Robert Reached Into His Jacket And Drew Out A Crucifix.

With Their Hands Clasped Like Children In A Fairy Tale, She Fell Asleep Beside Him In The Dark.

When Two People Are At One In Their Inmost Hearts, They Shatter Even The Strength Of Iron Or Bronze.

A Great Sadness Welled Up In Magnus At The Sight Of Him. It Was Human To Age And Die, And Jem Stood Outside That Humanity Now, Outside The Light That Burned So Brightly And So Briefly. It Was Cold Outside That Light And Fire. No One Had Greater Cause To Know That Cold Than Magnus Did.

If You Do Not Intend To Help Us," She Said, "then Leave This House. Dawn Is Coming." "i Am Not A Vampire." Magnus Said. "i Shall Not Disappear With The Light" "you Will If I Kill You Before The Sun Comes Up.

She Looked Up At Him With A Smile. The Smile Broke What Was Left Of His Resistance--shattered It. He Had Let The Walls Down When He'd Thought She Was Gone, And There Was No Time To Build Them Back Up.

There Were Some Feelings You Never Forgot.

Sometimes Our Lives Can Change So Fast That The Change Outpaces Our Minds And Hearts.

We Came To See Jace. Is He Alright?" "i Don't Know," Magnus Said. "does He Normally Just Lie On The Floor Like That Without Moving?

Watching Jace Hug Isabelle, She Tried To School Her Features Into A Happy And Loving Expression. "are You All Right?" Simon Asked, With Some Concern. "your Eyes Are Crossing.

Pardon Me, But We Did Not Have The Time To Exchange That Kind Of Personal Information," Magnus Said. "i Could Not Have Known! Moreover, I Wish To Assure Both Of You That I Did Not Make Any Amorous Advances On Female Monkeys." He Paused And Winked. "i Didn't Actually See Any, So I Never Got The Chance.

But You Are Tied To The Story As If Being Dragged Behind A Carriage And You Cannot Let Go Or Turn The Course Aside.” His Blue Eyes Were Dark With Understanding — Of Course Will Would Understand.

He Was Will, In All His Perfect Imperfection; Will, Whose Heart Was As Easy To Break As It Was Carefully Guarded; Will, Who Loved Not Wisely But Entirely And With Everything He Had.

I Love You, Clary," He Said Without Looking At Her. He Was Staring Out Into The Church, At The Row Of Lighted Candles, Their Fold Reflected In His Eyes. "more Than I Ever--" He Broke Off. "god. More Than I Probably Should. You Know That, Don't You?

There Was Something About Jace, Though, That Made Her Want To Push Him, Crack That Shell Of Cynicism And Make Him Admit Her Believed Something, Felt Something, Cared About Anythinng At All.

The Weapons Room Looked Exactly The Way Something Called "the Weapons Room" Sounded Like It Would Look.

I Know What You Said! My Mother Would Never Have Belonged To Something Like That. Some Kind Of-some Kind Of Hate Group." "it Wasn't-," Jace Began, But Hodge Cut Him Off. "i Doubt," He Said Slowly, As If The Words Pained Him, "that She Had Much Choice." Clary Stared. "what Are You Talking About? Why Wouldn't She Have Had A Choice?" "because," Said Hodge, "she Was Valentine's Wife.

I'm All Right,' Jace Protested, But His Hand Gripped Alec's Sleeve Tightly. 'i Can Stand.' It Looks To Me Like You're Using A Wall To Prop You Up. That's Not My Definition Of "standing."' It's Leaning,' Jace Told Him. 'leaning Comes Right Before Standing.

My Rapier Wit Hides My Inner Pain.

She Glanced Down And Saw That A Glove Of Blood Covered Her Lower Arm From The Elbow To The Wrist. The Arm Was Throbbing, Stiff, And Painful. "is This When You Start Tearing Strips Off Your T-shirt To Bind Up My Wound?" She Joked. She Hated The Sight Of Blood, Especially Her Own. "if You Wanted Me To Rip My Clothes Off, You Should Have Just Asked." He Dug Into His Pocket And Brought Out His Stele. "it Would Have Been A Lot Less Painful.

Dear Me. Such Harsh Truths So Early In The Morning Cannot Be Good For The Digestion.

Hey," Said Jace. Who Was Sitting On An Overturned Speaker, Looking At His Cellphone, "do You Want To See A Photo Of Alec And Magnus In Berlin?" "not Really," Said Simon. "magnus Is Wearing Lederhosen." "and Yet, Still No.

Come With Me," She Said. "stay With Me. Be With Me. See Everything With Me. I Have Traveled The World And Seen So Much, But There Is So Much More, And No One I Would Rather See It With Than You. I Would Go Everywhere And Anywhere With You, Jem Carstairs.

They Had Met At A Club Fifteen Years Before, Etta And Magnus. He Had Convinced Her To Dance With Him, And She Said She Had Been In Love By The End Of The Song. He Told Her He Had Been In Love Before The Beginning.

Well, I'd Certainly Hate To Interrupt Your Pleasant Night Stroll With My Sudden Death." He Blinked. "there Is A Fine Line Between Sarcasm And Outright Hostility, And You Seem To Have Crossed It. What's Up?

Alec Muttered A Retort Into His Coffee. It Rhymed With Something That Sounded A Lot More Like "ducking Glass Mole.

She Had Imagined Jace Leaping From The Bed In Astonishment And Gasping Something Like "egad!" This Didn't Happen-largely, She Suspected, Because Jace Had Seen Much Stranger Things In His Life, And Also Because Nobody Used The Word "egad!" Anymore. His Eyes Widened, Though.

What's This?" "that's A Mango." Simon Stared At Jace. Sometimes It Really Is Like Shadowhunters Were From An Alien Planet. "i Don't Think I've Seen One Of Those That Wasn't Already Cut Up," Jace Mused. "i Like Mangoes." Simon Grabbed The Mango And Tossed It Into The Cart. "great. What Else Do You Like?" Jace Pondered For A Moment. "tomato Soup," He Said Finally. "tomato Soup? You Want Tomato Soup And A Mango For Dinner?" Jace Shrugged. "i Don't Really Care About Food.

To Always Have Someone To Turn To Like That, And Not To Worry Constantly That One Was Looking To The Wrong Stars.

You're Just Worried They'll Hire A Male Instructor And He'll Be Hotter Than You." Jace's Eyebrows Went Up. "hotter Than Me?" "it Could Happen," Clary Said, "you Know, Theoretically." "theoretically The Planet Could Suddenly Crack In Half, Leaving Me On One Side And You On The Other, Forever And Tragically Parted, But I'm Not Worried About That Either. Some Things," Jace Said, With His Customary Crooked Smile, "are Just Too Unlikely To Dwell Upon.

Screw The Silent Brothers." "no Thanks. There's Strong And Silent, And Then There's Just Freaky." "isabelle!

It Is A Very Strange Thing, To Be In Love. It Changes You.

What They Had Between Them Was Still As Fragile As Flickering Candle Flame, As Delicate As Eggshell - And He Knew That If It Shattered, If He Somehow Let It Break And Be Destroyed, Something Inside Him Would Shatter Too, Something That Could Never Be Fixed.

You Would Make A Very Ugly Woman" "i Would Not. I Would Be Stunning

Clary," Jace Said Again. "you Know: Short, Redheaded, Bad Temper.

Hiding Here, Are You? That’s Awkward.” “why?” “because I Had Intended To Hide Here Myself.” “you May Hide Here With Me, If You Wish.

What You Said Was True. We Don't Live Or Love In A Vacuum. There Are People Around Us Who Care About Us Who Would Be Hurt, Maybe Destroyed If We Let Ourselves Feel What We Might Want To Feel.

You May Choose Your Friends, But Not Your Unlikely Saviors,” Magnus Said Cheerfully.

One Must Always Be Careful Of Books,' Said Tessa, 'and What Is Inside Them, For Words Have The Power To Change Us.' 'i'm Not Sure A Book Has Ever Changed Me,' Said Will. 'well There Is One Volume That Promises To Teach One How To Turn Oneself Into An Entire Flock Of Sheep-' 'only The Very Weak Minded Refuse To Be Influenced By Literature And Poetry,' Said Tessa, Determined Not To Let Him Run Wildly Off With The Conversation.

Softly, Magnus Said, "aku Cinta Kamu." "what Does That Mean?" Magnus Disentangled Himself From Alec's Grip. "it Means I Love You. Not That That Changes Anything.

Perhaps, But You Would Not Exist Without A Woman, Would You? However Little Use You May Find Us, We Are Cleverer And More Determined And More Patient Than Men. Men May Be Stronger, But It Is Women Who Endure.

Love Takes Your Choices Away.

What Are You Doing Following Me Around The Back Streets Of London, You Little Idiot?” Will Demanded, Giving Her Arm A Light Shake. Cecily’s Eyes Narrowed. “this Morning It Was Cariad (note: Welsh Endearment, Like ‘darling’ Or ‘love’), Now It’s Idiot.

Clary: "he Wanted Me To Come With Him. To Join Him And Sebastain. I Guess He Wants Their Evil Little Duo To Be A Little Evil Trio." She Shrugged. "maybe He's Lonely. Sebastian Cant Be The Greatest Company. Magnus: We Don't Know That. He Could Be Absolutely Fantastic At Scrabble.

Ah,” Said Magnus. “nerd Love. It Is A Beautiful Thing, While Also Being An Object Of Mockery And Hilarity For Those Of Us Who Are More Sophisticated.

I'm Not Unhappy," He Said. "only People With No Purpose Are Unhappy. I've Got A Purpose.

Tell Me, Is He Always Really Rude, Or Does He Save That For Mundanes?

Will Sat Where He Was, Gazing At The Silver Bowl In Front Of Him; A White Rose Was Floating In It, And He Seemed Prepared To Stare At It Until It Went Under. In The Kitchen Bridget Was Still Singing One Of Her Awful Sad Songs; The Lyrics Drifted In Through The Door: "twas On An Evening Fair I Went To Take The Air, I Heard A Maid Making Her Moan; Said, 'saw Ye My Father? Or Ye My Mother? Or Saw Ye My Brother John? Or Saw Ye The Lad That I Love Best, And His Name It Is Sweet William?" I May Murder Her, Tessa Thought. Let Her Make A Song About That.

One Finds Nobility In The Oddest Places.

Because You Told Me You Don't Have Feelings For Me Anymore, And You See, That's Very Akward, Because I Still Have Them For You. And I Bet You Know It.

She Saw Valentine's Eyes As The Sword Hurtled Toward Her; It Seemed Like Eons, Though It Could Only Have Been A Split Second. She Saw That He Could Stop The Blow If He Wanted. Saw That He Knew It Might Well Strike Her If He Didn't. Saw That He Was Going To Do It Anyway.

What Do You Want?" Jace Shrugged. "clothes Mostly, Some Weapons." Sebastion Shook His Head. "too Dangerous. We Need To Get In And Out Fast. Only Emergency Items." "my Favourite Jacket Is An Emergency Item," Jace Said. It Was So Much Like Hearing Him Talk To Alec, To Any Of His Friends. "much Like Myself, It Is Both Snuggly And Fashionable.

When The Fey Were Worried, It Was Time To Panic.

My Will And My Desire Were Turned By Love, The Love That Moves The Sun And The Other Stars.

There Are Memories That Time Can't Erase, Clarissa. Ask Your Friend, Magnus Bane, If You Don't Believe Me. Forever Does Not Make Loss Forgettable. Only Bearable.

Not Everything That's True Needs To Be Said.

You Understand My Music.

What Did Isabelle Want?" Jace Asked. Alec Hesitated. "isabelle Says The Queen Of The Seelie Court Has Requested An Audience With Us." "sure," Said Magnus. "and Madonna Wants Me As A Backup Dancer On Her Next World Tour.

She Looked Up At Him With A Smile. The Smile Broke What Was Left Of His Resistance - Shattered It. He Had Let The Walls Down When He'd Thought She Was Gone, And There Was No Time To Build Them Back Up. Helplessly He Pulled Her Against Him. For A Moment She Clung To Him Tightly, Warm And Alive In His Arms. Her Hair Brushed His Cheek. The Color Had Come Back Into The World; He Could Breathe Again, And For That Moment He Breathed Her In - She Smelled Of Salt, Blood, Tears, And Tessa.

The Silent Brothers Are Doing Nude Cartwheels In The Hallways

Don't Order Any Of The Faerie Food," Said Jace, Looking At Her Over The Top Of His Menu. "it Tends To Make Humans A Little Crazy. One Minute You're Munching A Faerie Plum, The Next Minute You're Running Naked Down Madison Avenue With Antlers On Your Head. Not," He Added Hastily, "that This Has Ever Happened To Me.

He Made A Sound Like A Choked Laughed Before He Reached Out And Pulled Her Into Her Arms. She Was Aware Of Luke Watching Them From The Window, But She Shut Her Eyes Resolutely And Buried Her Face Against Jace's Shoulder. He Smelled Of Salt And Blood, And Only When His Mouth Came Close To Her Ear Did She Understand What He Was Saying, And It Was The Simplest Litany Of All: Her Name, Just Her Name.

Demon Slayers Take The Subway?

Simon Grinned. "you've Never Heard Of Dungeons And Dragons?" "i've Heard Of Dungeons," Jace Said. "also Dragons. Although They're Mostly Extinct.

She Closed Her Eyes And Jumped. For A Moment She Felt Herself Hang Suspended, Free Of Everything. Then Gravity Took Over, And She Plunged Toward The Floor. Instinctively She Pulled Her Arms And Legs In, Keeping Her Eyes Squeezed Shut. The Cord Pulled Taut And She Rebounded, Flying Back Up Before Falling Again. As Her Velocity Slowed, She Opened Her Eyes And Found Herself Dangling At The End Of The Cord, About Five Feet Above Jace. He Was Grinning. 'nice', He Said. 'as Graceful As A Falling Snowflake.

Mundies Die Awfully Easily, Don't They?" "isabelle, You Know It's Bad Luck To Talk About Death In A Sickroom.

You Point Your Feet Out Too Much When You Walk,” Will Went On. He Was Busy Polishing An Apple On His Shirtfront, And Appeared Not To Notice Tessa Glaring At Him. “camille Walks Delicately. Like A Faun In The Woods. Not Like A Duck” “i Do Not Walk Like A Duck.” “i Like Ducks,” Jem Observed Diplomatically. “especially The Ones In Hyde Park.

He Bent Down To Her; Their Mouths Met Again, And The Shock Of Sensation Was So Strong, So Overpowering, That She Shut Her Eyes Against It As If She Could Hide In The Darkness. He Murmured And Gathered Her Against Him.

I Saw You In The Library. With—” “ Colonel Mustard?

He Was Wearing A Look That She Found Odd And Compelling - That Amusement That Didn’t Seem To Pass Beyond The Surface Of His Features, As He Found Everything In The World Both Infinitely Funny And Infinitely Tragic All At The Same Time.

Always Ask For What You Want, Because The Worst Thing That Can Happen Is Embarrassment But The Best Thing That Can Happen Is Nudity.

I'll Just Be Your Brother From Now On." He Said, Looking At Her With A Hopeful Expectation That She Would Be Pleased, Which Made Her Want To Scream That He Was Smashing Her Heart Into Pieces And He Had To Stop. "that's What You Wanted, Isn't It?" It Took Her A Long Time To Answer, And When She Did, Her Own Voice Sounded Like An Echo, Coming From Very Far Away. "yes," She Said, And She Heard The Rush Of Waves In Her Ears And Her Eyes Stung As If From Sand Or Salt Spray. "that's What I Wanted.

It May Take Moments, It May Take Years, But Any Who Look Upon You With Love Will Die Of It, Unless You Remove Yourself From Them Forever. And I Shall Begin It With Her." It Snarled In Ella’s Direction, And Vanished.

If We're Going To The Silent City, You Might Want To Get Dressed. I Mean, I Appreciate The Bra-and-panties Look, But I Don't Know If The Silent Brothers Will. There Are Only A Few Of The Left, And I Don't Want Them To Die Of Excitement.

"yeah, Well, You Clearly Also Couldn't Be Bothered To Call Me And Tell Me You Were Shacking Up With Some Dyed-blond Wanna-be Goth You Probably Met At Pandemonium. After I Spent The Past Three Days Wondering If You Were Dead." "i Was Not Shacking Up," Clary Said, Glad Of The Darkness As The Blood Rushed To Her Face. "and My Hair Is Naturally Blond," Said Jace. "just For The Record."

Are You, Monsieur, A Man Of Your Word?" "it Really Depends Upon The Word," Magnus Said. "there Are So Many Wonderful Words.

I Did It Because I Love You!" He Half-shouted, And Then, As If Registering The Shocked Look Her Face, He Said In A More Subdued Voice, "i Love You, Tessa, And I Have Loved You, Almost Since The Moment I Met You.

And You Love Sophie." Gideon's Mouth Tensed. "she's A Mundane And A Servant," Said Gabriel. "i Don't Know What You Expect To Come Of It, Gideon." "nothing," Gideon Said Roughly. "i Expect Nothing. But The Fact That You Believe I Should Shows That Our Family Brought Us Up To Believe That We Should Do Right Only If Some Reward Was The Result.

"how Many Slices Did You Think Were In A Pizza, Dork?" Clary Wanted To Know. "less Than Five Slices Isn't A Meal. It's A Snack." Simon Looked Apprehensively At Luke. "does This Mean You're Going To Wolf Out And Eat Me?" "certainly Not." Luke Rose To Toss The Pizza Box Into The Trash. "you Would Be Stringy And Hard To Digest.

I Didn't Know You Were Bringing The Mundane." His Blue Eyes Flicked Uneasily Over Simon. "that's What I Like About You People," Said Simon. "you Always Make Me Feel So Welcome.
