Chapter 1: Pandemonium
Bzzzzzz…Bzzzzzzzzz…..Bzzzzzzz went my phone at the ungodly hour of 6:30am. I yawned, stretched, and cracked open an eye to read the caller ID. It was Isabelle. Panicked, I grabbed the phone, praying nothing had happened to any of the shadowhunters. "Izzy? Whats wrong?" I asked breathlessly.
"Why do you automatically assume something has to be wrong for me to call you?" Isabelle asked
"Isabelle, its 6:30 in the morning. I was sleeping."
"Well get up already, Clary! Meet me at Takis in five, its super important and everyone else is coming too."
"Everyone else?"
"Me and you, Jace, Alec, Magnus, and Simon," she said in one breath, "Now get your skinny ass up and move!" There was a click and the dial tone came on, Isabelle had hung up.
Shaking my head, I clambered out of bed, then threw on cargo pants and a black sweatshirt, ran a hand through my crazy hair, then as an afterthought, grabbed my stele and shoved it in my pocket.
Fifteen minutes later, I walked into Takis, scanning the small restaurant for the others.
"Clary!" Isabelle was waving an arm wildly above her head. I quickly sat down in the only available space in the booth. Unfortunately it was right next to Jace. He stiffened slightly as I sat, but otherwise ignored me. This wouldn't have bothered me so much if he hadn't sat there looking as perfect as usual before 7 o'clock in the morning. Isabelle had a knee length wool coat over her black leggings and boots, her hair slightly crumpled on one side. Alec kept blinking and resting his head on the table, his clothes were the usual. Magnus had a couple of crushed spikes and some sleep-smeared eyeshadow on his temple. Simon was wearing too short jeans and and his glasses were crooked. Then there was freaking perfect Jace. Shooing away my thoughts, I turned to Isabelle,
"So what are we all doing here again?"
She sat up, " Well, I was out last night, making a big break-up scene with Meliorn, and I was really laying it thick in front of the other fey, when he totally freaked and said he'd give me something invaluable if I stopped telling the Fey of our relationship." She smiled in satisfaction, "When I heard that, I told him we had a deal. Then, he gave me two books-"
"He gave you books?" Jace interrupted. Isabelle gave him a withering look and continued,
"Anyhow, I asked what the heck they were. He said it was the story of us, the people sitting here. The story of our recent past."
"Isabelle, we already know our recent pasts." Jace said.
She just gave him another glare and pulled out a green book, titled City of Bones. There was a greenish city near the bottom, and above that…
"Why is my naked chest on the cover of this book?" Jace asked in shock. "When was that picture even taken?"
"C'mon guys, let's take turns reading the chapters, I want to know what's in it!" Isabelle said, tapping her fingers on the Formica table. Jace picked up the book, still looking disturbed over the cover,
"I'll go first," he said, and started to read. The book started in the line outside Pandemonium.
