Remember Me - The Mortal Instruments - Clace Fanfiction

Chapter 15: The Rouge Shadowhunter

"Magnus," Alec's the one to bang on Magnus's apartment, "we need your help with something."

He's answering this time because he's his boyfriend and we're all hoping that he'll answer for him. He usually answers for us, but he answers the door for Alec 99% of the time.

"I'm coming, I just got done with a project I'm working on," Magnus calls from the other side of the door.

What project? Didn't he say that he was going to help me? He seemed very concerned and worried about whoever it was that kidnapped me.

He opens the door and looks at our band of four. When his eyes land on me he smiles, "ah, there's my project now."

Oh, well that kind of solves my question... but project?! I'm not some kind of experiment that's being worked on!

"What do you mean?" Izzy asks the question before any of the others could.

"I think you all should come in here, because I have some new information on Clary's situation that might pique all of your interests," Magnus steps aside and invites us into his apartment.

We all file into the apartment and Magnus shuts the door behind us. Chairman Meow is sleeping over by the window sill, bathing in the sunlight so I go over and pet him. He automatically starts purring under my touch.

"Clary, please stop petting my cat. This is something that you especially need to hear ," Magnus interrupts my pet session with Chairman Meow, impatiently tapping his fingers against a nearby table.

The four of us clutter around different pieces of furniture; Magnus takes a seat in one of the chairs, Izzy and Alec claim the couch, and I claim another one of his chairs. Jace stands behind me, putting his hands on my shoulders as he leans against the chair.

"Clary came to me earlier today, right after she was released from her kidnapper. I was the first person she thought to go to, and it seems it's the same for you other three as well. And I was able to gather some information within the few hours since Clary first came," Magnus starts to explain.

So he was able to get some information for me. But what exactly will we be able to do with said information?

Magnus crosses one leg over the other and claps his hands together; it seems he's got quite the information.

"I've checked with all of the informants I have inside New York and its surrounding cities. Downworlders and Shadowhunters alike, haven't gone to demons... yet. But anyway the man that kidnapped you, his name is Christopher Penweather and he is a Shadowhunter. Well, WAS a Shadowhunter. Apparently he went rouge a few months ago, but that's not the point. The point is is that he's abducting mundanes off the streets and using them in his experiments. Experiments to turn mundanes into demons," Magnus explains.

A chill runs down my spine and my whole body freezes. None of us move, none of us dare to. The events of what happened about a year ago are still all too real. Sebastian haunted my dreams for some time after we got back from the demon realm... and it's still hard for me to this day to believe that Valentine was actually my father. He's the reason why Jace and I have more angel blood in us than any of the other Shadowhunters do.

"Is-is there more?" I whisper, barely able to break the deafening silence in the room.

"Yes, I'm afraid so," is what Magnus starts with, "his first attempts at changing humans into demons were... messy. Similar to both... Lilith's and Valentine's experiments. But he's gotten better and he was able to finally make the perfect one. But Clary... that demon that Christopher sent you to find was the demon that took your memories."
