Hi so basically this follows my oc Piper in the events of the whole mortal instruments world and how the events kind of unfold around her, I've never written a story for a book before so this is all new to me and I'm still trying to figure it all out so I hope you like it and please review to let me know what you think
Disclaimer: I own nothing of the characters or events that happen in this story except for Piper and the ones that I add into it. Also I'm severely dyslexic so I'm sorry for any spelling or gramma mistakes
Chapter 1: a plan gone wrong
Normal teenagers on a summers night would be getting ready with her friends before going out to a club where they would try to use fake ids in order to enter the club but that was the thing about Piper's life, she wasn't a normal teenager so instead Piper was currently getting dressed in her usual all black outfit which consisted of a black sheer overlay top with a black tank top underneath, a pair of high waisted black leather pants, a leather jacket and a pair of chunky heeled boots. She decided to wear her long dark brown waves down and falling down onto her back before putting the front two sections in a twisty half up half down style, she also wore dark brown smokey eye makeup to go with her dark pink lipstick. Once she was dressed, Piper headed into the weapons room in the institute so she could grab her seraph blades and properly arm herself for the night to come as she checked that she had her red stele with her as well as that most of her runes were covered up when the others came into the room to join her in getting ready
" so do we have an actual plan or are we going to do our usual thing of just winging it?" Piper said as she strapped her blades to her waist making sure that they were secured for the time being
" well we know that there's a demon that regularly goes to the Pandemonium club and that he likes to kill mundane girls so that's a good place to start" Alec said summing up all of his research
" you know I always think that they are playing a little too close to fire with that name... I mean it literally has demon right there in the name" Piper said as she watched them arm themselves
" anyway the plan is that the loverly Isabelle in white here will distract our demon enough for us to corner him and take him out, sound good?" Jace said as he looked to Isabelle's white compared to their usual fearless black that they were wearing
" why is it that I'm always the decoy while Piper is always on fighting side of it?" Isabelle said as she fastened the buttons on her white dress to cover the black runes on her neck from the demons
" because demons are drawn to you while I tend to repel them away with my winning personality" she said making them laugh since they all knew that Piper was more sarcasm than Isabelle ever could be
" true and it would be mean that you would actually have to smile and be a little more preppy than you're capable of" Isabelle said getting nudging her shoulder showing the younger girl that she was only joking
" plus I think I prefer it this way, I mean I like you being near me before we go into a fight... it calms me" Jace said showing a rare side of himself that he didn't show even to those closest to him
" aww is the great Jace Wayland admitting that I'm lucky charm or worst that he needs someone? I might faint with shock, Alec catch me" she said as they all did their final check before heading out of the institute
" I wouldn't go as far as to say that but you're defiantly handy to have on the fighting side of things than the flirty side of them" Jace said somewhat less confident than he usually is about things
" and I'm not? All I am is what? A pretty face?" Isabelle said as she stopped walking in order to pretend to be hurt and upset by his comment as Piper tried to stop herself from laughing at all of this
" no ummm I just meant that Piper is... but you know that you're a... Alec, help me out here please" he said looking to his parabatai for help on how to handle his sister since he knew he was making it worse
" no way, I'm kinda enjoying watching you dig yourself a hole right now" Alec said knowing that it wasn't everyday that his best friend struggled with this kind of thing as Piper and Isabelle ganged up on him
" let's just get to the club and do this ok?" Jace said clearly now in a huff about what just happened as the two girls began to laugh at what happened as he walked ahead of them
" we're actually here, just turn right and tada... here we are" Isabelle said as Jace and the others followed her directions as they turned to see the club that they were going to use to corner their target
" and there is our target, he's the one with the blue hair waiting in line to get in" Alec said pointing out who their target was and where he was as they tried to keep out of sight as much as possible
" anyone else noticing the angelic rune on the signage?... so what's our play here?" She said knowing that they all bore the same rune on their skin that marked them as shadowhunters
" we wait till he goes in then we will slip in so that Isabelle can go one way to catch his eye while we'll go another to watch and wait her signal" Alec said taking control of the situation as the oldest
" then we get to send back from wherever the hell he came from" Jace said clearly looking more forward to the kill they were about to make then the rest of the plan like they were for now anyway
Soon the blue haired demon somehow wangled his way into the club as the four young shadowhunters took it as they cue to use their steles to activate their invisibility runes so that they could slip into the club without being stopped by bouncers or noticed by anyone as they headed inside the crowd club that was filled with people dancing and being carefree as Piper was suddenly envious of them being able to relax enough to have fun as she thought about how she had never been that relaxed in her life since there was another demon or fight that she had to tend to. Her and Jace headed to one side of the bar while Alec went to the other so they could cover more ground in case things went badly with the plan as they waited for Isabelle to enter the room since they knew that the blue haired would see her almost immediately especially in her white dress
" looks like he's taking the bait... just wait till he sees her runes" Piper said knowing that he would stop adorning Isabelle and would instead begin to fear her since he would know who and what she is
" then he'll bolt so fast that there'll be a little track mark on the dance floor" Jace said thinking the same as Piper since they all knew that downworlders and demon feared them as much as they hated their kind
" ahh true love, the thing that a hundred of people have written and sung about but they always leave out the part where he runs away or the part where she tracks him down to kill him" she said a fake sweetly voice as she thought about how that was the reality of their lives as shadowhunters
" I don't think they would be as popular if they did, anyway when did you turn into such the pessimist when it came to love?" Jace said taking his eyes from the target to steal a glance at her
" I'm not, I'm a realist. I mean the only people we can actually date is other shadowhunters and it's not like we have a great life expectancy" she said knowing that they usually died young in battle
" and what's the real reason?" He said showing that he knew the petite brunette better than anyone else since he knew there was more to this whole thing than what she was saying to him
" people have a habit of dying or abandoning me, maybe I just don't want to leave myself open for that kind of pain again" she said looking away from him although she could still his glaze on her
" hey guys we should go, Isabelle is leading him in the storage room over there so we should go do our part of the plan" Alec said joining them knowing that they weren't paying attention to Isabelle anymore
" yeah that sounds good... I can't wait till we get this over with so we can go home" Piper said as she took her blade out before gently whispering its name to activate it as Jace did the same
" one thing is for sure is that when we get back to the institute, you're on cooking duty and not Isabelle" Jace said knowing that they would like if they could actually digest their dinners for once
" defiantly, make you could make those pizza toast things... guys hold up a minute, we need to wait for our cue" Alec said getting back in the zone as he agreed that Piper should do the cooking
" what's your name?" The demon said as they used their advanced hearing abilities to hear what was going on behind the closest storage door as they were thankful for their new hearing rune
" Isabelle" she said bitting her lip as the other three were fully aware that she was now in full flurry mode as she tried her hardest to keep him interested and attracted on her for their plan to work
" that's a nice name...I haven't seen you here before" he said trying to keep the conversation going as he thought about everything that he was planning to do her knowing that she didn't even know it
" are you seeing asking me if I come here often? Seriously?" Isabelle said breaking her current mode to mock him slightly as he noticed that dark black mark on her wrist that was beginning to show
" you... you're a-" demon was about to say before cut off by Isabell as she used her whip that had been wrapped about her wrist as a bracelet as she made sure that he was secured in his place
" he's all yours boys and Piper of course" Isabelle said as the door opened enough for Jace, Alec and Piper to enter the room so that they could begin their interrogation before doing their job
" lets make this easy for all of us okay? I'll ask you some question and you answer them got it? So are there anymore with you?" Jace said taking the lead on this one while Piper and Alec held back
" any other what?" The demon said as he sneered at them slightly causing Piper to roll her eyes at him since she knew that they always tried to play dumb before showing their true self to them
" seriously come on, you know what we are and we know what you are so what's the point in pretending anymore?" Alec said sounding bored as he leaned against the wall waiting for this to be done
" shadowhunters, you're all shadowhunters!" He said with such hate and disgust as he remembered all the horror stories that he had heard about shadowhunters destroying his people
" ding ding ding and the winner is..." Piper said with a fake menacing smile as Jace and the others tried not to laugh or smile at her comment since they knew that they had to appear tough to him
" you know you still haven't told me if there are any other of your kind here with you?" Jace said trying to get back to the point so they would know of any other potential targets in the club
" and I told you, I don't know what you're taking about!" He said slowly and determined that was going to be his answer despite the fact he knew what was about to happen to him due to them
" he means other demons, you do know what a demon is don't you? This one really isn't the bright tool in the tool box is he?" Alec said wondering how much longer this was going to take right now
" demons are religiously defined as hells denizens, the servants of Satan but for the purpose of the clave they are known as any malevolent spirit whose origin is outside our own home deimension-" Jace said giving them all a mini history lesson on demons as Isabelle grew more and more impatient
" that's enough Jace, just get on with it already" Isabelle said knowing she could only keep him bound up like this for so long and that they all wanted to go home at one point to eat and unwind
" Isabelle's right, nobody here needs a lesson in semantics or in demonology" Alec said tending to pick to his sister's side on this one as he knew that Piper would most likely pick Jace's like always
" Isabelle and Alec think I talk too much while Piper here is just like me... do you think I talk too much?" He said trying to taunt and out the fear of god into him as much as he possibly could
" please don't kill me, I could give you information... I know where Valentine is!" He said knowing that all shadowhunters would be interested in knowing where the most evil of them all was hiding
" Valentine as in Valentine Morgenstein?" Piper said her voice suddenly full of fear as she began to wonder if it was true as she thought about the fear and horror attached to that one name for her
" that's not possible, Valentine's in the ground and we know that. This thing is just trying to toy with us" Alec said moving closer to Piper in order to comfort her since they all knew what thinone name did to her
" just kill it already Jace, it's not to tell us anything useful" Isabelle said knowing that it was more important that they get this over with and go home than it had been a moment ago before this
" Valentine is back! All the infernal works know it, I know it and I can tell you where is-" the demon said getting more and more desperate to make his plea as Jace lifted his blade to prepare to kill him
" by the angel! Every time we capture one of you bastards you always claim to know where Valentine is. Well so do we, he's in hell and you can join him there" Jace said getting angry at what his words were doing to Piper as he felt the need to protect her as best he could
" stop! You can't do this!" A red headed girl said coming out of the shadows causing them all to stop and turn to her in disbelief that she could see them and didn't have a clue what was going on
" what the hell is this?" Alec said being the first one to break the uncomfortable and tense silence that had fallen in the room as he began to wonder what was going on right now and who she was
" it's a girl, surely you've seen girls before Alec that aren't Piper or Isabelle... but to answer your question, she's a mundie girl and apparently she can see us" Jace said finding all of this hard to believe
" of course I can see you, I'm not blind you know" the girl said in a tone that made them all think that they treating like she was stupid which they probably were out of hate of her ignorance
" some might argue that you are but you just don't know it yet" Piper said almost glad for the disturbance since it gave her time to recover and put up the mask that she had allowed to slip
" you'd better get out of here if you know what's good for you" Jace said warning her not that him or any of the others would hurt her but he knew that once you saw what was going to happen next it was hard to forget it
" I'm not going anywhere, if I do then you'll kill him!" She said knowing that was exactly what he was about to do before she had called our and interfered with him about to stab him with the blade
" that's true but what do you care if I kill him or not?" Jace said playing with his knife clearly enjoying the fact that he was toying and entertain this strange mundane girl with the sight to see them
" because you can't just go around killing people like this, it's not right!" She said wondering how she was the only one in the room that seemed to think that since the others seemed ok with it all
" you're right... you killing people which is good because that's not a person, little girl" he said a little patronising as he knew she was way more naive and innocent than he gave her credit for
" Jace is right, it may look like a person and talk one or may even bleed like one but this thing is a monster who would happily tear you sheds in minutes" Piper said trying to drive her point home
" Jace, Piper... that's enough!" Isabelle said warning them as she could tell that they about to do something reckless like they always did, Jace more than Piper since he was intrigued by the girl
" you're crazy, I've called the police so they'll be here any second" she said making them laugh slightly as they all knew that she was lying and even if she was then they knew the police wouldn't and couldn't do anything
" she's lying, Jace just-" Alec said trying to stop this train wreck of a mission when the demon suddenly tore free and threw himself at Jace as he began to claw at his chest as he sat on him
" oh god, Jace! Isabelle! Isabelle, use your whip!" Piper said panicking at the amount of blood that was coming from Jace as Isabelle used her whip to know him off balance for Jace to stab him in the chest
" so be it, the forsaken will take you all" the demon said as he began to bleed some kind of black fluid as Piper and Alec helped Jace to stand as they watched as the demon began to disappear
" that sounds like fun... are you ok?" Piper said as she began to gently check Jace's chest and arm where the demon had been clawing at him as she began to worry about how deep the cuts were
" I'm ok, it's nothing a healing rune can't fix and hey i know someone who is really good at playing nurse so there's that" Jace said trying to comfort and reassure her that he was going to ok for now
" stupid little mundie, you could have gotten jade killed!" Isabelle said blocking the red headed girl's way out of the storage room as she was suddenly filled with rage about what had happened
" Isabelle just let her go, hopefully she'll just wake and think all of this was just a bad dream" Piper said knowing that she was way to tired now to keep this back and forth going for much longer
" maybe we should bring her with us, I mean I bet hodge would like to talk her?" Alec said knowing that a mundane with the sight was defiantly something that hodge would be interested in
" no way are we bringing her to the institute, she's a mundie" Isabelle said wondering if she was the only one that was remembering that as they all knew they couldn't take a mundane to the institute
" or is she? Have you had your dealings with demons, little girl? Walked with warlocks or talked to the night children? Have you-" Jace said beginning to taunt her again as she cut him off annoyed
" my name isn't little girl, it's Clary Fray and I have no idea what your talking about but I don't believe in demons or whatever the hell you are" she said clearly trying to stand her ground
" Clary? Why are you in here by yourself?" Said a boy who looked liked the same age as Clary as he came to check on her along with the bouncer clearly worried about what she was up to
" hey guys, we should go while we still can" Piper said just wanting to get the hell out of this club as fast as she possibly could since she knew that all of this was long since over as she wanted to go home
The four young shadowhunters limped and walked home where Alec used his stele to place a healing rune onto Jace to help him heal faster that he would if they were normal teenagers or even if they had decided to rely on medicine to heal themselves while Isabelle and Piper placed all of their weapons back into the weapons room before getting dressed something more comfortable. Piper wore a grey tshirt with a sparky picture of a diamond in the middle, a pair of dark grey sweats and a pair of white converse. She also decided to braid part of her hair up before placing the rest of it up in a messy bun, she decided to part of makeup off so she now wore light eye makeup with beige natural looking lipstick. She headed to the kitchen so she could make the pizza toasts that Alec had requested that she make for them as Isabelle tried her hardest to help her cook
" would you just let me add some of this to your tomato sauce?" Isabelle said as Jace and Alec walked into the kitchen also looking more casual than they had before when they were in the club
" no because the sauce so doesn't need... beans added to it, guys please distract Izzy so she doesn't ruin our dinner yet again" Piper said knowing that Isabelle wasn't good at cooking at all
" yeah let's just let Piper do the cooking" Alec said as he more or less forced his sister to sit down with him so that they could watch her cooking while Jace stood near Piper as she cooked
" that way we can actually ate it" Jace said causing Isabelle to throw a nearby orange at him which he was about to catch with ease as she stuck her tongue out at him due to his comment about her cooking
" so who wants to bring up the elephant being the red head mundane who saw her?... hey stop eating everything!" She said as she hit Jace with a dish towel due to him eating the toppings
" I think we should hodge, it's the kind of thing that he'd want to hear about" Alec said knowing that they had no loyalty to the girl but had more loyalty and duty to the clave to do their bidding
" so that the clave can make her life a living hell? They are going to interrogate and god knows what to find out how she has the sight" Isabelle said thinking of the worst case scenario for Clary
" we don't know what could happen to her or even why she has the sight, there are a lot of reason why she might have the sight like being a demon or a downworlder" she said with a point look
" she wasn't a demon or a downworlder, I think we should track her down and find out more about her" Jace said as Piper stopped cooking to look at him as she tried to work out what he was thinking
" why? Jace, what is it about this girl that is making you so interested in her?" She said trying to keep her true emotions out of voice as well as to keep her look even as Alec and Isabelle shared a look
" I don't know but I just think that we need to learn about her" he said clearly not telling them the whole truth about this whole Clary thing as Piper narrowed her eyes at him to work him out more
" so you want to investigate her and then what?" Alec said clearly not a fan of this plan to investigate Clary Fray and most likely talk to her as he thought about where this would lead to
" I guess I'll do it what I usually do and wing it as Piper so elegantly put earlier" he said as he grabbed his plate before putting the topping onto it as Piper took them out of the oven to eat
" I know we always mock Alec and his ridiculously upright plans but I'm actually with him this time, I'm not sure this is a good idea" Isabelle said wondering if Jace was thinking with his head or not
" well then it goes wrong which is pretty likely all things considered, you guys can blame me" he said as he turned away from them so he could go eat in his bedroom to think about all of this alone
" Jace, wait... you're going to do this no matter what we say right?" Piper said as she caught up to him in the hallway after thinking for a moment about whether or not she could let him do this on his own
" yeah probably, why?" He asked as he ran his hand through his messy blonde hair as she watched his every move like she had been doing since they were children but now she did it more discreetly
" I'll come with you to investigate and track down Clary if not only to make sure that you don't get yourself killed" she said knowing that she couldn't just let go this alone especially not right now
" thanks... hey how are you doing with the demon mentioning Valentine thing?" He said knowing that she always had a hard time when it came to Valentine Morgenstein and the memories his name brought
" honestly I don't know, I've been trying not to think about it because if I do then I need to actually seriously consider that he might be alive and if he is then I can't..." she said trying keep calm
" I know that I don't know everything that happened to you when you were with him but I know enough to promise you that I will never let that happen again you ok?" He said gently cupping her face to comfort her as they instinctively moved closer to each other
" I know you mean that and that you mean well but if he is back then you can't stop him... no one can stop my father from his evil plans" she said placing her head onto his shoulder in defeat
