I didn't get the answers from Magnus the night we summoned that memory demon I was far too tired and I wasn't prepared to know the truth.

On the next morning I was looking for Alec while Izzy was looking for Clary. Jace had told us that Alec had taken Clary's gift from Jocelyn, who is also a portal sherd, and that Valentine used to get to Clary. Izzy had come with a stupid plan, she would comfort Clary while I tried to persuade Alec to give Clary back her necklace. I had asked her why weren't we doing the opposite, I mean I was Clary's best friend and she was Alec's sister but she ignored me and left.

I jumped on Alec's back when I saw him and he caught me.

"Found you" I whisper in his ear.

"Emilia, get off." He says walking while everyone glanced at us.

"I'm flattered that you recognised me by my voice , but no thank you. Beside you didn't even say the magic word."

"Why would I tell you a magic word, I'm no warlock."

I sigh hopelessly." You have a lot to learn Shadowhunter. In the mundane world, the magic word is please. Repeat after me, Emilia could you get down of my back please. It's really easy"

"Ugh... Emilia could you get down of my back please."

"Weird you didn't put any resistance. People are watching and your not throwing me off your back, that's not your type. Anyway, no I won't get down from your back till you give Clary back her necklace."

"I can't do that it's far too dangerous."

"Yes, you can. We could go somewhere more hidden and protected, I don't know Idriss maybe." He stopped. Idriss was the Shadowhunter homeland and from the drawings and pictures I saw, it was beautiful.

"How do you even know about Idriss?"

"You know that there is a big library in this Institute, well I went there to pass the time and I've been studying Shadowhunter history and culture so I can understand you guys."

"You should tell Clary to do that since she's the real Shadowhunter."

I scoff"Because I'm not a Shadowhunter like you I shouldn't learn those things ."

"That's not what I meant, I just wished that Clary was more like you, not creating problems everywhere she goes." I could imagine him rolling his eyes.

I was happy at the compliment but Clary was still my best friend. I jumped of his back and went to stand in front of him. He stopped and looked at me.

"I'm grateful for you keeping me here and the Clave helping me with all of this but you have to stop treating Clary like she's the villain. She just lost her mom to a monster who's her father just try to get in her shoes." I tell him calmly.

I could feel him staring at me so I looked around. I saw Clary, Isabelle and Jace in the glass training room talking to an older woman.

"Hey Alec, there a woman talking to the others."

He looked in the direction I pointed and widened his eyes. Alec started walking towards that direction and I followed in step with him curious as who she was.

"Mother, welcome back, we didn't expect you." Alec said when we entered the room.

"You should be prepared, whether you expect me or not."

I slightly widened my eyes and looked at the woman who was hugging her son. Now that I was near I could see the resemblance of the Lightwood family I knew.

"I am. We are." Alec looked around.

She stepped back and looked at me with an eyebrow raised.

"I'm Emilia Gemstone, it's an honour to meet you." I wanted to give her a good impression as she was the siblings mother but I don't give her my hand and neither does she. She just nods.
