You guys are so awsome for giving me five reviews in one day so I am putting up another chapter to thank you. I am trying out a few different POVs before it goes back to Clary's POV in this chapter.

Chapter 3 - Old Friends, New Places

Simon POV

This is it, we're on our way to Forks. It was a few days after New Years and Isabelle, Clary, Alec, Jace and I were all on a plane on our way to Forks Washington. I still remember the night Isabelle told me she was leaving. She was so sad until I suggested moving with her. I looked at her now. Her head was lightly resting on my shoulder but I didn't mind. She looked so peaceful there sleeping beside me but then there was Clary. She's my best friend and I love Isabelle but there was still part of me that loves Clary as well. Maybe that's why I came because I still care for her and even though I had accepted the fact that she would never love me the way I love her I could at least try to stop the same thing from happening with her and Jace. She deserves to be happy even if it was with him so I will help her no matter how much it hurts me.

I turned to look across the row of airplane seats to talk to Clary. She was doodling in her sketchbook as usual. "What are you drawing?"

She looked up. "Just some runes that popped into my head."

I nodded and looked out the window knowing that probably wasn't what she was drawing but I decided it was best not to pry. "I wonder what it's like in Forks." I asked instead.

"According to Luke it's very wet since it rains like 99% of the year."

"Well that sounds cheery." I said sarcastically.

"Aw come on it won't be that bad and you did volunteer to come. Do you want me telling Isabelle you want to stay in New York because of a little rain?" She had a teasing grin on her face so I know she wouldn't follow through with that threat besides I didn't mind the rain one bit.

I smiled back at her and she went back to her drawings. It wouldn't be to long before we landed so I decided to get some sleep as I rested my head gently on Isabelle's.

---------------------------------------------------

Edward POV

"Alice, do you have any idea why there is a new building at the edge of the forest?"

She stopped what she was doing for a second and concentrated on the future. I could see from her mind that the house would soon be inhabited by Shadowhunters. Good they would take over the demon killing. "Thank you Alice."

"Your welcome." she replied before she went back to pestering Bella over the state of her wardrobe. I could hear her silently pleading to me to make Alice stop but I found it far to amusing to get between them just yet. She saw me smile at her torment and threatened to trash my car if I didn't stop Alice soon but I knew she wouldn't go through with it. I'll do it Edward I really will. No you won't I mouthed back. She pictured lifting the Volvo over her head and throwing it over a cliff. "Fine." I caved. "Alice why don't you go shopping with Nessie, I know she's been dying to get some new clothes and she loves going shopping with you."

"Okay I know a great store that just opened in " She danced away to find my daughter finally leaving me and Bells alone. Then she turned back, "Don't worry Bella, we'll fix your wardrobe after I come back from shopping."

Bella groaned and I chuckled pulling her close to me. "Don't worry love I'll be sure to give you two lots of time with your clothes."

She looked at me in shock. "Don't forget about your car." She teased.

"Okay okay I won't remind her but if she remembers on her own it's not my fault."

"Good, now that we have that settled what is this I hear about a new house at the edge of the forest?"

"Nothing much, just a new Shadowhunter Institute."

"I wonder what it will be like having Shadowhunters living here. We should go by and welcome them."

"I swear you are getting more like Esme every day far to welcoming but I guess it's a good idea. We don't want them coming after us thinking we're evil vampires after all. Alice saw that they would be arriving today so how about we go later to give them a chance to settle in first."

"Okay so we'll go then. Hmm"

"What?"

"Oh I was just wondering if these Shadowhunters are the same ones that we met in New York."

"I don't know Alice didn't see their faces."

"Well I guess we'll just have to wait and see."

---------------------------------------------------

Clary POV

The Institute was huge! Possibly bigger than the one in New York but that could just be because less people were living in this one. It was also much more modern looking. There were plenty of rooms to choose from but somehow Isabelle managed to find the only two with their own bathrooms for me and her and for that I was grateful.

It didn't take long for us to settle into our new home, my room was already covered in drawings and some of my old decorations and my mom called a few hours after we arrived to see how we were doing but to be honest I was bored. I suppose I could have gone out to check out the town but I didn't want to go alone so I went to see if Isabelle wanted to come with me.

Big mistake. I opened her door a crack to see her making out with Simon on her bed. Now that was one image I could have lived my whole life without seeing. I know I don't love Simon that way but watching my best guy friend make out with my best girl friend was not high up on my list. Luckily the doorbell rang just then. "I'll get it." I yelled happy to get away from the scene on the other side of Isabelle's door.

I took my time walking down the stairs and then opened the door.

"Clary!"

"Alice!"

"So you're the new Shadowhunter."

"Um yeah, why are you here?"

"We live here."

"We?" I opened the door wider and saw a whole clan of vampires standing in the doorway. She must have seen the shock in my eyes because she quickly explained.

"Don't worry, we're good vampires I promise. We have lived here on and off for the past few decades and we just came by to welcome you to Forks. Are you the only Shadowhunter here or are there more?"

I nodded slowly still sort of shocked and called everyone down.

"Hey Fray, what's up?" Simon was the first down the stairs followed by a slightly flushed Isabelle, Alec and Jace.

"Izzy, Jace do you remember those vampires we met in New York when Izzy was trying to find me a dress?"

"You mean that girl she was trying to get the green dress from, yeah I remember. What about them?" Jace replied.

"Well it turns out that they live here." I stepped aside to let them see the vampires behind me.

Now it was their turn to look shocked. Simon recovered first probably because he was a vampire himself and invited them in. "You aren't normal vampires." he stated.

"Normal no but at least we don't drink human blood." Edward replied.

I saw Simon flinch and I guess Alice did to because she stepped in and introduced everyone.

"Clary, Isabelle, Jace you already know me, Bella and Edward. This is our sister Rosalie." She gestured to the tall blonde. "and her husband Emmet." She gestured to the big one with the baseball cap. "These are our parents Esme and Carlisle." she stepped aside to let us see a brown haired woman beside a gorgeous blonde man who I'm assuming was her husband. "This is Edward and Bella's daughter Renesme." She pointed to a petit girl with curly bronze hair. "And finally this is my husband Jasper." She gestured to the blonde haired man beside her.

"Nice to meet you all." I said. "This is my friend Isabelle, her brother Alec and my brother Jace." I saw Edward's look of surprise and silently promised to ask him about that later. "This." I gestured to Simon. "Is my best friend Simon. As you already know he is also a vampire and the only one of us that isn't a Shadowhunter."

They all came into our living room and started talking. Alice, Renesme and Isabelle started up a conversation about clothes, Jace was questioning Bella on how she has a teenage child already, Alec was having a nice conversation with Esme and Carlise, Simon was talking to Emmet and Rosalie about something that I couldn't hear and Edward was making his way over to me thought I didn't know why he wanted to talk to me.

"To tell you why I was surprised when you introduced Jace as your brother." he answered my unspoken thought and caught me by surprise.

"How did you know?"

"I can read minds."

"Okay." I said slowly. "Can all of you do that?"

"No just me but Alice can see the future, Jasper can control emotions, Bella has a sort of shield ability that doesn't allow me to read her mind and my daughter Nessie can project her thoughts for others to see through touch."

"Wow and I thought Jace and I were special having extra angel blood in us and all."

"Which brings us right back to your introduction. Jace isn't your brother is he?" Edward asked gently clearly not trying to make me feel bad or anything.

"No he's not." I said softly.

"But he thinks he is right?"

"Yes and please don't tell him. Does anyone else in your family know?"

"Alice, Bella and Nessie but they won't tell I promise you that."

I relaxed. "Thanks." I could tell he was curious as to why I hadn't told Jace but thankfully he didn't pry. "So are there any other nice downworlders we should not kill?"

My question seemed to amuse him but he answered it anyway. "Just the werewolf clan down on La Push but I would hardly call them downworlders. They aren't real werewolves and the reason I was laughing at your question is because a few years ago I would have been happy to let you kill them."

"Oh?" I said not surprised that he had read my mind again.

"Well their leader Jacob Black used to have a thing for Bella but since he started going out with Nessie I've gotten used to having him around. That's the short story."

"Okay, I get it, I have some werewolf friends myself. Actually my step dad is a werewolf. Do you know anything about the demon activity around here?"

"There aren't many but there used to be none. We've been taking care of the problem before anyone could find them but it's good that you're here to help."

"None at all? That's strange that they would suddenly show up now."

"Not really, there has been a lot more downworlder activity as you call it around here recently so that's probably what drew them here."

"I see well then they shouldn't be to much of a problem."

The Cullens stayed at the Institute for a while as we told each other about our lives. Alice told everyone else about their special abilities and Jace told them about ours. I had a feeling that we would all become good friends and I planned for us to go down to la Push beach to meet Jacob Black and the other werewolves the next day.

So they have finally met the Cullens well officially at least and they will soon meet the werewolves. Since I got five reviews so fast last time I would like ten reviews before the next chapter this time please but I will post at least one more chapter before school starts if I don't get ten reviews by then. Don't use that as an excuse not to review though becasue the more reviews I get the better the chapter is likely to be.
