I'm SOOOO sorry! I worried this wouldn't be done in time. It's only a day late! I'm sorry! This chapter, is a lot shorter than normal and I'm very sorry. I had a performance this weekend at a basketball game, because I'm a major band geek. I normally write on the weekends and since I had that game to be at, it took away a lot of my time. But enough of my rambling and apologizes, sorry but it's what I must do. Here's your new chapter.
Tessa and Maryse were in the Institute, sitting in the library, shifting through textbooks. "What did you specifically need?" Maryse asked as they browsed through the books.
"Just a good book, one that will have helpful things for an amazing prank idea." Tessa said and tossed a book onto the pile that was building higher and higher as they searched. "We'll use it when we really need it…"
Maryse just nodded her head, picking up a heavy warlock spell book and gazed over the pages. Suddenly her eyes caught a spell listed on the page and she stopped turning the pages and examined the spell. "What about this Tess?" She asked carrying the book toward her friend.
Tessa looked at the book and to where Maryse pointed with her finger. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled. "Perfect."
Isabelle and Simon sat on the couch, pondering on what to do in anger. They couldn't get in any room in the apartment, except exit the front door. They were stuck. Isabelle eventually convinced Simon that they should just prank them back, so they switch back the spell, but they couldn't think of what to do that would really convince the other team to take back their prank.
"What if we get Jace and Clary in on it?" Simon asked.
"Hmm…" Isabelle rested her head in her hand and thought. "Well what exactly are we going to do?"
"How about we get them to distract them, and we'll play and put as many pranks in the house as we can." Simon shrugged.
Isabelle put on a wicked grin and looked over at Simon. "Let's get started now," She stood up. "But first we have to get Clary and Jace."
Clary and Jace walked up the apartment buildings steps and knocked on the apartment door. Once the door opened Isabelle's face appeared from behind the door with a cheesy grin and she brought them through the door quickly. She made them sit down on the couch in the living room and Simon walked from the open kitchen and sat across from them.
"What do you need us for?" Jace asked impatiently. It was late in the day and it was dark outside.
"Well, we need your help on playing a big prank on Maryse and Tessa." Isabelle spoke. "We have a ton of pranks planned out, some small, and some big. Tomorrow we need you guys to help distract Maryse and Tessa. Please help us!"
"Why are you so out to get them all of a sudden?" Clary asked.
"Well, we found Tessa here, disguised as you the other day," Isabelle pointed at Clary. "And, she put a spell on all of the doors here, so…" Isabelle stood up. "Come here."
Isabelle stood up with Simon and Clary and Jace followed them. They walked over to the bathroom door. "Go through this door." Simon pointed at the door.
"The bathroom?" Clary asked in question. Isabelle and Simon just nodded. Clary and Jace walked through the door, and the same thing happened. As they walked through the door they weren't in the bathroom but to another door to the living room.
"What the hell?" Jace said surprised. Clary just had a look of shock on her face.
"Yeah…" Isabelle sighed. "So will you please help us?" Isabelle pleaded.
Clary and Jace looked at each other and then back at the pleading couple. "Gladly."
The next day Isabelle and Simon waited outside the Institute impatiently. They were crouched behind two shrubs as they saw Tessa and Maryse leave the apartment and get into a car with Jace and Clary. Once the car pulled out of the driveway and down the street, out of sight, Isabelle and Simon were in the Institute. Since Simon was a vampire, he wasn't able to get in the Institute. So he was setting up pranks around the Institute and Isabelle was placing their pranks on the inside of the Institute.
Inside Isabelle was setting up small pranks that wouldn't be noticed as quickly and some pranks that would be noticed immediately. There were nearly twenty pranks or more setting around the house.
There were only a few pranks going on outside. There may even be some that they won't ever find unless they go outside. Simon was finished before Isabelle and soon she was walking outside of the front doors with an evil grin. They walked away from the Institute and back drove to the apartment.
They had left just in time, upon seeing Clary and Jace driving down the road as they were driving back to the apartment. Luckily Maryse and Tessa didn't notice them, but Clary and Jace nearly gave it away when they got a worried look on their face once they spotted them. Simon and Isabelle got back without getting caught or spotted and waited to hear from Jace and Clary, on how the pranks would be going.
Tessa and Maryse were being drove back to the Institute with Jace and Clary. They took them out to Taki's and were discussing some things they could do to help out with pranks for Tessa and Maryse. When they pulled up into the drive way they walked up the steps.
Maryse nearly fell on her way up the front steps but she grabbed the railing in time before she fell, also with the help of Tessa behind her. Clary and Jace were standing behind them, at the bottom of the steps.
Maryse opened the front door and suddenly blue paint fell and doused her in the colorful liquid. Tessa was standing behind her in shock, almost getting blue paint on her clothes and stared at a very angered Maryse.
"What the hell?" Maryse yelled. "Who did this?!" Maryse stormed down the hall and into the bathroom when, once she opened the door a bucket of pink paint fell, mixing with the blue on her skin and clothes. Maryse let out a frustrated scream and wiped at her eyes, smearing the mixed paints. She looked at herself in the mirror in frustration. She quickly changed and took a shower, washing the paint off of her skin and out of her hair.
Soon she stormed to Tessa who was standing in the kitchen. Tessa was rummaging through the kitchen and pulled out a pitcher of orange juice and poured a glass. When Tessa saw Maryse she smiled and giggled. Jace and Clary were sitting at the dining room table and were smirking.
"Did you do that?!" Maryse said sternly.
"How could we have done it?" Jace laughed. "We were with you all day."
Tessa giggled and picked up her glass. "Yeah, it was probably Isabelle and Simon, you know… Since Magnus and Alec haven't really been able to pull pranks." Tessa took a drink and immediately spit it out all over the floor, gaging. "What the-!" She yelled.
Maryse was laughing along with Jace and Clary. "Not so funny now, huh?" Maryse giggled.
"What is this?" She stared astonished at the glass. "It tastes disgusting, yet familiar. Like a food but in drink form…"
"That's gross…" Maryse frown disgustedly.
"What else did they do to this house?" Tessa looked around wearily. Suddenly Church walked into the kitchen and he had a purple streak running through the back of his fur. "Well except that." She pointed at Church and laughed.
Tessa left the kitchen for a moment to get something from upstairs. As she walked up the stairs she looked around her surroundings wearily. Once she was up the last step she was tripped by a barley invisible trip wire, and tumbled back down the stairs. Everyone came running near the staircase and saw Tessa sprawled out on the floor, clutching her sides in pain, letting out a painful groan from her throat. "Whhhy…""I'm going to kill those kids!" She waved her fist in the air and stood up, walking just a little more carefully up the stairs and walking over the wire a top of the stairs. She walked slowly down the hall and opened her door, not looking up, a bucket of spiders poured down and she screamed as the eight legged creatures poured from the bucket. Everyone ran up the stairs to see what else had happened to Tessa, and Maryse squealed upon seeing the spiders crawling on the floor. Jace and Clary laughed at them again.
"What else is in this house?!" Tessa screamed in fear and curiosity.
Last night Magnus and Alec threw away the fake body that was placed in the flat. There was a suspicious glare from one of Magnus' neighbors as they did so, but other than that, nobody had seen them. They headed upstairs to clean off the floor where the fake blood was and then cleaned themselves up from where the blood had gotten on their clothes. The rest of that day was just a normal day. But they threw out all of the foods and drinks in the kitchen.
They were having weird suspicions that, the reason they have been getting drunk half of the time, is because someone had been pranking them. But other than getting rid of the intoxicated things, they spent a normal day together in the flat.
The next morning Magnus and Alec were heading out, in the mood to prank. They headed to a grocery store and bought different foods and items. They spent thirty minutes in the parking lot preparing the pranks so they could then simply be placed in the house without notice and time.
Soon they were heading to the Institute and to their luck, it was early in the day. Nearly five in the morning, so they only had a certain amount of time before they would be waking up. Alec placed some of the small pranks they had in the small upstairs rooms, Magnus was placing some of their pranks they had planned and ready in the kitchen.
Only a few minutes later they were done and left quickly once the sound of someone's footsteps where coming down the stairs. Quickly, Alec and Magnus left quickly, driving back to the flat, smiling upon their revenge.
Isabelle and Simon walked back up the stairs to the apartment and walked inside. They sat down on the couch and rested there for a few minutes before Simon had gotten up. "Where are you going?" Isabelle asked him.
"No where, I'll be back." Simon said, stretching before walking across the room to the bathroom.
Simon opened the door and walked inside. Isabelle rested her head on the arm rest on the couch before the bathroom door suddenly burst open. Isabelle jolted from where she was sitting to see an excited Simon. "What Simon?!" She had her hand over her chest, where her heart pounded quickly.
"Sorry." He spoke, smile fading just slightly. He beamed. "They took the spell off!"
"They did?" Isabelle said in question and stood up. She walked in the room and wasn't standing back in the living room when she walked inside like she normally expected. She looked over at Simon and smiled.
He smiled back. "Looks like our prank worked."
Sorry, about the delay on the story! Ugh! But now that that's over, I have a question for you guys. Who would you like to win the war? I've had an idea on who it would be, but I figured I'd ask you guys for your opinions. I know a lot of people like Malec, but I know there are some fans of Sizzy, and maybe some of you may want Maryse and Tessa to win. Again, I'm very sorry about this being late. I don't feel very excited about this chapter, it just doesn't seem like a full chapter, and when I read over it, it didn't sound good to me. But it's close to finals week and I'm so busy with studying and school work. I hope you enjoyed the chapter!
