The air stung Jenna's lungs as she gasped like a fish out of water. She sat bolt upright and her eyes flew open. "Are you ok?" asked a concerned voice from beside her. She turned to see Clary sitting beside her. Jenna nodded. "I'm fine, I think..." said Jenna shakily. "Jace, she's awake!" shouted Clary. Clary handed Jenna a glass of water and Jenna took a sip thankfully. Jenna heard running footsteps as she saw Jace, Mark, Isabelle and Simon appear in the library door. They rushed over and sat down around Jenna. Alec appeared a few moments later. "I've called Magnus and Tessa. They'll be here in a few minutes." he said.
"Did you find out who it is?" asked Jace. Jenna nodded. "It was weird. One minute I was here in the institute. I saw someone leave the room and followed them. But then I wasn't in the institute any more, I was in Seattle Airport." said Jenna shakily. "That is unusual..." said a voice from the doorway. Jenna turned to see Magnus standing in the doorway with Tessa. Tessa ran to Jenna. "Are you ok?" asked Tessa. Jenna hugged Tessa. "I'm good." said Jenna.
"What do you mean, Magnus? How is it unusual?" asked Jace. "Normally, this type of dream-message is one way only. As in, they see where Jenna is. However, this seems to be two way. It seems Jenna can see where they are." said Magnus taking a seat next to Alec. "Never mind that! Who was it?" said Izzy impatiently.
"There was a woman, Louise Whiterose, and a man called Reuben. I think the man was a warlock." said Jenna quickly. "Reuben, as in Lucas Reuben, High Warlock of Melbourne?" asked Tessa. Magnus nodded. "It must be. Did he have a weird complexion?" asked Magnus. "He had purple skin, if that's what you mean!" said Jenna rolling her eyes. Simon and Clary laughed. Magnus smiled. "That's him" he said.
"Hang on. Did you say they were in Seattle? They could be coming here!" said Mark. "They're obviously coming here." said Jace seriously. "This isn't good." said Isabelle. A serious silence fell across the group. "Are they safe?" asked Jenna quietly. "Who knows?" said Jace. "They could be dangerous." said Alec. "We need protection" said Isabelle. 6 voices started arguing.
"Shut up!" said Jenna frustrated. They fell silent. "I want to meet them. Somewhere safe where I can get away if I need to. I want you all there, for protection. But I want to give them a chance to explain themselves first." said Jenna confidently. "Always straight to the point, Jenna" said a voice from the door. "Jem!" squealed Jenna as she turned to see Jem standing in the doorway. He walked over and gave Tessa a quick kiss before turning and hugging Jenna.
"How much do you know Jem?" said Jace. "Tessa told me everything" said Jem smiling at the rest of the group. "Are you alright Jenna?" he asked. Jenna rolled her eyes. "I'm fine! Honestly!" she said exasperatedly. "From what I've heard it sounds like there is only one person in this room who can sort this out Jenna!" said Jem. Mark frowned. "Who?" asked Jace. "Well, I've heard a certain warlock's parties are famed in this place. No one can deny an invitation!" said Jem. Clary swore she saw Magnus blush a little under his glitter. "Yay!" squealed Izzy "Party!"
Jenna nodded. "Let's meet my parents!" she said confidently.
