"Magnus Bane"
"Izzy, I need your help, I can't take it anymore."
Kiara cried out the moment she entered Isabelle's room. Isabelle jumped off her bed and pulled her hair into a messy bun, while she examined Kiara's state, seriously. Kiara set a brown paper bag and half-empty coffee cup on Isabelle's vanity table and Isabelle clicked her tongue.
"Okay, first you reek of the dead and vampire blood is not good for your skin, so shower! You can borrow some of my clothes after. And a hair brush because your hair looks like a rat's nest and I rather we avoid, real rats." Isabelle sniffed the air, "what is that amazing smell?" She eyed the paper bag. Kiara's stomach churned, in hunger.
"That, is my breakfast. Jace gave me a fair warning that it's not safe to eat the breakfast you made for him Alec and Clary. So, I came prepared." Isabelle scoffed and tossed Kiara a spare towel, before sinking onto her bed.
"The boys were exaggerating, my cooking is great. You just haven't even tried it."
"Let's just hope, I never will." Kiara muttered under her breath, while undressing and discarding her clothes behind a folding screen.
"I heard that! Come on- I have some here- try." Despite her protests, Isabelle came behind the folding screen with a plate of what could have been, a nice simple breakfast of bacon and eggs. Instead, the eggs were not cooked enough and the white was spotted with something sickly green, chunks of cherries and there was, way too much pepper. The bacon looked completely dried out and withered and the smell was toxic. Kiara gagged when a forkful was shoved into her mouth, for Isabelle's sake, she chewed it meekly and swallowed.
"See... that wasn't so bad, was it. If you want some real advice don't believe everything that Jace says." Kiara nodded and drank long draughts of cool air to soothe her burning mouth. She quickly disappeared into Isabelle's bathroom and came out refreshed and clean, finally, after days. Isabelle passed her a pair of black leggings, with translucent stripes and a purple halter top, which stopped right above her waist line. Kiara was only in her underwear and bra, when she accidently knocked the screen over and it toppled to the floor. Kiara didn't mind Isabelle seeing her like this but the door opening was not what she bargained for.
"Hey Izzy, Jace asked to get Hodge and the little girl, said that Kiara was back and I was wonder-"Alec paled and halted in the middle of the room and gaped at Kiara, for a moment no one moved.
"Alec, you're not being very subtle, close your mouth or Kiara might figure out you like her." Isabelle remarked, almost bored before going back to playing with her snake bracelet. Kiara smiled at Alec, trying to tell him it was 'okay' but he flushed and turned on his heels to face the opposite wall. Kiara smirked.
"That's alright Alec, I don't really mind, you can stare all you want." Kiara teased.
Isabelle smiled to herself but Alec just stood even more rigid. Kiara went back to dressing up, with a sudden thought developing in her mind. Why not? It's been a long time since she let herself take an interest in anyone. Kiara's heart still aches from the last time, maybe this would help.
