Alex's pov

Alex was bored. He was waiting for a text from Magnus to tell him where to meet him for their weekly 'going out for lunch'. He was also scared of going out of his room to find one of the couples doing things he wouldn't and shouldn't think about. Izzy called it canoodling but Alex just called it plain annoying to always be the one without his partner there to canoodle with too.

Jace's pov

Jace awoke to the space behind him empty. He sat up and looked for Clary-maybe she was having breakfast? Quickly he ran to the kitchen-no clary. Bedroom-no clary. Library-no clary. And lastly every other corridor in the institute-no clary. Jace sighed. He knew Clary would never go back to her mums without saying goodbye. He shouted her name but with no response. Eventually Jace put his head in his hands. There was no denying it-Clary was gone

Izzy's pov

Izzy jumped up at the peculiar sound of Jace calling out for Clary. Oh I hope they haven't had one of their fights, Izzy thought. The last one was about green beans. She grabbed her jacket and raced to where the sound was coming from. She found Jace quickly. He had not brushed his hair and on other occasions she would have told him off for it but Izzy could see that something was wrong. Jace quickly explained to his sister about Clary's strange disappearance. Izzy ran into the living room where Jace told her Clary last was. At first Izzy saw nothing but an empty room but on a second glance, she saw some strange marks on the floor. Calling for Jace they knelt down and examined them. And their written in slashes were someone's desperate attempts to get away. There was blood speckled in between the cracks of the old rusty floor. But that was not what made Izzy screamed it was the three words that were marked among the floor.
