Summon Magnus Bane (Malec)

Chapter 3

Izzy woke up by her phone ringing, it was her dad... It was so early though, around four am. "Hello...?"

Why was her father calling her? She started getting nervous. Her father doesn't know she is at Alec's, he would have never allowed her to stay there, he and Alec have cut off ties a long time ago. It must have been serious, she doesn't dare to bring it up, not at how Maryse had reacted last time.

"Hello princess, how are you? Is the apartment you told me about exactly like the pictures?" Robert asked calmly, as if having a normal conversation during meal time.

"It's quite early dad... But yes everything turned out well." Izzy was doubtful. Maryse would have let her do such only if she staid at Alec's, live on her own... Short of.

"What? Oh, it is. Why are you up so early? I hope you are not taking my generosity for granted, this is suppose to help you get used to the responsibility of looking after yourself! You will be in university next year young lady... Don't make me regret trusting you..."

Izzy felt her stomach turn, he will not miss the opportunity to tell her off despite everything.

"Dad, I promise you, I am doing well with the chores and school..."

It's four am, Izzy was woken up by the phone call.

It's been only three days into the school year.

"Ah right, tell your mother when she can no longer pay for you rent and bills to drop her ego and get over it already. An antique store won't be enough to take care of her, Max and you. Seriously this woman can't get over herself and her supremacy issues! It makes me wonder, just how did I even come to like that women... It must have been pity."

Izzy felt her hearing going numb, there he goes again. Rambling and hating on her mother. She cannot even hang up or interrupt him, disagreeing is off the table, he will start yelling and making himself the victim. It leads nowhere.

She almost had a heart attack when Alec walked down the hallway, picking his head in the room. "Is everything okay?"
He whispered, Izzy nodding.

Shortly her dad was done with his complaining and hanged up, not leaving Izzy ask him her own questions. Why was he up so early?

"Who was it?"
Alec asked, sensing something is off.

"Dad... He... I don't know what to say really. I am just thankful I am here and not there, his mugging would have been endless." Izzy sighed, laying back on her bed.

Surprisingly, Alec walked up to her, settling beside her."Everything will be okay... If things get tough you can always come here."

Izzy smiled softly, "I know."
Both siblings dazed off to sleep, waking up the next day very much delighted.

Izzy, as always walked through the halls of high school, ending up at her usual sit, her friends always there, waiting for her.
"Hello dears."

"Izzy, please tell Jace to quite being a doufous." Clary exclaimed.

"Why, what did you say or do?"
Izzy laughed.

"He was curious about a new trend... Like bloody mary or the other thing, with the doll that somehow plays with you hide and seek." Simon explained briefly.

Izzy was intrigued, it may be a good spooky idea to test to the sleepover.
"Tell me about it."

Izzy and Simon exchanged glances, both realising where this was going.

"So, the game is simple, just like you summon Bloody Mary, like that you summon the prince of hell, Magnus Bane." Jace spoke, Izzy listening eagerly.

"There is no way it works though... Right?" Simon asked nervously.
