Alexander Pov- Clary cried for maybe three hours before finally calming down. Jace and I haven't left her side once since Simon was burned to death. Jace rubbed Clary's back holding her in his arms. "Everything will be okay Clary… Simon isn't hurting anymore."

She shook her head shaking "Jonathan and Camille are liars. I have known Simon all my life and he never acted like a warlock." I sighed leaning on the wall of her room "We know that but everyone else is too blind to see it." She wiped the tears from her eyes and stood up storming out of her room. Jace and I followed her having a bad feeling.

She made her way into Jonathan's room where he was sitting on the floor reading the Bible. "What is wrong with you? Simon did nothing wrong." He looked up from his book sighing standing up.

"The devil tricked you Clary. Simon Lewis was an evil Warlock who was using you to hide his true nature." Clary glared and raised her hand to smack him but I grabbed her arms "Clary; stop it." Jonathan smirked watching her "I suggest you go calm yourself."

Clary pulled away from me and ran out of the room making Jace run after her. I turned to follow but stopped when Jonathan put his hand on my shoulder. "You really should watch who you hang out with Alexander… you never know who you can trust." I frowned thinking Valentine warned me the same thing. I shook it off though and I walked out of the room going to find Clary and Jace.

Magnus Pov- I walked into the barn holding a pitch fork; completely warn out from all the yard work I have been doing since dawn. I planted seeds in the fields, milked the cows, fed them hay, and now I was on my way to collect eggs from the chickens. I stopped half way to the chicken coop sighing "Damn it I forgot the basket for collecting the eggs." I shook my head and turned around going to head back to the house only to almost run into the blue eyed boy I seen the other day.

"Oh um… I'm sorry" He said softly a small blush forming on his face. I met his eyes and smirked slightly amused by this boy. "You're trespassing on private property little Raven." he blushed darker and glared at me "Then why are you here?"

I smiled holding up the pitch fork "I work here for room and board." he looked at the pitch fork before looking back at me. "Are you from around here?" I shook my head no "I'm from the next town over but I thought I could use some change in scenery so I moved to Salem." he nodded looking over me.

His dark blue eyes were even more stunning up close then far away. Everything about this boy was stunning. I smirked at him again once I noticed he was blankly staring at me. "You get lost in thought a lot don't you little raven?"

"It's a bad habit of mine" He said softly and I smiled about to say I thought it was cute, but got cut off by the growling dogs chasing a blonde boy out of the barn passing us. I blinked and watched him frowning "What was he doing in there?" the black haired boy bit his lip and turned around "He stole some eggs. I'm very sorry sir I'll replace them."

I looked at him and smiled "Don't worry about it we have plenty." He looked at me surprised and smiled "Thank you." I nodded and as he walked away I yelled "By the way little raven, my name is Magnus Bane." He looked back at me and I was hoping he would tell me his name in return but he just faced forward and ran after the blonde boy.

Alexander Pov- I ran away from the barn and turned a corner before leaning on the wall of the old bakery breathless. I wasn't breathless from running though; I was breathless from the site of the boy I just met. He was handsome; with silky black hair and gorgeous golden green eyes. He is a man; I shouldn't be thinking these things yet my heart is pounding like I just met the love of my life. Is there something wrong with me? Does this make me a sinner?

"Alexander there you are." Jace said running up to me with three eggs in hand. I crashed down from my fluffy cloud and glared at him, my big brother side now coming out. "Jace; how could you steal from Luke like that, what in the hell is wrong with you?"

He rolled his eyes and put the eggs in a basket sitting on the ground. "It's not like I had a choice, my dad won't feed me." I frowned and looked at him now feeling guilty. "What about your mother?"

He just laughed and picked up the basket "She's so depressed from dad cheating on her that she doesn't even leave her room." "You know you could always come live with us." He smiled "Thanks but no thanks. Your mom has enough kids to worry about."

I scratched the back of my head thinking he was right. "Well… that is true, but my mother thinks of you as one of her children. At least stay over at my house tonight." He thought about it for a long moment before sighing "Very well."

I smiled and walked home with him talking about things we can do once we get there. Once we did get to my house we both lost our smiles seeing Father Valentine walk into my house. I glanced at Jace then the basket of eggs in his hand "We need to stash these eggs." He nodded and turned around to hide them running right into my father.

"What are you two trying to hide?" I bit my lip and glanced at Jace who hid the basket behind his back. "We aren't hiding anything." Jace must think my father is an idiot but I just smiled and went along with it.

"You're home very early today father" I said trying to change the subject. Father Valentine walked up behind Jace and pulled the basket out of his hands "What are these from?" We both looked back at him and I knew we were busted.

Jace sulked as he and I got pulled down the dirt road to Luke's barn by Father Valentine. "It was just a few eggs I don't see how I need to apologize." Valentine looked at him "because stealing is a sin and you and Alexander need to apologize." I glanced up at him frowning "I didn't steal anything I was trying to stop Jace." "Either way you trespassed on his grounds."

We stopped at the house by the barn and I swallowed worried about what Luke would say or do. Also what if his new farm boy got in trouble over this? What if I get him fired on his first day here? Valentine knocked on the front door and Magnus answered it making my face feel hot.

He looked at me and smiled slightly before looking at Valentine "Can I help you Father Valentine?" He looked Magnus over "Yes, I need to speak with Luke is he home?" Magnus nodded and moved out of the way inviting us all inside. Valentine pushed us inside and pulled us to the living room.

Luke came into the living room looking at us before looking at Valentine "What's going on?" Valentine pushed Jace and I onto the couch "These two stole some of your eggs." Luke blinked then looked at Jace "Is that true?" I was praying that Jace would just fess up and tell the truth but he looked Luke in the eye and said "Nope I didn't steal a single one."

Luke watched us closely before looking at Magnus "You were in the barn all day right Magnus? Did you see them steal anything?" I looked down shutting my eyes tight knowing this was it, we were going to get arrested. "No sir I was by the chickens all day and there was no one around. I collected some eggs for your breakfast tomorrow but I accidently dropped them. I apologize."

I looked at Magnus shocked and he looked at me and winked. I blushed looking down again. Valentine looked at Magnus frowning before looking at Luke "I'm sorry Luke I could have sworn they stole them." He shrugged "No harm done Father Valentine… How's Jocelyn?"

He smiled "She is lovely thanks for asking, Clary is growing up to be just like her." I glanced up at Valentine frowning. He always likes to throw the fact that he got to marry Jocelyn in Lukes' face. Parents are always arranging their kids to be married and Valentine got to have Jocelyn because his family had more money than Lukes. "That's great to hear… well Magnus we should be getting back to work."

Valentine nodded "Sorry to have wasted your time." He turned and left and Jace followed him. I stood up and looked at Magnus "I'm sorry…" He put up his hand to silence me. "Don't mention it, little raven."

I blushed at the name "Why do you call me that?" He smiled and patted my head running his hands through my hair "Because you remind me of a beautiful blue eyed raven I seen once." I blinked confused "Ravens don't have blue eyes though." He smiled "This one did; beautiful blue eyes like yours and his black wings were gorgeous." he pulled his hand away from my head and smiled "I have to get back to work."

He walked pass me and I looked down at my feet "A-Alexander…" He stopped and looked back at me "I beg your pardon?" I turned around and faced him "My name is Alexander Lightwood." He smiled, once again looking amused "It's nice to meet you Alexander." He walked out of the house and I caught my breath; feeling chills from him saying my name, before walking out too.

Magnus Pov- I watched Alexander leave with his blonde friend and I couldn't help but smile. Alexander that name suits him so well. The more I see this boy the stronger my attraction for him becomes. I wonder what I have to do to see him again.

He was at the church the other day so I guess that means I'll have to suck up my pride and go to church. "So why did you cover for those boys" Luke asked sitting down to milk the cows. I looked at him wondering if I should lie but I just shrugged it off and said "It wasn't Alexander, it was the blonde boy and I didn't want them to get in trouble." It was half true; I couldn't give a damn about that blonde boy but I couldn't get my latest interest in trouble.

"That boys name is Jace and he is Alexander's best friend. They are practically joined at the hip." I frowned and looked at him "So their always together?" He shrugged "If Jace isn't following Clary around then he is with Alexander."

I frowned and picked up the pitch fork. So this Jace guy is my rival huh? "I hope you know those eggs are coming out of your pay." I looked at him surprised "I thought I was only working room and board." He shrugged "You work hard so you deserve pay." I smiled and bowed my head slightly "Thank you Luke." He nodded and got back to work.

Alexander think's Magnus is Beautiful :3 I think Magnus is beautiful too. Hope you all enjoyed :)
