Big thanks to VampGirl4ever for keeping me busy writing xD she means it well (Slavepisker!)
I know that there's spelling mistakes and I'm sorry for that. English is not my native language. Danish is. And yes I come from Denmark ;)… I'm gonna do my best, I promise. I'm also sorry for the short chapther last time… I'll try to make them longer. And for those who misses some action: I think that there'll happen something soon. I can't say for sure. But let's get the story going.
And I'm so sorry for letting you guys waiting so long… Had a lot to do and I forgot it *Blushes*

Chapter 2: Arrived and Ready.Bella POV
A thing I should have learned after spending most of my time around vampires: It's impossible to make them spill a secret that they've kept from you for days.
The night after Alice had that weird vision I tried to make Edward talk when we were alone in his car but he refused to say anything. He didn't even stay that night.
The next few days passed awfully slowly and monotone. The same over and over. Edward picking me up in the morning, being unusually quiet through the day, driving me home, staying for a bit, leaving and then first returning in the morning. I started to get a little worried. What could so bad that made Edward act that way? Was Victoria coming to kill me? The Volturi? Was there a war on the rise between the Cullens and the wolves? Nothing seemed to fit. If it had been the wolves then Alice wouldn't have been enable to see it at all. And Victoria and the Volturi were vampires so she should have seen them. But Alice said that it had been blurry. Then what could it have been? And if she did see something what was it?
Edward drove me home from school as usual but as he turned to park in front of Charlie's house I reached over and took the keys before he could.
"We have to talk" I simply stated.
"About what?" He asked while starring out of the window.
"About you being so… so distant. And Alice's disappearing. What's going on? You have to tell me. I have a right to know..." I was getting more and more mad. It didn't seem like anybody wanted to tell me. Nobody.
"Alice was just freaked out because she couldn't see the vision completely. We don't know exactly what's going on but you don't have to worry." I knew that he was just trying to keep me out of it so that I couldn't do anything reckless. Why did he always have to be so protective of me?
"If you don't know what's going on you can't tell me not to worry."
"Bella just please trust me on this on okay? Will you try to be careful? For me?" He cupped my face between his hands while he spoke making sure that I paid attention.
"Sure" was all I said.
Jace POV
Having to wait is terrible. Our plane to Forks was going to take off in a few hours and I was all packed and ready. So all I could do was waiting. Alec had told me that Jocelyn and Luke had received a letter from Clary earlier today and that there was a note for me in it but I hadn't had a chance to get it. I properly wouldn't get it before we left and there could go days, weeks or even months before I could get it then. All I really wanted was to stay here and wait for Clary to come home but Maryse had made it clear that I had to go. I got up from the bed and walked out in the hall to make my way to the training room. An hour or so of training would do good to keep Clary out of my mind. When I walked in to the training room I saw that luckily I was alone. I didn't want to run into anyone because waiting made me irritable and I didn't want to let it out on others.
I took all the frustration I had inside me and used it against the boxing pillow (?) till it fell down and nearly landed on me with a big thud.
"Jace what in the name of the Angel are you doing?" Alec came running in then.
"I'm redecorating the room. What does it look like?"
"Geez… Well Maryse says we have to go get ready so you better get your stuff. We're leaving in 15 minutes." And with that he was gone.
Back inside my room I gathered my bags and making sure that I had packed everything when I heard a knock on the door. And to my surprise it was Jocelyn.
"Am I interrupting anything?" She asked.
"Um… No not really." It felt really weird standing here with Jocelyn. What should I say? It felt awkward standing here with the woman who had lied to Clary all the time. Keeping the secret about whom and what Clary really was. A Shadowhunter, a Nephilim. "I was just finishing off."
"Oh good… Luke and I received a letter from Clary late last night and with it was a note for you. We decided that it would be best if we gave it to you before you three left so um… Here and have a nice trip." She gave me the letter and took off to the elevator.
When she was out of sight I took a look at the note. It was a piece of paper folded twice, with the name Jace written in Clary's handwriting.
I was about to open it when Maryse called and said it was time to leave. Quickly I placed the note in the pocket of one of the bags and took all the bags out in the hallway…
In a few hours I would be in Forks…
Bella POV
Morning again. The only difference was that it was sunny outside and there was a note on my table. I went over and took it.
'Dear love.
Alice says it's going to be sunny all day so we won't be there in school but I'll be waiting in your room when you get home. I just need to make sure that you'll be careful. It's sunny and that might mean that the creatures are coming today so you need to be aware of anyone new. We don't know what they are or what they are here for but as long as you are careful you'll be fine.
I love you, Edward'
I sighed. He'll do anything to keep me safe. No matter what. Overprotective fool.
I stood up and made my way to the kitchen but pausing at the end of the stairs. There was someone in the kitchen. Was Charlie still home?
"Dad?" I called.
"Um yes Bells?" he sounded like he had his mouth full of food.
"Why are you still home?" I said while walking into the kitchen.
I saw that Charlie wasn't alone as I first thought. Billy was there. Jacob's father. I haven't seen or heard anything from Jacob ever since I came back from Italy. It felt like he hated me.
"Hey Bella. How are you?" Billy asked with eyes that was accusing me silently.
"I'm fine, thank you." My voice was a little colder than necessary with Charlie in the room, though he didn't seem to notice.
"I'm going fishing with Billy all day so I won't be home for dinner. Is that okay with you?"
"Sure. Have fun" I said a little distant. My mind was racing ahead. Would there be any of the creatures today? Or would they come another day? Would Charlie be okay?
"Right, ehh… I'll see you later" Charlie said before walking out with Billy right on his heals.
Looking at what time it was I went out of the door neither wanting to be alone nor being late for school.
When I pulled into the parking lot I noticed a new car. And trust me. It wasn't hard not to notice. A brand new Ferrari. I couldn't tell what kind it was.
Angela and Ben was standing beside the car together was half the school. I didn't notice anyone new in the crowd so the owner must have gone to class.
"Hey Angela. Do you know who's car it is?" I asked her when I walked up to her.
"No one knows! But look at the car! Brand new 458 Italia!" Ben was really going at it. Telling about how many horse powers it had, the engineer work and so on.
"The new guy is probably rich since he could effort a car like this" someone said.
"Like the Cullens" another replied.
"I heard he's from New York."
"New York? Seriously? Why move here then?"
The whole day went slow after that. At lunch everyone was talking about the new guy. He wasn't there and no one had talked to him. Girls were ecstatic, the guys impressed. But still. He had avoided contact with people and there wasn't anyone who could tell where he was.
The bell rang to the final class so I hurried to biology. I just wanted the day over so that I could see Edward again. Then our teacher, Mr. Banner, walked in shortly followed by a guy with golden hair, lightly tanned skin and golden eyes. He was wearing black jeans and a white t-shirt that fit him great. Not too tight but tight enough so that you could see his muscles. Out of the corner of my eye I saw that a few of the girls looking at him as if they were mentally undressing him.
"All right everyone we have a new student here at the school. So if he would just represent himself…" Banner trailed off and motioned for the guy to start.
"Hi, my name is Jace Lightwood…"
Okay that was it…
Review if you have something to say…
