True Colors ¹ ✧ A. Lightwood

IV • Magnus Bane

Isabelle, Clary, and I sat in Isabelle's room getting ready for the Downworlder party tonight.

She decided that since we had no party clothes handy, we'd have to wear hers. She insisted that we fit in. She grabbed a black dress from her the bar it hung on and handed it to Clary. "That dress is way too tight." The red-head told her.

"It stretches." Isabelle smirked at her and nodded at the dress, "Put it on." Clary smiled at her and sighed.

"Fine." She retreated to a small changing area and Izzy looked at her clothes more for me.

"Try these!" She handed Clary shoes as well before sliding back to me.

"I don't know Izzy, I think I'm more of a 'jeans and t-shirt' kind of girl." The red-head came around the corner of the make-shift changing wall while adorning the fitting dress and heels. Clary stood in front of the mirror.

"You're so lucky to have such a flat chest, I can never wear that without a bra." The youngest Lightwood giggled and I snickered.

"They don't look small in that. You look hot, Clary." I smiled warmly at her while Isabelle finally handed me some clothes.

Izzy ushered me to the changing station and I rolled my eyes while laughing.

This was nice. Girl time. I had never had it before, or anyone for that matter and it made me smile. I looked at the clothes she had handed me.

There were black, denim shorts, black heels that wrapped around my ankle and foot so I didn't lose them in a fight or while running, and a black crop top that was draped to my calves in the back. There was a gold chain connected to the bust part of the shirt that hung just past my hips.

I came from behind the wall and walked next to Clary who had been standing there still, talking with Izzy as she sat in a chair.

The raven-haired girl's eyes widened in surprise and stood from the chair. "Wow, B. You look hot. you both do. We're totally going to rock this party," She smiled at the mirror.

At that moment, Jace poked around the corner of the doorway and came into the room, "Someone's looking badass." He stated at Clary. She turned to look at him and smiled.

"Oh, thanks." A small laugh left her lips and I could feel the sexual tension already.

Bianca. We're gonna go see Alec, he never knows what to wear to these parties either." She grabbed my hand and led me out of the room.

"What was that all about?" The more I spent time with Isabelle, the more comfortable I am with her and everyone here. They've all been so nice and I couldn't thank them enough for taking me in. I've felt so alone all my life and to finally have people who are being nice without a price is refreshing.

"Well, ever since Clary's gotten here they sorta have this thing." She smiled at me, informing me on the two. I nodded understandingly.

We made it to a room and I assume it's the very one to the oldest Lightwood. Izzy knocked, and once hearing his voice she opened the door and we walked in. I stayed by the door frame and she walked into help her big brother.

"I'm here to help you decide what to wear." She went straight to his closet and picked out few articles of clothing. I felt awkward being there, so I looked down at my hands while they spoke and thought about what it would be like if my brother hadn't died when my parents did.
