"This parabatai of yours...will we ever meet her?" Alexander Lightwood as they walked down the steps heading towards Jace, they had a investigation to figure out who has been killing mundanes and draining their blood. Isabelle smirked at his question and looked at her platinum wig before responding.

"Possibly." Isabelle replied and smiled before looking over at Jace. "What's both of your obsession with wanting to meet her?"

"Just out of pure curiosity." Alec replied and Jace chuckled.

"Well according to your descriptions...she's hot and I..." He paused as he walked between them. "dream about her......." He whispered earning himself a glare from Alec. "What? It happens.."

"You are so odd." Isabelle mumbled before clearing her throat lightly. "Anyways....what's going on?" 

"All right, guys, for some reason our demon friends are killing mundanes and draining their blood." Jace explained, his siblings nodded.

"Why do they want blood? Isn't that vampire territory?" Alec asked and Jace shrugged. How would he know what was going on?

"I don't know, Alec. Lazy vampires, maybe? There must be something special about their blood." He replied

"What could be special about mundane blood?"

"You get me a sample and I'll tell you exactly what they're looking for." Isabelle smirked and glanced at her sword that she held firmly.

"We'll have more answers when we figure out exactly who the demons are working for."

"So, you don't think they're acting on their own." Alec said, Jace looked at the screen and found an image of the demon they need to find.

"No. They're not exactly creative thinkers, they're shapeshifters. This is what our target looks like."

"For now." Izzy said before they started to walk off. The three of them headed to the front of The Institute ready to leave.

"Great. I'll get approval for the mission. " Alec said causing Isabelle and Jace to groan

"Come on, Alec. By the time you've sent that message, we'll have killed six demons."

"Besides, it's more fun to break the rules than to follow them."

'Few Hours Before'

Skylar raised an eyebrow as she helped her mother in the kitchen with dinner. She had come all the way from France to celebrate her younger sisters birthday. "Have you spoken to Clarissa?" She asked as she finished up cleaning the counters. 

"I have not...but I will soon. I have  to find the right time to tell her." Jocelyn said and leaned against the counter. "Have you spoken to anyone at the New York Institute?" 

"Uh...yes. Isabelle, and that's all. She's the only one who knows I am currently here and back." Skylar whispered and shrugged. She sat on the counter and let out a sigh. "Oh mom...I can't believe she's 18! So old."

"Skye?" Clary asked as she walked into the kitchen a bit surprised, she wasn't expecting to see her older sister home from France. As Clary and Skylar talked and tried to get caught up before Luke walked over with a gift for Clary. He placed her gift on the counter before looking over at the girls. "Hey, Luke, what's up?"

"Hey! Incredible drawings. Oh, thanks. And I got you these. Spray paint."

"Oh, they're perfect. If I catch any of that paint on city walls, I will arrest you."

"The paint is for Simon's van. I'm insisting they rename the band." Clary said

"Oh, yes, please." Skylar said with a chuckle.

"Yeah. Did your mom talk to you about that? The heirloom."

"Yeah, it's beautiful. Clary, you're 18 now, and..." Luke began to say wanting to finally tell her the truth but she cut him off quickly.

"What is with you guys? I'm turning 18, it's not like I'm headed off on some epic journey." Clary said, Skylar felt as if time had slowed down as she stared at her sister. Her necklace pulsed a bit which made her gulp.

"I have a feeling we are heading off on some epic journey.." Skylar whispered to herself as everyone else spoke, she slipped off the counter and leave quickly. She had plans tonight to help Isabelle with this investigation.

~

Everything happened so fast, it was  unbelievable and confusing. One minute, Clary is outside with Simon and Maureen working on the van..the next minute Jace accidentally bumped into Clary and revealed she had the sight. All this happening as Skylar was inside the club speaking the Magnus as she waited for Isabelle to arrive.  The blonde was having trouble keeping up, her younger sister ended up chasing after Jace...leading us to now.

Jace had pushed Clary protecting her from the demon and he began to fight off the demon that had attacked him. And of course, Clary had to pick up the seraph blade that Jace was knock out of his hand by the demon. Skylar ran over, grabbing the blade out of Clary's hand the moment it began to glow and killed the demon Jace pushed towards the blade. Clary's eyes widened....did her sister just kill someone? Her mind was spinning and a huge mess, she immediately ran off not knowing what else she could do.

When Alec and Jace killed off the last demon in sync, Isabelle walked over smirking as her whip moved back around her wrist.  "Boys, meet my parabatai Skylnn Fairchild." Isabelle introduced her brothers to the one and only parabatai. 

"Wow...my dreams were accurate." Jace whispered before stepping forward and held out his hand for her to shake.  She shook his hand and smiled before shifting her gaze from Jace to Alec. 

"It's nice to meet you both." Skylar said and sighed. "But I have to go find my now scared, confused to death younger sister."

"I'll come with you.." Jace suggested and smirked. "It would be a better way to get to know you." Skylar shrugged and nodded. 

"Great, we will meet you two both at The Institute." Izzy said and Alec nodded giving Jace a don't-do-it look making Jace roll his eyes. 

~

"How did you and Isabelle meet?" Jace asked trying to start conversation with Skylar, they were heading towards her mother's place. She was ready for her mother to flip out on her and yell at her as well. This wasn't suppose to go down like this at all, Clary and Jocelyn were suppose to talk about the shadow world and explain it to her.

"Uh well I was 11 when I was dropped off at The Institute, I stayed in my room most of the time and I barely came out of my room. And then were little Isabelle Sophia Lightwood, who for some odd reason decided to randomly walk into my room and befriend me. And which she did befriend me, and I was happy. The ceremony took place, Alec and you were there...but I guess I wasn't memorable-" Jace cut her off quickly, shaking his head at what she said.

"You were the blonde with blue eyes, the one who would hop around and talk to me? The one who broke my hand?" Jace asked and Skylar nodded slowly before chuckling.

"Ah yes....I remember that. I did what I had to do." She replied with a shrug, they both stopped the moment they arrived at Jocelyn's. Skylar can tell by looking from outside...something had happened...and in a heartbeat...she had ran inside in panic. "Clary!?" She called out and began to look around for her sister, frantically.

Skylar slowly approached her sister and let out a sigh of relief. "Clary.." She said softly, the red head glanced at her sister, soaking wet from the rain and her eyes puffy from all the crying.

"S-Skye..." Clary said and sniffed a bit before shaking her head. "M-Mom has been kidnapped...." This very moment, Skylar felt her heart shatter...her mother was gone...she was taken away from them. In the corner of her eye she saw Dot slowly approaching. "Dot..."

"They took Jocelyn." Was the first thing Dot said.

"Who took her?" Skylar said, stepping in front of Clary. She felt her necklace let out a few pulses, and she knew something was off.

"Rogue Shadowhunters searching for the Mortal Cup." Skylar's eyes widened a bit at the mention of the mortal cup, she gulped and shook her head a bit. She knew about the mortal cup and how her mother may have stolen it from someone important.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Clary asked glancing at her sister then at Dot.

"Think, Clary. Did your mother ever talk to you about a cup? A very important cup." Dot said and stepped forward. "It's gold, almost like a chalice."

"No! No, I don't know anything about a cup, Dot. "Clary paused and stammered. "One of the antiquities downstairs?"

"No, no, not those. Think, Clary. This could save Jocelyn." Dot glanced at Skylar and raised an eyebrow. "Y-You must know." Skylar shook her head and reached for her blade in her back pocket, slowly and cautiously.

"I can't think! Someone kidnapped my mother!"

"You know more than you think you do, Clary and Skylar Fray." Dot hissed as she revealed that this entire time she was a demon, Skylar quickly revealed her blade at the same time and fought off the demon. She hadn't fought demons in a while, in a long time actually. She was distracted by all of Clary's screaming that she had gotten hurt by the demon right on her neck. Skylar groaned and leaned against the wall, thankfully Jace popped in right on time. He stabbed his blade through the demon from behind, her smirked and put his blade away.

"Stay with me, Skye...also...tell your sister to stop screaming." He whispered before cupping her face as he examined the wound on her neck.

"C-Clary...stop...please." Skylar whispered, Clary gulped and watched. Her world was shattering, her hands were shaking uncontrollably and her heart was racing.

"What, no "thank you" for saving your life?" Jace said softly, he was only joking..or was he? Skylar managed to chuckle lightly and stared into his eyes.

"I-I'll thank you w-when you actually save me...from this demon venom...r-running through my veins......" She whispered and blinked slowly before getting sucked into the darkness, it devoured her like nothing.

"Skye!? Will she be alright?" Clary asked, running over to Jace who picked Skylar up bridal style. He nodded and sighed.

"Follow me."

"Mom!" Skylar screamed and sat up immediately bumping her head on Alec's. All she could think about what could have happened to her mother and where she was. She was worried and afraid...now that Clary could see the shadow world...Skylar had to show her how to survive in it and she always believed that would be her mothers job not hers. He groaned and muttered a few curses in Spanish before looking at her. "I'm sorry.."

"It's fine...it was my fault anyway." Alec said, rubbing his forehead as Jace entered the infirmary. Clary was with Isabelle, the Lightwood was explaining to her about the shadow world since the boys were busy watching over unconscious Skylar. "Jace was right, you are that girl...how did we forget about you?" He asked himself and let out a long sigh.

"Well I believe it was because we only saw her for two days and then she vanished." Jace said and sat on the edge of the infirmary bed.

"Yes I did." Skylar replied with a nod before clearing her throat and running her hand through her long blonde hair. "Is Clarissa alright?"

"Yes, she's upstairs....asking dozens of questions." Alec replied bluntly and crossed his arms over his chest. "Are you sure you are related to her?"

"I am absolutely positive." Skylar said and smiled a bit which made Alec smile as well before clearing his throat loudly.

"I should get going, Jace will fill you in." Alec said before leaving the infirmary, the blonde looked down at her clothing and raised an eyebrow when she was wearing a large shirt and shorts.

"Uh Jace...did I happen to sleep with you or what?" Skylar asked a bit confused on how she got into these clothes, Jace chuckled clearly amused by the girl. He saw her revealed shoulder, he moved his hand and softly traced the parabatai rune on her collar bone. "Jace?"

"No, you and I didn't sleep together but in my dreams....we did."

"That's very odd considering that I just met you again after a few long years."

"You have a point.." Jace said with a smirk before he went on to explain what was going on and what had happened. When they had finished speaking, Skye had changed into some clothes Isabelle had given her and that was when Clary had dragged them outside to get Darren and Simon. Apparently, Darren was a werewolf and Simon...was Simon.
