BILLIE BUSSINESS

A faint beeping woke me up. I was all healed I know that for sure, but my back was hurting even worse. I tired to sit up but that hurt even more and I yelped. I felt a hand sit me back down and when I looked up I saw Clary.

"Clary! Oh my god, you won't believe what happened back there! Oh my god!" I started but she shushed me and nodded her head. Why didn't she want to hear what I had to say about Valentine? Ad about her mother?!

"There's a new boss in charge and we have to watch what we say now. He want's Jace dead or alive, and we're trying to save him." She explained to me and I surveyed the room to make sure that there were so prying ears. 

I brought myself closer to her ear, "Valentine said that your mother left Jace to die in Idris. And that he shot him up with demon blood. And your mom shoot him is not making a better case for Jace to want to fight Valentine." I sat back and saw the horror that graced her face.

"If the boss- Aldertree, wants to talk to you, don't tell him anything." She was being really careful right now. And I don't think it's because she ad Jace are bother and sister. But that's not any of my bushiness. "I gotta go."

She left in an instant and I laid there.

What if I just left Jace to do the unthinkable. Yes, I was saving myself but what about him. I just forgot about him. Well I made a bad choice in the moment. But it looks like if Jace would have stayed- he would have been treated as a criminal. 

Wheres Magnus?

Sudden;y a gust of wind thew the sheet that was covering me away. I sat up and saw a portal, but it was one of Magnus's portals. I quickly jumped out of bed and ran though it. Yes, I said ran. That was stupid because Magnus has an apartment full of things I could bump into if I took the wrong step.

And I stubbed my toe on his coffee table as I did so. "Holy fu-" I held my foot and winced in pain. 

"Billie, I have missed you!" Mags voice came from my left and I felt him embrace me in a hug. I put my foot down and hugged him back. It has been a long time since I've seen my warlock friend, I'm just not sure how long. I don't want to find out either.

"Magnus, so much happened that I need to tell you about! I- There's the whole Valentine thing! and I got a memory!" And that's what sent be back into me sad spiral. I was able to forget for a while about what I did. Who I killed.

"I heard you in the library, that you killed someone. Was that your memory?" He sat me down and asked me. I took a breath and remembered what Isaac said to me. Tell Magnus and only him. I could trust him. 

"I had one memory, and it was so horrible Magnus. I told you before that what if I did something bad enough that someone had to wipe my memories! And I saw it. I saw a cold dead body, and it's blood was on my hands. I killed someone, and someone wiped me clean." I ranted, and feel short of breath. I was falling back into that memory again, the ringing and the bell.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

"Billie, I can call Isaac. And he can go further if you want to find out more." He offered to me and I shook my head furiously. I didn't want to know more about what kind of bad person I was. Or who I killed. "I know that you aren't a bad person, I know that you wouldn't have done that if it weren't for something that led you to do that. I trust you, Billie."

I looked up at him, and the brown eyes that he usuals wears were gone. Replaced by the eyes of a cat, like a real cat. He looked so amazing! Why would he ever hide that? It was so beautiful.
