Meeting Magnus Bane

So one thing I forgot to tell you guys about the other night was that my neighbor had a clue to my mother. She said a warlock by the name of Magnus Bane would be able to tell me more about what had happened to my mother and how I might be able to find her. Once Jace and I got back to the institution Isabella asked us if we wanted to go to a party tonight hosted by a guy with the last name of Bane. So we decided to go because what are the chances that just anyone would happen to have the same last name. I didn't have any clothes to wear to the party because they had all been destroyed with my house. so Isabella let me barrow some of hers. She gave me a short black dress with boots and pinned my hair up. Lets just say I'm not fit to live the pretty person type of life. The dress was so tight I thought it was going to suffocate me. Not to mention I thought I was showing way to much skin. When it was time leave Jace  looked me up and down and smiled while simon practically told me to go change. But of course I couldn't because this is all the clothes Isabella would let me wear. When we got to the party I noticed it wasn't any normal party, it was a party full of down worlders. Vampires, fairies, werwolves, all of it. To get in to the party was the hard part, finding Magnus Bane was easy. As soon as we were let in by the "security" he practically introduced himself. He walked right up to me and said that the only reason he finally let us in was because of me and "That handsome guy" (Alec). So far I've been told my mother has been bringing me to him since I was young to erase my memories and to block out seeing the immortal world. And that my mother is probably safe with Valentine for now until we come up some sort of plan to find him. I've got to go but I'll post again soon!

Looking for the cup

So I'm starting to understand more about this whole Shadow hunter thing. Jace has been really patient with me. From what he's told me so far I have now learned that werewolves roam the streets of Chinatown, faeries live in Central Park, and vampires ride demonically powered motorbikes. Yea I wouldn't of believed it either until he showed me. And did you guys know my neighbor Madame Dorothea who lives down stairs is some sort of witch. I also found out that my mom was taken by some guy named Valentine, who's after the mortal cup. Jace says it's some sort of powerful and important item to Shadow hunters. They call them Immortal Instruments. The cup is said to be the reason why we exist and that mortals drank from the cup filled with angels blood and so on. Sounds pretty gross to me. It's a lot to take in all at once but Jace says if we don't find the mortal cup soon things are going to get bad and that Valentine might do something bad to my mother. And that's when I remembered the tarot cards my mom gave Dorothea a couple years ago as a present. They were hand painted by my mother herself. The last time Dorothea did my reading I flipped over a card with a cup on it. I don't remember what the card meant but I do remember that I had never seen a tarot card like that before. Now I'm not one to really believe in all this magic and fortune telling stuff but with what's been happening lately I'm not going to think twice about the possibility of that card having to do with the mortal cup. Jace says he will check it out tomorrow. Well it's getting late I'll post again tomorrow.

I'm a what?!

So today something really strange happen again. I went to go see one of Simon's friends poetry readings and the blond boy at the night club last night was there too. It was so creepy because of what happened last night and to top it off only I could see him. I told Simon I was going out for air because  I wasn't feeling good. On my way out the boy followed me. As we got outside he said something about me being something called a Shadow hunter and about fighting demons. And that's why I was able to see them last night. I thought I was losing it. When he told me this I didn't take in very calmly because it didn't make sense. I'm a normal girl! Right? I mean I've been the most normal person in the world. I'm not popular, I don't have a boyfriend, I'm so off the charts that I couldn't be some Shadow hunter meant to save the world like he keeps telling me I am. Even my mom is boring. I mean she paints for a living so there's nothing to it, I'm completely normal. That's what I thought  until I got a phone call from my mom.When I answered it it was her screaming "Don't come home! Don't come home! It's not safe, go home with Simon!" So of course I made the stupid mistake and went home where I found our apartment torn apart and my mother missing. And to top it off that's when I got attacked by something. It scratched me but that was it because then Jace showed up and killed it. He called it a demon of some sort? I'm not really sure about anything after I got scratched though. Jace says it was because the demon had a poison in its claws and that the only reason I'm still alive is because he used something called a rune on me. What ever that means. I'm still really questioning what been going on lately. I'll post again soon I just have to figure things out.
Yours truly,
Clary Fray

Is this really happening?

You would not believe what just happened to me, the day started off like any other day Simon came over to hang out and then we went to our favorite nightclub pandemonium. When we finally got there and was on our way in I saw this totally gorgeous guy who had blue hair and some sort of fake sword that he was using to mess around with the security who wouldn't let him in. The security didn't seem to like him that much. The boy with the blue hair finally gave up the sword and made his way in and that was that. I didn't see him again until I got in with Simon. The boy was dancing with some girl that I assumed he just met. She had pretty long black hair and was in a white sundress with the red pendent necklace. Me and Simon wanted to go dance but the music was horrible. It had no beat to it and it was impossible to dance to. So Simon went to get us something to drink. While he was gone I saw the boy and girl go to the back room. I didn't think much of it until two other boys followed them in. One of the boys was taller with light fair blond hair and golden eyes well the other was slightly shorter with a short dark brown mess of hair. They appeared to have what looked like knives and that's when Simon came back. I asked him to go get security well I mistakenly tried to sneak into the room to see what they were doing. I got in and hid behind a wall of paint cans and that's when I saw the two boys who had followed them in as well as the girl tying up the blue haired boy to a chair. They were asking a whole bunch of questions like why he was there and what he was going to do here, that he wouldn't be able to trick them, and that he was going to die for being a demon. I don't know when or where the girl pulled out a whip from but suddenly she was releasing it's coil on the blue haired boys back. And that's when I made the mistake to scream. They all looked at me with a confused expression as if I shouldn't be there. As if I shouldn't have seen that and that's when the taller boy started chasing me. I ran out of the room as quickly as I could with one last glance I saw the blue hair boy disappear. On the way out I ran into Simon on accident. When I told him what was happening he didn't believe me, he thought I was as losing it. So he took me home for the night. Well it getting late and I'm still not sure if this all really happened so I'll post again later.
