"you know that my cooking terrible" said Isabelle
"yeah but I'm going to teach you" said Simon getting ingredients out " baking a cake isn't that hard" he handed her a bowl and two eggs" crack the eggs against the side of the bowl" he demonstrated with the first egg " now you"
she cracked the egg against the bowl spilling shell and egg "sorry" she said
Simon laughed "It's okay we have more eggs"
A knock at the door interrupted Simons laughter " I swear I was teaching your sister to cook, Jace" he said innocently
"this letter came for you" said Jace handing Isabelle the letter
"It's addressed to all of us Simon and Magnus included
"What does it say?" asked Jace intrigued
The letter read:
Dear Mr Jonathan Herondale, Cassandra Fairchild, Alexandra Lightwood, Isabelle Lightwood, Magnus Bane and Simon Lewis are invited to Mother Grande's ball. Please go to King's cross Station, London, on the 25th of October at 12 noon were transport will await.
"How did they know I was a Herondale?" Jace said angrily " to every Shadowhunter and Downworlder I'm a Lightwood"
"this person knows the address of Clary's house we should tell the Shadowhunters in Idris" said Simon
"No we have to deal with this ourselves" said Jace
"At least get Clary, Alec, and Magnus' agreement they don't even know about the letter" said Isabelle
Half an hour later Jace, Clary, Simon, Isabelle, Alec and Magnus were sitting around the dining table
"We should go" said Jace
"Hang on we don't know anythi-"
"yes, Alec we do, we have to go to this ball in London"
"but it could be anything, it could be a demon messing with us, trying to trap us" said Simon
"Demons couldn't do that" said Jace
"We are due a trip to visit Emma and the Blackthorns" said Clary " and I'm curious as to how they got my address and our names, I think we should visit Emma and the Blackthorns and then go to this ball at least then we know Shadowhunters are nearby"
"okay" said Alec "but we tell mom and dad that we're going to London"
They all agreed and headed home.
