Jace's pov

-How did it happen?
-Well, he wasn't looking, for starters. One of the Circle's member took advantage of his distraction to... To try to kill him.
-What's his name?
-Rick. Rick Carshill. He was killed a few moments later in the battle.
Jace went white with rage. If Alec died... It was too hard, impossible for him to even think about it.
But, while he was talking to Jia, he kept seeing images of Alec, during the battle, trying to reach him, calling him, earlier that day. But Jace was busy talking to Jonathan. This is my fault, though Jace.
It was still weird for him to think of his brother-in-law as Jonathan. It was a Shadowhunter name... And for a long time, Jonathan was Sebastian. Sebastian wasn't a Shadowhunter to him. He would never be. He killed Max, Jordan, all the Praetor Lupus. How could Jace be sure that during a random battle, Sebastian would not take over and turn against all of them? The answer was quite simple. He couldn't.
Jia brought him back to reality.
-Jace?
-Yes?
-I'm really sorry, about Alec. But don't worry, he should be conscious in a couple of days. He isn't going to die.
-I... It's my fault. I was distracted, and I heard him calling for me... I should have...
-No. Don't feel sorry. You were way to shocked to do anything. If it were me, I would probably have fallen unconscious.
Jia's mouth curled up in the corners in a well meaning smile. Just like a mother would smile to reassure her child. Jace tried to continue;
-But...
-No. Stop, snapped Jia. I am going to call Clary. And Izzy. They can calm you down. Plus, it is Izzy's brother.
-She doesn't know yet?
-She doesn't. And I'm going to keep it that way until she gets here. I don't want her to do anything stupid, like go on a hunt to kill every member of the Circle herself and end up getting killed. Alec was still conscious when we found him. He ask for you first. Then.. He passed out.
Jace nodded, not sure what to say.

Stephen's pov

Stephen turned around fast enough to see Max duck behind the bed. He was a few years younger than him, but Stephen still had fun with him.
-I saw you!
Max stood up with a smile.
-Hi. I came to tell you that my parents and your mom went to Idris. Clary made a portal.
-Oh. Ok. So we are alone. Did Amy go with them?
-No. Tyler neither. (Tyler is Bat and Maia's son.)
-And did Tyler's parents stay?
-No. Magnus went too.
-Why?
-I don't know. But I think it has something to do with your father and uncle Alec.
Stephen nodded. His curly blond hair wasn't too long, but still fell on his face and eyes. His green eyes, like his mother's. Everyone kept telling him he's cute, and that he looks a lot like his father. But he didn't know how beautiful he was. Yes, he was five, but quite tall for his age. He had long pianist hands, and he was waiting impatiently to have the clairvoyant rune on his left one.
-So... Want to play?
Stephen nodded again. But before either of them could speak again, the Institute doorbell rang. It was a big sound, but since they had lived here all their lives, they were okay with it.
-Come on. We are going to see who it is.
As they went, they saw Amy. The boys asked her to come with them, and she accepted.
Once they arrived, Max opened the door. A lot of men where there. They all had white gears on.
Too surprise of seeing white gears on Shadowhunters, Max couldn't talk. So, it was Amy who asked;
-Uh... Who are you?
They didn't have an answer. That didn't surprised her. And neither of boys. Because, of all facts, they wore white gears. They're parents always told them to never talk to strangers.
So Stephen listened and tried to close the door. But the men went in the Institute, knocking them out as they went.

Tyler's pov

Tyler heard weird sounds. His first instinct was to look for his friends, but he didn't find them. So he went to the phone to call Catarina, a powerful warlock. I will ask her to deliver a message to my parents, he thought. But then, when he tried to do that, Catarina didn't answer the phone. So he tried to call the Clave. But they are in Idris for a reunion. And phones don't work in Idris.
He finally called Tessa and Jem. They were close to him and the people in the Institute.
Tessa answered:
-Yes?
-Hi Tessa. It's me, Tyler. I heard noise in the Institute and I couldn't find the others. So when I called Catarina Loss, she...
-Wait, slow down. Are you saying that Amy, Stephen and Maxwell disappeared? Are you sure?
-Yes! I couldn't find them anywhere.
-Ok. I'm going to give a message to the Clave. I will pass you Jem.
-Ok.
Tyler heard noise and then, Jem's voice.
-Hi Tyler. So, you are alone at the Institute?
-I wasn't. The others disappeared. Can you come? I... I'm scared.
-Yeah, sure. Let me go tell Tessa. I'm still going to be on the phone, so you can talk to me whenever you want until I'm here. Hold on, Tyler.
Tyler nodded, but he knew there was something wrong. His friends would never let him by himself.

Simon's pov

He was waiting in Izzy's room. It was in the Inquisitor's house. A big blue house.
Izzy went downstairs to get a glass of water.
Lately, Simon noticed that she stopped taking alcohol. And that her belly was a little bigger.
But then, he thought: It's impossible. She would have told me.
A little voice in the back of his head kept telling him;
Maybe she doesn't even know. Maybe it's all just a coincidence.
-Simon?
Deep in his thoughts, he didn't hear Izzy calling him.
-Simon!
He looked at her. And saw her belly again.
-I have some news. I know for what, three days, now? Well, here's the news. I'm pregnant.
Silence.
-Simon?
-I kinda knew. Your belly. The alcohol. - And don't think I'm not happy - it's just... I hoped you would have told me sooner.
-I am sorry. I should have, I was just panicked. But, you don't seem happy.
-But I am! I am.
He looked grave suddenly.
-Do you know if it is...
-A boy or a girl? No, not yet. I would like it if it could be a surprise.
-Yes, of course. But then, we have to find name for both sexes.
-Yes. How about Amelia, if it is a girl?
-Ok. And her middle name?
-Maryse. If you want to.
Simon smiled and nodded.
-And if it is a boy, can we call him Charles? It was my father's name. And he died when I was young.
-Charles Jordan.
Izzy hugged Simon. A gold chain was attached to his neck. There was a wolf mark on it. The Praetorian mark.
-He would be happy.
She didn't said his name, but Simon knew exactly who she was talking about.
