"Alec, it was another shadowhunter," Jace said.

Magnus, who was clearly listening, raised his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" asked Alec. "Why would another shadowhunter attack the institute?"

"I don't know. Look, just hurry up and get over here, and text Izzy. I think they might be calling a meeting in Alicante. She needs to know."

Jace hung up before Alec could reply.

"What's going on?" Magnus asked as Alec began to put his shoes on.

"There was an attack on the Chicago institute. Jace said I needed to get to the institute right away."

He had finished tying his shoes now and was pulling on his jacket.

"I'll come with you," said Magnus, snapping his fingers so that his shoes appeared. "We can portal."

Alec nodded, quickly texting Isabelle before shoving his phone into his pocket as Magnus made the portal.

Isabelle was curled against Simon's side, asleep. Simon was awake staring at the ceiling when Izzy's phone buzz. He glanced at the screen as Alec's name appeared.

I know you're mad at me but meet us at the institute, there was an attack in Chicago. Hurry.

"Iz," Simon whispered, shaking her arm. "Wake up."

Her eyes opened slowly, forming a glare in his direction.

"What?" she asked.

He held the phone in front of her face for her to read. After a moment, she sighed, getting up and slipping her shoes on.

"Come on, then," she said.

"What?" Simon asked, reaching over to the bedside table for his glasses and putting them on.

"You're coming with me."

Magnus and Alec portaled straight into the library, where Clary, Jace, and Maryse were seated. Jace held a paper in his hand and he and Clary were both looking at it.

"What happened?" Alec said, as he and Magnus sat down across from them.

"We received a message from the clave about an attack in Chicago. Apparently, a shadowhunter none of them had ever seen before came in while they were asleep. They-they cut three people's throats while they slept." Clary said, chewing on her lip.

Alec saw Jace take her hand under the table.

"You said no one had ever seen them before, but someone saw them tonight?"

Clary nodded.

"A boy. He's young, around fourteen I think. He saw the shadowhunter in his... in his sister's room. They jumped out the window as soon as they saw him."

"The shadowhunter killed his sister?" Alec asked, thinking of Max.

Clary nodded, her eyes shining.

"They're going to question the boy at the meeting in Idris tomorrow. We're portaling in as soon as Izzy get's here."

"Can Magnus come?" Alec asked, lacing his fingers with Magnus's.

Jace nodded.

"Downworlder representatives are invited but not required to attend."

Magnus smiled and snapped his fingers, two suitcases appearing on the floor beside him.

Clary, Jace and Maryse had suitcases sitting aside on one of the other tables.

Suddenly the doors burst open, and Isabelle and Simon walked in.

"Hello, Izzy. Samson. We're all going to Idris and you'll need clothes." said Magnus, snapping his fingers as a pink suitcase and blue backpack appeared in front of them.

Alec tried to meet Isabelle's gaze but she avoided it, picking up her suitcase and walking over to Clary. He heard Clary filling her in on the situation.

"Why do you guys get suitcases and I get a backpack?" asked Simon, throwing the bag over his shoulder.

"Your fashion sense is incredibly dull," said Magnus. "You won't need a lot to choose from."

"We need to get going," Jace said.

"Magnus, could you make a portal?" Maryse asked, surprisingly. It was rare that she spoke to him.

Magnus nodded, standing up from his seat and getting to work on his second portal of the hour.

Hey guys! If you didn't notice, the story got a new name! Instead of Broken Home, the story is now called City of Morgensterns. This is because I had an idea for the story and it required changing the name, summary, and editing the other chapters. Nothing major changed, but I suggest at least going back and reading chapter 3 again. This all happened because I just finished rereading the series and I realized a few small things I had forgotten like Robert and Maryse already being divorced, and Alec moving in with Magnus. So, in order to stay true to the books I changed a few things. If you're reading after March 17th, 2017, you're fine. Keep reading. Also, Thank you all so much for the positive reviews, and I'm sorry I don't update much. Please keep reading and reviewing, it means alot. (:
