camille "there's still one more thing i require of, um..."
she points at simon.
simon "simon."
camille "a writ of transmutation."
simon "what the hell is that?"
izzy "a document stating you asked her to turn you into a vampire."

camille "signed and sealed in your blood, of course."
simon "haven't you had enough of my blood?"
camille "never."
camille "and i definitely don't want the clave to falsely accuse me of killing mundanes."

clary "you want simon to pardon you?"
clary "no way."
clary "you killed simon."
clary "the least we could do is return the favor."
camille "and yet..."
camille "the second i go up in smoke, so does any hope of you finding your precious book."

simon "it's okay."
clary "so where do we get this document, huh?"
clary "i can't imagine you have many friends left."
camille "i know a guy."

camille "one hundred fifty years?"

magnus "one hundred and thirty-eight."
magnus "oddly, i haven't missed you."
camille "of course you have, my love."
clary "all right, you two can catch up later."
clary "right now, we need to find the book of the white."

camille "and you will, but not without payment."
camille "you of all people should understand that."
magnus "of course."
magnus "and what is it you require."
camille "a clean slate."
simon "she wants a writ of turning-me-into-a-vampire."

clary "and we need you to draft it."
magnus "hmm."
magnus "i thought i was done with you."
camille "we'll never be done with each other."
izzy "i'm gonna call for backup."

clary "simon, can i talk to you for a minute?"
rogue "leo what are you planning?"
me "that's a secret."
rogue "your two kids are doing fine."
me "thank you rogue."
he kissed the top of my head.
rogue "be carefull."
me "i will."

camille "you're still upset by my dalliance with that short- lived russian?"
magnus "upset?"
magnus "no."
magnus "i gave up feeling anything for you over a century ago."
camille "love is fleeting."
camille "even more so when you're immortal."

magnus "and yet true love cannot die."
camille "but people can."
magnus "people are more then just toys for your amusement."
camille "hundreds of years old and still so naive."
camille "you wouldn't know what to do with love if you found it."

camille "or do you think you already have?"
camille " 'angel blood."
camille turns magnus around and kiss him. then alec and izzy walks in.
magnus "well, this is awkward."
alec "where's the book?"
magnus "it's complicated."
alec "clearly."

camille "i have it."
magnus "and she's graciously offered it in exchange for her freedom."
izzy "and her freedom requires a lip-lock?"
alec "we don't negotiate with prisoners."
camille "prisoner?"

camille "i beg to disagree."
camille "you see, i'm your only chance at saving the world."
camille "you need me."
magnus started move his finger in circles by his head then pointed at camille.

camille "you certainly have a type, don't you, magnus?"
camille "he's cute."
camille "too bad it won't last."
me "does she have a mute button?"
she hiss at me.
izzy "say that again..."
izzy "you won't last."

camille "i'd say he's about 20 years from male pattern baldness."
alec "i don't have time for this."
alec "where's clary?"
he pointed behind him to a room. we all got into a van after they all talked. we went to camille place.

simon "i thought the underground parking was nice."
alec "wow."
alec "you've got a lot of books."
camille "i've got a lot of time on any hands."
?? "welcome home, mudame belcourt."

izzy "this place creeps me out ."
alec "yeah."
alec "let's check the perimeter."
magnus "good idea."
magnus "if i know camille, she'll have a trick or three up her sleeve."
i wen with alec and magnus out of bordom. i decided to split up from them and read a book.

i walk in seeing everyone crying.
me "what happened."
everybody ignored me. i followed alec and magnus after we got to the institute so i could hear the drama.
magnus "i know you don't want to hear it, so i'll just say it once."
magnus "whatever i felt for camille, it's ancient history."

magnus "almost literally."
alec "yeah, but what she said about you being immortal..."
alec "she's right."
alec "you watch the people you care about age and die."
magnus "alexander..."
magnus "i may be the high warlock of brooklyn, but..."
magnus "even i can't see the future."

we stood around magnus while he did the spell to wake up jocelyn and it did. i teloported away to rogue room and went to sleep next to him. he wraped his arms around me and kissed me.

rogue "good night leo."
me "good night."
me "sweet dreams."
rogue "they will be if you are in them."
we both fell asleep smiling.
