Chapter 20: Tying up loose ends

"Clary, Jace, wait!" Magnus called down the hallway after the two.

Magnus quickly made his way up to Clary and Jace, an oddly serious expression plastered across his face. The smiles slipped off Clary and Jace's faces as the saw the expression on his face.

"We have a few really important things we need to discuss tomorrow, meet everyone here at 1pm, but until then, get a good night's sleep you two." Magnus said with a small smile at the end.

"We'll be here, good night Magnus" Clary smiled back.

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty" Clary cooed in Jace's ear. 

She had somehow managed to get up, shower and get dressed without Jace waking up, and now it was nearly time to leave to go and meet up at Magnus and Alec's apartment.

"mhgmmmmmmmm"

"Jaceeeeeeeee"

"lmheave muuuu oloneeeee" Jace mumbled into the pillow.

"If you get up, I'll go down the market and buy you those really really really goo-"

"MANGOES!!!! OKAY I'M UP I'M UP!" Jace shot up out of the bed and quickly made his was to the bathroom to start getting ready.

~~~~~~~~~

"Okay so now that Isabelle has her pickles, we may begin" Magnus started, standing up and looking down at Clary, Izzy, Simon, Jace, Emma, Jules and a friend of theirs called Cristina.

"So,  what you said Emma, about how you'd notice if your mother was pregnant, got me thinking - how is this possible?" Magnus paced across the living room, the glitter in his hair going wild in the sunlight streaming through the window. "So I did my research and my magic (I'm trying not to spoil Lady Midnight here but if I do im really really sorry) and I connected the dots. The only way Charlotte is possible is that in fact, Cordelia was pregnant with Charlotte but only in the first trimester, so her belly would've been barely visible. Whoever killed your parents Emma, they must've extracted the fetus from Cordelia and used a spell from an extremely old and rare warlock book to age the fetus and mask the incisions on Cordelia's stomach."

Emma's face showed no emotion as she blankly stared at Magnus. "So whoever killed my parents is not only a sick, emotionless psychopath but also a weirdo possessing a very rare and old warlock book, great, just great." 

It was now Emma who began passing are the room until Jules pulled her to the side and said something that seemed to calm her down and comfort her. 

"Okay, so what are we supposed to do with this news?" Clary asked, curiosity taking over her thoughts and actions.

"Well, I'd love to say that I know what we should do next, but in reality I've got no idea, I guess we just keep our eyes out and make sure whoever this sicko is, he doesn't come back to get Charlotte." Magnus responded, coming to sit down next to Alec, who put a comforting hand on his thigh.

"Well, on the note he left with Charlotte, he didn't seem like he really wanted anything to do with her, but if the baby is a Carstairs, why didn't he drop it off outside the Los Angeles institute?" Jace pitched into the conversation.

Izzy put up her pointer finger, signalling to hold on, while she finished the pickle she was chewing. "Well, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be careful, for all we know he's just waiting for the right moment to strike and take Charlotte back and use her for angel knows what sort of putrid experiment or spell.

The room fell silent for a few moments before everyone broke out into quiet conversations among themselves. "Alright well , that's all I had to say, feel free to leave if you'd like."

"Wait Magnus, I have a question" Jace turns to the glitter prince "I know its off topic, but um, do you happen to know how William Herondale, my great great great great or whatever grandfather is, well, alive?" "No reason"

"All I know is that Tessa has connections, a very very powerful warlock called Aylea Constelaţie, she's truely incredible, but I don't know much else, why don't you call Tess and ask?"

"No reason" Jace blushed profusely.

"He's scared of herrrr" Clary said in a teasing tone, earning a 'I'm so getting you back for that' look from Jace. "Alright well I believe I have a market to visit today, does anyone need anything?" Clary asked, getting up and dusting off her jeans.

"Can you get me a few peaches?" Isabelle asked

"Of course" Clary smiled, she walked over to everyone and hugged them good bye, except for Jace.

"You're coming with me" 

"I knew it!" Jace smirks

"Knew what?"

"You can't live without my sexiness, not even for a short grocery trip." Jace said smuggle, holding the door open for Clary.

"Oh yep, you got me there" Clary jokingly rolled her eyes as Jace slid his hand in hers and intertwined their fingers.

'He isn't completely wrong' Clary thought to herself as they headed towards the market.

Heyyyyyy GUysssssss!

I hope you enjoyed this part!

Just a few quick things, this story isn't going to really touch base with the story line in Lady Midnight, for a few main reasons.

1. Jules and Emma are just fricken too god damn cute together, I dont have the strength to make them go through the whole parabatai thing.

2. The ages are quite different. Clary and the gang are all the same age they had at the end of COHF (more or less close) but Emma and Jules are 15-16 instead of 12 because like I said, I love them together and 12 is a little too young in my opinion 😂

Anywayyyyyyy

I Love Youuu guysss!

(Sorry for any mistakes, feel free to correct me nicely, I'll make sure to fix it up)

💘💘💓💓💕💗💘❤️❤️💖💘💕💘💓💓💗💖💘💞💘💖
