A/N: Ok, so I know that I haven't updated in a while, but with the holidays and everything I just haven't had chance. Thank you to those people that have reviewed.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Mortal Instruments characters or the basic plot; they all belong to the wonderful Cassandra Clare.

The silence on the way home didn't last for long, as Isabelle knew it wouldn't. They had just turned along the street of the institute, having just gotten off the subway. It was a warm night, but the rain that had been pelting down earlier was starting up again, totally wrecking her hair.

"So what do you think she was?" asked Jace "I mean she could see us and everything, and she seemed more than just your average Mundie"

Isabelle frowned. Why was Jace so bothered about that girl? She had almost made him get killed, and Jace never took an interest in anyone, especially not Mundanes.

"I don't know Jace" said Alec "But I've got a feeling that she's bad news, I think we should stay away from her".

"Yeah" Jace protested "But aren't you even a little bit curious at what she is, how she can see us?"

"No" said Alec "We will go and tell Hodge everything that has happened, and let the Cleve deal with it from there, it's not our problem Jace."

"But…" Jace began.

"Do you want to go get food from Taki's?" Isabelle interrupted him. Best stop him there before he got anymore ideas about the Mundie and do something stupid. Plus, she was quit hungry.

"Fine" said Jace irritably, and they crossed the road and headed towards the little restaurant.

The moment they walked in, Kaelie, the sluttish waitress immediately slunk over

And began edging towards Jace, looking at him the whole time.

Ugh. Isabelle thought as Jace smirked at her. Arrogant ass. Sure he may be hot, and even she would admit that, he didn't have to be so cocky about it. By the angel, that waitress was one of the biggest sluts on the planet, and she was totally obvious.

Alec was tensing up beside her too. Isabelle shot him a worried glance. He knew these girls meant nothing to Jace, even though it did get extremely annoying most of the time.

"Hey! Can you please take our order!" She said impatiently.

Kaelie turned to glare at her but did as asked. Five minutes later they were hading out of the restaurant and back to the institute.

Isabelle lay on her bed one hour later and thought over the previous events. She was worried about Jace. Sure he may be annoying, but he was still her brother. He has never got like this over anyone. She had been concerned before, but his conversation with Hodge had just made everything even worse. He was kind of different all of a sudden.

Flashback

"There was something different about her" Jace said to Hodge "Something new, I don't know what but she's, like kind of special"

Isabelle rolled her eyes.

"I wouldn't go as far to say she was special Jace, intriguing? Yes, special? Not quite".

Jace turned to glare at her. He seemed weirdly defensive over this Mundie girl. All the time when they were telling Hodge what had happened he had been really enthusiastic, not uttering a bad word about her, and they had all noticed. This did not put Alec in a very happy mood.

"We don't know anything about her Isabelle; she might be one of us! It would make sense"

"One of us!" Alec scoffed "I highly doubt that, I mean she was just a Mundie girl, she didn't know anything about us"

"She might have been born without the sight, it happens. Maybe it's just come back to her, she can finally see us"

"It's not possible" Isabelle said; though in her mind she could sort of see that it might be. It was just that girl, one of them. She felt the unfamiliar jealousy curl in her stomach for the second time tonight.

"Of course it's not!" Alec snapped "If she was one of us then what family does she belong to? How did she end up growing up on the mundane world? None of it makes

Sense"

"No" Hodge said quietly "But Jace id right, we do need to find out more about her"

"So let the Clave handle it, it is there job after all!" Alec retorted.

"We can't" said Jace "Doing that would put her in danger"

"What do you care?" Alec retorted

"Ahem!" Hodge interrupted "Lets all just calm down. Now this girl, what is her name?"

That made them all stop. After everything that had happened, they realized that they didn't even know her name, but she knew all of theirs, that couldn't be good.

"I take it you don't know" Hodge sighed "But Jace is right, we cant let the Clave handle it straight away, its too dangerous"

"So let me go" Jace said. "I will be able to track her down, I can bring her back here"

"I don't know Jace, she might be dangerous" Hodge said

Isabelle laughed at that, so did Jace.

"I don't think so Hodge" she said "She certainly didn't look it"

"Appearances can be deceiving" Hodge replied "You three of all people should know that"

"Look" said Jace impatiently "Let me go and find her, I can take care of my self, and it's our only option really"

Hodge sighed and was quiet for a minute.

"Okay, you can go, but be careful, and take precautions"

"Yeah, yeah" Jace said rolling his eyes "Lets all be scared of the short red head" With a laugh he walked out of the room.

"What!" Alec cried "You can't let him do this"

"Calm down" Hodge said quietly "Let's just see how this pans out"

End of Flashback

Isabelle closed her eyes. She wasn't entirely sure it was a good idea to let things pan out. Jace was defiantly different sense they has met the girl. However, although the change was worrying, Isabelle was beginning to wonder if it was for the better.

Shaking her head, she rolled over and waited for sleep to come over her.

A/N: So that's chapter three done. Please review and tell me what you think. I will try to update quicker this time, and again sorry for any grammar issues.

Thanks
