My Love

Downworld Ball (pt. 1?)

Sorry I haven't updated in two days. I'm fighting the common cold, and it's kicking my ass. But the show must go on so I present you another chapter.

Isabelle POV

Magnus' friends were here. At least the female was. The other two were no where in sight. She was tall and slender, honey tan skin, and long black hair. She was wearing a tight blue dress and gorgeous black stilettos. The heel of the shoe was bulky but I liked them.

"Someone is coming" Nightshade said. We were sitting on a ledge, above an alley.

"Who?" I asked.

"Not sure" she replied. Nightshade reached down and grabbed the heel of one of her shoes. The heel slid out of place and she had a gun in her hand. She repeated the action to her second shoe. She was holding the guns across her lap calmly.

"You have to let me use those" I told her.

"You like?" She asked with a smirk.

"Totally" I responded. She laughed and nodded.

"I have an entire collection of weaponized things. I could yank the handle of my purse and it detatches and the end of it is a knife. I have a bunch of heels and some other things" she told me.

"Like?" I asked, excited.

"I have this corset and along my spine is a built in sheath. It's large enough to hold a double broadsword and it's adjustable. Hairpins sharp enough to cut skin" she replied.

"Do you have any mini purses?" I asked.

"Yeah. I have this black one that has a chain strap and when you pull the chain from the purse there is a spiked ball at the end. Which reminds me of this grenade I have that is shaped like a lip balm. It shoots Greek fire all over the place when it explodes"

"Damn. I honestly need all of that" I replied.

Nightshade then jumped up and turned around. I looked up and the barrel of her gun was against Simon's head.

"Kill or release?" Nightshade asked me.

"Release. Release is good" Simon replied with wide eyes.

"You can release him" I responded. " What's up?"

"You see Alec looks like he is about to kill someone and really enjoy it. Like really enjoy it. And he doesn't like me so I'm trying to distance myself from him" Simon explained.

"Oh" I replied. Alec had been extremely moody since Magnus left. And yesterday he was in a worse mood than usual and Clary and Simon almost got hurt because they were in his line of fire. Which was literally everywhere he could see.

(Time skip - back at the Institute. About 3:00 pm. Brought to by, Jace having to make his own pie cuz Alec isn't his bitch)

Jace POV

We were back at the Institute. The two male warlocks, Alpha and Romeo, said they had news. We were all at the planning table, well, planning.

"There is going to be a Downworld party on Long Island Sound. Deep in the forest, there is a large building. The Demon Court has already confirmed they will be there and so will we. " Alpha said.

"It's tomorrow. The theme is more classic so we'll have to dress accordingly" Romeo continued.

"What about our runes?" I asked.

"Everyone but Alec should be fine on that matter. There will be long sleeved jackets and such for you. The girls have very covering outfits for the most part. They will probably need some foundation to cover up some. But Alec is the problem since he has one on his neck" Nightshade replied.
