Emma touched my arm gently. "Clary what's wrong. Is there something outside?" I couldn't respond to her though for I was frozen stiff with surprise and shock. All I was thinking over and over again was; 'Oh my God! What are they doing here? How did they find me? They shouldn't be here!' After what seemed like forever, Lily gently pushed me back and stepped into the doorway. If she was surprised to see the group standing there she hid it pretty well.
She straighted her posture and spoke in a stern grown-up voice. "State your name, ages, what you are, and what you are doing here." She gave all of them an icy glare.
The group shiffed itself, glancing at each other until a girl with long black hair and almond shaped eyes cleared her throat. 'Izzy' I thought. "My name is Isabelle Lightwood, 17, Shadowhunter. This is Alec my brother, 18, Shadowhunter, and his boyfriend Magnus Bane, ageless, Warlock. Next to Magnus is Simon Lewis, should be 17, my boyfriend, and vampire. Lastly, Jace Lightwood, my adopted brother, 17, and Shadowhunter. We are here for one, and only one thing. Clary Fray, to find her and have her come back to us. And I do believe we have found her, so if you please..." Isabelle smiled at Lily.
Lily looked at Emma and Emma looked at me. I, finally out of shock, sighed and rolled my eyes. "Let them in, and bring them to the kitchen. I'll meet you there. With that I left and walked quickly to our kitchen. Once I got there I sat in one of the chairs, and with hands clenched infront of me, I watched the door wating for what would probably be the second worse day of my life.
After a few short moments the doors opened revieling Lily and Emma leading the group with Andrew and Cole following quietly behind. I exchanged a look with Andrew and then looked at them. "Welcome to the Maine Institute." I say dryly. No one says anything for a second, the twins watching me carefully, and the new group glazing at me like I was about to disappear when Isabelle suddenly shouts my name and runs forwards to give me, what I guess, would be a huge tight bear hug.
"No." I say sharply. "Do not hug me." That stopped her short and she looks at me with a very hurt expression, which I ignored. I wasn't going to let myself get sucked into her again. I glanced at all of them except for HIM taking them in. They looked tired as though they had been traveling for a long time, but they all looked, except now for Izzy, who still looked at me with hurt, excitement or happiness.
He takes a step towards me. "Clary..." I turn sharply at him and give him a look of pure hate. "Don't even think about talking to me!" I hiss with so much hatered, that Jace looked very uneased. I suddenly felt a tug on my sleeve and I looked down to see Cole staring at me with fright.
"What's going on Clary. I've never seen you act like this. It's scary. I don't like it!" I kneel down and smile softly at him. "I'm sorry Cole. I didn't mean to frighten you. You didn't do anything, I'm just not in a good mood right now." "That's an understatement" I hear Simon say, but I decide to ignore him. I pull Cole into a hug and held him close. He hugs me back and buries his head into my neck. After a few moments of soothing him I pull away. "Why don't you take Andrew to the training room and show him the new moves you learned." I whispered in his ear. He nods and takes Andrews' hand, "Come on Andrew, I want to show you something!" Andrew shoots me a look, but I just shake my head and turn away to the stove.
I lit the flame under the stove and put the tea kettle over it. Lately I have realised tea has calmed my nerves, I think Lily and Emma did that to me though. Anyway that's not the topic.
Staring at the flame, I say in a low voice, "I wish of you guys to leave now."
"But Clary..." Jace starts.
I glare at him. "I told you not to speak to me, you never listen do you." I was going to say more, but Alec got there before me. "Now Clary, if you just listen to us..." I wasn't having it though. "No, you listen to me. I didn't ask for you guys to come here, in fact I never ever wanted you to come here. I never wanted to see you guys ever again. Yes even you Simon. My life here is perfect. I just love it here. So before you ruin it like you ruin everything just go!" At the end of my speech I turn around to find Izzy crying, Simon, Alec, and him looking at me with shock, and Magnus looking angry.
Magnus opens his mouth, but Lily inturrupted him. "I believe she asked you to leave. Now go before you get kicked out of Maine, we can do that, and we are not afraid to do it." She glares at the with ice cold green eyes. Just like her brother I thought. Okay random. I focus my thoughts back on the group. "Leave now, and don't come back." I also glared, one to make my point, and two, because I hated them.
Alec must have seen the hate in my eyes for he looked at me sadly and than sighed. "Come one guys, let's go. It looks like our Clary has truly left us." And with that he turned and walked the way he had come about a hour ago. There was a silence, but than the others followed him one by one until Jace and Izzy were left. Jace didn't say anything, but than sighed and walked out the door with his head to the ground. Izzy on the other hand didn't go quietly. "I'm sorry Clary" was all she said in a whisper and than she too left with a sad expression on her face.
I'm sorry Clary
