Reunited

It was the hardest thing I had ever done, yet the easiest thing I had ever done. Staring at those big unwelcome doors. I didn't even know how it happened. I only told the Clave what I remembered. That it was all black until a small shimmer of light far off. Running into the light had brought here, but I only had one childhood memory. My mom, Luke and Simon laughing tremendously at some joke I had told them. Mom. I missed her so much, I always felt safer when she was around. But I was glad at least someone had time to come with me here.

Flashback:

"Clary? Darling? I know this is hard, but... the first time I kept such a big secret from you, you ended up mad at me. I don't ever want that to happen again, so this time I want you to know the whole truth." My mom, Jocelyn, had said. Her voice was clearly trying to cheer me up, but her face was so pained, it hurt my heart.

Luke's comforting voice had snapped me back to reality, "Don't be nervous Clary. They're your friends, just because you don't remember them, doesn't mean they don't remember you." He patted my shoulder and after some time, gently pulled me away, shoving me forward. Giving me the push I "needed". In through the front doors of the Institute.

I tumbled through the gigantic doors, and looked back to glare evilly at Luke, but the door was already closed with a loud thud. I sighed and turned around.

I was so shocked, I took a step back. 7 people were standing in a semi circle around me, all looking at me like they'd been waiting for me. One stepped out from the semi circle, a woman, who resembled very much the girl beside her.

"Clary! I'm Maryse, and I am a shadowhunter. I'm sure Jocelyn has told you about it, hasn't she? She said. I nodded, mom and Luke had told me about the downworld, about shadowhunters, and how I had the ability to create new runes. We've been so excited to meet you...again!" She added awkwardly. She was very friendly, and pretty. "Anyway, I believe that you want to be introduced to your friends. Therefore, I arranged this meeting." She explained, "Maia, why don't you go first?" She asked, gesturing towards Maia. "She is a werewolf, a downworlder."

I reached out my hand for a greeting. She stepped forward and reached out with both her arms, hugging me tightly. I can't say I wasn't surprised, but I hugged her back. I could hear her muffled whisper, "Oh Clary! I thought...I thought we would never see you again!" She sobbed. I felt so moved, so happy, that even I had to fight back tears even though I didn't know them. Well I did, I just couldn't remember. Eventually, Maryse had to clear her throat and Maia stepped back, wiping away happy tears.

That was pretty much how the other greetings went down, even Magnus, the great and powerful warlock, hugged me. I couldn't hide my shock when I saw Alec and Magnus holding hands, they just grinned back at me. So they were gay. This whole shadowhunter world needs some diversity anyway. The other werewolf, Kyle, was also friendly, but we weren't as close I suspected.

Isabelle. Well Isabelle didn't even bother waiting for Maryse's introduction, she just leapt forward and threw herself at me. She was crying. Simon stood beside her, with a smile and his hands in his pockets. I knew he was my best friend, I just didn't know how involved he was with the shadowhunter world with me. Knowing he was a vampire came as a big shock, but despite him being a vampire, I still felt safer when he was there.

Even though, I just met them, I feel a deep sense of connection towards them. Like I already knew them, and I already loved them.

When the introductions were done, I still felt as if something was missing. Like some piece of my heart. Something that didn't feel right. It was nagging at me, while I was talking to my newly-only-not-so-new friends. Until finally, I couldn't stand it anymore, I just had to ask. "Something doesn't feel right" I blurted out, clearly realizing I had held it in so long that I couldn't actually explain it. But I tried. They all looked at me weirdly, waiting for more information. I took a deep breath, using the time to try to come up with a solution to my problem. And then I found it. "Is... isn't there something missing? Someone...Someone I haven't met?" I asked uncertainly.

They all exchanged glances, like they were having some inside conversation with their eyes. Finally Isabelle broke the silence. "Yes. Th-" Alec elbowed her in the ribs, "Iz, he doesn't want her to know" He said quietly, even though I could hear him.

"She deserves to know." Izzy replied, looking directly at me. "There is. Jace."
