A few of you tried to guess who it was that Maryse' partner would be. And only one of you guessed it! I thought it may have been a little obvious. Thank you so much for all the reviews I have been getting! Keep them coming. I love reviews. But this chapter may be a little messy. I didn't even get both of my chapters done, because I didn't even bother with them through the week. So I just kept putting my writing back, and back until the last day. I'm sorry. But I hope you enjoy the new chapter.

Maryse sat patiently the rest of the night at Clary's apartment, where Simon and Isabelle were currently staying. Isabelle and Simon were slowly falling asleep on the couch as Maryse was sitting wide awake in the chair next to them. Maryse was anxious to be part of this battle.

Maryse still didn't know who it was she would be partnering up with. Simon and Isabelle both fully went asleep on the couch last night. She figured she would let them sleep instead of waking them up this morning.

She rested her head on the back of her hand. She could feel sleep soon coming to her was but she couldn't, she was too excited.

There was a sudden blur of light in her eyes that stung. The room around her was changing and she stood up abruptly. The light soon began to fade and the room that she was in before was different.

Instead of standing in Clary's calming home, she was now in a bright living room. She looked around the colorful and sparkly room. She saw Alec and Magnus sitting on a couch beside her.

Magnus was different though. Instead of his usual normal appearance besides his cat eyes. He had purple skin, and bleached white hair. Interesting. Maryse didn't even ask. There was a prank war currently going on and it made since that someone would do that.

Magnus had his arm draped over Alec's shoulder and he had a smirk on his face. Alec looked like he was half asleep on Magnus' shoulder. When Alec's eyes looked up at his mother he bolted out from beside Magnus and blushed.

"Hello Maryse." Magnus said calmly. "I bet you may be wondering who I found as your partner."

"Yes," Maryse replied.

"Well I got ahold of her and she said she would love to do the war with us, and she would gladly be your partner." Magnus shifted on the couch next to Alec. "I don't know if you know her."

"Well what do you want me to do until then?" Maryse asked.

"You can wait here with me and Alec. She said she would meet us here at my place." Magnus said. "She'll be here in a few hours.

Clary woke up in Jace's room in the Institute. Jace was no longer there so she figured he was probably back in the kitchen.

She walked down the stairs and could smell food coming from the kitchen. Jace was in there cooking, he looked over at Clary and smiled. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him as he stood at the stove.

"Is Maryse up yet?" Jace asked. "I don't remember seeing her come back actually."

"I didn't see her." Clary said. Tightening her arms around him.

Jace finished cooking breakfast and they both ate. Jace had been a good cook. Unlike Isabelle who couldn't even make ice.

After they had finished eating Jace did the dishes and while he did so Clary had gone upstairs to find Maryse.

After checking Robert and Maryse' room, she check the weapons room, training room, library, etc…

Maryse was not in the Institute.

"Jace!" Clary yelled as she came down the stairs.

"Yeah?" He called as she entered the kitchen.

"I don't think that Maryse came back after she left to get Isabelle." Clary said.

"Huh…" Jace sighed. He pulled out his phone and it said he had a new text. It was Maryse. "Maryse texted me. She said… 'I'm going to be staying at Clary's apartment, where Simon and Isabelle are staying. The jokes on you, Simon is really nice and I like him. And prepare for vengeance because I'm joining your prank war and my target is you two.'"

Clary brought her hand up to her mouth and stifled a giggle, even though they realized they may be in danger of Jace's mother.

"Well shit." Jace sighed. "My mother doesn't mess around. She is really scary sometimes, in fact."

"The death of us will be your mother in the middle of a Prank War." Clary laughed at the frightened look on Jace's face.

"We should prank Isabelle and Simon again. Now!" Jace stomped his foot. "Maryse said they were staying at your place."

"It's six thirty. So they are probably both still asleep" Clary crossed her arms over her chest.

"Let's hurry before they wake up!" Jace yelled, darting out of the front door of the Institute.

"Jace! Wait!" Clary yelled, running after him. "Let me get dressed first."

Jace turned around briefly just to shout back. "We don't have time!" He ran up to Clary where she was standing outside the doors of the Institute now. "Can you draw a portal to your apartment?"

Clary didn't answer. She had her stele in her hand already and began to draw a portal on the wall next to her. She finished drawing the portal and stepped though it with Jace next to her.

They were both now standing in front of her apartment building. It was early in the morning and it was fairly cold outside. Clary was only wearing one of Jace's t-shirts as her pajamas and she rushed into the apartment out of the cold atmosphere.

Clary ran to her floor and unlocked her apartment door. She opened the door slowly and peered inside. Simon and Isabelle were asleep on the couch in the living room.

Clary already had an idea.

She tip toed over to Isabelle and held her stele out. She placed the stele over Isabelle's neck and drew a Quietude rune.

Isabelle flinched a little when Clary set the stele to her skin and drew the rune. But luckily she didn't wake up.

At least not until after she finished drawing.

Isabelle's eyes darted open and she stared at Clary with wide eyes. Clary froze and stared back at Isabelle.

Isabelle opened her mouth to say something but couldn't. She put her arm out towards Simon and shook him awake, but never took her eyes away from Clary's.

Despite the fact that Clary and Jace were out of the game now, she needed Simon to help her.

Simon woke slowly. But when he finally saw what their current situation was.

He stood up abruptly and grabbed Clary's wrist. Clary looked up at Simon in shock.

"What did you do?" He asked.

"Um…" Clary bit her lip.

Isabelle stood up with Simon. She lifted her hair off of the back of her neck and shown him the dark rune that was on the back of her neck.

"Oh…" He nodded once. "Quietude."

Jace walked up to her and Simon let go of her wrist. "So…" Jace sighed.

"Looks like you are out of the race. You've been caught. And one of the rules, is to not be caught when pranking." Simon crossed his arms.

Jace glared at Simon. "Whatever, you are going to wait a while until that rune fades."

"Well as long as the rune can go away, then I'll be happy." Simon said.

The other couple left in a bad mood.

Isabelle wasn't happy with the new rune she hadn't planned on getting, ever. She sat on the couch and Simon sat down with her.

"Well, that's one team down." Simon smiled.

There was a knock on the door of Magnus' flat. Maryse had fallen asleep in their living room, and Alec was too busy to answer it, well as busy as watching TV is…

Magnus got up from the couch, knowing who his visitor was.

Magnus opened the door and smiled at his guest.

"Hello Tessa, it's been a while." Magnus said, letting her in the flat.

"Hello Magnus." Tessa smiled at him and walked in. "It has."

"Maryse!" Magnus called.

Maryse jolted awake. Gripping at the arm rests on the chair she was sitting at.

Magnus walked up to Maryse with Tessa by his side. Tessa smiled at Maryse.

"Hi Tessa!" Maryse smiled at her and stood up from her seat.

"Hi Maryse. I haven't seen you in a while either."

"No…" Maryse smiled.

Maryse and Tessa began to chat with each other while Magnus sat down next to Alec. Magnus phone vibrated in his pocket and saw who it was. It was a message from Clary.

"Alec." Magnus smiled over at him. "We have an elimination already."

"Really?" Alec looked over at him. "Who."

"Looks like Clary and Jace were caught in the middle of pranking Simon and Isabelle. Clary was drawing the Quietude rune on her."

"Wow…" Alec said. "I bet Jace is pissed."

"Yeah that's more than likely." Magnus laughed.

Tessa walked up to Magnus with Maryse by her side. "Magnus…" Tessa approached him. "Do you have any ideas of where we can stay?"

"Well…" Magnus sighed. "Lucky for you guys, we have had an elimination. The Institute is free now. Jace and Clary were caught."

Maryse laughed. "Well… I was planning on pranking those two."

Magnus laughed and then began telling the two the rules of the war. They both showed excitement and anticipation.

Tessa and Maryse walked to the front door with Magnus. "Magnus." Tessa looked back at him. "Beware. You have a mother and a shape shifter in this war now. And we prepare to win."

OH NO! Tessa and Maryse. In my opinion that is a dangerous team. Tessa can trick them, she's a shape shifter! I hope you liked the chapter. I know there was only one prank, but it wasn't exactly a fully completed prank… I hope you guys aren't mad about me getting Jace and Clary eliminated. Sorry if you are… Who do you guys think is going to win, or who do you want to win?
