Author's Note: I don't own Twilight or The Mortal Instruments. I have just used them to create a new twist on the Edward and Bella story line. I hope you like it! Cheers, Kelly.
Chapter 1 BPoV
I was having another dream about fighting a monster-no it was a demon. I didn't know why, but I knew all the moves to kill the demon instantly. I fought using these weapons that glowed and formed fiery looking swords. When I named them, the names sounded familiar, as if I had encountered them before and a strong sense of Déjà vu settled over me. I was about to deliver one final blow when a shrill ring cut through my mind.
Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep…
My alarm! It was Saturday and I forgot to turn it off. Grrr… I hated when Edward had to leave on hunting trips, it just means that I would have to set my alarm, when I preferred being woken by him softly kissing me and waking in his arms, gazing into those golden eyes. Only another month, then we'll be married and I will wake up to him every morning. I knew he had left hunting far too long since leaving last time, the whole family where going this time, they needed to get out and hunt because of all the wedding preparations. The preparations were wearing on everyone, especially with Alice in control of the details. Only Esme and Alice were staying close, about 2 hours away if I really needed them.
I woke to find the sound of my dad (Charlie) already up and speaking with guests in the living room. I changed from my pajamas into a pair of black jeans and a dark blue tube top that stopped just above my navel (Alice had bought it) and went down stairs to find 3 guests in the living room.
There was a tall dark haired boy with bright blue eyes, he was about 6ft 1 with a slightly lanky frame (Alec). There was also a dark haired girl with violet eyes who looked like she could be the other boy's sibling. She was about 5ft 9 with black hair that cascaded elegantly down her back (Isabelle). Lastly, there was a muscular boy with golden blond hair and golden eyes, he was 6ft 2 and reminded me of a vegetarian vampire (Jace).
"Morning Dad!" I said, "What's going on?"
"Well, Bella, I was visited by the Clave this morning, and these hunters, your friend's, are here to take you back to the institute," he said.
"Ok," I said, confused, "When did I wake up in the freak zone?" I asked.
"Bella, I'm serious. You are dreaming about the demons again, are you not?" Charlie asked.
"How?" I asked, still confused, "I mean, what are you taking about?" I asked.
"Bella, we have tried to keep the truth from you. Your mother and I only wanted you to have a normal life. We didn't want your life to be filled with Nephilim and Underworlders," he said sincerely, "I know about the Cullens and I know about you and Edward, young lady. Him staying in your room is not very responsible, we will talk about that later."
I stood there frozen to the spot, "Ok, what the Hell are you talking about?" I asked, "What is a shadow hunter and an Underworlder? And, how do you know about them?" I asked, shrieking the last part.
"Well Bella, there is a lot I need to tell you, but first of all, Jace would you mind marking Bella for me?" he asked.
At that request the golden headed boy I now know is called Jace got up walked over to me and produced this long black opal stone looking thing from his pocket, held out his hand for mine. I, with out thinking, put my left hand palm up into his right. He turned my hand over while smiling at me and I didn't stop looking into his eye's as he pulled me forward so that he could press the stone device to the top of my left forearm. When he started to move it, I noticed that it left a burn mark on my skin and it hurt for a few seconds before fading.
After the pain faded, I began to feel light headed and my vision became hazy. Jace dropped my hand then caught me in his arms and held me close to his chest where I felt safe and warm as the darkness consumed me.
Jace's POV
Same old Elly-Belly, fainting at the most annoying moments, but it's only because that part of her memory was blocked, so it caused her to keep blacking out.
When her full memory returns, she will not faint anymore, her body will heal and she will look like she used to (The Glimmer Will Fade).
I moved her over to the couch where she could be more comfortable, "Elly-B… Elly-B… wake up, sweetheart." I said, "Come on, time to get up, there's an Eidolon demon in the kitchen, it is teaming up with a Ravener demon, it wants to kill you."
Ella jumped from the couch ready to attack, "What? Where… Jace?" She spun around and looked at me, then, after about 2 seconds, she had launched herself to my neck and hugged me with all of her strength. She looked me dead in the eyes and kissed me passionately.
"Come on Elly-B, you can make out with me later. Now, we have to make sure you've got your full memory back," I told her, smirking.
With that, I pulled her from my neck and put her on her feet, she was pouting again, it is so cute when she does that, "Fine, I'll just get you later. Alec… Izzy!" Ella sang as she spun around.
They walked downstairs at an eager speed and Ella pulled them both into hugs, "I think… she has her… memory… back!" exclaimed Alec, between gasps. Alec tried to get out, but Ella had grabbed his chest and was holding him so tight that he couldn't breathe correctly.
"Ha-ha, Bella, you are the only one who can squeeze Alec like that and not get hit for doing it." Izzy pointed out.
"Yeah, even if I grab him in training, he freaks and attacks me back," I wined.
"Ella is my favorite person, so she can squeeze me. Jace, your my best mate, but you can kill me with those sides 'o' beef you call arms. And Izzy, my dear sweet sister, you are just pure evil! Ella here always has, and always will be my favorite hugger," proclaimed Alec, after being let go by Ella.
BPoV
Jace marked my arm and then everything came back, I'm Isabella Marie Swan, a shadow hunter from Idiris and known as Bella to my dad and Ella or Elly-B to my shadow hunter family. Jace, my darling best friend, my guardian, my angel Jace Wayland marked me to get my memory back, my dear friends Alec and Izzy (Isabelle) Lightwood. They were all here but why?
"So, what's going on? I didn't think I would have to see your faces for a good few years and I had to give over the shield," I asked my dad.
"Well Bella, they have come to take you back to New York. The Clave is meeting, there is big trouble and they need all shadow hunters to go in. With yours and Jace's blood being so sought after by other hunters and Underworlders, I want you to go with them. I will stay behind and make sure that the Underworlders keep calm." My father said.
"Ok, but what has happened?"
Jace turned to me and looked me in the eye, "Valentine. He is back and he has already got two of the Mortal Instruments. Now he is looking for us. Elly-B, you and I are very rare, so he wants us both so that he can summon the angel," he said calmly. My mind was reeling; he said it like it was the most natural thing in the world.
"What the fuck?!" I exclaimed, "I can't believe it. When I was protecting them with you, nothing ever happened. Now I leave and all the shit hits the fan! How does he have two of them?"
Jace looked from Alec to Izzy then to Charlie "Well, he has got both the cup and the sword."
"WHAT?! I left the cup in the cards and Jace, you are the Sword what happened?" I nearly screamed.
"He attacked from all fronts, both in Idiris and around the mundane's (human's). But at least we know he doesn't have the shield," said Jace
"Yeah, that's very comforting, you only know this because I'm still alive and because if he had got to me there would have been a blood bath. I'm kind of involved with a vampire and his whole coven are kind of protective of me," I said.
"Yeah," said Jace, he looked sad and dejected as he slumped back into the couch, "I heard,"
"Let's give them a few minutes," Izzy said as she led the two out of the room.
When everyone had left, I moved to sit beside Jace on the couch and took his right hand in both of my hands, squeezing it. His eyes were on the floor, "Jace, I know you wouldn't have used the sword unless you really had to, so what happened?" I asked him softly.
Jace squeezed my hands back, lifting his eyes to mine, "As I said, we were attacked and Valentine had the Lightwoods. He was ready to kill them to get to me, so I summoned the sword from within me and tried to fight him. He killed Max before I got there, I didn't know until after he almost killed me. As you know, it takes a lot to kill us, so he was not strong enough by himself to kill me, but he did get the sword," his tone was so sad, and it just made me want to cry.
I gasped and I felt the tears running down my face, "He killed Max," I accused, sorrow and anger mixed within me.
"Yes," he whispered. I removed my hands from Jace's and pulled myself to his neck. He moved so I was sitting in his lap and held me to his chest tightly. I felt him shudder beneath my arms and felt his face wet with tears on my shoulder. I moved my face so I was looking at him. He moved his right hand to brush hair from my face then he cupped my face. He tilted my face to his then pressed his lips to mine and kissed me gently, showing every feeling he was experiencing in that moment. Right then his warm lips working against mine as I kissed back. I pulled back after a little moment and looked into his eyes; our breathing was a little fast. I missed gazing into his eyes so much. I then moved my forehead to his and rested it there for a few moments looking into each other's eyes while his hand rubbed small circles on my back.
Then my phone rang. It was Alice. Fuck!
