TRIBRID

Chapter 33

I watched as Jace tried continuing to escape. It didn't matter if he got passed the cage, the boundary spell was still up. Unfortunately, my silent spell is not.

"It's no use trying to escape. The trap you're in was designed to hold a Greater Demon." Isabelle told him

"Well, that's not very nice, trapping your brother in a box." Jace told her

"You're not our brother. And don't get too comfortable 'cause we're gonna bring him back." Alexander told him

"You and your undying love for your parabatai. I hate to burst your bubble, but when I was sent to your family in Idris, I was a desperate kid." Jace told him as Magnus walked in

"Ignore him-" I said at the same time as Magnus had spoken "Pay no mind to him, Alexxander." 

"The only reason I became your parabatai was to make sure there was a roof over my head." He continued taunting him

"He's just trying to get under your skin." Magnus told him

"Or maybe... I just prefer not to coddle your latest soldier boyfriend." Jace said getting in front of Magnus

"How about you shut your mouth before I spell it again." I told him

"Don't go acting all high and mighty, Stella. You're the worst of the worst." He told me

"Darling, your words have no effect on me. But do try, it'll be entertaining for me to bring you down a notch." I told him with a drink in my hand. Before he could reply Simon and Luke entered the loft.

"We got your call. Any news about Clary?" Luke asked

"You almost killed her! She gave herself up to the Clave trying to protect you!" Simon told Jace

"Still jealous she picked me over you, huh? By the way, that kiss at the Seelie Court... we never got to compare notes." Jace told him

"Let me in there! I'll throw you off a building!" Simon yelled hitting the cage.

"Come on! Come on, Simon." Luke said taking him away

"Go on ahead. I'll watch Jace. His words seem to be affecting y'all more than me." I told them

They nodded following the guys into Magnus office.

"Always the protector. You know my master told me something about you. She told me they called you, the η μάγισσα της παραφροσύνης." He told me

I smiled, not regretting what I did during that time. "I haven't heard that name in a long time nor that language. Your right, I may be a protector now, but darling I used to be people's worst nightmare." I told him

Before we could continue, I saw everyone coming out of the room. I walked towards Magnus and Alexander as they went on the balcony.

"If we wanna bring Jace back, we have to get through to him using the strongest connection possible." Magnus told him 

Ahh, there talking about how to bring Jace back.

"Which is me. I'm in. Whatever it takes." Alexander said

Always the big brother, but I worry.

"I don't think you understand. This isn't like the last time we tried to use you parabatai connection to help Jace. If you go in, Lilith could get her demonic claws into your soul as well." I told him fiercely.

"I have to do this." Alexander told us

"Of course. But if we help you and we lose you..." Magnus started
