Where was Skylar now? Currently, she was at Magnus's apartment locked away in her old room. She was having a hard time.....understanding why she was feeling the way she was. Her heart ached in ways that she never felt before...Seraphina was helping her someway....alright no she wasn't help at all. In the back of her head, all she was doing was scolding herself for felling in love..with Jace Wayland. Out of all the people....why not Darren? The werewolf, that would have been easy for her to handle...at least she would know for sure that they're not related. "I fell for it, my father was right...I am weak. I fell in love...and allowed myself to get hurt." Skye said, Seraphina let out a sigh..unsure of how to handle this anymore.

"Compose yourself, Skylnn. This is exactly what he would want....for you to feel this way." Seraphina said, and well let's say that what she said got through to Skye much harder then before. She straightened up, and got out of bed, before grabbing what she needed to get out of here. She didn't need to spend another night..crying or letting anything out. She needed to stay tough, she had to...or else she would never win against her father this way. Right on time, Magnus opened her room door and smiled faintly at her. Oh yes, he could see the misery in her once bright blue eyes. 

"Are you up for a little mission, pumpkin? I know exactly who to visit to wake up your mother once in for all." Magnus said, Skye looked down at her blade before putting it away and nodding slowly.

"Looks like...it's mission time for us then." She said, Magnus couldn't help but smirk at how eager she was..he knew all about what happened since Isabelle was the one who had brought Skylar here to create some distance between Jace and her.

'Distance' Was the word that was being repeated in Skylar's head over and over again. She tilted her head to the side and looked at the screen...she recognized many of these warlocks thanks to Magnus. Clary and Jace were also there, the redhead knew about everything and didn't want to say anything to make her feel uncomfortable.

"While this conversation is no doubt scintillating, remind me why we couldn't do this at my place? - At least there we'd have cocktails." Magnus said, which made Skylar nod in agreement.

"I can go for some cocktails.." She mumbled under her breath, Jace glanced at her for a second and shook his head.

"It's 9:00 in the morning." Clary said, Magnus raised an eyebrow as if that stopped him. He needed to drink, he was going through a lot..and Skylar needed and wanted to drink with him. 

"Oh it's happy hour somewhere, my dear." Magnus replied. "Oh Ragnor Fell, a very old friend of mine and loves to keep to himself."

"He was a professor at shadowhunter academy in Idris. Mom was there during that time since it was the early 90's." Skylar said

"The little bugger! That's why he hasn't responded to my fire message. Ever since Valentine began hunting warlocks, Ragnor's been holed up in his secret country house just outside of London. For all I know, Ragnor suspected my fire message was a ploy by Valentine to lure him out of hiding. We'll have to confront him face-to-face." Magnus said, it all made perfect sense now and it clicked very well. Hodge raised an eyebrow, asking the question that was on his mind."You're going on this mission?" Hodge asked

Of course! I'm the only one Ragnor trusts. Besides, I've played my last hand here. Even I know when to fold." Magnus said standing up and turning around, he frowned seeing the last person he wanted to see. Lydia and Alec walking over...Skylar frowned not liking this..see she wasn't pleased with Alec either. She knew all about the situation and she was beyond annoyed by it.

"Magnus, I didn't know you were here." said Lydia

"That was the point." Magnus mumbled, clearly a bit louder than expected.

"We're just on our way to greet a few representatives of the Clave who arrived early for tomorrow's wedding. How long are you staying?" Lydia asked

"What's going on here? Nobody told me about a meeting." Alec questioned, he...knew what he did. He simply was confused on how he felt about this, it was his first time.

"Magnus figured out that Ragnor Fell is the warlock who can wake my mom. We're just bringing him back to the Institute." Clary said glancing at Skylar who stared at the wall, in her own little world...reality was she was speaking to the angel in her mind.

"How can I help?" Alec asked, wanting to do something...needing to do something. He also was well aware that Jace Wayland-actually Morgenstern did not approve of any of this.

"We're just recovering a warlock, Alec." Jace said "We got this covered. Besides, you have emissaries from the Clave to meet."

"You don't want to tarnish your family's perfectly-crafted image now, do you?" Magnus added to the burn, Alec and Lydia began to walk away...after this very weird conversation. Skylar had watched Jace leave, Clary sighed deciding that she should say something about this. She did not need her siblings....doing this..clearly they needed to speak about what happened and now before things only gotten worse.

~

"So brother and sister, huh?" Magnus said as they stepped out of the portal and began to walk. Skylar rolled her eyes and shot him a glare, she didn't like this....and about this. Clary was also quite uncomfortable about this....in case you didn't notice by the way she was acting.

"I don't wanna talk about it." Jace replied, well Skylar wasn't pleased to hear that. There was going to be a point where they needed to talk about this even though she would much rather prefer not to speak about it...but that wasn't right.

"What, so we're just gonna be work buddies now? All about the mission, and totally ignore - the huge bomb that just dropped on us. You know we do have to talk about this and soon because it will only get worse...and worse!"

"Yeah, sounds like a plan." Jace said before he glanced over at Skylar for a second, he couldn't even look at her for long...it made him feel wrong for wanting her....no one should feel that way. "What do you want me to say, Clary? That I was attracted to my sister?"

" Point of fact, brother and sisters are often attracted to each other. I once knew this one couple in ancient Egypt."

"Magnus, not helping." Skylar mumbled under her breath and shook her head at what was said. This was getting weirder and weirder by the second, it made her keep her distance from Jace.

"Maybe this will all make sense when we wake up Jocelyn. Since she is Jace's mother as well, perhaps-" Magnus began to say until Jace had stopped walking and turned around swiftly.

"Don't say that again, Maryse is my mother. At best, Jocelyn is the woman who abandoned me." Jace corrected, Clary had scoffed at such a thing that was said. 

"Hey, that is not true, my mother would never abandon her son. She thought you were dead." Clary said, clearly offended by this..and Skylar didn't have much to say. See she and her mother weren't exactly close...close it was rare for them to get that way. 

"Or maybe she just didn't want me."

"You don't know her, Jace."

"That's right, Clary, I don't. And as far as I am concerned...she is not my mother!" He snapped, Skylar ran a hand through her long blonde hair and shook her head. This could go on forever if it you let them go back and forth like this. Skylar had taken a step

"I'm sorry I asked! I came with you to escape my relationship drama, not get a front row seat to yours." Magnus snapped, he regretted even mentioning a word to them about the current issue.

The mission had gone south, yes they weren't expecting such a death but they learned about the book that was needed in in order to awaken Jocelyn. Skylar was not pleased, her heart had shattered to see Magnus hurting over someone he had known for years. It also made her feel guilty about how he had been killed. Jace and Alec were still on the rocks, but they learned there was a mole.

Jace was worked up, the conversation that included him, Skye, Clary and Isabelle...he acted like an animal. He believed that Lydia may have done this...so Skylar had allowed Clary to go speaking to her. Clary was learning all about this world, who couldn't believe these traditions. 

~

Wedding bells are ringing, this was something that Skylar did not want to attend. Why? She knew about how Magnus and Alec felt about one another. She had taken a seat by Clary, and let out a shaky sigh watching everyone come in and spoke to Maryse for a minute or two. For a few seconds, Skylar and Jace had locked eyes...nothing but hurt and pain came from that.

It had happened again while Alec and Lydia were getting prepared to mark one another.  When something very unexpected happened, the sound of the doors bursting open and everyone looked back. Skylar smirked, glancing at Isabelle who did the same thing as well.  Before Alec had stepped down and made his way to Magnus....and well KISSED him.  

Skylar had smiled brightly when watching this, someone deserved a happy ending. She had taken off right after going to her room, trying to get her breathing under control. Mentally she was panicking about this all. She felt her necklace glow brightly. "I've been worried about Jace, and my heartbreak. We haven't stopped to think about....what he is going to do to me.....when he finds me....he'll finish what he started..." She whispered, this was the panic that she was feeling. 

"Finish what? He was unable to use me at all and you are safe. There is nothing he can do to hurt you anymore." Seraphina replied. "Skylnn, you need to finish this once in for all....end him. Win this battle." The blonde nodded slowly, closing her eyes completely and calming herself down. While this happened Clary was speaking to Jace wondering if anything he said would make him feel better about what was going to happen soon.
