Chapter Fifteen: Umm.. Magnus?

The vampire was now standing in front of us, she was beautiful; blond hair and bright green eyes. You could tell she was powerful, you could feel it. She put a hand on Magnus' shoulder and made him turn around to face her. 'Magnus, it is you. I wasn't sure if it was you, you don't look like yourself. What happened to your hair? It's usually spiked and full of glitter. And your clothes! They're so boring. What are you doing here?'

'Camille, long time no see. I'm here to speak to Raphael.'

'Too long, I believe a couple centuries? Am I right?'

'Yes, I believe you are correct.'

'Very good. Who are these people you are with?'

'This is Alec and Isabelle.'

'They're Shadowhunters! Magnus, why are you around them?' She sounded angry.

'Because Alec is my boyfriend and Isabelle is his sister.' It sounded weird Magnus calling me his boyfriend, a good weird, of course.

'Boyfriend? I see you're hitting for the other team now.' The other team? Was Magnus straight?

'You mean am I gay now? Yes.' This is awkward. I looked at the stairs and saw Raphael watching Magnus and Camille with mild interest.

'I'm sorry to interrupt this reunion but I was summoned here and I would like to know why.'

'Raphael, something has happened to my father. After your visit this evening, my father returned looking pale and tired, why?'

'He drank some of my blood.'

'What!' Izzy and I yelled.

'He wanted to be stronger, more powerful. He wanted to have the effects of being a vampire but didn't want to be a vampire.' Izzy and I shared a look that said Why would Dad want that?

'Who organized the ambush on my parents?' Izzy demanded.

'Ambush?' Raphael sounded shocked, 'There was an ambush?'

'Yes. How do you not know about this?' Izzy continued to speak, I couldn't I was still shocked that Dad wanted the powers of a vampire.

'My brother's and sister's do not tell me everything. But whoever organized this they will be punished.' I could hear the anger in his voice. Magnus was looking un-comfortable, Camille was looking at him then to me, then back to Magnus. She was trying to work out if Magnus was really gay, I suppose. This whole situation was strange. How did Magnus and Camille know each other? My thoughts were broken by Izzy's mobile.

'Mum?' I heard her whisper, 'What is it?' Her mouth went into an O and she hung up the phone. 'We need to leave now! Raphael, I think you need to come with us.'
