Okay, quick note, this is my first story, so any good feedback or advice, or reviews are welcome.

Also, if I get like ten chapters in and still no good fan response, I don't think I will continue, but idk, we will have to see.

Head leaning down between my legs, I had to just breathe. Wiping away my tears and snot, I was messing up my make up but I didn't care. I had to go, Keep moving. For their sakes. Just keep running. Don't stop. Maybe someday I could return to heal their tortured minds, but with his death in my trail, I would not at all be surprised if the Lightwoods hated me with all their guts.

*Just Run. Don't you EVER COME BACK HERE, OR YOU WILL HAVE TO ANSWER FOR KILLING HIM!*

My mind exploded with the thoughts of my best friend, her words allowed in my mind by the marks of stele. With her yelling done, she whimpered in my mind. I desperately wanted her to know the truth, but it wasn't the time yet.

*I love you. Just run and don't look back. Find somewhere where I can't run after you and hug you when I have stopped hating you for running. Goodbye Clary.*

I woke with a start her words, still heavy on my mind. Despite the fact it had been almost four years, I still could not forget her last words to me. They weighed heavy on my mind, but I kept my unspoken promise to her, moving from institute to institute, roaming and learning. I had become a wandering soul, dedicated only to my training now. I rose once more from the floor, flipping Mia off my back, grabbing a bow and a seraph blade, and looking back, with a moment more, I grabbed a stele, marked a invisibility rune and ran into the woods.

I was currently residing with the Douloureux family, the keepers of the Olympic Institute. This Institute was made of dark woods, sloping halls, and gorgeous views. Centred in the Olympic Mountain Range of Western Washington, Clary could hear the rain pounding down on the roof. By the time Mia had finally returned, I had dried off and was sitting in front of the fire, braiding my wet flame coloured hair. The flame in front of me in the stone fireplace of my current room illuminated the few provisions I carried across the world. The bed had plain black sheets, No books adorned the walls. My clothing consisted enough to blend in if I had to, and otherwise only black clothing, mostly training gear, but some t-shirts, as well as jeans and two grey hoodies. Black boots took up my foot =wear, and a small satchel of make up just in case. The flame coloured my sketch book in a faint orange-yellow glow, the sketch on top a picture of his blood covering the floor. I saw her entrance, and just sat there, the two of us looking at each other for a few moments. She shook her head, and I knew. I had just had my presence called to Idris. The Lightwoods lived there, but I guess I might be able to escape them. In and out. Snatching a black hoodie and grabbing a stele, I drew up a portal directly into the hall. And instantly regretted it.

Damn it. How could I be so stupid? ALEC! He was part of the freaking Clave. Oh well, here goes nothing. I stepped into the room, my presence unnoticed due to an amazing invisibility rune. Magnus was there, and looked up, seeing my entrance albeit no one else could. He nodded, and escorted Alec out. I removed my rune to surprised gasps. Alec was still out, so I had a few minutes. They immediately got down to business.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I had been allowed to leave, with promise to keep in contact with the Clave. I nodded, replacing the rune, and walking outside. The entire Lightwood family were outside, waiting. Then I saw a sight that broke my heart. I kept looking around, but the deep shadows under the eyes of Maryse, Robert, and Izzy made me sure. Izzy was dressed in all black, still mourning his death. Alec walked put with Magnus behind him. Magnus just stared, a smile beginning to form, when Alec saw the smile in my direction. I was standing off to the side of the building, and gestured for him to keep silent. He just openly smiled, and shook his head. Alec was just watching, looking in my direction, and not seeing anything, then looking concerned toward Magnus, his smile unwavering towards me. I grabbed his elbow, dragging him to the pole, and then began to carve a rune into his skin. I let him go and began to mentally argue with , that only lasted so long:

"MAGNUS, YOU DARE NOT SAY A DAMN THING, OR BY THE ANGEL I SWEAR I WILL FIND SOME PERFECT ETERNAL TORTURE. SO SHUT THE HELL UP!"

He just looked at me for a moment, before I realized the Lightwoods had heard, all on red alert. Alec just shook his head in my direction.

His eyes burst into tears, looking at Magnus;

"HOW DARE YOU, THAT IS NOT FUNNY SHE SHOULD BE DEAD FOR KILLING HIM, SO YOU STOP USING HER VOICE!"

Magnus turned on him with a look of utter disgust, and Alec shut up, going into Magnus's arms.

"I'm sorry. we are all just tight. lets just get out of here. Please?"

Magnus turned in my direction and I read his gaze. Marching over to the side of the building, I started drawing the runes on the wall, leaving one of them not quite finished, but covered in a invisibility rune, before redrawing the invisibility rune on myself once more. He grabbed Alec's stele, and finished the last rune on the wall, the portal glowing a light blue, matching the colour of midday sky here in Idris. Maryse and Robert left, huddled in each other's embrace. Alec stayed put, and I watched the portal glow a fainter colour, until Magnus cut the connection, the portal a pale blue, slashed with white to match the whitewash of the hall.

Magnus just stared at me fora while, until Alec turned around, his face instantly pale.

He saw me.

I ran.

Again.

I just had to...

I couldn't form another though before black enveloped my vision.
