The slowly rusting bars of the cage rattled as it elevated up the shafts and to the second floor of the Institution. Clary pushed the sleeve of her olive green cardigan up her shoulder, it's gold buttons glittering in the dim lighting. As the door to the cage unhooked, a shadow darted up to Clary and shoved his arms under hers, twisting her down in a delicate embrace, his lips meeting hers. Suddenly the world losing purpose.
"J-jace," Clary breathed, her pupils contracting as she pulled away, nearly losing her awareness of why she had come here. Jace gave a lopsided smile, his golden eyes flickering like flames.
"Come for another, 'visit'?" He winked, cradling Clary like she was a doll.
She stifled a laugh, and looked at him lovingly with a sigh, "No, I'm here to see Isabelle." His fingers loosened and slid away, his eyes trapping hers and matching her weariness.
"What's wrong Clary." His voice grew angry. "I can see it in your eyes."
Clary twisted away with a single jerk, her scarlett hair falling over her face. "I need to talk to her, Jace." Her voice had become furious.
"B-" Jace was cut off as suddenly the cage rammed back into the shaft, the cage door flying off and skidding at their feet. A strange girl stepped out of the elevator cage, her lustrous long red hair spilling over her shoulders like a thick paint, her freckles like soft red spots of glitter and her opaque gold eyes brilliant in the light. She was tall and slender, her step graceful and her skin as white as powder.
"WHO are you!" Jace hissed, moving at her. Clary looked up, her cardigan sliding from her shoulders and pooling onto the primrose carpet underfoot.
Isabelle darted down the hallway, nearly tackling Clary in her haste. "You needed me?" She barked at Clary, her dark hair ripping free from it's bun. Her eyes widened considerabley once she spotted the strange girl, who remained eerily silent.
"M-my name is Ariana." She gazed at Clary serenely. "I am your daughter.."
Clary gaped, falling onto her knees. She had no words to express her awe. Instead, she craned her neck up to Isabelle. "So, what I was going to confront you about, Isabelle.." She jerked her shoulder towards the newcomer girl. "I.. I'm pregnant."
