I have now decided to bring in characters that will bring spoilers from a different book series. So if you have not read the prequel to the Mortal Instruments, then you can still read on if you want, there may be some spoilers from the other book series, but you might want to read it. It is a very good book series, and if you haven't read them then I suggest you do. I love that series! But here is the new chapter, with more on Isabelle and Simon.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own The Mortal Instruments characters.
Isabelle sat on the couch in Clary's apartment with her head in her hands, slouched over. Simon put a comforting hand on her back, rubbing circles.
"I'm sorry." Isabelle muttered from behind her hands.
"About what, Iz?" Simon asked.
"I never told my mother about you." Isabelle sighed, taking her hands away from her face
"Don't apologize. I understand why you wouldn't tell her. Your parents don't want their children to be with downworlders." Simon scooted closer to Isabelle and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "I know you do have to tell her eventually, someone managed to tell her for us."
"Yeah," Isabelle leaned her head on Simon's shoulder and leaned back into the couch with him. "Who told her?"
"I'm not sure. I wonder if anyone has been pranked yet." Simon thought aloud. "Does this count as a prank. I mean it kind of depends on who told her. I'm not sure."
"Well" Isabelle began. She went to speak but a vibration from her phone signaled a text message. She opened the phone and looked to see who it was from. "It's my mom." Isabelle whined. "I don't know where Clary lives, please give me her address." Isabelle giggled.
"Your mom never bothered to check and see where Clary lived before she left?" Simon laughed.
"I guess not." Isabelle looked up from the phone screen to look at Simon with a smile. She replied to her mother, giving her Clary's address and waited patiently the rest of the time for her mom to get there.
Isabelle was nearly asleep on Simon's shoulder until there was a knock on the door. They thought quietly to each other on who would answer the door and Isabelle decided that she would answer it. Another inpatient knock came from the other side of the door and Isabell opened the door hesitantly.
"Isabelle." Maryse was standing in front of the door with her arms crossed.
"Mom." Isabelle said back and stepped out of the door way so her mother could come in.
Isabelle led her mother to a chair that was placed next to the couch that Simon was sitting on. Simon stood up when Isabelle and her mother walked in. Simon was trying to come off nice and gave Maryse a polite smile but it wasn't returned.
Isabelle sat down in her spot next to Simon as Maryse took her spot in the chair. Maryse was giving Simon a murderous glare, despite she hasn't even been around him for more than a minute.
"Mom," Isabelle started to speak. "This is Simon." She gestured toward the awkward boy sitting next to her. "Simon, this is my mother Maryse."
"Hello Mrs. Lightwood. It's nice to meet you finally." Simon held out his hand.
She lightened her glare a little and shook his hand.
There was a long awkward silence brought on after Simon had spoken. Maryse has barely said a word since she got here. "Mom, at least say something."
Maryse, having a glare on Simon since she saw him, looked at her daughter. "How did you become a Vampire, and when?"
Isabelle groaned, her mother wasn't being very friendly to Simon. Her mother knew about Meliorn. She must only hate warlocks, werewolves, and vampires.
"I was turned not long after you guys found Clary I guess. I was bitten and I kept going to Hotel Dumort and I couldn't stop going there. When I went there again I was killed by the vampires and Raphael brought me to the Institute and everyone was startled by my predicament." Simon sighed. "So they decided that they would have me turned into a Vampire, since I was bitten. Magnus helped them, along with Raphael, to bury me and well, yeah. It was, uh, it wasn't exactly one of the favorite moments and decisions on my life."
"Wait," Maryse said. The glare was going away from her eyes. "So you didn't really have a choice of being a vampire. Your friends did it so you would be 'okay'. Well as 'okay' as undead is."
"Yeah." Simon said. "If I had a choice, I still would have done it. I know, now, I really hate what I am. I never wanted to be this. But I know I haven't lived out my whole life yet and I didn't want to leave everyone I loved yet."
"Oh." Maryse had tears in her eyes. "I'm so sorry about my behavior Simon. I- I just."
"No need to apologize Mrs. Lightwood." Simon said.
"No, no!" Maryse shook her head. "It was unacceptable. Isabelle, your father won't like this, despite the reasons I have just heard. He won't even accept Magnus. At all."
"I know." Isabelle put her head down. "But I'll tell him." Isabelle looked up and rested her head on Simon's shoulder.
"Mrs.-"Simon began.
"Maryse." Maryse smiled. "Don't call me Mrs. It makes me sound old."
"But you are." Isabelle teased.
"Isabelle Lightwood!" Maryse smiled.
"I'm just kidding." Isabelle laughed.
"Anyways. Maryse, who told you this?" Simon asked.
"What?" Maryse asked.
"Who told you about me and Simon?" Isabelle asked.
"Jace and Clary." Maryse states.
Isabelle holds her chin, thinking. "Did they say if it was a prank or not?" Isabelle stopped herself. "Never mind. It doesn't matter."
"I have a question." Maryse asks.
"Yeah mom?" Isabelle asks.
"It's about your 'war'?" She says
"Yeah Maryse. Ask away." Simon leans is next to Isabelle.
Maryse hesitated before speaking "I want to join in your Prank War."
"So!" Magnus exclaims from the couch. Alec just walked in after getting a shower.
"Yes…" Alec drawls.
"I'm in the mood for some pranking." Magnus sprawls on the couch like a cat.
"Magnus can it wait, it's really late." Alec whines.
Magnus sat up abruptly from the couch. "Don't you complain!" Alec gave Magnus a glare and walked over to the couch and took a seat next to Magnus.
"I know…" Alec sighed as he rested his head on Manus' shoulder. "But I really don't feel like pranking right now. Can't it just wait till tomorrow? They would probably expect us to be the first to prank."
"Then how about tomorrow night?" Magnus asked his boyfriend, gently putting his fingers through his dark black hair.
"Not at night." Alec whined.
"But night is the best time to do a prank." Magnus disagrees.
I kno-"Alec speaks but is then stopped by Magnus' phone. A loud ringtone that made Alec look at Magnus curiously. Magnus just shrugged his shoulders and took his phone out of his pocket. A flashing screen with the name Shopping Buddy, AKA Isabelle, and her photo.
Magnus answered the call. "Hello?"
"Hi, Magnus. I have a request from Maryse. About our Prank War." Isabelle said from the other line.
"Okay, is Maryse with you?" Magnus asked.
"Yeah," There was a shuffle of noises on the other line of the phone and then Magnus heard the calming voice of Maryse Lightwood. "Hi Magnus."
"Hello Maryse." Magnus said, looking over at his boyfriend, hoping for some explanation. Alec just shrugged his shoulders.
"Yes so I was part of a Prank that I did not know about, which led me to find Simon and Isabelle and now I have realized something…" Maryse sighed.
"Wait, why did you have to go to Simon and Isabelle's?" Magnus asked. Maryse gave him the details of what Jace and Clary had told her and how she then went to find her daughter and cause them extreme embarrassment. "Interesting. Now what was your request?"
"Well after I settled everything with Simon and Isabelle, I wanted to be part of your War." Maryse said, her voice showing a little hint of excitement.
"Well before we let you in." Magnus smiled after hearing Alec's mother's request. "We are going to need to get you a partner. Do you have any ideas?"
Maryse made a quiet humming sound as she thought. "No. I can't go with Robert because he is in Alicante. I don't know who I could go with."
"Well we will see about who to partner you up with. Stay with Isabelle and Simon for now until we find your partner." Magnus says, giving Maryse a goodbye before he hung up the phone.
Alec gave Magnus a weird look, expecting him to tell him what is going on.
"Maryse is wanting to join our Prank War." Magnus smirked. "We need to find out who to partner her up with."
"Well my father is in Alicante, and Clary said her Mom and Luke are also in Alicante." Alec sighed. "I didn't expect my mother wanting to join in this."
"Well, I like your mother," Magnus wrapped his arms around Alec tightly, bringing Alec's head to his chest. "She may even beat us at this."
Maia and Jordan had finally found a way out of the silver dust situation. Jordan managed to jump to the kitchen counters and grab a broom to clean the floors. He was very cautious when sweeping away the silver powder. Making sure every inch of the apartment was clear of silver powder.
Once he got to Maia, she helped get rid of the powder with him. To be precautious they checked cabinets, drawers, closets, and even dressers of silver powder. Luckily the apartment only had one room with carpet, which was Jordan's room. They wound up vacuuming that room just in case.
Maia walked back into the living room, throwing herself onto the couch. Jordan moved her feet and sat down on the other end of the couch.
"Let's prank someone, now." Maia said angrily. Maia looked at the side of her hand. The burn was dissolving now, just a faint scar had appeared now.
Jordan did a fist bump in the air and stood up from the couch. "Who do you want to prank?"
"Whoever the hell did this?" Maia smirked.
"Well who do you think it is?" Jordan asked.
Maia closed her eyes for a moment, and then opened them as if she thought of something. "I bet it was the Warlock and the Shadowhunter!"
"Maybe." Jordan sighed. "Possibly. It could have been any of them."
"Well, Isabelle and Clary have been complaining that they have been doing pranks back and forth at them. Clary and Jace were the ones they always prank." Maia thought back.
"Interesting." Jordan rubbed his chin. "So they are the most likely possibility."
Maia just smiled. "What should we do to them?"
Maia and Jordan left the grocery store in a rush. They both had bags of different products in each hand, running down the parking lot to their car.
Jordan started up the vehicle quickly, screeching down the parking lot into the busy streets. They drove quickly, getting angered honks from other cars. They had finally reached Magnus' flat complex.
Jordan pulled over quickly, running out of the car with Maia in front of him. They weren't sure how they were going to get in. But they were going to get in there somehow.
Jordan and Maia ran up the stairs to Magnus' floor. They quietly walked to the front door and pressed their ears to the door. There was no sound coming from the other side of the door.
Maia bent down so she was at level with the lock to the door. She had a bobby-pen in her hand as she stuck it in the lock and heard a click. She stood up and smiled, twisting the doorknob and opening the door.
She pushed the door open slowly and peered inside. They living room had Magnus asleep on the couch, Alec's head resting on his lap.
"Shit!" she muttered quietly so only Jordan could hear her.
"We'll just need to be really quiet." Jordan whispered, and stepped inside.
They were both sound asleep, looking as if they wouldn't be waking soon.
Maia and Jordan walked into the kitchen and pulled out every drink, or liquid they could find.
Each item they had pulled out, they both filled with an amount of sleeping medication. Some were alcohols and others were just random drinks. They put away the empty bottles of sleeping medication they went through. They then put the beverages with sleeping medicine back in the fridge where they were and went to the next thing.
They slipped out of the kitchen and went into the bathroom.
They grabbed all of Magnus' hair products, which consisted of lots of hair gel, shampoos and conditioners, and other products. Each of the hair products were going to now include bleach. The two with dark black hair, would now have white hair.
Then last but not least, they took the body wash from the bathroom and filled it with purple dye.
They placed all of the products back in their places and then started to walk out. When they opened the door to the bathroom they heard a rustling from outside.
Magnus was carrying Alec into their room. Jordan and Maia pulled themselves back into Magnus' bathroom and quietly closed the door.
They were in the bathroom connected to Magnus' room, with no other way out besides getting out from Magnus' room. Maia looked at Jordan scared. Jordan just gave her a mutual look.
There was some rustling coming from the other side of the door, but it ceased. It was nearly fifteen minutes later that they decided they would leave.
Jordan slowly opened the door, and peeked inside the room. Both Magnus and Alec were safely asleep, cuddled together.
They both walked dreadfully slow and quiet, hoping to not get caught, each step making them get more and more nervous. Once they reached the door and exited they both let out a breath of relief.
They ran the rest of the way out of the building and to the car. Jordan drove back to their apartment happy, with Maia nearly half asleep in the passenger seat of the car.
After Magnus had carried Alec to bed he was pondering on whether or not he would take a shower. He just decided he would wait and sleep the rest of the night next to his blue eyed shadowhunter.
He had been sleeping peacefully and woke up happily in the morning. Alec wasn't next to him so he figured he was probably in the living room cooking breakfast or watching television.
Magnus jumped into the shower, making the water really hot. Magnus washed his black hair which was getting really long now. And began to finish his shower.
Alec had been waiting in the living room for a while. He had brewed some coffee for Magnus but Alec decided he would just settle for water. Alec was about to get up and check on Magnus but he heard the shower turn on and he settled back down into the couch, Chairman Meow sitting in his lap.
Alec's eyes began to feel heavy as he watched TV. He could barely keep his eyes open, and he then fell asleep.
Magnus hopped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. The mirrors were fogged up so Magnus had to wipe off the fog with his hand.
Magnus let out a loud screech and jumped back, startled at his own reflection.
His skin was tinted a light purple and his hair was white. His beautiful tanned skin was purple and his dark hair was white.
"Alec Lightwood!" Magnus shouted.
Magnus heard no response and got frustrated. "ALEXANDER GIDEON LIGHTWOOD!"
Still no response. Magnus stormed out of the bathroom in his towel and into the living room. Alec was asleep on the couch.
Magnus nudged Alec to get up but he still had no response. Alec bent down in front on his boyfriend who was buried in sleep.
Magnus screamed Alec's name one last time and shook him
Alec opened his eyes abruptly and threw his fist at Magnus' nose.
Magnus fell over in pain and gripped his nose. Alec looked at him in shock. Alec didn't recognize him at first. Purple skin and white hair, and now his nose was bleeding badly. Magnus must be having an unlucky day today.
"What the hell?" Magnus yelled.
Alec went to Magnus' side and helped him up. He led Magnus to the bathroom and tidied Magnus up. He fixed Magnus' bleeding nose and let Magnus get dressed.
They were both sitting on the couch in the living room now, sitting an awkward distance apart.
Magnus didn't just have purple skin and white hair, now he had a bandaged nose to go along with it.
"I'm so sorry…" Alec sighed.
"Don't worry about it, you probably didn't realize who I was." Magnus pointed at his white hair. He had an angered expression.
Magnus threw away all of his hair products and body washes. He was just being precautious and threw out all of their food to.
Magnus pulled out his cell phone and dialed an old friend's number.
"Who are you calling?" Alec asked, scooting closer to his boyfriend.
"A friend of mine. I think I found a partner for your mother." Magnus smirked as he heard his call being picked up.
Chapter 5! Complete! With only a few minutes left in the day. I'm very sorry. It was updated late in the day. Well at least it is for me.
