Brother Zachariah had never been to the New York institute. But it'll probably look like all the institutes he had seen. And if it wasn't for Brother Enoch he wouldn't be here in the first place. He literally had to drag him out of the Silent City.
They were almost at the door of the institute. It indeed looks the same like any other institute thought Brother Zachariah. In front of the door stood a tall woman with long black hair. Maryse Lightwood, head of the New York institute. ''Thank you, Brother Enoch and Brother Zachariah that you could come so fast.'' She said. It was not hard to see that she was in a bit of a hurry. No problem, Maryse. We could've been here even faster but someone held us up. Brother Zachariah knew Brother Enoch meant him and he could feel that he was watching him. Despite the fact that he hasn't got any eyes like any other Silent Brother. Brother Zachariah did still have his eyes, only closed all the time. Silent Brothers didn't need eyes to see things. ''Well if you would follow me, I will lead you to the boy.'' Maryse said this while she quickly turned around and the door opened. Just as quickly as she turned around she walked inside. Brother Enoch and Brother Zachariah followed her silently.
The institute was big, just like the London institute. No, no I can't think about that now. Said Brother Zachariah to himself. So he just kept walking and hoping not to fall behind. This happened several times before.
''Jem?'' Brother Zachariah started. He turned around and looked behind him. But there was no one there. Is there something wrong? Brother Enoch asked. He and Maryse had stopped walking and were now both looking at Brother Zachariah. No nothing. I just thought I heard someone call my name. He answered. But it must've been nothing. Maryse was getting more and more impatient. ''Can we keep on walking please?'' She asked and before even waiting for an answer she turned around and started walking again.
He could see the door of the hospital in the institute. It was a normal door, not like the door at the entrance of the institute. Maryse entered quickly followed by Brother Enoch. He had fallen behind. Again. Brother Zachariah walked a bit faster this time but before he reached the door he heard the voice again. ''Jem? Jem is that you?'' He looked behind him. But just like the last time there was no one. Bam! Brother Zachariah missed the door and walked straight into the wall next to it. He stepped back a little. He felt dizzy and embarrassed at the same time. A Silent Brother who walks into a wall? He could already feel the jokes coming from the young shadowhunters. Brother Enoch appeared in the doorway. What is it with you today? First I had to drag you out of the Silent City and now you walk straight into a wall? He sounded angry. Brother Zachariah couldn't blame him. He wasn't himself the past few days. He never really felt like he belonged under the Silent Brothers. But walking without opening his eyes has never been a problem. I heard the voice again. He said whilst trying to regain his balance. Brother Enoch looked at him like he just said he was going to raise Valentine from the death and hire him as a cleaner in the Silent City. The last part wouldn't be a bad idea. The Silent City was very dusty and none of Silent Brothers ever tried to clean it. That's strange. Said Brother Enoch very slowly. But come inside and try to act like this didn't happen. Maryse is getting more impatient then she already is and that Herondale boy is not getting better if we keep waiting. After he said that he turned around and walked inside the hospital again. Brother Zachariah followed quickly after him. Not wanting to hear the voice again.
