They walked through the hills for hours, following the necklace that was tracking Jenny. Every place was more beautiful than the last one. If the situation was different, Sophia thought, she would love to keep walking around these places for hours, maybe even for days. She'd never get tired of the view. Everything was peaceful and beautiful. But she didn't have time to enjoy it now, she had to keep walking.

"I hope the jail isn't in Alicante, because we can't just get into that place without permission."

"Where are we?"

"The only place of Idris I really know, the place where I've got born. I bet the jail isn't here. It's a calm place, there's nothing much around."

"Hm. Well, I hope the jail isn't far either."

"If you're complaining because I brought you to the middle of nowhere, why don't you go back to New York and try to come to Idris on your own, walking?"

"Moody. I'm not complaining."

Anna took her shoes off long ago, because high heels don't really fit with this kind of place. Or with walking in general, a lesson Anna would never learn. Anna and Sophia met each other in the worst moment of Sophia's life and the best moments of Sophia's life, she spent with her as well.

Sophia was 19 years old now; she lived with her uncle and aunt until she was 15. One day she got home from school and saw them dead in the middle of the living room and she didn't know what to do or where to go. She had a mother and a father, but they wouldn't like to see her. That was when she met Anna. She was living in the streets, since she had no place to go, and a demon attacked her. Anna saved her life and took her to an institute. At first she seemed to be sure that Sophia was a Shadowhunter. Anna helped Sophia with the training and everything, even though the institute had someone to teach and train her. She was the one who noticed that all her runes would disappear in a few days, even the permanent ones. She was the one who searched for information, who made the memories of Sophia's past life get back little by little. She was the only one who saw her scars.

Sophia had two scars at her back, two white big cuts, in the place that her wings would be, if she had any. Anna was always hiding her secrets, drawing runes over and over again in the place where her permanent runes should be. She was the closest thing Sophia ever had from a real sister, since she didn't live with her sister since she was 4 years old and could barely see her. Anna was 3 years older than Sophia. She lived in an apartment with her boyfriend. Her parents lived in a big house down the street. They wouldn't leave her alone, since she was their only child and she was always getting into bad situations. Like this one.

Anna's parents always treated Sophia as her pet. Like something cute that couldn't think or make its own choices, so it was Anna's responsibility to "take care of her and clean her mess."

Maybe that's the reason why Sophia never got very close to Anna's parents.

"Thank you." Sophia said. Anna stopped walking and looked at her.

"For what?"

"For bringing me to Idris, for coming here to help me."

"It's fine. If you die, I'll have to find another homeless Shadowhunter to be my pet and I guess they're not very common." She answered and started walking again.

Alec woke up and went to the bathroom. When he left, something got his attention: A small piece of white paper, under his door. He took it and opened it.

Alec,

I'm so sorry if you'll get into trouble because of me, but there are things I had to do. I needed to come back to Brazil. I'm so, so sorry. Thanks for everything anyway. I'm not really good with words, but I'll miss talking to you. Tell Isabelle I'm sorry for stealing a few clothes from her, but I might send it back when I can. Tell Jace I said bye. Tell your mother to don't look for me, she won't find me, not even the Clave will.

See you, Alexander Lightwood.

His heart skipped a beat. He took his phone quickly, she couldn't be far, she wrote this a few hours ago. He called Isabelle.

"Simon, please, don't stop." Isabelle said and closed her eyes, as Simon kissed and licked her neck, increasing the speed of his moves. He could feel she was digging her fingernails into the skin of his back but he felt no pain. He squeezed her thigh and she moaned. And then her phone rang. He looked up at her. "It will stop ringing soon, just… Keep going." She said.

"It could be an emergency."

"What we have here is an emergency too, it's been a long time, you know." He knew. They didn't have any chance to be together for a long time, when she was in the battle to get Sebastian. It took a long time for a "battle." He would call it a war, but it was too short to be a war too. It was something in the middle. After the end of the battle, it was the first time she could get out of the institute and come to spend some time with him. The phone stopped ringing and he kissed her deeply. He was so afraid of losing her when she was gone; he never noticed he liked her so much. But he did. Her hands were suddenly on his lower back, pressing him hard against her body. And the phone started ringing again.

"Not the best soundtrack to this moment." He said against her lips, she was breathless.

"I'm going to kill whoever is calling me. I mean, it's 8 in the morning! It better be really an emergency." Simon laughed. She spent the night at his apartment, but he was too hungry to really think about sex. He drank her blood, and then she needed some rest. When she woke up in the morning, she didn't want to eat, she didn't want anything else, but him. Not a good time for sex, early in the morning, most people could say. Luckily, any time was good for Isabelle, because he wanted her just as much as he wanted her blood last night. She reached for her phone and he was about to lie beside of her, but she held him back with her legs. "Don't. Stay right there, it won't take long." She picked up the phone and he was looking at her face, the way her soft lips moved while she talked. "Alec. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING ME?! You better have a great reason. I mean, the best reason ever. I'm really busy right now."

"Sophia, she ran away." Simon could hear Alec's answer clearly.

"So what?"

"There are things I need to tell you, about her. She isn't a Shadowhunter."

"What else could she be? Are you high?"

"I can't talk about it thru the phone. Come back home, then I can tell you everything."

She hung up and looked up at Simon. "Whatever it is, it can wait. We're not done yet, Lewis."
