look who's alive

as soon as the group was back at the institute Alec stormed to his room, Rowan was going to go after him but stopped herself and went to her room not bothering. the younger Wayland stayed in her room for most the day, not wanting to come out. she wasn't in the mood to talk so instead she just laid on her bed, looking at an old picture of herself, Jace, Alec, and Izzy. she smiled until she remembered what had just happened.

Rowan was brought out of her thoughts when there was a knock on her door thinking it was Jace she yelled. "Leave me alone Jace!"

"row, come on its Alec!" Alec shouted though the door.

"im not coming out!" Rowan yelled back.

"fine then let me in" alec stated.

Rowan stood up from her bed and opened the door slowly seeing alec stand there with a smile, she slowly turn back to her bed and lad down again, Alec followed her and sat beside her gabbing the photo of the group.

"wow this seems like along time ago" alec stated looking down at the photo.

"you mean when life was easy" rowan looked over to the tall boy.

"ya i guess-" Alec was cut off by Rowan grabbing his arm making him lay down beside her.

"you were right" Rowan stated looking at the older Lightwood.

"i was what" Alec asking looking over to the girl with a smirk.

"don't make me say it again"

"i mean I'd like to know what i was right about" alec asked.

"this whole clary thing" Rowan stated, Alec just looked at the small girl, with the same smirk.

"so... how are Jace and Clary?" Rowan asked after a little while.

"don't know and don't care, to be honest" Alec shrugged. "Izzy's worried about you though"

"tell her im fine, just need awhile to myself" Rowan said and Alec nodded in understanding. "everything's just insane at the moment" she added.

"got that right"

"Rowan! get up now!" a voice stated stopping the two from talking more as Izzy stormed into the room, when she saw the two she smirked.

"cute" was all she said, making Rowan roll her eyes.

"what do you want" Rowan asked while she sat up.

"jace wants you and you" Izzy stated pointing at the two.

Rowan sighed in frustration as she got up, alec doing the same. she gabbed her hoodie that was on her chair and quickly put it on as the two lightwoods walked out of her room.

Rowan soon walked out of her room and down the hallways, into the heart of the institute.

she walked down the small flight of stairs to she Alec and Jace sitting in chairs in front of the table, Clary sitting on the table, izzy sitting on the other side of the table and Hodge standing up with a tablet in his hands, facing the screen. when Jace notices his sister he gave her a small smile to which she did not return before he spoke up. "look who's alive" he said in a joking voice but this just made Rowan glare at him.

"ha, ha your so funny" Rowan said sarcastically, as she went to stand behind the two boys.

"back to what i was saying, his tasted are both exquisite and quite excessive" Hodge stated as a picture of Magnus bane appeared on the screen, making Rowan suddenly interested in what they were doing now.

"looks like the downworlder's David Guetta" clary spoke up, looking at the screen.

" Guetta's already a downworlder. Vampire, ever see him in day light" Izzy added while smiling.

"can you two focus?" Alec asked in his serious mood, clearly irritated. "this in not a joke"

"someone need to get slayed" Izzy smirked.

"Alec's right, Magnus is one of the most powerful warlocks I've ever known. he has a deep mistrust for shadowhunters." Hodge informed.

"then why did he help my mom remove my memories? isn't she a shadowhunter?" Clary asked.

"yes, one of the best, but help might not be the most accurate word. now did Magnus provide a service for Jocelyn? perhaps. but more then likely your mother paid Magnus handsomely for his magic" Hodge replied.

"warlocks usually require a payment before they help anyone with anything" Jace added.

"word form the clave is that most of the warlocks have gone into hiding since Valentine began hunting them" Alec spoke up.

"Valentine must be searching for the warlocks who aided Jocelyn-" Hodge begun to say but was cut off by his circle rune burning him and him winced in pain.

"Hodge, you alright?" Rowan asked him, genuinely concerned, Hodge just nodded slightly in return, standing up straight again.

"so how do we fined Magnus?" clary asked.

"we don't, Magnus finds us" Jace said. "we set up a meeting, somewhere protected, lure him out of hiding"

"and i know exactly where we do it " Izzy smirks as she garbs the tablet from Hodge and a poster for a party shows up on the screen.

"a downworld rave, nice Izzy" Jace complimented.

"where'd you get that?" Alec asked.

Rowan looked at Alec then to Izzy, but she saw her brother trying to silently get her attention, as he mouthed 'we need to talk' she just rolled her eyes and looked away zoning out of what the rest of the group was talking about.

"Row you coming" Izzy asked and Rowan attention snapped back to the group who were all looking at her.

"Yeah" Rowan replied as Izzy garbed her arm walking her towards the training room.

"you know im starting to get the feeling that practically everything is kept in this room" Rowan stated which caused Izzy to laugh. Hodge bent down and crouched on the floor, he drew a rune with his stele on the tile and it lifted the tile off the floor. Hodge stood up holding a red necklace in his hand.

"is it real?" Izzy asked staring at it like she was in love and Hodge started to say what it was and what it was made of.

"this necklace has special meaning to Magnus Bane it was a gift from him to his then lover, Camille." Hodge informed.

"Camille and Magnus were lovers?" Clary asked.

"that's what he just said" Rowan said sarcastically as Clary gave the girl a playful glare.

"Warlock gets around" jace smirked, making Rowan roll her eyes again.

"Magnus bought it in 1857" Hodge said and Rowan once again stopped playing attention, it was all gibberish to her anyway.

once Jace started to walk away, Rowan perked up. "we have to get Magnus before Valentine does" he announced and walked away, Clary and Izzy following after him.

not again.
