"What do we do now then?"asked Alec, "How can we keep Clary safe? If the warlock is using glamour's how is she able to tell who is real and who isn't? " Magnus lent forward in his chair. "You make a good point Alexander. I suggest that Clary is not left alone, she needs somebody with her at all times, Actually having two people would be better. The warlock cannot use more than one glamour at once so Clary will always be with at least one genuine person, if he retunes. " said Magnus. Joclyn leant forward. "I want to speak to my daughter alone." Jace lifted his head. "Clary does not know that you know. what if I came with you?" Joclyn shook her head. "You may wait outside but I want to speak to her first." she said.

Maryce joined the conversation "Joclyn should speak to Clary first. Myself and Jace will wait outside and shall join you when you are ready. Magnus and Alec stayed in the library whilst Joclyn, Maryce and Jace made their way up to Clary's room.

As they approached Clary's door they listened for a moment before knocking, "she may be asleep" Jace suggested "she was exhausted". Joclyn slowly opened the door and stepped in to her daughters room. "Clary, Clary are you in here?"she asked. Jace turned to face Maryce he knew something was terribly wrong. "Joclyn is she okay?" Maryce asked. Joclyn replied "She is not in here". Without a second thought Jace burst into the room. He looked around his girlfriends room "This isn't right. There's a sword in the middle of the floor. that one hangs on the top of that cabinet." He looked toward his girlfriends mother "This isn't good. Issabelle may have returned." he said. Maryce looked towards her son. "Don't panic, I will go get the others. check all of the places Clary would go." she said then she quickly vanished out of the room and headed back toward the library.

"Jace where could she have gone?" Joclyn asked. "let's check my room and then Alec's. Alec has really been looking after her. she might have gone their if she couldn't find me. " Jace said. Jace opened his bedroom door and quickly regretted doing so. although Clary wasn't there Jace hadn't thought about the fact that some of her clothes and underwear where disregarded on the floor. Joclyn let out a small gasp and Jace felt the flush of embarrassment. "I.. I.. didn't realise they where there..sorry." Jace whispered.

"Well seen as she pregnant Jace Its pretty clear what you too have been up to. Only the angel knows when the hell she got pregnant. Not that I approve of it considering the fact you are children.". Joclyn let out a sigh. "My poor baby." she said as s single tear ran down her cheek. Jace forced himself to look towards her. "I know in eyes of the clave we are only children... but I am 18 soon and although we are seen as children Clary has faced much worse than the majority of retired shadowhunters ever have. she's strong, like you." he said. "Maybe so" Joclyn replied "Let's check Alec's room as you said." Jace nodded in agreement and they walked out of Jace's room, He hoped he could leave his embarrassment behind the door as he closed it.

As the opened the door they found a rather panicked looking Alec. He turned to his brother. "I've checked Issabelles room, the library and the music room she's not anywhere." Alec said. Magnus has gone to check the infirmary and the weapons room. Jace shook his head "if Clary is here she's most likely to go up to the greenhouse. she loves it up there." Before anyone had time to speak Jace left the room and ran up the stairs towards the green house doors. Although nobody had physically said it out loud they all knew that Clary was probably no longer within the institute.

Maryce returned alongside Magnus to Alec's room. The both remained silent and simply shook their heads. "Mum, do you think somebody has taken her?" asked Alec. "Alec I honestly don't know Darling" she replied.

"what do we do now then" Joclyn asked. "My pregnant daughter may be missing and we are all just standing here!" Watching Joclyn now Alec could tell where Clary got her fiery personality from. Magnus quickly interrupted " I shall go and examine Clary's room if any magic has taken place there I shall be able to identify it." He and Alec walked up the corridor leaving just Jocyln and Maryce together.

The two women stood in silence for a moment. they then stepped out of Alec's room and on to the corridor. "how did our lives end up like this Maryce? i thought thing could finally begin to be normal after... after their deaths." Jocyln didn't have to say her ex-husbands and her sons names. Maryce understood who she meant she reached over and took hold of Joclyn's hand. "We will get through this and get our daughters back" she said, she then added "and our grandson or granddaughter." Joclyn half smiled. "I hope so."

As they reached Clary's door Alec was stood waiting for them. "Magnus said there has defiantly been a portal created in Clary's room within the past hour but he also said that more than one person passed through it." Although Alec's voice was calm, his true emotions where shown by the tears in his eyes.

"what else will he be able to determine?" asked Maryce. Magnus shouted for them to step into the room. As they entered Magnus was stood in the centre of the room. His hands where held out in front of him and they were surrounded by a blue glow. "There has been another warlock in this room" he said "I can feel the lingering sense of him. I have an idea, a spell which if works correctly will show us what happened in the last few moments before the portal was created. But it will take some time to be prepared and it may not be pleasant to watch." Once Magnus finished speaking he looked the faces of the other people in the room. They all had the same pale faces, including red rings around their eyes and sparkling tears.

Maryce was the next person to speak. "Very well Magnus. I trust that you can make the spell work as quickly as possible. Please inform us as soon as it is able to be cast. I'm going to find Jace he needs to know what's happened..."
