A/N: I am SOOOOO sorry about the majorly long delay on the update! I had a severe case of writers block and kinda forgot about this story...but here I am! Please ENJOY! ;D
ClaryPOV
The entire population of the Institute, minus Jace, was looking at me as if I had grown another head...or, well, a pair of wings. Meanwhile, I was blushing furiously, because of all the stares I was getting. Maybe telling everyone wasn't the best idea.
"...and now, Clary has wings." Jace finished. He was in charge of telling them, while I was in charge of showing them.
"Her wings," Isabelle started, "they look like the have runes on them...could that be from her being a Shadowhunter?"
Jace shrugged, looking at me. "I have no idea," I told her, "It could be for that reason, also, it could have been planned out like that, for my wings to have intricate designs on them, but honestly, I don't know."
She nodded. "Ya know...I think your wings are really cool, it would be amazing to have the ability to fly!"
I smiled at her. "So?" I asked, "We know what Isabelle thinks, what do you guys think?"
One by one, everyone agreed that they were cool, and that it would put the element of surprise over any enemy, giving me a great advantage. Though, a few who agreed didn't look so sure of it. Most of it was probably pity, they all knew that I would be different for the rest of my life, not even being able to really fit in with the Shadowhunters, let alone normal humans, even with glamour.
I folded my wings in as everyone went back to their own buisness. My mom, though, ran over and embraced me in a bone-shattering hug.
"I'm so glad you're safe!" she exclaimed, still a little over-protective, "We were all so worried about you, we thought you had gotten killed when you didn't come back. Jace was frantic! He called Simon, to make sure you hadn't decided to just stay the night, he tried your cell phone, only to find that you had left it on your dresser when you left. He wanted to send out a search party as soon as he figured that out, Midnight, by the way, but we all told him to wait until morning. We sent one out, only to come up with the conclusion that you were not in New York. Jace wasn't about to give up though, we hadn't seen him for over twenty-four hours, making call after call. We were all worried, not only about you, at that point, but about him." she laughed, "Then you ran into him this morning, effectively making his day."
"Thanks for worrying, but you would have never been able to find me. I was all the way out in California," I explained.
"Wow," Alec popped in, "we really were looking in all the wrong places."
"You sure were," I sighed.
