Chapter 4: The London institute

"I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was. Likewise, I never imagined that home might be something I would miss."

― Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

I collapse on the ground happy to know the boy was alright.

"Are you alright?" Asked the blond.

I look up into his hazel eyes that were actually filled with concern for me "I'm fine you should worry about your friend!"

"He's okay. I'm Matthew Fairchild!" He said helping me into a sitting position. I took off my hat and my hair that was tied into a bun came undone. My wet hair came cascading down to my waist.

"I'm Ella Rose Landon!"

"You're a girl!" Matthew said in surprise.

"Yes, and he thought it wouldn't fool anybody but It sure fooled you!" I say with a grin and he looked up and down at me then blushed.

"Sorry!"

"It's ok I was trying to make people think I was a guy so strange men would bother me!"

He chuckled "I have to say we are pretty strange men but I guess. But we don't fall into that definition!"

"No you don't. But what was that mutt?" I asked Matthew, wondering what had happen to that bloody mutt.

"That was a hellhound a demon and I killed it!" he explained to me.

"Your friend has one of those spikes in him from the hellhound!" I said and his face drained out of all color.

"I need to get him back to the institute. Miss. Landon you need to come with me there so we can treat you injuries." I look at myself to see a deep gash on the back of my thigh and now the pain starts to rejecter in my mind. I nodded at him and I got up to quickly. So I bit my bottom lip and let out a muffled yelp.

"Are you alright?" I just nodded and this time I slowly stood up.

"I know you're injured but could you help me get Jamie there!"

"Sure!" I said and we both put one of his arms over our shoulders. Matthew led us through the streets of London while keeping a nice and easy conversation.

We turn on a street and start heading toward a grand church and I blink again to see that the grand church disappear. In its place was a field I turn to look at Matthew. He had a small grin on his face "You're not use to seeing glamorous yet are you!" I just nodded no but something at the back of my mind nagged at me telling me that I've seen through glamorous before. But why do I get the feeling that this is so familiar.

When we reach the gate Matthew opens the gate and we walk into the courtyard. As we got closer to the institute I could see the beautiful architecture of the building. Strangle I though this is home then a spasm of pain went through my head. The world started to spin, black dots started to cloud my vision, suddenly my feet gave out from under me. The last thing I heard was Matthew telling me to hold on, and everything started to go black.

I was in lost the world of memories of what had happen that night, it felt as if I was in the Thames but this time just drifting. Sadly for me my mind didn't let me have a dreamless sleep like I had hoped for. I had dreamed about how I left the party to escape a warlock, running all the way to London, fooling the drunk, running for my life from a Hellhound then being saved by two young men, and that I had jumped into the Thames to save that boy.

I heard a voice that broke through the dream "Please wake up Miss. Landon!" said a very worried voice. I had to wake up slowly my eyes open and I was staring at Matthew. He had a small grin on his face "You were unconscious for two days, how are you feeling?" This explained the worried voice he had earlier but shouldn't he be looking after his friend?

"I'm sore and my heads pounding but other than that I'm fine." I replied and then I noticed I was no longer in my shirt and trousers, but wearing a long silk white night gown with ruffles on the sleeve and the hem of my dress. My hair wasn't wet or dirty but was freshly washed and clean, my haired was tied up into a bun. At least this was a bit comfortable and familiar. Who would have thought the day would come for me to find comfort in clothes.

I try to get up from the bed but the painful feeling shot through feet and I winced in pain. But I was intent to see where I was so I used my elbows and propped myself up into a sitting position.

I was in a large bed that could at least hold about three people comfortably. The over my head was a large canopy which veiled my vision from the ceiling. I looked across the room to see a fire roaring in the grate. This made the room little less gloomy then it already was. There also was a nice stool like table in front of the grate with two wooden chairs tucked under it. The room also had a cozy looking arm-chair against the left wall under a clock. In the far left corner of the room was a screen and if I looked carefully enough I could see part of something that looked like a bathtub sticking out.

After looking around the room I looked back at Matthew only to notice a woman standing behind him. She looked like she was in her twenty's, She had pale brown hair that was did in a interact brade, Pale skin; she was skinny built and tall woman, with stormy gray-blue eyes, and a slightly sharp nose. With that combination of features she looked regal and pretty.

She coughs a little startling Matthew out of his seat next to my bed "Sorry Aunt Tessa I just came in to check on her that's all. I'll leave now!" he got up heading towards the door but before he left the room, he turned around to face me "Hopefully I see you at dinner Miss. Landon!" And with that I was left in the room alone with the woman. I had to admit she was a little intimating and the feeling was increasing since Matthew left the room.

"Hello I'm Tessa Herondale. Please call me Tessa!" the woman introduced herself.

"I'm Ella Rose Landon and If I will call you Tessa you may call me Ella." I introduced.

"So can you tell me what happen to you Ella?" She asked.

"Well first I was at a party running away from a warlock. With instructions from my friend Mason to go to the London institute and stay there. He had given me a letter to give to you but I guess it's too wet to read now. Anyway I ran from the party to London," I paused and breathe in "I followed his directions until the mutt from hell starred chasing me or what Mr. Fairchild calls it a hellhound. I had run onto the street where the Thames was and ran until I tripped twice. I thought I was going to die until this boy with black hair whose name I do not know started fighting the hellhound. While Mr. Fairchild helped me up and told me to run, I did as he had told me but stopped at the bridge and turned around to see them both fighting the blood beast. I couldn't run away while they were ricking their live to help me get away. Then the hellhound nocked the boy with black hair into the Thames and I jumped in there after him. I saved him then Mr. Fairchild returned after he fought the hellhound. He told me to come with him so I could get my injuries treated. I know we had got here but after that I remember blacking out!" I say quietly finishing my story to feel tears were coming down my face.

Dam it I'm crying in front of a stranger I rub my eye quickly trying to stop them but they wouldn't stop. Soon Tessa arms were around me rubbing my back saying something confuting words like a mother would do. I calmed with no more tears to cry and Tessa let go I look at her. "I don't cry much don't worry it doesn't mean anything!" I say more to myself then to Tessa. I guess all my emotion from what had happened had finally sunken in. What in the bloody hell is going on. Tessa just nodded. it looked like she understood what I went through.

"What is going on exactly I mean do warlock and demons exist?" I wanted to ask so many questions. But I stopped myself from doing so and waited for to answer the questions I had first asked.

"Well the world we live in the shadow world which have Shadowhunters, downworlders, and Demons. Shadowhunters are Nephilim a race of people that are stronger and swifter then humans. You see they are half They are people who can use magic called a glamorous that conceal them from the mundane eyes." She explained.

"What are mundane?" I inquired.

"Mundane are normal humans that can't see the shadow world," she took a deep breath and spoke again "Shadowhunter's are skilled at killing demons."

"Demons, You mean like devils?" I said trying to wrap my mind around the knowledge but a part my mind screamed at my mind telling me this is the truth. It would explain how Matthew fought the hellhound.

"Demons are malevolent beings that travel inter-dimensionally between worlds, the go world to world destroying anything in their path," she looked at me in the eye and started to explain again "It is the shadowhuners job to protect people from demons and other super natural dangers. When there are crimes that affect the shadow world like mundane being killed by supernatural being. That is breaking one of the Covent laws. In fact all shadow hunters are bound by the law to in quire even if a rumor of the Covent law is said to being broken." She told me.

"What are downworlderS?" I asked.

" Downworlders are supernatural beings that are half humans and half demons. They inhabit the shadow world. Even though they are part demon they have a soul unlike demons who have no souls. There are the night children who are vampire, the children of the moon who are werewolves, the children of lithe are warlocks, and the fair folk who are fairies. They are all downworlds." Then I heard a knock on the door and the door open to reveal a woman who was wearing a black dress with a white apron and cap. She had black hair and sea green eyes she was beautiful.

"Oh Erika could you brush that blue dress I had you prepare for Ella so she can come down for dinner. Ella this Erika our maid." she said bluntly. Erika didn't seem to mind to be called a maid. She gave me a small curtsey and said "Miss." And went to the dresser to do what Tessa had asked her. "dinner?"

"Yes, Dinner! It is almost time for dinner there you can meet the others."

"So what am I?" I asked Tessa

"You are nephilim. A shadow hunter." She answered. It took me time to process what she said and when I understood, the shock hit me like a train going at full speed.

"T..That can't be true both of my parents are mundane like me that can't be possible!" I didn't realize I was screaming until Erika dropped the brush she had been using to clean the dress. "Give me your hand please?" I looked at her quizzically the reluctantly gave her my hands. She looked at them and the pointed at my left where strange black eyes mark with a swirl in the middle.

I gasped "What is this?"

"It is a rune it is one of the marks shadow hunter put on them with enough training and only shadowhunter's can put on them. If put on anybody who doesn't have angel blood it turns mundane into Forsaken because are former mundane that have gone insane from the power of the rune. For downworlders it ether as no effect or it kills them. So you are a shadowhunter!"

"oh!" I say it makes sense but this is just too overwhelming I don't think I could take any more information about them. I just couldn't wrap my mind round it, let alone except it. But there is one thing I was sure of is that Mason said this was the only safe place for me. So If Mason trusted them then I could at least try to trust them too.

"Where are the clothes that I was wearing there is something in there I must give the head of the institute!" I said

Tessa got up and went to the arm chair and got them and hand it to me. The clothes were folded up nicely and were no longer wet like they were after I jumped into the Thames. But they were wrinkled and the smelled like river water and blood. I got the trousers and put my hand in the front pocket. I took the letter out of the pocket and Tessa took the clothes and put them on the armchair.

"Well Ella I am one of the heads to the institute so you can give the letter to me!" I look at her reated in surprise and Tessa just chuckled.

"Well I guess it's alright. It is addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Herondale." I hand her the letter and she takes it from my hand gently.

"Well I'll let Erika help you get dressed for dinner. I'll wait outside in the hallway so I can lead you to the dining hall." Then she got up from her seat and went out the door. Now I was left in the room with their maid Erika.

I hoped you liked it!
