Realm of Judas

"Sorry, my dear. It's been many years since I've portaled a Shadowhunter to my realm, I forgot the effect it has on them." Judas apologized, scratching the back of his head as I laid on the ground, wheezing. I rolled my eyes at him. He smirked and offered me a hand, pulling me to my feet. I looked around me at this Demon realm.

"So, what do you think?" he asked me. I furrowed my brows. 'Well, it's definitely not what I expected." The place was a giant forest and currently we were standing in a clearing with a stream running through it. I walked over to the stream and bent over, looking into it.

I saw myself reflected in it but my reflection was…shifty, as if something else was trying to break through. Then a black Demon with horns, fangs, and dark pink eyes was reflected behind me. I screamed and whirled around to see Judas standing behind me, a grave look on his face.

"I suggest you stay away from that unless you're ready to see what it has to show you." He said. I looked at it and then back to Judas. "Is…is that your real form?" I asked him as I slowly came to my feet. He nodded. "Does it frighten you?" he asked softly. I hesitated before shrugging. "I don't know, it kind of does." I said honestly. He sighed.

"So, why did you bring me here anyways?" I asked him. He stared at me for a long time before speaking. "There's a war brewing, Annabeth, and you and Tessa are very powerful beings that can be turned into great weapons." He told me. I stared at him blankly. "What are you talking about? The Magister is after Tessa! She's the key to this upcoming war, what have I got to do with it?" I demanded. He frowned.

"You're not ready to know yet. All you need to know is that you're vital to this as well." He said. I ground my teeth together. "Okay, well, that still doesn't answer my question! Why have you brought me here? To protect me? To use me?" I asked angrily, pulling out my seraph blade. He glared at me.

"Annabeth, drop the seraph blade. I'm here to teach you, to train you. If you expect to live through this war, you will need my help." He said. I frowned. "Okay, but you have to answer my questions first." I said. He sighed, exasperated. "What else is there to know?" he asked me.

"Why did Balik call me Morgenstern? And why did you come for me? Why am I so important to you?" I asked him. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "This is going to take awhile…come, I will tell you all you wish to know once we've gotten you cleaned up; you are covered in filth." He said. I nodded and followed him out of the clearing and into the forest.

London Institute…

"The Morgensterns are a very powerful Shadowhunter family." Henry began as everyone laid their eyes on him. Everyone except Will. He was looking down at the floor, leaning against a pillar with a frown on his face. Henry raised a brow at him. "Will, don't you want to hear? You are the one who asked about it." Will looked at Henry. "I already know this story, you forget." He said. Henry flushed slightly. "Oh, of course, right."

Charlotte cleared her throat. "As Henry was saying, they're a very powerful family. They currently live in New York, where they are establishing a new Institute. Anyways, the Morgensterns have three sons and they had a daughter, Felicity." Charlotte explained. "Had? What happened to her?" Darren asked. "She died." Will said quietly. Everyone looked to Will. "Well, we have already inferred that, Herondale. He meant how." Gabriel snorted. Will looked up and stared straight into his eyes.

"She died giving birth to Annabeth." He said. Everyone stared at him, shocked, except for Henry and Charlotte. "I had no idea…what of her father?" Tessa asked. "To this day we don't know who he is, it was a secret Felicity took to the grave." Henry spoke. Larten nodded slowly, taking this in. He must have been a Demon, since Annabeth is Magnus's younger sister.

"Well, what does this have to do with anything?" Gabriel asked. "Felicity was attacked by Judas. He attacked her eighteen years ago and…he raped her." Henry said quietly. Darren, Jem, and Tessa gasped. Will sighed. "She had a miscarriage." He said quietly. Jem nodded slowly. "I guess it's to be expected, Shadowhunters can't give birth to children father by Demons." He said. Tessa shuddered. "Yes, she did. And she was very angry, so she went after Judas and killed him, but she also took some serious wounds. She was taken to the Silent City, where she died." Charlotte said.

"Where does Anna fit into all of this?" Jem asked. "Felicity was pregnant with her before she died. She died so Annabeth could live, which she barely did." Will said, gripping something in his pocket. Jem raised a brow at him, but didn't say anything. Darren noticed as well. "Mr. Herondale, what's that in your pockets." Will tensed up and slowly pulled a chain necklace from his pocket where a ring dangled.

"The Morgenstern family ring. My mother gave it to me. She had been good friends with Felicity, so Felicity gave it to her so that Annabeth might have it someday." He said, staring at the jewelry that laid in the palm of his hand. "Oh my God." Larten whispered. Everyone turned to him, shocked. "You just said God!" Gabriel shouted. Larten glared at him.

"Yes, observant are we?" he sneered before he looked at Will, Henry, and Charlotte. "Annabeth doesn't know who she is, does she?" he asked. Charlotte bit her lip and shook her head. "Brother Enoch said it would be better if she didn't know, in case another Demon, a friend of Judas's, came for her to get revenge." She answered. Larten shook his head.

"Wait…but that still doesn't answer one question. How can Judas still be alive?" Tessa asked, voicing the question that was running through everyone's mind.

Suddenly, there was a sucking sound and a Portal opened. Out stepped Annabeth…followed by Judas.
