DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, nothing in this story so far, belongs to us [Crazy lollipops/Surprise pairing] that and our ideas for this story, so don't sue us!
When Jacob pulled Isabelle closer to him, her heart pounded wildly as she felt Jacob's heart beat like smashing cymbals against his rib. He caressed her soft cheeks where the heat from his weathered palms made her face flush from the contact. Their lips were about to meld together, his hot breath fanned her glossed lips... until they heard the collision of the door hit against the wall. Isabelle reluctantly moved her body but this caused her to accidentally hit Jacob's nose in the process. He closed his eyes in pain but that was short-lived when he felt Nora's wand jab into his head.
"We caught you" she said in glee while laughing out loud.
Isabelle and Jacob could only see Nora until a fairy peeked behind her head.
"Peek- a- boo" April chanted. And above the fairy's head, fluttered Cole. In a suspicious tone, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Aah I think were interrupting something here"
Isabelle was now leaning her back against Jacob's chest while his fingers lingered around her waist. Jacob tried to silently communicate to the fairies to leave with enlarged eyes and hand gestures which directed towards the EXIT sign. But apparently it didn't come across that way.
"Are you doing a demented a Hawaiian dance?" April queried worriedly.
"Yeah we're going to leave" Nora said sarcastically "so you two can continue your wham bam thank you ma'am"
Isabelle's jaw dropped at the sight of an innocent looking creature saying something so controversial.
Cole flew closer to Jacob, "Besides mister, that cookie deal – it's time to pay up but we decided cookies ain't worth it. Soo how about you just try these lollipops instead!" She said enthusiastically and as she swirled her tongue around the lollipop she giggled, "Come on, don't they just look candytastic?"
Isabelle with her shadowhunter logic automatically shook her head, "Aha, I know your tricks little squirt – we're not that stupid to accept fairy juice. Isn't that right Jake?" She craned her neck to face Jacob. However her smile vanished when she saw, him betray her. Jacob had somehow got a hold of a lollipop.
He looked at her with dilated pupils, "Watchasay?" the lollipop wedged between his teeth.
Isabelle was about to mutter something related to Jacob's lack of brain cells, but as soon as she recognised how irresistible Jacob looked with the lollipop, she was immediately entranced. He tugged onto her hand and said a bit too excitedly, "Comeoncomeoncomeon…let's dance"
The fairies watched the couple dash back to the party to hit the dance floor. They then erupted in cheeky cackling.
"Oh-they-have-no-idea-what-they-got-themselves-into!" Cole said in between laughter.
They laughed and laughed and laughed until April coughed harshly – her little throat getting tired.
The shiny red VW rabbit's tyres sped along the highway against the midnight sky. Embry gripped his hands on the steering wheel as he thought surprisingly how effective the fuel tank was able to travel from La Push to New York. Leah was rambling on how flying motorbikes could not exist as she filed her nails in the front seat while Seth sat in the back like a good little boy with his seatbelt on.
"We've been following the so-called flying bikes for a while now, there is no way we're going to find them – give it up already!" Leah rose up her arms in defeat. It has been over an hour since Seth and Embry supposedly witnessed two motorbikes fly across the sky and descend to an unknown place.
Seth now sat up in alert and gasped wholeheartedly, "Eat your words Leah!… I just saw where the bikes landed. Press the accelerator and go through the gates where the sign says Central Park! I really did see them!"
"Seth, are you even wearing your seatbelt man?"
"Yeah yeah yeah"
"Chill out, guys…yes we'll find the bikes then we'll find the cheap motel Ed gave us for charity and then we'll go find Jake" Embry said calmly.
The mention of Edward launched Leah into her rant about the night Bella wailed and begged Edward to fund the werewolf trip to New York.
"I swear that daughter of Chief Swan is the most egotistical girl ever! – "
"Hey no way Bella is really nice!" Seth defended half distracted by the scenery outside the window.
"Oh yeah" Leah scoffed, "Come on the only reason that the leech paid for the hotel was because Swan girl was wah wah to Edward 'oh my god, it's all my fault that Jake ran away!' It's always about her. What kind of boyfriend would pay for his enemy's expenses! Next thing you know Ed is going to pimp out Bella to Jake just because she wants a 'ba-by'"
Embry laughed, his body shook and said, "I don't know what you have been drinking but I want what you've been having"
Seth then leaned forward to hit Embry at the back of his head, "Dude! You missed the turn"
The tyres screeched across the road and Embry struggled to turn the car backwards in order to approach the park's gates - only to realise too late that the Rabbit skid past the 'cars prohibited' sign. By the sheer force of a werewolf's strength and his surprise, Embry ripped the hand brake off. Due to acceleration, the rabbit collided with an expensive set of motorbikes – the bikes they were initially trying to track down. The engine exploded and brought the Rabbit and bikes to a halt next to a giant oak tree.
Embry, Leah and Seth just managed to jump out of the car, but not without minor injuries. Seth had his right arm covered in burns and Leah experienced cracked fingers. But it was moments like this they were glad they were wolves who were able to regenerate in less than ten minutes.
Embry buried his head in his hands, "Oh hell… Jake's gonna kill us – his baby is ruined!"
"Oh chillax dude, it was worth less money than your manicure"
"Shut up Leah, it was ONE time alright"
Seth perked his head in interest "French or Colour? And how much was it?"
Leah just blankly stared at both Embry and Seth "You two are SO gay"
"Guys – Quiet" Embry said, "I can hear music…." They all turned their attention to listen to the sound. Just faintly, lyrics were audible 'Too Sexy for my shirt…Too sexy it hurts'
"How can the radio be the only thing that's working!" Leah exclaimed.
"Ahh Emmett. Remember how Bella got him to install an uber expensive radio for our road trip -"
Leah shot Seth an evil look so he would shut up.
Meanwhile, Raphael was wandering around the park looking for his missing bikes. His vampiric hearing came in handy when he heard the sound of the music which seemed to be close to the scent of burnt rubber. Raphael pushed his way through the bush, and the sight of crashed bikes made his nostrils flare in uncontrollable rage.
Leah and Seth suddenly turned around to find a random jump out of the bushes, spitting verbal vomit of angry Spanish words at them. Their faces were completely frozen in fear from this teenage boy. He was wearing a loose white shirt with opened buttons which exposed his faint chest hair.
Raphael pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to calm down – He just couldn't comprehend why a tall girl and a skinny boy who were practically naked would want anything to do with his bikes. And then he noticed under the dark sky, there was a third tanned man…his back was facing him as he buried his hands in despair. Raphael felt a pang of empathy that this stranger felt so distraught over his own bikes.
He caught his breath when the tanned man turned around. Everything was in slow motion. His hand slowly ran through his silky midnight black hair, the way his body gracefully moved, Raphael couldn't look away, there were butterflies in his stomach yet he hadn't had a need for food in over a century. Somehow his chocolate eyes seemed to be focused on Raphael like he was the only thing that existed in the world. Stars felt brighter than usual and he was sure a comet flew past this angel's head.
Leah felt her stomach grumble and she could feel a burp ready to erupt. She broke the long silence as her bodily function echoed through the park.
She covered her mouth bashfully and smiled, "Sorry guys, little bit too much soda on the trip"
Like a bullet out of a gun, Raphael snapped back to the source that made him angry in the first place. He sauntered towards Seth and Leah and as he pointed fingers at them he yelled words that sounded like "Oh, Dios mío!" He flicked his collar up and continued, - "¿qué has gente estúpida poco hecho a mi máquina hermosa, Jesús espero ustedes dos se pudran en el infierno y ardiendo hasta que poco a poco, incluso el mismo Satanás quiere que le saque del infierno"
"Fuck, I didn't realise my burp offended you so much! I apologise, really I am sorry." Leah said guiltily.
Embry, since he was the driver felt he should take the blame, "Look. I don't know if you understand me, But if those were your those bikes…" Embry pointed to the site crash, "I'm sorry…it's my all fault I wasn't paying attention".
Raphael's frozen heart melted at the sight of the beautiful boy and he couldn't resist his urge to stroke his arm. "No no no, it's not your fault…you're the innocent bystander" Raphael spoke English for the first time smiling sweetly. But then glared and pointed with his other hand towards Seth and Leah, "but these two...Stupid people"
"Listen, I will fix those bikes, I am a mechanic you know. I will make my friends help too – if that makes you feel better" Embry said with the secret thought that he would make Jacob do all the work when they find him.
"You better help!" Raphael lectured Seth and Leah. When he turned to talk to Embry he had to ask for his name.
"So beautiful boy what is your name and where are you staying? I must know this" his smile went from sinister to sweet, while he stroked his hand.
Seth and Leah exchanged looks with the same thought, Beautiful boy?
Embry chuckled quietly, "I'm Embry, and they are Seth and Leah. We have to stay at some motel since some rich bastard wouldn't pay for a high class hotel for us...It's called the Milton Motel"
"Geesh where is your stranger danger!" Seth muttered.
"OH that's a total dump… oh Vamos! Come to my hotel…I own it. It's meant to be a real fiesta. And once you visit you'll never want to leave"
Embry was instantaneously won over by this suggestion.
"Wait, aren't you our age? How can you own a hotel?" Seth asked.
Raphael glared at Seth and ignored him as he dialled his phone. He went to call one of his vampire minions, "Jacob, I want you to burn a piece of crap motel as soon as possible"
Because this conversation was spoken in Spanish, the wolves only understood 'Jacob' so their interest was heightened.
"Don't ask why! I want you to burn down the motel because, it is meant to represent my burning heart…just burn the motel NOW!" Raphael stopped speaking in Spanish and hung up.
Embry whispered to Seth and Leah, "Trust me on this. I think we found our clue to Jacob's whereabouts"
Jace and Clary were also in Central Park, near a close by tree where they had just finished making out and stumbled on a box they were about to open.
"I swear I can smell something burning" Jace said then looked at Clary "Can you smell it?"
Clary blinked, "Who cares just open the box"
Jace smirked as he teased Clary's impatience by deliberately lifting the lid with absolute suspense.
He waved a piece of paper in front of her eyes and sighed, "Love letters, I'm so used to these. But don't be jealous now"
The letter read…
Whatever you do, do not disregard this letter.
My name is Alice Mary Brandon, the year is 1920. But I know when you are reading this, it is the 21st century because I can foresee the future.
And I eye spy with my little eye, your name is Jace Whitlock Herondale. You are the missing piece to finding out my future husband's past. I have not met him yet, but I will. And according to my visions he has no memory of his human life. There is something mysterious about my Jasper. And you Jace are his legacy. So it is crucial you keep yourself alive this year. I am telling you this year, you will be confronted by death and trauma. Hence why I asked my friend, Magnus Bane to charm this box so only the real
Jace Whitlock Herondale is able to open the box.
We will be meeting soon in the future.
Until then, hugs and kisses.
Alice M.B
Clary watched Jace move his eyeballs across the lines on the paper. He started to read it out loud but eventually decided to finish the rest in silence so Clary only knew what the first two lines said in the letter. She anxiously looked around, and wondered how the box was put in the tree in the first place. She knew Central Park was known as the home for fairies so she was sure it had to be a Seelie prank.
However as she watched Jace slowly walk backwards and let himself fall to the grass, she felt the need to lighten the mood with a joke.
"Jace, I wonder if there are candid cameras around here… Ashton Kutcher could be a fairy you know. You know like Punk'd" Clary felt both embarrassed and dejected when Jace didn't laugh.
Instead he shook his head and spat out, "Who the fuck am I? Heron what I'm related to that bitch! Am I a drug or something…I think I'll need years of therapy just to recover"
"Jace, how do you know this is real! It's kinda hard to believe that when I just drank a potion that turned me into a man. Come on it has to be a fairy prank, I'm sure the trio fairies are hiding behind the tree right now as I speak"
Jace ignored Clary's consoling words and slowly picked up the box to hit his forehead out of frustration. A photo fell out. It turned out to be a drawing of a handsome blonde that he assumed to be Jasper.
He placed the picture next to his face "Are you serious? If this isn't me then your eyes must be fucked up"
Clary stared at Jace with a dropped jaw, "Are you serious?"
"Are you freakin serious!" Jace responded.
"I'm seri – I don't care who is more serious or not. You're having a mental breakdown over a stupid letter!"
Jace stood up, brushed off the dirt of his clothes and with the box under his arms he said, "That's it were going to Magnus' party. Alice should be there – even if she is an old woman!"
While Jace and Clary crossed the street to Magnus' apartment, Jace continued to ramble on, "I stayed with that prima donna for a week and he couldn't even say 'oh by the way, you're not Valentine's son' but he could talk for hours about blood"
Clary's eyes bulged and tried to steady Jace to stop walking for a second "Did you just hear what you just said? IF that note was legit and you're not Valentine's son but I am! Then that means that kiss we just had was not incestuous"
Jace sighed, "Now is not the time, I can't deal with that right now. Stop you're crowding me, woman!"
Clary felt a pang in her heart; Did he just call me a woman?
When they finally reached Magnus' apartment, the door was already open. In fact the hinges were ripped off and there was no door. Further inside, the lounge room was in turmoil. Couches were upside down, cracked glass, traces of cake dripping from the ceiling, feathers, confetti and god knows what stain were on the carpet and walls.
Jace went from room to room searching for Magnus, or anyone. But there were no guests. He looked at his wrist watch and it was too early for a typical Magnus party to finish.
"Well that's convenient!" He huffed when he finally returned to the lounge room where Clary was sitting on the arm rest of a couch, reading the letter she never got to look at.
When he put a step forward, he heard his shoe crack a piece of glass. He looked down and found it was a photo frame. As he crouched down to look at it, he noticed it was Magnus from the 1980's with his arm around a smaller girl with teased hair wearing a puffy wedding dress. He didn't think of anything of it until he flipped it over and the caption read "Me and my home girl, Alice M.B."
Clary gasped as she finally finished the letter, "Oh my God, do you think that all this trauma and loss that is meant to happen this year is related to this?" She pointed to the missing apartment, "I don't know maybe Magnus got kidnapped or something?"
Jace was transfixed on the photo, "Alice is immortal" and he showed Clary the photo.
"Like a female warlock? Cool explains the fortune telling"
Jace folded the photo and placed into his pocket and walked to the hallow doorway.
"Wait where are you going?"
"To Raphael's. He always goes to the same after parties Magnus would go to"
AUTHORS NOTE:
Hmm so who would agree a lot of things are happening in this chapter! And we left a lot of open ended questions at the end like...
Where the hell is not only Magnus is but isabelle, alec jake and luke?
And can anybody guess what is up with Clary?
How about we play a game! If you leave us in a review, where you think magnus, izzy alec and jake are then we will send you a cookie in a PM [a preview for the next chapter]. A clue: Think outside America.
Oh and we would just like to point out a coincidental fact that occurred to us. If any one has heard of the popular Max Brenner Chocolate Cafe...you would notice they serve drinks in cups with ALICE typed on the cups. And when we made Alice in this chapt, sign her initials as "Alice. M.B" we automatically thought of Max Brenner and came to the conclusion, Max Brenner was influenced by Alice Mary Brandon.
And for those curious minds, If you wanted to know what Raphael said to Seth and Leah in Spanish...well this is what we typed in google translater
Oh my god - what have you stupid little people done to my beautiful machinery, Jesus I hope you two rot in hell and slowly burn until even Satan himself wants to kick you out of hell
Thanks to our loyal readers and reviewers but if you have read this story and havn't reviewed before, we would love to see what you thought.
