And Maybe I Am A Monster. I Don't Know The Answer To That. But What I Do Know Is That Even If There's Demon Blood Inside Me, There Is Human Blood Inside Me As Well. And I Couldn't Love You Like I Do If I Weren't At Least A Little Bit Human. Because Demons Want. But They Don't Love.

He Looked Back At Her, And When She Saw The Look On His Face, She Saw His Eyes At Renwick’s, When He Had Watched The Portal That Separated Him From His Home Shatter Into A Thousand Irretrievable Pieces.

"you Are My Weakness." "and Tessa Is Your Heart," She Said, Not Angrily, But Thoughtfully. "not A Fool, As I Told You," She Added At His Startled Expression. I Know That You Love Her.

Will Gave A Short Laugh. He Was In Gear As If He Had Just Come From The Practice Room, And His Hair Curled Damply Against His Temples. He Was Not Looking At Tessa, But She Had Grown Used To That. Will Hardly Ever Looked At Her Unless He Had To.

She Hated That Will Had This Effect On Her. Hated It. She Knew Better. She Knew What He Thought Of Her. That She Was Worth Nothing. And Still A Look From Him Could Make Her Tremble With Mingled Hatred And Longing. It Was Like Poison In Her Blood, To Which Jem Was The Only Antidote.

Charlotte Said That If I Chose, I Could Cease To Be A Gray And Take The Name My Mother Should Have Had Before She Was Married. I Could Be A Starkweather. I Could Have A True Shadowhunter Name." She Heard Will Exhale A Breath. It Came Out A Puff Of White In The Cold. His Eyes Were Blue And Wide And Clear, Fixed On Her Face. He Wore The Expression Of A Man Who Had Steeled Himself To Do A Terrifying Thing, And Was Carrying It Through. "of Course You Can Have A True Shadowhunter Name," Will Said. "you Can Have Mine.

Simon Asked, Directing The Question To Jace, Who Had Put The Stele Back In His Pocket And Was Examining His Flawless Nails For Defects. "only When They've Been Naughty.

Jordan Doesn't Really Care About The Blood," Simon Said Now. "his Whole Thing Is About Me Being Comfortable With What I Am. Get In Touch With Your Inner Vampire, Blah, Blah." Clary Slid In Next To Him Onto The Bed And Hugged A Pillow. "is Your Inner Vampire Different From Your...outer Vampire?" "definitely. He Wants Me To Wear Midriff-baring Shirts And A Fedora. I'm Fighting It." Clary Smiled Faintly. "so Your Inner Vampire Is Magnus?

Simon Turned To Jordan, Who Was Lying Down Across The Futon, His Head Propped Against One Of The Woven Throw Pillows. "how Much Of That Did You Hear?" "enough To Gather That We're Going To A Party Tonight," Said Jordan. "i Heard About The Ironworks Event. I'm Not In The Garroway Pack, So I Wasn't Invited." "i Guess You're Coming As My Date Now."

"we'd Better Get You Something Nice To Wear, Though," He Called As Simon Headed Back Into His Room. "i Want You To Look Pretty.

Isabelle Looked At Him Thoughtfully. "did You Seriously Jump Thirty Feet Out Of A Malachi Configuration? Did He, Alec?" "he Did," Alec Confirmed. "i've Never Seen Anything Like It." "i've Never Seen Anything Like This." Jace Lifted A Ten-inch Dagger From The Floor. One Of Isabelle's Pink Brassiers Was Spread On The Wickedly Sharp Tip. Isabelle Snached It Off, Scowling.

You Said You Were Going For A Walk!? What Kind Of Walk Takes Six Hours?" "a Long One?

You're A Disaster For Us, Clary! You're A Mundane, You'll Always Be One, You'll Never Be A Shadowhunter! You Don't Know How To Think Like We Do, Think About What's Best For Everyone-- All You Think About Is Yourself! But There's A War Now, Or There Will Be, And I Don't Have Time Or The Inclination To Follow Around After You, Trying To Make Sure You Don't Get Us Killed! Go Home, Clary. Go Home!

If I Was Harsh With You, It Was Because I Cannot Bear To See You Treat Yourself As If You Are Worth Nothing. Whatever Part You Might Act To The Contrary, I See You As You Really Are, My Blood Brother. Not Just Better Than You Pretend To Be, But Better Than Most People Could Hope To Be.

But The Person Who Stepped Out Of The Front Door Was Tall And Thin, With Short, Spiky Dark Hair. He Was Wearing A Gold Mesh Vest And A Pair Of Silk Pajama Pants. He Regarded Clary With Mild Interest, Puffing Gently On A Fantastically Large Pipe As He Did So. Though He Looked Nothing At All Like A Viking, He Was Instantly And Totally Familiar. Magnus Bane

Simon Looked At Jordan Who Was Looking At Maia Again. She Had Her Back To Them And Was Talking To Luke And Jocelyn, Laughing, Flinging Her Curly Hair Back. "don't Even Think About It," Simon Said, And Got Up. He Pointed At Jordan. "you Stay Here." "and Do What?" "whatever Praetor Lupas Do In This Situation. Meditate. Contemplate Your Jedi Powers. Whatever.

I Curse You," It Said. "all Who Love You Will Die. Their Love Will Be Their Destruction. 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.

Do People Ever Climb The Demon Towers? Like, For Any Reason?" Aline Looked Up. "climb The Demon Towers?" She Laughed. "no, No One Ever Does That. It's Totally Illegal, For One Thing, And Besides, Why Would You Want To?" Aline, Isabelle Thought, Did Not Have Much Imagination. She Herself Could Think Of Lots Of Reasons Why Someone Might Want To Climb The Demon Towers, If Only To Spit Gum Down On Passerbys Below.

"what Are You Doing Here Anyway?" "'here' As In Your Bedroom Or 'here' As In The Great Spiritual Question Of Our Purpose Here On This Planet?"

Will Suspected Jem Was In Fact Cleverer Than He Was Himself - But He Lacked Will's Tendency To Assume The Absolute Worst About People And Proceed From There.

Jace: "at Least They Wouldn't Be Crawling With Maggots. Well, Not Most Of Them, Anyway. There Was This One Demon, Once, That I Tracked Down To The Sewers Under Grand Central--" Clary: "don't.

Endless Hope, Endless Disappointment.

Magnus Began To Be Truly Alarmed. Will's Voice Would Have Shaken, Betraying That His Cruelty Had Been Part Of His Playacting, But His Son's Laugh Was That Of Someone Genuinely Delighted By The Chaos Erupting All Around Him

I See You're Trying To Distract Me From The Real Point Here," Magnus Said Instead. "you Had A Birthday - A Perfect Excuse For Me To Throw One Of My Famous Parties - And You Didn't Even Tell Me About It?

What's This?" He Demanded, Looking From Clary To His Companions, As If They Might Know What She Was Doing There. "it's A Girl," Jace Said,recovering His Composure. "surely You've Seen Girls Before, Alec. Your Sister Isabelle Is One.

Clary, You're An Artist, Like Your Mother. That Means You See The World In Ways That Other People Don't. It's Your Gift, To See The Beauty And The Horror In Ordinary Things. It Doesn't Make You Crazy — Just Different. There's Nothing Wrong With Being Different.
