(Title translation: The firebird that rises from its ashes)Before starting this chapter, I have a few questions, please answer to help me continue the story! :1) What relationship do you want me to devote an entire chapter to? (ex: Izzy and Magnus)2) Is there a Shadowhunters storyline that you would like me to quote or flashback to?3) Give me ideas, sentences, characters that I could add to the story!Now the story continues!XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxJordan's POV:I managed to get a permanent position in New York.The Lupus praetors didn't really have a HQ here, so I made a request that they accepted.They also appointed me director of the new HQ with the key, a large apartment and a salary of over $ 3,000 per month!My apartment is above the premises, and 20 minutes from the Jade Wolf so it's perfect for Maia and me.They had a portal installed in the operations room and the furniture was already in place.I just have to go to Germany for an internship with Evan Eindare, one of the leaders of Praetors Lupus.My apartment is big enough to accommodate half a dozen people, so I was planning on asking Maia to come live with me.Just the two of them, in a beautiful and very luxurious loft.I hope she will like it.~Izzy's POV:A drop of sweat slid down my neck before continuing its way down my back.Come on Isabelle! You can do it ! Hold out. I encourage myself.My hand is shaking uncontrollably.No, damn hand! If she could stop for 30 seconds of shaking ...Clary is coming soon, it can't happen to me. I can't miss his arrival, because of such a stupid thing.I would feel so bad and disgusted if everything wasn't perfect.~~Simon's POV:We are in very bad shape. Izzy does anything.Why doesn't she just stop? She could just give up and let us take care of everything.We can take care of that very well.If she continues, she will kill us all.I want to yell at her to get out of there and let us do it but I know she'll be hurt and be mad at me and probably kill him on top of that.Anyway, knowing that she is so stubborn, she won't want to give up ... Never.Why are all the girls I know so stubborn !?All I know is we need help now to stop the monster!And let the cavalry arrive before Claire walks through the door.I would hate myself if my best friend had to face something so horrible and macabre and put her life and her baby's life in danger because of it.~~Magnus POS:Alec is too close to danger for my taste!If she sees him, she will oblige him, and my fiancé will not come out alive!I like the word fiancé, I think I prefer that to husband, maybe we shouldn't get married and stay engaged? Because 'husband' makes me feel old! Magnus image you with wrinkles! My God ! My heart will not stand it! And Alec, would I still love him even with an overripe plum face? Yes of course ! What a fool am I! I think.I put myself a mental slap.Magnus focus! If she catches it, there will be no more fiancé, no more marriage, no more husband, nada ...Find a spell before she finishes!~~Alec POS:As I approach the kitchen, I see Magnus and Simon circling suspiciously.There really is a weird smell in this hallway ...Hold on ! Don't tell me that ...I look through the skylight, Izzy is beautiful and well cooking.She's doing a sort of ... Sugar mountain maybe?She turns to me, I try to hide but she sees me first.-Alec! Can you come and see my cake? she asks.I glance at Simon and Magnus for help but they bow their heads.What cowards! A little revenge is in order!-Yes, Simon and Magnus are coming too!They glare at me.-I am asking for a divorce! cried Magnus.-If my crazy ex-future sister-in-law doesn't kill me with this thing, he whispered, shivering.We walked slowly into the kitchen.Izzy watches his 'cake' proudly.-What do you say about it ? He is magnificent, isn't he? she asks with pride.-This ... began Magnus.-The decoration is a bit messed up but it's the love inside that counts! Not true ? she cut him off.-If there was only love in it, it would be a great cake! Simon comments in a low voice.-What did you say ? Izzy scowled, frowning.-Hmm ... that looks delicious!- Talent has never killed anyone! she answers with a laugh.Eventually, his talent will kill us all.But I have a plan.-Otherwise what is it! I have askedandé pointing to a red deformed shape at the top of the cake.Izzy rolls his eyes.-By the Angel, Alec! You have to buy yourself glasses! It represents the: Et ignis non resurget ex favilla avem. Because Clary is a real firebird! she explained to me with disdain, shaking her head as if it was obvious.I nod and walk over to examine the cake.- Be careful, Isabelle ordered me.-Don't worry little sister, I'm managing.Then I turn to join Magnus but in passing I discreetly drop Izzy's cake.Oupps! What a pity.-Alec !!!!! I'm going to kill you !!!! she yelled.I pretend to look sorry and I apologize.I am relieved, mission succeeded! We won't have to eat his horrible cake.But my rejoicing is short-lived.-I would kill you right after decorating my relief cake!She did not dare! She walked over to the oven with a protective glove.But Simon comes to our rescue.-Let me go get it for you! I wouldn't want you to ruin your new manicure ... he suggested, pointing to Iz's lacquered nails.He retrieves the cake before she's had time to answer.But he pretends to slip (or not, knowing Simon) and drops the cake right next to the first one.Izzy has a bad day head and takes a look at us before calling us all the names.She storms out of the kitchen.Magnus followed her and paused for a second to wink at us, while Simon and I sighed in relief.~Maia's POS:On our way to the institute for Clary's homecoming party.Jordan told me about his new project.-I could finally stay in New York and we can spend a lot more time together!-I know ! That's great ! But where are you going to live? I asked.-Just am offered a great apartment above the HQ. But it's a little too big for one person and I was wondering if you would be okay with coming to live with me? he asked me.I was speechless.-Yes. Of course.I accepted and jumped into his arms.-I love you Maia Roberts! he whispered in my ear.-Me too !-And I hope that one day I can tell you I love you Maia Kyle! he joked.-It can wait ! I laughed.
