The joys of being questioned-
There was a knock at my door at what seemed at least 20 minutes later. I strode over to the door and opened it to find Maryse on the other side, "ahhh, I think these must be yours? Did you get Magnus to use his powers to send them over?"
I looked at what she held in her hands, it was my suitcase, back pack and handbag, "oh! Yes, there mine, thankyou, and sure, why not."
I smiled at her confused face; I quickly took my bags and shut the door again. I placed my bags on my bed. I opened my suitcase and put away my clothes, then but my makeup, shower products, hair products etc. In the bathroom, I placed the empty suitcase under the bed.
I went through my back pack next, I had 2 books, a couple of throwing knifes, knife holders, a water bottle and my laptop. I put the books on my bedside table along with my water bottle. I sat my laptop on the desk, and then I sat down on the bed and hid a throwing knife in each foot. I got up and put the rest of the throwing knifes behind the bedside table.
I took my handbag over to the dressing table, placing it on top and then went through it. I had my phone, phone charger, purse and a few other odd bits and pieces.
I was just looking through my wardrobe for my black zip up front jacket when there was a knock at my door. I walked over silently and pulled it open. On the other side stood Alec with Izzy and jace leaning on the wall opposite the door. When jace saw me he smirked, Izzy gave a weak smile and Alec stayed neutral.
"They asked us to come and get you and take you to the library." Alec said.
I smirked, "ahhh, questioning time is it? Well, let me just finish one thing."
With that, I shut the door and went back to the wardrobe to get my jacket. I put it on, grabbed 2 more throwing knifes and hid them on the inside of my jacket. Once I was ready, I went back over to the door and walked out.
"I'm done, lead the way!"
And hats exactly what they did. We walked all the way back to the library and entered through the large heavy doors once again. The adults were in the same seats as earlier, I walked down the stairs and sat at the same chair I was at earlier. The teenagers went back to the sofa chairs.
"Well," said Maryse, standing up, "let's not waste time, let's get started, Robert?"
She said his name carefully, like she thought he was a bomb about to explode, though if his anything like earlier, he is. Robert stood up as Maryse sat down, he looked calmer, and "our first question is, what your name is?"
"Ahhh, Magnus already told you, its clary."
"No, your full name."
I shook my head, "I don't have a last name or a middle name, and I don't want to be called by my full first name, which no doubt some of you will do if I tell you, so just clary."
"No last name, everyone has a last name!" someone said, I didn't know there name.
Robert looked sternly at me, "I don't care if you don't want to be called by your full first name, what it is."
I shake my head again, "I don't want to answer that, and you agreed remember?"
Robert seemed to growl, "Fine! But if you answer a simple question like that, how can we expect any answers at all!"
"Oh, you'll get some, just not this one."
He just narrowed his eyes and continued, "Next question, how did you get us to leave like that?"
"Ahhh, I did that by being who I am, I didn't want you there, you refused to leave and I made you, I don't know how to explain how I did it, it's like asking a warlock how they cast spells!"
"So you're a warlock?"
I smiled sweetly at him, "no."
Everyone was looking at me, confused, no, more curious than confused. Robert continued asking the question I knew would be one of the first few questions, "then what are you?"
I made a thinking face, "ahhh, let me see, hmm, I'm…something…that you'll never know because only one other person on earth knows what I am, and you won't be the second."
"Who is the other person?"
"Like I'd tell you! You'll just go and try and force it out of them, they promised me they wouldn't tell, and I'm not going to test that."
Everyone seemed to start to get annoyed with me and my wonderful answers. "Fine!" Robert said. He seemed to ask everything here other than Maryse, "you said that you had an important issue, can you tell us about that?"
I smiled, "ahhh, now you finally ask something I can answer!"
Everyone sighed in relief, and I continued, "well you see, I went home after a date with my boyfriend, and I went upstairs after shutting the door in his face, I was… doing something, then I decided to have a shower, but as I was getting up, I heard the front door being smashed down and a commotion down stairs, so I went to the top of the stairs to see 2 shadow hunters with a demon and my adoptive mother, my adoptive mother drank some potion and passed and the shadow hunters took her leaving the demon, I walked down stair and sh… ahem, killed the demon and went outside, that's when your shadow hunters turned up and wallah."
They all stared at me; I smiled back at them, though my eyes were slightly narrow. "A shadow hunter with a demon? And even so, we should have been alerted about shadow hunters breaking into a house and taking someone, or even if there in New York. I don't believe this!"
"DAD!" everyone turned and we could see Izzy standing, glaring at Robert, "there was a demon in there! Just because you don't believe it doesn't mean it's wrong!"
"Izzy." Robert growled.
"What? It's the truth, but I guess that because you don't believe me either so that makes it not true!" Izzy yelled as she left the room.
Everyone was quite, Roberts face was thunderous.
I looked up at all of them, "you know, she's right, I wouldn't lie about his, I hardly ever lie unless I have to, it is the truth, If you're not going to do anything about this, then it's a waste of my time being here, that's the only reason I came."
Before they could answer, and before I could stand up to leave, Alec stood up and spoke, "why did you ask me about valentine, clary?"
Everyone snapped there gazes from Alec to me, I sighed, "well, you see, when I invited Magnus in, I told him what happened with the demon and shadow hunters and asked him if he could guess who took her. He told me that she was, no, is married, and she had left her husband but never gotten a divorce because he was meant to have died. The thing was that she never believed that he was dead; she wasn't sure about her son, who was also meant to have died in the fire along with her mother and father. He said that the men I described sounded like 2 men from the circle, which he explained to me what it was, so I guess you guys know what it is. He told me that the leader was called valentine, who was her husband, so Magnus guessed she was with him, because he believed her about valentine being alive, though he doesn't know where he or she would be."
They all stared at me in horror, some with hand to their mouths. The first to speak was Maryse, "Jocelyne?"
I was taken aback, "how do you know my adoptive mothers name?"
"She was my friend, I was part of the circle with her, she's you adoptive mother?"
"yes." I say simply, "if we're talking about the same person that is, red hair? Green eyes?"
She just nodded and collapsed back into her chair. A man with grey hair spoke next, "if this is all true, then the clave must be informed, we must tell the at once, but make sure to let them know we are not fully sure yet, that we're looking into it and thought they might need to know, just in case."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Robert finally spoke, "children, clary, you can leave now, please."
I stood up along with the others and went to the door. Seeing as I was a lot closer to the door I went straight through and waited for them on the other side. We walked back to our rooms; they lead the way as I still wasn't sure were to go. No one spoke as we walked.
I looked at the time, it was 6.00pm. Too early to go to sleep and I needed food before I did. So I read one of my books while I waited for dinner.
