Jace's P.O.V.

you could see the tears gathering in Isabelle's eyes as she read the message on the back of the post card. after Alec had found out about the heavenly fire in my veins he had packed up all his things and moved to the London institute. or at least that was what he let us think. three days later Magnus came around looking to apologize to Alec for overreacting. needless to say we gave him a stern talking to about braking Alec's heart.

"we regret to inform you that your son, Alec Lightwood has gone missing action after a demon hunt gone wrong last monday." Isabelle read out loud. Magnus would want to hear about this.

Clary leaned into my arm.

"we have to go to London. we have to help look for him!" Clary exclaimed. her and Alec had bonded over the fact that they both needed some one to lean on with me in the hospital.

we all nodded in reply.

After Three phone calls, One flight and more tears than i can count we had finally made it to London.

Maryse and Robert Lightwood, Alec and Isabelle's parents had been upset with the idea of their oldest child going M.I.A. but they had aloud Clary, Isabelle and I to go as long as we were under the supper vision of Magnus. they would join us later n the week after dealing with some official stuff.

As we walked off the plane all i could hear was weird ascents and screaming babies. looking around i caught sight of a a tall man with fiery red hair, long awkward limbs and dull green eyes. he was standing next to an average sized girl with short blond hair and pricing tray eyes that looked like they could reduce you to a pile of bubbling mush in seconds.

the man was holding a sign that said all our names. i nudged Clary and started walking towards them hoping the others would follow. from the sounds of the feet following me i guess they got the message. the man smiled at me as i got closer to them.

"are you the Americans here for Alex- I mean Alec?" he stuttered out. i raised an eye brow but answered all the same.

"yes. I'm Jace, that's Clary, Isabelle and Magnus. Maryse and Robert couldn't make it but they send their thanks." I replied as politely as i could. something about the way they were smiling at me made me think they were trying to hide something. I brushed it off as a british thing.

"ah, marvellous! every one will be so happy that you are here! Stella, will you cal ahead and get the kids to look presentable?" the fray eyed woman -Stella- nodded and with one last glare in Magnus's direction she walked away, pulling a cell phone out of her purse.

"don't worry about Stella, she's just a little protective about Alec. she's my oldest daughter. you will meet the other one when we get to the institute. my name is Reg Barrowman. I am the head of the London institute. if you will follow me." he led us to a long slick black car. tapping twice on the window the trunk popped open and the doors unlocked. Reg took our bags from us and opened the back doors.

the inside of the car was much like the inside; all black, neat, clean, a place we should never be aloud. with a loud bang the trunk locked and Reg slid in the passenger seat. he mumbled some things to the driver and the car roared to life.

with one look back at the crowds of people we drove off to find a lost friend.
