She knew this would happen, of course it would have so this feeling of hurt was bubbling up inside of her ready to burst was completely 100% ridiculous. she grimaced as her bindings dug into her wrist, Isabelle looked over with a grimace of sympathy whilst Alec glared and gave her a little shove.
"oi knock it off" Isabelle turned facing her older brother with a glare that could send a demon running, "she saved my life dont treat her like a war criminal"
"she ran from the clave she might be one!" Alec exclamied with annoyance dripping like venom from his mouth. Isabelle houghed in annoyance, instead of continuing the arguement she decided to take over walking behind Clary instead of the front, even though the institute was only down the street she still felt in debt to Clary and she wanted to repay the favour. Plus she didnt believe in the slightest that Clary was guilty of anything, if she was she surely wouldnt have saved her life. And the downworlders wouldnt have stood up for her like that.
Alec sighed at his sisters stupidity, he sighed again when he heard her say, "she probably would have come with us willingly we didnt need to bind her"
"oh no I definielty would have tried to escape i ran for a reason. " Clary spoke up, with raised eyebrows and shocked expressions between all three of her capters they cocontinued to the walk in silence until they reached the institute. Clary couldnt stop thinking however, Jace didnt look familiar in the slightest but Alec and Izzy. They both reminded her of someone before she ran. Someone she loved dearly.
The elevators dinged open to the floor where Alecs and Isabelles Mothers office was, the top floor. Isabelle still being gentle nudged Clary out, whilst the two boys walked a head to inform Maryse of the captive. Izzy got her chance to ask Clary, " why did you say that back their?" Isabelle asked Clary
"Say what?" Clarys poker face was good but Isabelle knew better, she had Jace for a brother after all.
"you know how you would have ran, it would have been easy to lie and say you wouldnt and i would have believed you. i might havs tried to undo the bindings and you would of had your chance"
Clary shrugged, "it was the truth" she stated glad that the doors were upon them, already open awaiting there arrival.
As they entered it became clear to Clary why Isabelle and Alec looked familiar, pacong slightly infornt of her desk was Maryse. Alec and Jace to the side looking very very confused. Maryse looked up having sensed Clary enter, eyes watering and knife drawn she almost ran over to Clary who was frozen stiff. Isabelle seeing the scene took a step back, she didnt see Maryse's normal tell for her blood curdiling anger but at the same time was running at the petite ginger girl with a knife. Before any the teens could react Clarys bounds were cut and she was in Maryses arms in an embrace.
The three siblings stood there shell shocked at the embrace. From Jace and Alecs side they could see the tears in Clarys eyes, and from Isabelles position she could see the tears flowing from Her mothers eyes. Maryse let go of the embrace pulling back but holding onto Clarys shoulder, "You left, I thought you were dead, how could I not you were 9!" Maryse shouted on the verge of hysetia. Before Clary could respond Alec cleared his throat, a clear question on his face.
Maryse cleared her throat composing herself, she motioned to the chairs. "You all may want to take a seat"
Maryse sat at her lush and delicately dngraved desk, whilst the Alec sat in a arm chair, Isabelle next to Clary on the sofa with Jace perching on the arm of the chair.
Maryse cleared her throat, "It was just before Jace came to the family, I dont know if you kids remember but it was the time in Idris for almost a year and a half without visiting." the kids show no emotion keeping blank poker faces as Maryse comtinues.
"They had just rescued Clary, they didnt know where Jocyln was so whilst deciding they left Clary in my hands." Jace noticed Clary looking down at hsr scared hands, like most shadowhunters they all had scars somewhat, faint white lines of past injurys, especially on their hands. However Clarys were much worse, there seemsd to be no unscared flesh on her hands.
"Clary, Robert and I grew close, well i thought we were close but then when we arrived back to New York Clary disappeared." Maryse stopped talking to the group and instead looked at Clary, "We looked for you. Even to this day we kept our ears out for you. We knew you werent a traitor. But the Clave thinks you ran to return to Valentine" Maryse spat out the last words. Alec and Isabelle sat there shocked, Clary narrowed her eyes at Maryse, "Dont act like I ran for no reason Maryse, I heard the talk of being treated like a weapon, I heard you, Robert and Imogen discuss the best ways to use my 'skills' " by this time Jace, Alec and Isabelle looked veru confused whilst Maryse just looked shocked. Clary had just stood up when Enquistor Imogen walked in the room. "Yes Clary you are a weapon. And if we cant the control the weapon we need to take care of the weapon" the skeleton like women walked forward with two shadowhunters intow, "Well done for following protocol Alec, now Clarissa Morgenstern stand in the middle of the room please."
