and I felt bad. Xander was nice and he made me laugh when we met up and I really liked him.
"Aww how sweet…" Magnus cooed as Alec muttered "She sounds like Isabelle…"
I wiped my eyes and got a hold of myself, realizing that I couldn't wait on Xander. I had to go in on my own, as dangerous as it is. I looked at myself in the mirror again and took a deep breath.
Magnus Bane, as ugly as I may appear, be prepared to meet your new apprentice.
I hope everyone likes chapter 1. =) And I feel horrible for posting a story before reading the books (I only have the movie, Wiki, and snippets of the books to go on. Please tell me if I've screwed a character up...
