Chapter 8

My mom used to paint..

- "I'm starting to remember now. Where she brought me to put the block on my memory. Magnus Bane. I saw a painting my mom made.. with the mortal cup."

- "Oh shit. Okay, let's go, but first, Isabelle will give you something to wear." Jace replies.

I walk over to Isabelle's room to change.

Ugh.

- "Do you have anything else? This dress is skin tight. I feel like a hooker." I complain.

- "You look great. Stop complaining. Come here." She tells me.

We stand in front of a mirror while she curls my hair.

- "See, you look so pretty." She smiles, as I put on my leather jacket.

- "Let's go, the boys are waiting." She adds

We walk out into the hall to find Alec already standing there. He rolls his eyes as soon as he sees me.

- "Doesn't she look great Alec." His sister says with a smile.

- "She looks like her phone number belongs on a bathroom wall." He snarls.

Of course. He's such an ass.

Suddenly, Jace comes down the hall, still looking incredibly hot.

- "I think you look great." He remarks.

I smile.

We all leave, and reach the house of Magnus Bane. The door has a gold, metal circle with a lion on it. we knock. The lion head opens. That's when Jace uses he stele to distract the guard. He opens the door, and we all slip past the guard.

There's a party going on? Hmm, oh well. It could make this mission easier. We have a lesser chance at being caught.

I wander around the room, through crowds of people, examining the paintings on his wall. There are so many. Just not the one I'm looking for. I continue to wander around the room. At this point, the others are sitting down having food.

Where is that damn painting? I turn to face the others and that's when I spot it. Fuck. There are so many vampires around it. How am I even supposed to.. Shit.

I walk over to the others.

- "I found it. Little problem though." I point to the painting, with the group of vampires."

- "Oh for fuck's sake." Isabelle sighs.

- "How are we gonna get over there?"

- "With our feet." Alec rolls his eyes.

- "Smartass." Isabelle rolls her eyes in return. "She meant how we are getting the cup."

Jace gives Alec a dirty look. Isabelle notices, but she brushes it off.

I have an idea.

- "Does anyone have a sheet of paper?" I ask.

- "No, why?" Jace returns a question.

- "I have a napkin.. If that helps..?" Isabelle adds.

- "Yeah sure. I think we can work with that." I nod.

She hands me the napkin.

- "Now we just need some sort of distraction." I add.

We stand there for a moment, coming up with an idea.

- "What if Isabelle and Alec go over and flirt with them as a distraction. Long enough for y/n to get the cup." Jace suggests.

- "Yeah sure." Isabelle says.

- "Alright, it's settled. Let's get over there." I give them a head tilt.

We all head over the the painting. Me and Jace walking to the side, while the siblings go over to the vampires. They start flirting, shockingly it captivated their attention. Me and Jace slip behind them. I pull out the napkin, and reach my hand into the painting, pulling the cup out of it. IT WORKED!

Suddenly a vampire turned his head and saw the cup. He lunged forward at me. Fuck! I dodge him and put the cup into the napkin, then storing it into my jacket. Jace swings at the vampire. People start to notice, as a whole fight breaks out.

- "She's got the cup! The mortal cup!" The vampire yells.

All eyes are on us. The 4 of us are all now standing against the wall. A fight is about to happen

- "There's too many of them." Isabelle says with worry.

- "Have a little faith." Jace jokes.

That's when vampires start coming at us. We pull out our swords and start swinging. Once we clear a good amount.

- "Let's go! Quick!" Alec shouts.

We all run to the door and make our way outside. I'm the last one, as everyone is ahead of me. I trip and a vampire grabs my ankle. I start kicking around my foot.

- "Help!" I shout.

Jace turns around in worry and slashes the vampire off of me and helps me up. We quickly run outside into the street. The sun! Vampires start running out, unknowingly, and burn in the sun.

Oh. My. God. I can't believe we did it. I hug Jace and rest my head on his chest. He hugs me back for a moment, before I let go.

- "Is everyone okay?" I ask, concerned.

- "Yes." They all answer.

Phew.

- "Did you get the cup?" Alec asks with a furrowed brow.

I pull out the napkin and show him.

He nods.

We all head back to the institute.
