My Brother The Crow

Chapter 3

It was obvious that Alec was a Lightworm, dark hair and blue eyes pointed all the way to that assumption, but nonetheless he led me through the crowd of people. When I actually saw him though, something tightened in my chest. Not like the cheesy cliché love thing, but I could literally feel something tighten in my chest.

When the female warlock - Alice Castell was her name - cursed me and my brother, she turned my brother into a crow, his curse would be broken when I had my love kiss me. But when she cursed me she put a necklace on me. It wasn't your ordinary necklace either, it was made of thorns that were tightened around my throat, which at times was very uncomfortable. But when I looked at the Lightworm - I can't be sure - but it felt like it loosened a bit.

Alec led me to Magnus until finally we found him. He was wearing a very foreign attire, and his hair was spiked up with gel and glitter. When he saw Alec his whole face lightened up quite a lot, but then his cat-like eyes looked behind him and saw me. "Agatha Crow, I didn't fancy seeing you here."

I cringed at the sound of my true last name. The Crow's had supposedly been assassinated by a rogue group of unknown demons more then two hundred years ago, as rumor has it. "Well you know, I didn't really plan it. Tessa invited me. Also, I don't go by Crow anymore, I go by Ravenwood."

"Mm. Your brother still a crow?"

"Magnus." I said sternly, he paid no mind though it seemed.

"So have you met my boyfriend Alec?" He wrapped his arms a round the boy.

"Not officially, glad to see that you found somebody else though. Although I never though that you would settle for a Lightworm."

"Actually it's Lightwood." Alec stated cutting in.

"I know, don't worry about it. It's an inside joke that one of our friends used to make."

"So you here for long? It's been a while since I saw you, when was the last time?"

"I think it was at Will's funeral. I don't know, I think I might stay at the New York Institute for a little."

The rest of the night was longer than I expected it to be. I talked to a few people; Jocelyn, and some vampires, a few werewolves. But for the most part I tended to stay near Tessa and Jem. Soon the lights dimmed and more people left. Jem stood up whispering something in Tessa's ear, the corners of her mouth turning into a smile. Standing up she said to me, "Well I think we're going to go, if you need anything at all - "

"I know," I stood up giving her and Jem a hug, "I'll find you if I need you."

They then left after saying their goodbyes to several others. The red: Clary, and the the fake blond: Jace, returned a little after midnight. They now stood with each other near the two Lightwoods. They were talking, and you could tell that they all had such a strong bond. I had been alone (Charlie was with me, but he was still just a crow.) for so long. I felt a yearning in my chest, to have a family like that again . . .

Jocelyn her new husband; Luke, had disappeared. I think that they went home. The vampires had left, along with the pack. So now it was just the four of them, and a lonely me. I was sitting away from them at a table. Charlie had flown off for a little while earlier. Being in the city it was harder for him to stretch his wings.

I heard a distant caw, and then the familiar flapping of wings. He flew in, right past - like literally - the four young shadowhunters. Jace ducked then looked over to me. Charlie landed on the table looking at me.

"What?"

He cocked his head to the side. "I don't know what you want. It's not exactly easy talking to you."

He cawed loudly in my face and I pulled back a little bit, "Well if you're gonna act like that then piss off."

He bit my finger then flew off before I could swat at him. The group looked over to me. Clary walked over to me. "Hi."

"Hello," I blew on my finger, shaking my hand, "ducking bird."

"Duck?" Asked Jace.

"I try my best not to curse. So, I know you too," I pointed to Isabelle and Alec, "You guys are the Lightworms."

I pointed to Jace, "You are definitely the Herondale, I mean - just to top it off - you questioned me when I said the word duck."

I turned back to Clary, "And you . . . Fray, I haven't heard that name before?"

"Gray and Fairchild."

"O, okay, makes much mores sense. My name's Agatha Ravenwood. Pleasure to, officially meet you all."
