CHAPTER 10

Clary POV

I quickly dress and pack all of our remaining things. "Hey Clary." I look up and Jace walks out of the bathroom dressed with wet hair. "Hey Jace." I say. "So ready to move?" I ask and he nods, "yes. I am." I grab his arms and put them around me. "Mum and Luke said that they would swing by when we settled in Idris because mum said if they came this morning they would be here for ages." I tell Jace, "ok. Well let's get all this stuff downstairs."

Jace helps me carry the last of the boxes down, by then it is almost time to leave so we start to say our goodbyes. I hug Isabelle tightly, "I promise that when I feel you in trouble I will be there in an instant" I say. "I promise too." She says and we let go of each other. I give Alec a hug, "take care Alec." I say and give him a light smile. "You too Clary." I say goodbye to Maryse and Robert. Jace finishes his goodbyes and I open up a portal to Idris. We take one last look at our family and walk through the portal.

We arrive on the edge of Lake Lyn and do our best not to fall into the water, which thankfully we don't. I grab Jace's hand, "ready?" "Ready."

JACE POV

I walk hand in hand with Clary as we walk through Alicante towards Herondale Manor. Clary brought just a shoulder bag with her because we had all our stuff here already. We walk past Amatis's house and I feel Clary's hand get tighter. We stop and stare. "Do you want to go inside?" I whisper and she nods.

CLARY POV

We walk inside and memories just come flooding back, me being here the first time I met my brother, meeting Luke's sister being here during the battle. I slowly let go of Jace's hand and wander upstairs and into the room I stayed in. I push the door open and everything is the same. I open the box by the bed and everything I still here. I grab the black hunting gear and walk back downstairs. "You bringing that with us?" Jace asks, "yes. There's no point for it just sitting in an old trunk." I say and we continue to walk to the manor.

After about 30 minutes we arrive outside Herondale Manor. Jace had sorted everything out with the Clave and now anything that belongs to the Herondale's, Jace now owns unless Tessa Gray owned it in the first place. I look at Jace as we just stand outside. "Jace, we are allowed to go in you know," I say and he turns to me. "What?" He asks and I just shake my head. "Come on." I say and we walk into the grounds opening the gate.

NO ONE POV

Clary and Jace walk into the Herondale grounds with utter amazement, looking around at almost everything, the place was huge and the house seemed massive. The gardens looked well-kept like someone could actually live here. They reach the front door and Jace brings out the key.

CLARY POV

I stand shoulder to shoulder with Jace at the door as he pulls out the key with a little bird on the end like the one on our rings. He puts the key in and the door unlocks. We walk inside and the place is huge. Suddenly I am being picked up and spun around. "Jace, put me down." I say between fits of laughter. He sets me back on my own two feet. I put my arms around Jace's neck and kiss him. His hand runs through my hair and I feel myself lower a little bit by Jace's hand. Slowly this kiss comes to an end. I smile at Jace and he sighs. "What's wrong?" I ask. "We just have to much stuff to unpack and yet we don't know where anything is." He says. He's right when we bought how stuff here we just put it all in this massive space not having a look around. As if on cue there is a knock on the door. I walk over and over it. "Tessa, what are you doing here?" I ask as I invite her in. "I thought that this might come in handy." She hands me a roll of paper. "It's a map of the house, Will gave it me to help me find my way around the house because I didn't know where anything was for a while. Well I should let you get settled in, Jem is waiting for me anyway. See ya." I give her a hug and she walks out, "bye Tessa." I close the door and turn back to Jace. "Tessa gave us a map of the house." I say and unroll it in front of Jace. We look over it and there is so many rooms in this house, like 6 guest rooms, 2 master rooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 dining room, 2 studies, 1 library and 2 living areas. "Wow," is all I can say. "I know." Jace says.

I decide as Jace starts to unpack to run into Alicante and grab some food for the kitchen (fruit, veg, herbs, bread, spreads and ice cream.) I walk into Alicante with a basket in hand, I notice a few people staring but they quickly go back to their own business.

JACE POV

I unpack cutlery, plates, bowls, etc into the kitchen. I am actually pleased that the Clave helped me fix the place up a little, it hadn't been used since my birth parents had died. Luke and Jocelyn are coming round later to help us settle in and stay the night, Luke is going to help me move the beds in. For some odd reason the Clave put in a four poster bed with crisp white sheets and white silk curtains for us, little strange but anyway, I hear the door open as I close the cupboard. I walk through the 1st living room to the front door and I see Clary. "Hey Clary, how'd go in Alicante?" I ask and she gives me a hug. "It was good I got practically everything we need to start off with." She says. "Cool. Well I'd say that your parents would be here soon." I say and help Clary unpack the food into the kitchen. I flick on a few lights in other rooms to just make it feel a bit more like home.

CLARY POV

While Jace finishes off things downstairs I unpack our clothes in the draws and hang coats and dresses in the wardrobe. I look around the room, it is about twice the size of the ones at the Institute. The balcony door is open and the curtains on the bed are blowing a little bit. I stack the boxes one on top of the other and walk into the bathroom, this is about the size of the bedrooms in the Institute. Two sinks, 1 toilet, a massive bath, cupboard and shower. "Clary," Jace calls from downstairs. "Coming Jace, where are you?" I call. "In the first living room." He calls and I go downstairs.

I walk into the living room and see Jace standing at the door. "There here," he says and opens the door. I see mum and Luke at the door and I rush over. I embrace my mum tightly and Luke just the same. They walk in and to my surprise Izzy and Alec are with them. "Oh my god, what are you guys doing here?" Jace asks. "Well we wanted to help you settle in, how we bought stretcher beds because we knew that there would only be one bed in the house at the moment." Izzy says. "That isn't entirely true. Luke and I came in earlier before you guys started to bring stuff in, so we set up three guest rooms." My mum says and I hug her. "Oh thank you." I say. "Oh we have one more surprise for you." Luke says and points towards Izzy and Alec, they step apart and in between them stands Simon. I gasp and rush over. "Simon," I say. I pull away and stand next to Jace. "What are you doing here? I thought that the Clave didn't allow mundanes in Idris." I say. "They don't but they made an exception for me because I know all about the shadow world." He says. "Well come on in," says Jace. "We have long night ahead of us," Jace says.
