Hellloooo! New chapter is here. Thank you to those who made those lovely reviews! Even if they were only a couple it meant to much to me :')

Okay this isn't as long as the other chapter but this one is only a fill-in.

Starting to build up the plot and stuff.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Mortal Instruments or its characters!

I slowly open my eyes. My head is so sore, as if a baseball bat has hit it repeatedly. My stomach is turning and i feel like throwing up. In fact I think I might.

I find myself on an unfamiliar double bed, it could be a queen size but that doesn't really matter. I look around and find myself in what is a girls bedroom. I whip off the quilt and set my bare feet on the cool wooden flooring. I find myself still in my clothes from last night and my shoes sit on the floor beside the bed. What happened last night?

I vaguely remember some parts but that's it.

I walk over to the bedroom door and turn the knob and look down the hallway. This place looked so nice. I walk down the hallway and find a wooden staircase. I crouch down to see a look at the floor below. I see a figure walking past a room and curiously search around to see if I can see them again. I tiptoe down the stairs and chills run up my legs when my feet touch the marble floor.

I keep walking down and find myself in a kitchen. Pancakes are cooking and a bowl of batter sits on the kitchen island. "Good you're finally awake." I hear a voice say behind me. I turn around and see Aline and Maia in their pajamas eating pancakes and fruit.

"Wow you look awful," Maia says as she goes to eat a strawberry.

"Thanks," I walk over to the kitchen stool and bury my head in my arms. Then I realize something. How did I get in Maia's house? Or it could be Aline's. But still how did I get here?

"You passed out last night at Magnus' party." Maia tells me, as if she read my mind. "Jace carried you to us and Aline drove us to her house."

I feel someone nudge my elbow. I look up and see Aline handing me a banana. "Eat this, it'll help with the hangover."I take it and smile weakly. I peel the banana and have a bit. It's sweet, delicious and satisfying. It wasn't till I swallowed I realized I was extremely hungry.

"So where's Isabelle?" I ask.

"Ooh she's mad at you honey," Maia smiles and throws a blueberry in her mouth.

"Mad at me? Why?" I was confused. What could have I done to make Isabelle upset?

"Beats me, she'll get over herself by Monday. She's a highly sensitive girl." Maia explains. Aline nodded in agreement. Maia and Aline reminded me of two girls. I don't know maybe from some movie or something.

"So why did your parents choose Alicante? Especially after the incident that happened last year." Aline takes a pancake and starts to put maple syrup on top.

"What incident?" I ask curiously.

"You don't know?" Maia looks surprised. I shake my head.

"Well last October, a junior called Tessa Gray went missing after a school dance. Just like that," Aline snaps her fingers. "They found her shoes down by the creek at the back of the school and so was her clockwork angel necklace. People say they heard screams. Some people think she fell in the creek. Some thought she was murdered. Every points the finger at Izzy though,"

"What?" I say baffled.

Maia nodded. "Yeah, even the police thought so."

"But why though?"

"Tess was a close friend of ours. She was in our group and stuff. Her and Isabelle had a fight and threatened to kill her. Isabelle tells us Sebastian set her up but I don't think its Sebastian, or Isabelle to be honest." Maia answers. She that's why Isabelle really hates Sebastian and his friends.

I start to remember parts of our argument from last night. Isabelle and I were outside on Magnus' lawn.

"Did Jace have anything to do with it?" I don't know why I'm bothering about Jace. Jace Herondale is a curious boy.

"He's like Sebastian's wing man, best friend and shit so you'd know why." Maia explains.

But Jace seemed harmless. Strange, but harmless. I've come across worse boys. I've seen boys single handily kill other people, Sebastian and his little friends don't scare me. I'd like to see them try.

Aline goes to the kettle and turns it on "The police has been on Isabelle's case for over 9 months. They think we don't notice but we see them around the school all the time, watching us - tea?" I decline her offer by shaking my head. Aline gestures to Maia if she wants tea too. Maia nods.

"Have you ever thought of proving Isabelle innocent?"

Maia shrugged. "We tried, but police are stubborn."

I sighed and pouted my lip. I guess I can understand why Isabelle took what I said to heart. But I'm becoming curious about this whole situation.

No. Clary don't get caught up in a problem that isn't yours. I told myself. I shouldn't. But I don't want Isabelle in this dilemma anymore.

Yo I'm sorry for the really short chapter -.-

I just wanted to update asap.

idk what else to say...
