So here's a little chapter for you that I wrote amongst revision. So today it was announced that Dom Sherwood will play Jace on the tv show Shadowhunters. Personally Jamie Campbell Bower will always be my Jace - I love him so much. But I think Dom is the best replacement for him so I'm really happy he got the role. Anyway, enjoy! :)

Everyone portalled back to the Institute soon after their meeting ended.

Clary, Jace, Isabelle and Simon were sat in the library with Cece. Alec and Magnus had reluctantly gone back to Magnuses apartment after everyone insisted that they should have some time together as newly weds, promising to call with any new information.

Clary was cuddled up to Jace with Cece in her arms asleep. Isabelle and Simon were huddled together on the other sofa and they were watching game of thrones on their tv (which Magnus had gotten them, insisting they needed to modernise and glamourise the institute). Clary was struggling to keep her eyes from drifting shut and soon enough she drifted off.

It was sometime later when she felt Cece being taken from her arms that she quickly woke and pulled her back to her chest.

"Hey! Hey! It's just me," said Iz said from above Clary.

Behind her Jace moved and asked in a groggy voice, "what's going on?" From the sound of his voice he had obviously been asleep.

"Nothing, said Iz. She turned to Clary, "I'm sorry if I panicked you. I thought you might be more comfortable if Cece was in her Moses basket."

Jace sat up behind Clary. "Iz, I'm sorry. I'm just a bit...jumpy." Said Clary.

"Hey, that's okay." She gave Clary a smile.

Just then Jocelyn entered the library with Beth on her hip carrying a wolf teddy that Clary had found and brought her.

Clary spotted her first. "Hey mum," she called.

"You just missed game of thrones!" Exclaimed Simon.

Jocelyn gave a laugh and placed Beth down in the floor next to the sofa. "I'm sure I'll live Simon! Maryse needs you two," she said motioning to Jace and Clary. They both stood up.

"Where is she," asked Jace.

"She was in her office. I can look after Cece for you?" Offered Jocelyn.

Clary looked down at Cece and hesitantly handed her to Jocelyn.

Jace took Clarys hand and lead her out the library. Clary soon pulled Jace to a stop.

"Jace wait. Maybe we shouldn't leave Cece."

Jace took her face in his hands. "Clary, she's fine. I know your worried. I am too. But she is safe here. She's with your mum and Simon and Iz. And there isn't one person in here that wouldn't protect her with their life. I promise we will find a way to sort this." He pulled Clary into a slow kiss. "Come on let's go see Maryse."

When Clary and Jace entered Maryses office they found Maryse sat at her desk talking to a projection of Raphael. When they entered he turned to them and gave a smirk.

"I hear from your wolf friends that you are needing my help shadowhunter," he said addressing Jace.

"Vampire," Jace said with a nod of his head. "How much did you tell him," he asked addressing Maryse.

"Everything," she replied.

"So it is in my understanding that you wish for me to contact the Seelie Queen and tell her that it was one of my vampires who killed her men, thinking that they had gone rogue? Forgive me if I do not see what this accomplishes."

"If we are to have the upper hand then then Seelie Queen cannot know that we suspect her of anything which means that she cannot know that it was us that killed her men," replied Clary.

Raphael looked at her thoughtfully for a moment. "And what is in this for vampires?"

"The Seelie Queen has already made her first move and she will make another and another till she gets what she wants. But so long as there is a Clave the faeries will be tracked and punished. The Seelie Queen knows this. I think it's safe to assume that her end game involves trying to take down shadow hunters. That's the only way for the faeries to gain freedom and for the Seelie Queen to gain power. That could mean war; a war which inevitably the vampires will be involved in. Unless we take her out now and this is all part of the plan." Answered Jace.

"Hmm you do argue an interesting case my friend. But how would I connect the Seelie Queen. She is currently in hiding as you know."

Maryse rose from her desk chair and came to where they were stood.

"I'm sure you're familiar with all the popular downworlder locations, I suggest you look there first for any faeries."

After a long pause he gave a nod. "Congratulations. Congratulations you have convinced me." He walked towards the doorway. "Am I right to assume our business here is done?"

Maryse looked to Clary and Jace and they both gave a nod.

"I'll be in touch," said Raphael as the projection of him faded out.

Maryse went as sat back behind her desk and gestured for Clary and Jace to sit in the two open chairs in front of her.

"Well least now we know that we have the wolves and vampires on our side," said Maryse as she let out a sigh.

"More protection for Cece," added Jace.

Maryse nodded in agreement. "I was thinking. Maybe Kaelie can be useful. What if she were able to lead us to the Seelie Queen."

"But how would that work? A bunch of shadowhunters wouldn't be able to go undetected in a faerie lair especially when they are constantly trying to evade us and if Kaelie goes back what if they aren't there anymore or she can't come back?" Asked Jace.

"Maybe none of that has to happen. Kaelie would have to go on her own to make sure that she won't be suspected and so that they don't think we have anything to do with it but what it we were to track her as she went. Magnus could do a spell. One that has the same effects as the rune I made right before the battle where Sebastian was killed. That way we would have a direct eye into the Seelie Court but can watch safely from afar." Added Clary.

"That could work. If Magnus knows a spell. We would be one step ahead of her and any plans she makes we can fight back on," said Jace.

Maryse nodded in agreement. "Right, you two go and rest. I will call Magnus and then Luke to let him know what's going on and to tell him to bring Kaelie to Magnus's apartment so he can try some spells. Go, I'll come and get you if I hear anything else."
