Ok! Chapter 7 was... organizing my thoughts. Still I'm happy. It's kind of a transition chapter.

Disclaimer: The one and only owner of the MI and the ID is Cassandra Clare.

Favorite, Follow, Review! It makes me happy :)

Enjoy!

Jem ran like hell was freezing over, "Xanthos!" He yelled, as Will who stood by his side called Balios. The horses appeared by their side in a blink of an eye and Jem mounted Xanthos.

"Home! Fast!" The horses ran as fast as they could, the chilly London air seemed to cut Jem's breaths short. Everywhere around him downworlders and shadowhunters alike where about to be attacked by a foe they would never expect, one of their own.

Inside the institute Jessie had gone upstairs to redo her hair, by herself. It only took one glance up the hall for her to feel that something was wrong. The candles where never blown out inside the institute, the fires where never put out; the place was supposed to always be warm for Jem's sake.

She walked towards the library mumbling to herself about how she had to do everything for herself if she wanted James healthy. Just as she crossed the entrance, the hidden vampire seized her by the shoulders and pulled her in, covering her mouth. "Shush now little shadowhunter, you can't ruin our plans if I want to eat you for dinner."

Alexei de Quincey's fingers lingered at her cleavage and teased her dress open just a little. Jessamine attempted to back away, disgusted. But the vampire's grasp was tight, and ripping off a piece of her dress he covered her mouth. "Amelie!"

A blonde vampire stepped forward, she was astonishingly beautiful and Jessamine's eyes widened with shock. She looked so much like the young half-breed shadowhunter that had been in the institute for an entire summer before disappearing without a trace. "Take Mrs. Lovelace back to our hideout. Through the window."

Jessamine attempted to free herself from the grasp of the girl, but the only result was getting herself knocked unconscious with loud thud. The last words she hear before everything turned black where de Quincey's. "Let's go get Ms. Gray and Ms. LeFauvre; preferably before their knights in shinning armors stomp in."

Charlotte looked away from Benedict Lightwood's eyes for just a moment, attempting to find Jessamine amongst the crowd. "Mrs. Branwell! I am speaking to you!"

She looked back at Lightwood's dark eyes, without flinching. "Mr. Lightwood, you must excuse me. I can't seem to find Jessamine anywhere and she is supposed to be with our guests…"

All around them the visitors where looking for a host and Henry, as always, had run away to his laboratory. Lightwood shrugged, and waved her off like he had more important things to do than argue with her about the proper ways to run an institute.

"Charlotte?" Tae said, walking up to her with Tessa following close behind. "Is something wrong?"

Charlotte looked at her and Tessa and smiled, "Nothing at all my dears… Just a silly gut feeling that something's…"

The doors of the dinning hall bashed open and an entire flock of vampires flooded the room, taking the unaware shadowhunters by surprise. Charlotte heard shrieks of desperation and fear, this was the first time they where attacked in a place that was protected by the accords, many of the shadowhunters capable of fighting had left their weapons in their rooms.

"Tae, Tessa, get out of here… NOW!" She yelled at the girls and rushed them in Sophie's direction.

"Sophie! Get them out!"

"Mrs. Branwell! I have to stay! Fight!" Noble Sophie pushed the girls back towards the kitchen as she spoke.

"Please Sophie!"

In that moment Gideon Lightwood ran up to them. "Mrs. Branwell, what do you need me to do?"

Charlotte looked around, the vampire's where closing in to them, and what was even stranger, shadowhunters where turning on one another. "Get them out! No matter what they must not be in the hands of evil!" She told Gideon as he gestured towards Tae and Tessa.

In that moment a shriek broke their conversation and Gideon pulled Tae and Tessa away, not before he could see through the corner of his eye how Alexei de Quincey murdered a young shadowhunter girl.
