Chapter 1: The mortal cup.

Please review.
Chelsea's POV:
Izzy and I are getting dressed, ready to go demon hunting. Of course, she's dressed to impress.
"Isabelle, Chelsea let's go," Alec calls out not impressed at our time wasting.
I roll my eyes at Isabelle and she smirks as she grabs her platinum wig and we walk out to Alec who looks at her outfit with a less than happy look.
Even though I am not blood-related to either Alec or Izzy (Who are brother and sister) they are like siblings to me. My own father abandoned me when he was turned into a werewolf. I don't even know who my mother is.
"Hey there big bro," Izzy says when she sees him.
"Really?" He says to her and nods in approval at my combat boots, loose leggings, and sweatshirt.
"What can I say?" Izzy begins. "Demons dig blondes."
"Of course they do," Alec agrees before pointing at the wig that Izzy keeps spinning on her hand. "But that's white."
"Actually," I say to him poking him in the side. "It's platinum. Learn the difference."
He attempts to poke me back but I dodge it.
"Plus they don't exactly like Shakespeare okay Alec," Izzy counters and I choke back a laugh.
"You two are plenty distracting on your own," Alec informs us both.
I glare at him. I, unlike Izzy, do not like being the center of attention.
"So be yourself?" Izzy questions him. "Is that what you're trying to say?"
"Never mind," he decides to leave it. "Let's go."
We head down the stairs of the institute and meet with Jace who is at one of the computers. He also looks over our outfits.
"We're ready Jace," I tell him.
"Nice choice Izzy," he tells Iz. "Demons dig blondes."
"Told you," both Izzy and I point out to Alec.
"Platinum," Alec corrects Jace.
"All right guys," Jace begins as we move away from the computers. "For some reason, our demon friends are killing mundanes and draining their blood."
"Why do they want blood?" Alec asks. "Isn't that demon territory?"
"I don't know Alec," Jace points out. "Lazy vampires maybe."
I sigh. "There must be something special about their blood. But what could be special about Mundane blood?"
"You get me a sample and I'll tell you exactly what's special about it," Izzy points out to him.
"We'll have more answers when we figure out exactly who the demons are working for!" Jace says as we take our weapons of choice.
"So you don't think they're acting on their own?" Izzy questions him and I know the answer already.
"No," Jace replied to her shaking his head.
"They're not exactly creative thinkers they're shapeshifters," Alec points out to her.
We walk over to a computer with a picture of an Asian man with white hair.
"This is what our target looks like," Jace continues.
"For now," Isabelle and I say at the same time.
"Great," Alec says. "I'll get approval for the mission."
"Come on Alec," Jace says clearly not waiting for approval. "By the time you've sent that message, we'll have killed six demons."
"Besides," Izzy says as we head for the exit. "It's more fun to break the rules than to follow them."
"Amen!" I say high fiving Izzy.
We follow the target. Even when he changes shape we manage to follow him to a demon bar. The demon is now a woman in a pink dress.
As Jace and I follow her we both stop as he walks into a girl and she speaks.
"Hey, can you watch where you're going?" She demands from Jace.
"You can see us?" I question knowing for a fact we are both glamoured which means this girl has the sight.
"Yeah that's kind of the point," the redhead girl says. "But he clearly didn't see me."
"You have the sight?" Jace demands in a not so nice tone.
You don't see many people with sight anymore.
"Wait, then what?" The girl asks confused.
"How can we not know who you are?" Jace asks glancing at me and I shrug my shoulders not as bothered as he is, we are supposed to be hunting a demon.
"Has that line seriously ever worked for you?" She asks. "Even once?"
"JACE! CHELSEA!" Alec yells and I drag Jace away wanting to get this mission over with.
We follow the thing through the Pandemonium bar. I can tell that the thing is having a meeting. We end up in a back room. I quietly stand to one side. I want to let Izzy do her thing.
"Izzy," Jace gives her the go ahead.
She nods and heads towards a platform. As she climbs the steps she takes off her coat. Then she takes off her wig and some of the lowlife's step forward.
I notice their eyes glow. They are enticed by my adopted sister.
Jace steps forwards and stands behind the demon. "I hear you've been pedaling demon blood."
"Why?" The demon asks not turning around to face Jace. "You looking to score?"
"I'm not," Jace says chuckling before turning to the demon to face him. "But you're gonna tell me who is!"
"Well you're outnumbered here," the demon informs us.
"Oh I like our odds," Jace says in his normal cocky tone. "Last chance!"
He pulls out his seraph blade.
"WATCH OUT!" I hear a voice say and I turn to see the redhead from outside standing right behind me.
She pushes past me and pushes the demon woman out of the way. The demon opens its jaws wide.
"CAREFUL!" Jace says and then he shoves the girl aside.
I turn off my glamour and pull out my seraph daggers. Turning I prepare to fight the demons. As Izzy grabs one round the neck with her whip I turn around and strike it across the chest turning it to dust. Another one tries to grab me and another hits me. I jump and kick the one in front of me in the head. Swinging my head back I head but the one holding me and as he lets go I turn around and stab him.
I see from the corner of my eye that the redhead managed to get the seraph blade to light up. Jace slams a demon onto it and then he takes it from her.
"ALEC!" I yell and he throws me his bow and then I catch a few arrows.
I manage to shoot dead three more.
As we finish I see the girl has run out.
"That girl's trouble!" I say glaring after her but Jace doesn't seem to want to move.
Jace has done a stupid thing. He followed that girl home and has now brought her to the institute. He used an iratze on her which means she's one of us.
Apparently, she was attacked by a demon in her home.
When she wakes she hits heads with Izzy.
"Ow," Izzy says and I walk over to the two girls.
"Wait I don't know who you two are-"
"She's Izzy," I say folding my arms across my chest. "I'm Chelsea."
"We've never seen Jace so curious about a mundane," Izzy says to her with a smile. "Or distracted. Like you saw earlier, distractions are dangerous in our line of work."
"I have no idea what you're talking about," the girl tells us and I shake my head wondering how this girl can be one of us when she has no idea about this world. "Who's Jace?"
I chuckle and she turns to look at me. "You really don't know much do you?"
"Do I know you?" She asks and I raise an eyebrow. "You look a little familiar!"
I shake my head.
"The first time I met you was tonight," I inform her.
She nods deep in thought.
"All I know is some Psychos took my mother," she tells us and I wonder what circle members would want with her mother. "And now you people have taken me."
"And by taken I assume you mean saved your life," I point out to her.
"A mundane shouldn't even be here," Alec says as he and Jace enter the room.
"Where is here exactly?" Clary asks.
"She's not a mundane Alec," Jace points out the obvious.
"How do you know that?" Alec demands.
"Because the seraph blade lit up when she touched it," Jace explains and then he motions for Izzy to move. "Look Isabelle can you..."
Izzy gets up and moves to stand beside me.
Jace sighs. "I'm Jace Wayland!"
"I'm uh..." Clary begins but Jace cuts her off.
"Clary Fray we know you are," he finishes for her as we had learned everything we could about her.
"Am I the only one who finds this unusual?" Alec asks.
"You find everything unusual Alec," Jace and I say at the same time.
"I have to report this to the clave," Alec points out.
"You know what," Jace says trying to defuse the situation. "Dial it down a notch."
"My brother doesn't have a dial," Izzy points out as we both smile at Alec. "I love you Alec but you have a switch that's always on."
"I love you too," Alec says and I smirk. "But this."
"Hey, you know what," Jace says looking around at the three of us. "Give me a minute. Heres a word you never hear me say, please?"
"What is with you?" Alec says and Izzy and I move over to him. "No seriously what is with him?"
"Walk with us big brother," Izzy tells him and we head for the doorway. "I'll explain it to you."
"We don't know this girl," Alec points out and I shake my head. "There's no such thing as new Shadowhunters."
"There is now," I say before leaving the two to head into my room.
Why there I do what I do most days and open my locket. In it is a picture of my parents. My father, I haven't seen since I was two when he got turned into a werewolf and I have no clue where my mother is.
I hope to find her one day.
