Will's POV:

"My name is Jace and I'm a shadow hunter. My friends are injured outside and I want to come in here. This is an institute, right?" The boy or Jace said. He was around my age I guess. I eyed him for a while hoping to remember if I ever I saw him in the clave meetings or so but gave up when I didn't remember.

"Come in. I'm going to call Charlotte for you." I said and he nodded his head, staring at me intensely. I turned around before he called me again.

"Hey, um..." He said slowly as I turned towards him.

"William. But call me Will for short. Will Herondale." I said as I eyed him. He looked taken back and was staring at me more intensely from before. I sighed and looked at him impatiently, making rude voices from my throat.

"I know I'm very handsome. Many have compared looking at me as if looking at the rays of the sun but I would really like it if you tell me why you called me back?" I said sharply, hoping he would tell me already.

"My friends are outside and I need help carrying them in here. Two of them are unconscious and one is injured badly." He said and I was sure I heard his voice shaking.

" I'll carry one, can you carry the other unconscious one? I'll tell the servant to carry the injured one." I said while walking past him. Looking outside to see the unconscious friends of his.

"It's alright, Simon is there to help the injured one."He was still staring at me so I glared back at him. It was getting a little annoying.

"Who's Simon?" I asked but he didn't answer. He was still staring at me. So I changed my question.

"Where?" He looked confused so I repeated it again and he seemed to understand me now.

"Over there behind that wall." He said walking ahead of me and I followed him.

"Simon is there with them while I came talking to you." He said with a pause and continued, "Are you 17?" He asked glancing towards me. I smirked at him, "yes I'm 17, not a full shadow hunter but will be soon enough. "

"How many people are in the institute? And are you an actual Herondale?" He said the last question more to himself then me.

" There's about 6 people and 3 servants" I answered, ignoring the second question. That was stupid. Of course I was a Herondale.

He stopped walking and turned towards me.

" Are you a Herondale? " he questioned seriously.

"Yes I'm Herondale. I know you must have heard that the Herondale kid is a bastard or he is better off killed. Especially if you have met the Lightwoods then you should know that they completely love me." I said sarcastically and he looked confused. I raised my eyebrow and opened my mouth to question him but shut it. Charlotte was going to have a mountain of questions for him anyways. Better leave the poor boy for now.

"Ah, so your friends are here." I said as we reached by two guys who had black hair. One had shadow hunter gears on while the other wore a weird looking shirt and pant. I was staring at the weird one when I realized why I was having the urge to kill him. He was a vampire. I took out my blade right away and saw the vampire back away from me.

"Hey stop! He's a friend. Stop." Jace yelled to me and I lowered my blade a little and stared at Jace to give me an explanation fast.

"He is a vampire but he isn't harmful." Jace said while looking back and forth between me and the vampire.

"Do I hear you? Vampires aren't harmful? " I laughed loudly and saw the other black hair guy standing now. What was more interesting was he had the same sort of eyes like mine.

"He's a vampire but he isn't attacking you, is he? And please trust us on this or else why do you think mom isn't going nuts on Isabelle dating Simon." The black hair shadow hunter muttered the last part.

" She is going crazy " Simon, who I guess is the vampire's name, and Jace said together. I raised my eyebrow then held out a hand before the black hair shadow hunter could tell me anything.

"Come in the institute and you will be asked many questions anyway." I said and looked at the ground where a black hair girl and red hair was lying. Both were wearing shadow hunter gears. I bent down and picked up the black hair girl. Wrapping her hands across my neck and putting one hand under her knee. She was tall and beautiful. I looked and saw the rest staring at me.

" What?" I questioned and saw the black hair shadow hunter glaring at me along with the Vampire.

"No, nothing." Jace said with a sideway grin, as he bent down to pick up the red hair girl, and I figured out that the girl sure was short.

Behind me I saw the vampire gave his shoulder to the shadow hunter boy as he leaned on it. I looked down at the black hair shadow hunter and saw his ankle was bleeding. Quietly we walked to the institute and heard the three of them whisperings among them. I looked down at the girl and saw she was opening her eyes and saw her flutter it for a while before she spoke.

"Alex?" She said weekly and I shook my head.

"No. Not Alex. Will, I'm Will." I said eyeing her. She was giving me weird looks.

"You can put me down, Romeo." She muttered at last. I did what she told me but instead of letting her on her feet, I dropped her on butt.

"What was that for?" She groaned as she got on her feet.

"You don't go ordering me around." I replied satisfyingly when I saw her frown. She looked around noticing the three behind her. She turned to look at me then walked away mumbling something like a handsome jerk.

When we reached the doors of the institute, I reached out to open it but it swung open itself with Tessa standing on the other side. She looked like as if she was about to say something when she saw them behind me.
