on?”

idea though, thanks, Mum.”

“Mom.
I have something to tell you. I’m undead. Now, I know you may have some

the idea of me being undead. But I’m here to tell you that undead are just like
you and me … well, okay. Possibly more like me than you.”

“Out
of the corner of her eye she thought she saw Jace shoot her a look of white
rage - but when she glanced at him, he looked as he always did: easy,
confident, slightly bored.
"In
future, Clarissa," he said, "it might be wise to mention that you
already have a man in your bed, to avoid such tedious situations."
"You
invited him into bed?" Simon demanded, looking shaken.
"Ridiculous,
isn't it?" said Jace. "We would never have all fit."
"I
didn't invite him into bed," Clary snapped. "We were just
kissing."
"Just
kissing?" Jace's tone mocked her with its false hurt. "How swiftly
you dismiss our love.”

“Isabelle
drifted over, Jace a pace behind her. She was wearing a long black dress with
boots and an even longer cutaway coat of soft green velvet, the color of moss.
"I can't believe you did it!" she exclaimed. "How did you get
Magnus to let Jace leave?"
"Traded
him for Alec," Clary said.
Isabelle
looked mildly alarmed. "Not permanently?"
"No,"
said Jace. "Just for a few hours. Unless I don't come back," he added
thoughtfully. "In which case, maybe he does get to keep Alec. Think of it
as a lease with an option to buy."
Isabelle
looked dubious. "Mom and Dad won't be pleased if they find out."
"That
you freed a possible criminal by trading away your brother to a warlock who
looks like a gay Sonic the Hedgehog and dresses like the Child Catcher from
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?" Simon inquired. "No, probably not.”
