Okay guys. I know the summary sucked but please do enjoy this. Me and my best friend have been writing this and believe me there is alot in store for you guys and hopefully a lot of long chapters.
"Honestly! Why do you pack so much rubbish, Jessamine?" Victoria ranted on while she drug Jassmines bags from her room and down the hall of the institute.
"It's not rubbish! I need those things!" She said, as if she was talking about her life earnings.. Of which she didn't have.
"Is she just getting done packing?" Jem asked, taking the bags from Victoria.
"Yes. And I'm not helping her ever again!" Victoria spat. Jassamine walked out as if this conversation wasn't even happening, she had her arms crossed as she clutched her small hand bag under her arm while she put on lipstick for the 10th time that day. Jem lugged the bags down the hall while Victoria carried her very small duffle. Victoria had never been one to pack useless items when going on long trips.
Downstairs, Will was standing there just looking up at the ceiling, "Probably in deep thought again." Victoria said to herself. He quickly shook himself and looked at the rest of them with a dull expression,
"About time. What took so long?" He asked, Victoria and Jem both looked at each other then at Jessamine. Will simply nodded, "Ah, I see." Was all he said.
"We need to be going." Jem spoke up,
"Indeed." Victoria replied shortly, not in a very happ mood, she despised getting up early, and she hadn't slept well the night before anyway. She'd been having a lot of dreams about her time at the Shadowhunter Academy, she wasn't sure why, but she knew it had to mean something.
"Ah! I see you're all ready!" Charlotte said, as she burst through the door.
"Stop being such a morning person!" Will groaned as he leaned against Jem's shoulder. Victoria stood with her head down, not paying much attention to anything, for the most part the day was starting out like any other. Will was annoying everyone, Charlotte was being to bright and happy in the morning, and Victoria was trying to block everyone out.
"Come along, Magnus Bane is waiting." Charlotte said, turning a heel and walking back the way she had come. The rest followed behind her quietly. The made their way down the darkened halls arriving shortly to the Sanctuary, they walked inside where the portal was already open, "Be careful.. All of you." Charlotte was looking right at Victoria as she spoke,
"We will." Victoria mumbled quietly. With that said, they all grabbed up their stuff and walked through the portal.
Just like that they are standing in a whole new surrounding. "What a dump." Jassamine spoke up out of nowhere. They all shot her an annoyed look.
"Say another word and you're carrying your own bags, Jess." Victoria sneered. Jessamine glared,
"Fine." she said finally. They had hardly noticed Magnus Bane standing ever so fabulously in front of them holding a pure white cat.
"Welcome to my home." He flashed a dull smile at them. He placed the cat on a near by coffee table and stood up straight, "Now, let me see if I remember names." He said, looking around at them. Without warning he raised a finger, pointing toward Will, "William." he said almost instantly moving his hand, "Jessamine." he said and went on, "James." "And Victoria." he said finally.
"Where are the people who are to take us to the Institute?" Jessamine asked,
"Well go get her then," Maryse demanded. Jace sighed and turned to walk out of the ornate Library.
"I wouldn't do that if I was you," Isabelle warned him in a high pitch tone, a smirk on her lips. Jace rolled his eyes and opened a bedroom door. He stumbled through the chaotic room, his feet getting caught in the piles of clothes that littered the floor. He untangled his shoe from what he believed to be a scarf and accidentally knocked over a large stack of books. He cursed under his breath and made his way over to the bed.
"Glass get up," Jace grumbled as he shook her shoulder. In a whirl of sheets and pillows Jace was knocked to the floor. A small blonde girl straddled his hips, sheet still wrapped around her waist, her fist raised in reflex. Her blue eyes took in his blonde hair and golden eyes. She picked herself up and glared at the boy.
"Get out," She growled at him. He nodded quickly and pushed himself off the ground, scrambling back to the hallway where Izzy stood.
"I told you," Izzy sang to him.
"Shut it," Jace sneered as he stalked down the hallway.
Glass trudged into her bathroom and stripped to step into the shower. She rubbed her eyes with the palm of her hand and let out a harsh sigh. She felt heavy, sore, and was finding it hard to breathe. She forced her body into the shower, but her mind had returned to a much simpler time, to a faerie girl with a raging temper. She cut off the water and placed her forehead against the chilled tile in front of her. Glass released another sigh before wrapping herself in a towel. After drying her body the best she could she stumbled back out into her bedroom to dress. She pulled on a pair of jeans and a black tank top before lacing on her boots.
"Hurry up!" Izzy yelled from the other side of the door.
"I'm coming!" She called back as she hurried to strap a weapons belt around her. The girls hurried to meet Jace in the Library where Maryse stood with an annoyed expression. "Now what does everyone want?" Glass glared at everyone.
"Shadowhunters from the London Institute will be arriving shorty at Magnus Bane's house. You three need to go get them, and you will bring them here in one piece," Maryse told them and Glass rolled her eyes. They all doubted she could be civil.
"Well let's not keep Magnus waiting," Glass turned on her heel and walked outside. When the arrived at the loft Glass was the first one at the door. She rang the door buzzer once out of courtesy, then walked in, her head cast downward. She felt a jolt in her ribs, the pull in her clavicle where her parabatai rune lay. She looked up, blues eyes meeting green ones. A faerie hybrid stood amongst the London Shadowhunters, her purple pixie hair the same as it had always been. Without thinking her feet carried her toward the shorter girl. They embraced each other tightly, neither wanting to let go until Glass heard Jace mumbling to Isabelle.
"Well now we know," He smirked. Glass heard someone grumble from across the room.
"Will you shut up," Both girls turned to scream in unison. The girls look at each other, smiles crossing both their faces before they laughed.
"So are we going to get any introductions?" Isabelle asked and Glass gave a nod. A petite blonde girl spoke first from across the room.
"I'm Jessamine Lovelace. I want to make it very clear that I will not be helping with any of your Shadowhunting. I'm simply here because I have to be," to Glass the girl sounded up tight and aristocratic.
"Well maybe you should go back to where ever it is you come from, because it's obvious you're useless," Isabelle spoke. Glass tried hard not to laugh, but smiled unashamed. Glass listened to each person introduce themselves, and neglected to say a word.
Glass led the way back to the Institute while Jace was forced to carry Jessamine's bags. "Trollop needs to carry her own shit," Izzy murmured causing the boy named Will to laugh. Glass shook her head and smiled again.
"You're awfully happy," Jace commented and Glass nodded.
"That I am," She told him, her voice quiet. Izzy opened the large doors that would lead to the stainless steel elevator. Jace discarded Jessie's bags on the floor, causing the snob to cry out. "Now Izzy and I will show you to your rooms," Glass gave Izzy a knowing look, silently communicating where they wanted Jessie. Jace took Jem and Will in a different direction.
"Right this way," Izzy swept her arm towards a set of dark wooden stairs that led to the living quarters. One by one the Shadowhunters were given a room, Isabelle led Jessie around a corner and propped open the door. "And this will be your room," Izzy smiled at the girl. When Izzy returned to Glass her smile widened to a grin.
"103rd street?" Glass asked and Izzy nodded, "Poor insulation and rat problem?" Izzy nodded again, "Broken windowpane to let in all that noise?" Izzy nodded one more time and they both laughed. Glass walked into Victoria's room to see the faerie girl putting her clothes away neatly.
"This is so unreal.. I mean.. I never thought I'd see you again." Victoria mumbled, her eyes glued to Glass.
"Me either.." Glass spoke quietly, starring back at her purple haired companion. Victoria unpacked her things and placed neatly just as she had in her own room back home. "I see not much has changed." Glass giggled.
Victoria had finally put away all her things and Glass was starting to become restless, as she always did when she sat in a place for too long. "You want to show me around?" Tori asked and Glass nodded. It would give her something to do. The blonde ushered the other girl down the hall, pointing out the weapons room, the Library, and finally they arrived at the kitchen to find a gathering. Jem and Will were sitting on bar stools while Jace sat on the counter.
"Get your ass off the counter Jonathan! I eat right there," Glass glared at the boy, who in turn cringed at his first name. He got off the counter and rolled his eyes.
"What are you two doing? Shouldn't you be taking a shower together or something?" Jace asked.
"I was about to go up to the green house, but I'm sure you have no interest in anything without an ass or boobs," Glass shrugged as she turned. The two girls were walking down the hall and heard the boys quickly coming up behind them. When Glass pushed through the door to the roof she inhaled deeply, reveling in the smells of home. "It's like a taste of home," Glass murmured to her parabatai. Just as a smile graced her lips the boys clamored through the door, causing a harsh groan from the old metal.
"I'm queen of the world!" Will screamed in his English draw as he ran over to the rail along the roof, throwing his arms out into the air. It looked like a scene from Titanic. Glass heard a burst of laughter from everyone around her and she giggled to herself. She looked over to find Victoria talking to Izzy, who must have been on the roof already.
"Never let go Jack!" Everyone heard Jace calling, trying to mimic Kate Winslet's accent. This caused Glass to laugh to herself, hand coming up to her mouth to cover her pearly whites.
"I like that one but the other is more my style." Izzy said to Victoria. Victoria smiled watching Will and Jem.
"Go for it." She said, looking up at Izzy who was grinning like a possum. Victoria continued to chat with Glass whilst the rest carried on laughing at Will who was still making a fool of himself. Jace quickly joined in on the fun as well.
Glass walked down the stairs before anyone else and tried her best to pull a Houdini. She leaned her head against the cool stone fireplace in the music room now. She was sitting on the floor, knees pulled to her chest and her eyes closed. She just needed time alone. Time to get a hold of herself. She'd shut herself off the moment she stepped foot through that portal after their expulsion from the academy, but now her emotions were plain on her face. Her walls were breaking, and when Tori leaves for home Glass will be left to build them back up.
The blonde heard giggling in the hallway. Isabelle was about to sink her teeth into one of the new guys. Glass rolled her eyes and tried to submerse herself in her thoughts.
Perhaps she could get out with Tori without anyone else tagging along. They needed to catch up, preferably away from the Institute. Glass forced her legs to carry her to her room. She dug a pair of black shorts out of a pile of clean clothes in the corner. She pulled off her boots and jeans before pulling on the shorts. She flopped onto her bed, face first, nuzzling a pillow. A knock came at her door as she was just about to drift to sleep.
"What?" The girl groaned as she shoved herself from her sanctuary.
"Family meeting. Library," Izzy's voice came quickly.
"Okay," Glass called back. She pulled her boots back on and laced them quickly before making her way to the Library. Jace and Will were standing near a marble fireplace, talking to each other as the glow of the flames seemed to catch the hard outlines of their bodies and soften them.
Maryse came in a moment later, looking stiff. "Welcome to the New York City Institute, I'm Maryse Lightwood, Alec and Isabelle's mother. I'm also head of this Institute." She smiled at the London Nephilium.
"Uhm.. Isn't there suppose to be four of you?" Maryse asked.
"Maybe she could be our forth." Glass looked to see Will pointing to a grotesque statue in the corner. She pulled her lips into a thin line to keep from laughing.
"I'll go fetch her." Victoria said quietly. Tori began yelling as she climbed the stairs. "JESSAMINE LOVELACE!" She screamed, "GET YOUR PRISSY ASS DOWNSTAIRS RIGHT NOW. THIS IS VERY RUDE. EVEN FOR YOU."
Jace mumbled under his breath, "She's cute when she's upset."
Glass finally let a laugh escape her lips, "Oh Jace, Jace Jace Jace. You will know when she's upset." She said trying to contain her laughter. Above her, Glass heard a very loud crash of a door slamming. When Tori entered the room, "Now.. Now she's upset." Glass mumbled. Tori's eyes were blazing with the fire of her anger. Her usually tan skin was pale and unnaturally green. Her violet locks had lost their color to shine a light silver.
The last time Glass had seen her like this Tori had almost killed someone. The angry faerie walked over to Jace and pulled his weapons strap from across his chest. Glass felt a hand grasp her wrist is a painfully tight squeeze, elongated nails digging into the clairvoyance rune that lay just above her palm.
"Izzy. Come along." Victoria growled. Glass knew the girl better than anyone, this would not end well.
"U-uh.. Why me?" Izzy's voice shook slightly. The brunette had never encountered an angry faerie before.
Victoria gave Isabelle small grin, small fangs showing from behind her upper lip, "We're going shopping." Tori turned dragging her parabatai behind her out of the room and toward the elevator.
"Izzy, grab my weapons belt!" Glass called over her shoulder, not protesting at the grip that was still dragging her forward.
Once outside, Victoria doesn't even bother with a car, she just starts down the street walking with obvious purpose. The others followed at a safe distance from the angered Victoria. Glass being in the unfortunate position of walking right next to her, wrist still clutched in her grasp with nails digging uncomfortably into her skin. Sooner than expected, they arrived at a small store. Within the forest of clothing racks, Victoria spotted Jessamine. She let go of Glass's now bruised wrist and march into the store, while walking toward Jess she grabbed hold of a rack full of clothes and rammed it straight into Jessamine, she watch her fall over with great pleasure and then without missing a step she starts throwing whatever she can get her hands on at Jessamine.
"YOU WERE TOLD TO STAY WITH THE REST OF US." She yelled. "WE AREN'T AT HOME ANYMORE. YOU CAN'T JUST RUN OFF ON A MIDNIGHT SHOPPING SPREE." Jessamine sat on the floor in terror.
Victoria could hear conversation going on in the background, "I want my belt back." she heard Jace say, her head turned back to look at him. She grabbed up a broken clothing rack and started banging it against Jace's chest.
"STAY OUT OF THIS." she yelled, "JUST GO BACK TO THE OTHERS PUT YOUR TAIL BETWEEN YOUR LEGS AND SIT LIKE A GOOD BOY WHILE I FINISH BUSINESS." And he did just that, scrambling to his feet and running back to stand beside Will, Glass stood in the corner being very entertained by her best friend.
"Told you~" She hummed to Jace.
"That's enough,Tori!" Jem yelled to her.
She let her shoulders drop, along with the broken rack she'd been using as a weapon. "Fine." She said, walking back outside.
Jem grabbed up Jessamine and pulled her along with the others. Victoria hadn't hurt her as much as she had just put the much needed fear of God into her. "That was fun." Izzy smiled, obviously pleased to have watched Jess get the crap kick out of her.
As they walked back toward the Institute, Jace spoke up out of the dead silence, "Let's take the shortcut." He said, motioning toward a dark alley way.
As they started down the road, a very low growl could be heard shortly up ahead of the group. Victoria put her hand on the chest holster clutching a small knife tightly in her grasp. Suddenly the creature who had been making the noise appeared before them. It had slick scales and it's eyes glowed brightly. It's body slithered quickly toward them, opening it's jaws wide. They all pulled out whatever weapon the could find and got into a fighting position, Jace and Will were the first to make a move on it, quickly followed by Izzy. Jem put Jessamine against the wall and ran off to help. Glass and Victoria shared a look,
"Just like old times." Glass said.
"This should be fun." Victoria added in, she was still riding her angry high giving her the power lunge forward driving her knife in the direction of the slimey creature. Within seconds the demon laid limp on the ground,
"That was easy.." Jace spoke up, clearly out of breath.
"It was one demon. There's six of us.." Jem said carelessly,
"But Jem- When was the last time there was only one demon?" Will asked. Out of nowhere, another appeared behind Jace, striking him on the arm, Voctoria quickly drove her knife into it. It dyed almost instantly and everyone rushed over to Jace, as they all stood around concerned, Glass spoke up,
"Oh no! I bet he's got the pox! The Demon pox!" she roared.
Will looked at her as if nothing else existed for a moment, and then, only then, he bursted out into song, ~
"Demon pox! Ooh Demon pox!
Just how is it aquired?
One must go down to the bad part of town
'till one is very tired.
Demon pox oh demon pox.
I had it all along.
Not the pox you foolish blocks.
But this very song.
For I was right and you were wrong!"
Silence enveloped them when Glass heard Jem mutter, "Oh.. My.. God.." While bringing his hand to his face in disbelief.
"God no! Not another one!" Jace begged.
"Jem told me that was like Shadowhunter Herpes.." Victoria look to her best friend.
"That's why Jace has it." Glass told the faerie with a straight face, a smile trying to force it's way out. Tori burst into a fit of laughter at her.
They help the injured Jace and a still stunned Jessamine back to the Institute, as they opened the door Victoria was greeted with a familiar face, "SOPHIE!" Victoria squealed, instantly turning back to her normal state. She rushed forward and gave a quick hug to Sophie. "I missed you!" She continued.
"I missed you too." Sophie grinned. Sophie looked past Victoria to Jessamine, "And what happened to her?" She asked.
Everyone looked at Victroia, "W-what? She was asking for it!" She protested.
Jem stepped forward, "Jessamine ran off without telling anyone. We we're suppose to meet Maryse when we found out Jess wasn't there.. And.. And Tori might have-"
He was cut off by Will, "She turned into the big green killing mechine." He said bluntly.
Jem nodded, "Yeah.. That.."
Sophie looked at Jessamine and sighed heavily, "Come along. We'll get you cleaned up, then I'm taking you back to London with me." as she spoke, she was already halfway to Jessamines room.
No one had noticed Gabriel and Gideon where standing in the doorway of the Library, "Oh great!" Will groaned. "Not you two!" He continued, both Victoria and Jem shared a frustraited look.
"Just when I thought this couldn't get worse." Victoria said.
"Aww did you miss me, Will?" Gabriel smirked. Before Will could reply a voice called out.
"Don't any of you start!" It was Sophie, she had Jessamines bags piled onto her small body while Jessamine followed closely behind.
"Feeling better?" Victoria laughed, Jessamine said nothing, she just crossed her arms and looked straight ahead.
"I think all of you should go to the training room while I escort Sophie and Jessamine to the portal." Maryse said, motioning toward the exit to the library. Everyone agreed that would be best and soon they all set off in the direction of the training room. As soon as they were out of site Will and Gabriel starting at each others throats.
"I can't believe I'm stuck here with you" Gabriel complained.
"You think you've got it back. Ha! I'm stuck here with both of you!" Will said in a loud voice as he motioned to both Gabriel and Gideon.
"You know what's worse than that?!" Victoria called out from the front of the group, "I'm stuck here with all of you!" she put her face in her hands and made sobbing noises, Glass slid an arm around Victoria small shoulders as if to comfort her.
"Don't cry, Tori! I know just how you feel."
They arrived at the at the training room, it was about the size of the one back in London. Will and Jace ran off to play with all the weapons. Jem, Gideon, and Gabriel all went to practice sword fighting. As for the girls, Glass was throwing daggers as Victoria sharpened and gave them to her, Izzy talk on about how cute Jem was while she watched Glass.
Victoria felt quite at home helping Glass, she used to do it everyday when they were at the Academy. Glass didn't miss the target once, she never did, it was almost like it was impossible for her to miss.
Some time past, nothing too interesting occured as they trained. Out of no where, the door to the training room swung open to show Maryse standing in the doorway, "Dinners ready if anyone is interested." She said. Jace and Will were the first to run out the door, followed by Jem, Gideon, and Gabriel.
The girls trailed behind. When they arrived the scent of Chinese food filled the air. Obviously from the werewolves over in Chinatown. They picked through whatever food was left.
"So what was this I heard about demons attacking you on your way home?" Maryse asked her tone wishing for conversation.
"Yeah. Thankfully Victoria had the frame of mind to stab that rotten thing before it killed Jace." Izzy spoke to her mother.
"We still haven't checked him for the pox!" Will called out to the blonde.
"Holy water! That'll fix him right up!" Glass smirked before they shared a look, the threw their water in Jace's face, making him cough.
"Tomorrow we need to take you on a tour of New York." Glass said to Victoria as she took her plate into the kitchen and sat it in the sink.
"Yeah that sounds fun." Will said from behind Victoria, he reached around and sat his plate on top of Glass's in the sink. Jace walked in, water still running down his face and neck getting the edge of his grey shirt wet.
"Come here." Victoria motioned to Jace, he moved toward her with a blank expression. Victoria picked up an old dishtowel and wiped off his face and neck. "Looks like I've saved you and your shirt, guess I'm doing good today." She giggled. He shot her a slight glare but their was also a flush of pink on his cheek. Victoria threw the towel down and walked out to the hall going back toward her room.
Everyone just stood in silence for a second, Jace looked over at them, "What?" He snapped.
"Looks like someone got a little crush." Glass said, the pink on Jace's cheeks grew to a darker red.
"I do not." He snapped again.
"Sure you don't." Izzy said coming in behind him.
"Why would any of you care anyway?" He asked.
"Because I care about her." Glass said softly pointing toward the door Victoria had just walked out not but a few seconds ago. Jace started to speak but instead just turned a heel and walked out.
The next day everyone got up bright and early to go on a tour of the city. They joined in the library, Victoria hadn't bothered to wear anything to flashy. Just a pair of black skinny jeans and a purple long sleeve v-neck with her black Converse, her hair was rather messy and she hadn't bothered with makeup.
"You look tired, Tori. Are you sure you wanna go today?" Jem asked examining Victoria from the leather couch he was sitting on, clutching Izzy hand in his.
"No no I'm fine." She assured him.
Soon Glass, Jace, and Alec showed up and we all left out on our tour. First we went to get brunch at a place Glass and Jace had been raving about called Taki's Diner, as Victoria walked in she was filled with the scent of blood and faerie plums. It reminded her of the plums Glass used to give her for Christmas. While still thinking back to her time at the Academy she found herself pulled into a seat, she looked around and saw she was wedged between Jace and Glass.
Soon a waitress came up, pulling out a small notepad and a little black pen, "What'll it be?" She asked, it sounded as if she was talking to everyone, but her eyes were glued to Jace and Will. Jace started to flirt, every so often Victoria could feel him glance at her but she didn't let it bother her, she just kept looking on at her menu.
"Can we order now? Or should I call another waitress?" Alec asked, getting annoyed. The girl shot him a look, but she didn't argue and took everyone's order. When she left Jace started fussing about Alec, everyone just seemed to ignore it.
After eating, Victoria found a way to slip outside and catch her breath. She sat outside leaning against the front window of the Diner, soon the rest piled out the door, "Where to now?" Victoria asked Glass.
"Hmm.. Central Park." Glass replied.
"Alrighty." Everyone followed as Glass and Victoria started down the street.
The Park was beautiful, Victoria felt very much at home surrounded by the large trees that held a thick layer of mist around them. As Victoria wandered toward a large oak tree, she could hear arguing in the background. She decided it didn't matter and climbed up in the tree, she leaned back against the large branch.
Glass looked at Central Park, still amazed by the beauty of the vegetation in the midst of such an urban area. She led the group down a sidewalk that would lead to the center of the park. She veered to the right, heading toward the area of the park that was over run by faeries and sprites, somewhere Tori would feel comfortable. Glass climbed a hill and heard the others behind her. The field was just ahead, humans never knew it was there, just walked right past. She saw the Seelie Queen standing among the vegetation, a man stood in front of her. She lowered she hadn't been seen. The others watched her duck and followed her lead. She soundlessly made her way to stand behind a tree, her view of the two Downworlders was perfect. Glass cast a glance over at Izzy to see her red pendent was glowing and nodded, just as she had thought. Demons.
Glass heard Will murmur something behind her and she turned to glare at him, but only saw him stalking into the woods behind them, Gabriel right on his heels. Glass motioned for everyone else to stay put and hurried after the two English men. She grabbed both boys by thier hair and yanked them back, her teeth gritted. She slammed their heads together then pushed them behind her with a glare. They didn't groan at the pain as she slunk forward to get a closer look. She heard the Queen's eloquent voice.
"Now everything is ready for him, at least here. I have done my deeds, as useless as it seems to me," The Queen was stiff. "I presume you have done your part, we all await the call,"
"Anastasia Nightwine is ready I presume?" The man asked, his voice having a bit of a British draw to it.
"Her wolves have gathered since the last full moon, she awaits the same call I do. The ball is nearing and the meeting will be upon us then,"The Queen looked uninterested. Glass stood abruptly, not caring for the noise and surprised the boys behind her. Her stormy eyes narrowed as she stalked back toward where she'd left everyone. She heard Will and Gabriel scrambling to catch up but she didn't slow.
"Glass!" She heard Will call in a winded voice, as if he was out of , just as she was lifted into the air. She landed on a tree branch. Her parabatai had lifted her into a large oak tree that she'd obviously taken up residency in because she looked rather comfortable.
"What are you doing?" She asked Tori.
"Just sitting," The faerie smiled. Glass cast a glance toward the boys, they were fighting demons that had seemingly come out of no where. Glass pushed herself from the safety of the branch and landed expertly on the ground. She pulled a sereph blade from her belt and sliced a demon in half. She began to slay them, one after another, but the numbers held strong, they weren't thinning out. Something was wrong. She tried moving toward her parabatai but wasn't making any progress. She felt a pain in her side, but tried to ignore it. The pain became raging flame as it spread throughout her abdomen. She turned, slicing the Ravener that had stung her in half with a quick motion.
"Victoria!" Glass tried to call, but her voice was weak, she was slipping from consciousness. She felt her knees hit the ground before her vision faded into a never ending darkness. She tried to fight it, but couldn't. She had to fight, had to stand next to her fellow Shadowhunters. Dying in battle didn't seem like sucha bad thing though. Perhaps better than growing old, better than living.
The fighting was a blur, she couldn't focus because their was so many. From behind her, Victoria could her a faint cry for her help. She turned around and saw Glass laying on the ground. A mix of worry and anger started to well up inside her, she took a deep breath. "This isn't the time for this.." She told herself.
As she let her breath out her body instantly started to sprint toward Glass, cutting through demons on the way. As she reached her she slid down to her level, pulling her up. "Glass.." She said quietly, "Hold on Glass.. Please hold on.." Her voice cracked. As she looked up to call for help, a demon came up with blood dripping from it's mouth. It raised it large claws to strike her when she saw a blade come through the middle of it's stomach, as it dropped Jace's large build was standing behind it holding the blade.
"Need help, Faerie Princess?" He asked with a smirk. She stood up, clutching Glass in her arms.
"You listen and you listen good. Glass is dying and I will NOT let that happen. So you stop with your nonsense and help me get her back to the institude or so help me God I will kill you." her voice roared at him.
Suddenly all of the demons just disappeared, "What the hell.." Victoria mumbled.
"The others have already left. Let's get back before they decide they still wanna play." Jace said, walking toward the busy streets.
They arrived back at the Institute, Izzy and Alec rushed outside to help get Glass inside. "He's already here." Alec said.
"Who?" Victoria asked.
"Brother Aaron. He's a Silent Brother.." Alec replied. Victoria felt that pain again, like someone was repeatedly hitting her in the chest with a baseball bat.
They entered the Institute, Alec and Jace carried Glass upstairs while Izzy took Victoria to the Library. As they walked into the room, Victoria saw a tall figure in black robes standing with Maryse.
"Victoria this is Brother Aaron. He's here to help Glass." Maryse said as she turned her head to look at her.
"It's a pleasure to meet you.." Victoria spoke quietly. As soon as he turned to face her, Victoria felt a jolt of shock mixed with heavy amounts of hate and rage. "I don't like this.." She voice was cold.
A voice came out from the back of her mind, "Victoria.." it spoke softly. Her head shot up toward Brother Aaron, she starred right at his face.
She couldn't handle it, she turned around and ran out the door as fast a she could. As she came to the staircase, she leaped up perching herself on the railing and pushed her body up to the top of the stairs. After her feet found the floor again she continued to run, not stopping for anything. She looked down and could see herself changing.. Changing into the monster again. Up ahead, she could see Jace and Alec exiting into the hallway. She could hear a voice calling for her to stop but somehow she just couldn't.
Soon she found her room, shoving the door open she stopped dead in her tracks looking for a place. A place she could go to block out the world. As she looked, her eyes landed on the bed that sat in the middle of the dark room. Instantly she dropped to the floor and slid her small body underneath the frame of the bed. She pulled her knee's in and laid her head on the cold floor. "No.. I refuse to believe it.. I refuse.."
She could see a figure standing before her, a woman dressed in extravagant silks. Blonde hair and grey eyes that matched her own, but the woman was older. She smiled at Glass, extended canines told Glass she was a werewolf. "My daughter," The woman smiled again as her eyes turned black, her transformation consuming her and a wolf stood in her place. She fought to get away. She didn't want this thing anywhere near her. Everything darkened again and she relaxed.
Glass felt weightless in the blackness of her mind before she felt her head begin spinning. "Shit," She muttered hoarsely. She felt a hand in hers as her body began to ache. She gripped the hand, hoping it was Tori sitting beside her.
"It's just another nightmare," A voice told her softly. The voice was male, sweet, and concerned for her. Definately not Jace, she noted mentally. Glass forced her eyes open. She could see the ceiling of the Infirmity.
"Well damnit," Glass thought before looking at her hand. The male was still clutching her hand, running soothing circles over the back of it with his thumb. Black hair shaded his eyes from her, he wasn't looking at her face. "Will?" Glass asked, her voice coming out rough and cold. He looked up, his eyes wide.
"Yes?" He replied, as if he wasn't holding her hand for dear life.
