Mrs. Flowers had set the kettle on the stove, letting the water boil. Tea was the perfect remedy for this case. She had never see Damon so worked up before, she was afraid that he was going to wreak her house soon, if he kept this up. She knew that young Stefan was trying his best to consult Damon, but Damon was not in the mood. When the kettle started to whistle, she turned down the temperature and set the kettle to the side. She poured the water into a cup and added a tea bag, then a few homemade spices as well. She walked over to Stefan, who looked exhausted and worn out from Damon. He was sitting down at the table staring at his brother with a weary expression.
"Damon, we can't do that to Clary. We can't just keep her locked up in the boarding house, if it's that powerful as you said then our best chance of protecting her at all is by finding out the this force's weakness and destroying it." Stefan said trying to be reasonable.
Mrs. Flowers frowned as she set the tea in front of Stefan. He gave her a tired smile and took a sip of the tea. Suddenly, the young man that came with Clary began to speak.
"Clary, would never take being locked up in the boarding house, besides, she doesn't like to do what she's told when it comes to these kind of situations." The young man said. Jace, yes that was it ,that was his name that he told her when they met earlier.
Mrs. Flowers shook her head when she heard the pain in his voice with the last few words he spoke, it was if he was living a past memory when he said them. Damon started to argue back to both them and Mrs. Flowers sighed. She hated what was going on, she hated that this was happening to Clary, she was such a sweet girl. She couldn't understand why a dark force like this would want Clary for revenge. As, she heard each young man argue about what to do, she set the kettle back onto the stove to keep it warm.
Suddenly as she was placing an empty cup back into the cupboard, there was a knock on the front door. None of the young gentlemen heard it, so Mrs. Flowers made her way down the corridor and to the front door. For the first time in the last few hours, she smiled when she saw who was on her front door step.
"It's been a while. My you look like your mother in every way. You've grown up beautiful." Mrs. Flowers step aside and let the young woman step inside.
The female smiled back. "Yes, it has been a long time and thank you. My mother would be beaming at your compliment."
Mrs. Flowers chuckle and motioned to follow her down the corridor. When Mrs. Flowers re-entered the room, the young men were still disputing. She sighed, and then clapped her hands together loudly, each man froze and turned their gaze on her, she smiled mischievously.
"Alright gentlemen, help has arrived at last." She grinned at them.
Clary pressed harder on her pencil as she curved the line upward and out. She smiled in satisfaction as she added the finishing touches on her drawing. She stared at her work, studying it – she felt like it was missing something though. Something that would bring out the real beauty of the young woman, that had came to her mind. Finally, she figured it out - the eyes, they didn't seem quite right. She picked up her pencil and very lightly erased the pupil, making it just tad smaller, then darkened iris. Then pressed harder for the top eye lashes then set her pencil back down and study her work again. This time she was fully satisfied. She set her sketch book down, and headed downstairs when she realized that Jace hadn't come back yet.
As Clary wandered down the stairs, then down the corridor she heard voices coming from the kitchen. As she drew closer, she could hear Damon, Stefan, Jace, and Mrs. Flowers talking, but their voices were hushed. She tried to make out what they were saying, but all she was heard was her name. Just as she was about to enter the kitchen, she froze when she heard a voice that she didn't recognized at all. She cautiously peeked around the corner. Her body jolted to a full stop. She couldn't believe it as she walked into the kitchen stunned. Her eyes completely focus on the young woman standing in the middle of the kitchen. But how was this possible? The young woman was exactly of how Clary had drawn her. The woman had stopped talking to Stefan and was staring at her. The woman had soulful green eyes and her chestnut brown hair cascaded over her left shoulder. Suddenly, Clary felt everyone's eyes on her as she just stood there.
"Clary, this is Candra." Mrs. Flowers introduced as she poured some tea into a cup and offered it to Candra.
Clary didn't know how to respond, she didn't know to act – it was as if her whole body had completely shut down and went numb, but somehow she managed to ask. "How is this possible? You're the person I just drew!"
"Clary," Candra's voice was soft and gentle as she spoke. "I'm a tracker…I help take down those who've gone rouge and need to be punish." As Candra took a cautious step forward, Clary took a step back. "Clary, I can sense something – something strong and powerful in you that's why you might have drawn me coming, but from what Mrs. Flowers told me about this force – yes it sounds like it wants revenge."
"But why me? What have I ever done to cause something this powerful to want revenge!" Clary cried out. It wasn't fair; she hadn't done anything to have this force want to get revenge on her. Candra had fallen quiet suddenly, but she was staring intensely at her though.
Candra's eyes flickered and shifted her gaze at Stefan and Damon. "Katherine." She whispered.
Damon snorted and cross his arms against his chest. "Katherine's dead, Stefan finished her off – it isn't her. She was powerful, but not that powerful."
Candra sighed, "I didn't mean that Katherine is the force, I mean that it could be related. Katherine could have a powerful partner in the shadows."
"Yes, that could be quite true, we didn't know how long Katherine had been in town until she decided to make an appearance to us…yes it's quite possible that Katherine could had a partner." Stefan agreed.
"So why now? Why now did it decided to come now for revenge against me? I didn't even kill Katherine." Clary stated.
"No, but you were Katherine's main target though, right?" Candra asked.
Instantly Jace's eyes flickered like towards Candra, "You don't think….it can't possibly….no…but…" Jace continued to rumble on as he was staring at Candra.
Clary watched Candra frown, it appeared that Candra understood what Jace was talking about, but she didn't as she was glancing between Candra and Jace.
"I'm afraid at the moment it's the only explanation why it wants Clary. I'll do my best track it down, before it tries to make another move again." Candra replied.
Clary couldn't take it anymore, "Alright, what are you two talking about?" Candra and Jace both tore their gazes off each other and went to her. Damon was scowling and Stefan had a grim expression on his face, but it was Mrs. Flowers that answered her question.
"They think the force was waiting for the right opportunity to finish what Katherine started…to finish the ritual – the sacrifice."
Hmm...so will the other stop the dark force and figure out his weakness and destory it before it's too late not only for Clary, but Elena too? Well I guess you guys will have to keep reading to find out. Please tell me what you guys think!
