If 8D were Shadowhunters....

Chapter 7- A party at Magnus'

The whole gang except for Jace, Alec, Layla and Hermione, excitedly sauntered into the Magnus's loft, (the other four shuffled in miserably).They were greeted by an open armed Magnus who said,

"Hello, and welcome my lovely new friends," showering the gang in glitter; Jace and Alec groaned however, in contrast, Maddie and Mary squealed, "Glitter! I love glitter!"

"Feel free to grace the dance floor with the rest of the downworlders or make yourself on the seats over there," he said gesturing to two velvet teal 4-seater sofas and a coffee table,

"Food and cake is that way and the bar is that way. make yourself at home"

Half of the gang immediately ran to the cake and Nutella and the other half started crazily head banging in the middle of the dancefloor then spinning around, feeling pretty spaced out; completely oblivious to the strange looks the vampires were giving them.

Jace shook his head and stared at them in complete disbelief of their total stupidity.

The four shadowhunters who didn't want to be there (e.g. Hermione, layla, Jace and Alec) shuffled over to the bar and ordered some drinks.

The four stared into space for a while and then layla piped up

"This is a total and complete waste of time," sighing

"Totally agree "muttered Hermione.

Alec smiled an adorable smile and her heart melted.

(20 minutes later)

Hermione looked behind her to see Safa drunk and Amna drunk and hi whilst poor sally was trying to herd them both to the two sofas and sit them down.

"Look," said Hermione, exasperated, poking layla in the back. Layla turned around and once she had taken in the sight before her eyes, she burst out laughing,

"what are we going to do with them?"she said

Just as they both crashed into a vampire who frowned and came over to them,

"Do you know those people? "Asked the hot honey skinned vampire who the girls soon fund out to be Raphael, the leader of the New York vampire clan.

Alec and Jace immediately spun around on alert,

"What do want Raphael?" questioned Jace, rather rudely.

"Quiero Nada, I don't want anything. I'm just really bored and I don't have a dance partner," he said flashing a glance at layla who noticed and squirmed.

As layla danced with the sexy vampire, Alec began to get visibly uncomfortable. Hermione smirked at layla (who was now slightly drunk. No one could leave one of Magnus's parties not drunk.)

Suddenly as Raphael was getting a little (well, quite a lot) too close to layla, Amara intervened and asked the vamp to dance; her friend Caitlin, who was extremely drunk, was dancing with at least seven men with a chicken drumstick in one hand.

Anyway, Amara intervened just at the right moment, in Alec's personal point of view, and Hermione heard a sigh of relief from him.

His relief was short lived though as Magnus Bane appeared in a poof of glitter and dragged Alec to the dance floor. Layla gave him a killing death stare. Hermione laughed until someone grabbed her from behind and automatically she kicked them hard where the sun don't shine.

"By the angel! "It turned out, it was Jace and a hysterical Clary behind him,

"That's what you get for grabbing me!" Hermione laughed

"Doesn't mean you have to kick me!" but Hermione did not reply. She was staring at Alec, who was full on snogging layla and she him back.

"What the........." asked Jace "oh" his mouth dropped open, "by the angel....."

(25 mins later)

Alec and Hermione were gathering up the rest of the gang whilst layla Amara and Caitlin were standing by the exit. Layla was reminiscing her kiss when she suddenly snapped back it reality and started scolding Amara, big sister style, who was all dreamy eyed over Raphael.

"AMARA GREYMARK! Stay away from Raphael! Do you hear me!"

"Why?" questioned Amara innocently?

"BECAUSE he's a creep, a pervert, and A VERY BAD MAN; oh and Caitlin, we'll talk when you're sober! "She shouted

"Amara! We'll talk later, BUT DONT GO ANYWHERE NEAR Raphael!"

"NO! I like him and he's hot!"

"Amara he may be hot, said layla sternly. "But we'll talk later" she said, giving Amara the 'shut up and listen to me or else,' look' just as Alec and Hermione came over with the rest of the pretty drunk gang. Layla gave the group a head count... and then another one but she ended up with 14 each time not 15......

Maddie, Naomi, Mary, Safa, Amna, Alisha, Sally, Frankie, Hermione, Amara, Caitlin, Alia ....................... Then she froze.

"WHERE'S ZAHRA!!" yelled layla, tears springing into her eyes

"The last time I saw her, she was with this guy called Toto.....no Timothy ...............THOMAS that's it. Oh and she was a green rat," slurred Caitlin, collapsing into Jace's arms

"WHAT!" screamed layla "CLARY, HERMIONE, IZZY, go find that Thomas guy and Zahra!" she ordered

(20 minutes later)

"We've looked everywhere Magnus! We can't find her anywhere!" said Hermione trying to comfort Layla who choked back tears. The rest of the gang, although drunk and didn't understand everything that was going on, could sense the tension in the air.

"I'm so sorry "said Thomas, "I tried to stop her from drinking her blue drink but these guys pinned me up and when I went back to find her, she was gone!"

Suddenly Alec smacked his forehead,

"Oh no, no, no, no, no! I know where your weird friend is. She's at the hotel Dumort!"

"Of course......." Said Jace

"it's the vampires that took her, just for fun, just like they did with Simon," said clary

Layla wiped her eyes and took out her seraph blade,

"Izzy, clary, Jace, take the others home, Alec and Hermione...... well, I think we have ourselves a trip to the Hotel Dumort."
