clary followed the girl, while tacking advantage of this time to fully see her. She had blonde hair, almost as gold as the sun, her eyes were like gold almost like a wolves eyes, which wouldn't be to hard to see. The word 'wolf' Was written on her belt buckle, the belt wrapped around her waist twice.

The passage they were walking down, was painted with graffiti, Clary saw graffiti as art but would never do it herself. clary was quiet confused to how she got here, the girl lead her behind a library, and the passage was made of orange bricks and on the left at the very end was a row of bins, the girl moved them revealing a red door, and gestured Clary in.

Now they were here. Once more another red door with a ruin of different colours, all colours mixing together like water. almost exactly like the void when I met EveClary thought, the ruin was a whirl pull, and it exploded in the middle of the whirl pulls end and stuck out, it reminded her off tornado, and at the very end the stuff would explode through the vortex.

" hey your that chick creates ruins" she said, a little excitedly.

" Yeah that's me" was all Clary replied.

" Lucky you" she said, it almost sounded like she was jealous but Clary caught her smile. she opened the door and looked at Clary almost to quickly for Clary to look inside.

" Well ya coming or what?" She said with a blank expression, with a quirk of broth eyebrows.


" we'll we looked" said Simon.

" More like tried" said Isabelle rubbing her sholders

" It's probably been hours" said Magnus looking at the two teenagers.

" We should get back" said Luke facing Magnus.

Right now they were at the front of Clary's old house. Ironic was the only word for it, a slight sorrow of pain twinges Simons heart, he couldn't help but remember all that happened, in his trance of memories it felt like he was a fish just sitting there watching the other fish move, and he didn't even realise it.

" Where are we gonna go huh?" Said Isabel looking at the ground.

" You and Simon feel free to stay at my place" said Luke kindly, Isabelle tried to sustain a groan, it wasn't that she didn't like Luke it was more to the point it was the full moon. And she would never admit it she was slightly afraid.

" Yeah thanks Luke" she tried to hide the poison in her word but it wasn't that easy.

" Magnus?" Luke questioned.

" I think I will go back to my home, unlike these poor souls I have a house, oh and feel free to come Isabelle" Isabelle was overjoyed on the inside, but a frown formed her face.

" Luke I think it's better you come with us, I mean Jocelyn might..." She didn't have to finish they all understood.

" If you don't mind?" Luke said to Magnus, Magnus nodded and they went a slow pace to his house.

Luke new that Isabelle meant well and couldn't blame her, but now he felt a tornado of pins in his heart. He misses Jocelyn but, he needed to help Clary on this one, it was cruel for him to do this to Jocelyn, but this exactly what happened between him and his sister, oh how history repeats itself. Luke didn't usually let pride over take him but, in this case he had to deal with this.

Luke didnt want to chose sides, but he was forced to and besides Jocelyn and the others seemed to have chosen there's. to him this seemed like a private war going on, and his deepest fear about this war is the clave will find out then what will the clave do? Would Maryse really do this? Will she really go to the Clave all he could do was have a silent prayer that he was wrong.

" Are you okay, you walked in here like mummy" said Magnus peering at him, he had made it to Magnus' house without even knowing it, he was to stuck in his own thoughts.

" Yep just thinking" at that moment he knew he was hungry.

" Can we have something to eat Magnus Im starving" she said exasperatedly, that's the thing about Isabelle, thought Simon one minute she shares her feelings the next she acts as if she has none at all. And she new it too.

" Feel free to eat what ever you desire" he said turning to his room, his house was open and large, almost like it could have been a museums, and Simon realised he was being kind to, he was probably used to his own company well maybes Alec's but he must understand to, but what exactly? Magnus seemed so casual about everything.

but he couldn't talk either. He understood Clary, he remembered when he tried to tell mum and what she said, he hated to go against miss fray but what could he do, this was his best friend and ex crush, including ex in a form. But he still hated jace slightly, that was a lie he liked him but wouldn't admit it, it seemed though by the air that has surrounded everyone everyone had secrets.


" what is this place?" Said clary it was an indirect question, and if you walked in here you would say the same thing.

the place was like a barn under ground, like she just stepped into the world of John carter except below ground. She had entered a village, but the was a sky, of pure white clouds and a milky blue, she felt she just stepped into a dream, and there were a normal castle church, it was like a replicas like a institute. But this Institurte was gold with white black and brown.

the castle, or weird institute had a outline of black on the edges, of the curves of it, it was what clary could guess sick story, and on the edge of black was lines of gold, And the bricks a soft brown. It reminded her of hog wards however more modern towards the windows, the windows were huge and on the many rooms, you could see art, dolls, TV, computers books. The place reared of personality and knowledge, and clary had to admit it appealed to her.

It resembled the institute rather too closely, it was like an orphanage, she could tell by the people in the room, in the front window was a crowd of people watching what she guessed was the footy. And at the top was a library, a bid one at that, she had an eager rush to just transform and scan it.

" Go on then" said the girl smirking at her.

" Explore" and thats all Clary needed.

without thought she transformed, feeling the familiar stretch of skin, and she circled it. On her way she noticed a garden, of many normal and magical flowers, and in the windows on the bottom was the kitchen at the back, and to the east window was a frame room, like Will, Ps one, two, and three, including a stack of shelves of iPads, laptops and computers it was massive she would give it that.

and in the west wing was what looked like a room full of equipment, she mostly spotted sport. then turned her head to find beyond the garden nothing, but without knowing it was like her vision zoomed out to find many different courts. How was this possible, she thought, then she made it back to that girl she met and collapsed out of breath, for her brain, and her body.

" Did you have fun?" She asked smirking, clary turned back and nodded lying there.

" You don't tell me your name" She enquired.

" The names Roxie" she held a hand out to Clary and hoisted her up.

" What is this place?"

" We call it the secret"

" why?"

" Because it's a secret, and it's catchy" Clary smiled, she reminded her of Isabelle.

" So what did you mean that I wasn't the only one?"

" This place is the place where half breeds live, well we call ourselves lorder's" she as aid looking up at her last words.

" lorder's?"

" People who are part two things like, vampire-were wolf, vampire-warlock so on, basically combinations of two species" she said.

" So there's more people like me?" She said surprise written all over her face.

" Yep now you ready to meet everyone" she asked, Clary nodded and walked in. when Clary walked in she didn't know what to expect, all she saw now was a room full of people watching TV, when they saw her she was greeted with many words.

" So this is the newbie"said a boy

" kinda cute"said a different male voice

"you say that to everyone" said a girls voice. clary didnt know who the people were.

" We'll anyways welcome girl" said a ranger ( no offence to those who have red hair, take it as a compliment some people call my mum ranger and she doesn't have red hair) and they went back to doing what they were doing.

" Sorry," said Roxie " we don't like mocking people feel uncomfortable and everyone just does what they want here"

" it's fine," replied Clary " it feels good not to be treated like a girl with a disease" Roxie smiled.

" So I take it you've seen the bottom floors, and if we walk in them all you would get the same reaction, so too the other areas" and she lead her up some blue stairs, it was funny how colourful everything wason the bottom was white, and the stairs were blue, Clary laughed looking at the stairs, this seemed to catch Roxies eyes.

" Yeah, you see we have an art room up here, and some people just paint whenever they feel like it, it's not to bad"

" then what's the point of this place exactly?" Asked clary.

" It's a place for us people to go when we need help, because most of us have been kicked out" she seemed slightly sad towards the end but regained composer quickly.

" So what are you then?"

" mum was a vampire, dad a Fairie, yeah brutal so I ran, no one cared anyway and iced lived hear since"

" so how is it possible for this place to exists, you know how there a shop up the top, well that's the top floor, no one goes up unless they want to buy, you see at the top is a small corner of books and DVDs, and it's basically a restaurant, we even have some computers to find jobs in the games room, you see you want to stay you have to pay. I know it sounds brutal but you just need to find a job buy what you like and dump it where you want to, there even a dance studio for wolves"

" why would wolves need a dance studio" she laughed at this.

" You see we have many hidden secrets here, things not even pure Downlorder's know we will get to that later"

and they made it to a room on the right,full of different tools, pottery, paints, pencils and there was many different colour tables. It seems the room was divided into four corner, one on the right top corner, pencils, the left top corners, pottery, the to Clary's right was paint, then the other eater was blank.

" This is the art area, and over hear" she walked Clary over to the opposite room, was a battle room, there was boxing, archery, camouflage things, swords and small knives even guns.

" People don't come in here unless mature and over eighteen" she rolled her eyes and lead her to the third story this was one floor, the door had a ruin that looked someho like a book, with a fairie sitting on a flower, made from the right of the book ruin, and the book ruin didnt connect with the this floor was cauldrons, books shelves which were meant to be walls.

" This is a room for with he's and warlocks to practice things on the outside gardens for, fairies" then they went to the next floor through a door on the other corner, it had moon with a wolf ears and tale made in front of it, the ears touched the outline of the moon, but didnt connect, and a few paces away form the ear a tale, when Roxie opened the door they found a dance club, full of people singing drinking, eating meat, it almost made her drool.

" This is where the wolves eat, sing at the moon, and see there" she pointed to, area passed the bartender, and saw a room like when Luke had to transform inside " that's for wolves to turn" then they walked passed through the crowded bodies, but they made slight room somehow.

And this door had a weird star with fangs on the end points, almost touching, with what looked like a black sun in the middle. The entered to find a dark room people playing pocker, and glasses full of red . It was watering Clary's mouth, then without knowing a cup floated to her hand and she drank, it cooled the but in in her throat.

" This is where the vampires supply water milk, and get blood from the hospital, well they work and buy it for us, and play pocker but only if there over eighteen. most study medical degree, but since everyone heres a Lorder, they can walk in the light but being out to long they vomit blood. There all mostly nice, so no ones a Downlorder so anyone can go pass these rooms" then she stood in front of Clary opening her arms.

" so you mean that everyone is part things?" Asked clary.

" How many things"

" some are rare and are part all Downlorders, however we have now Nephilim here, well we have a total of five"

" and how many live here?"

" Around six hundred, not most live here just crash"

" so with the fairies can I check it out later?"

" Yep are you a Fairie?"

" Yep"

" that's great! Your like me then" she gave Clary a hug, Clary felt guilty the wasn't lying, could she? Because fairies don't lie so how does that work. But she returned it.

"so you staying?"

" Yeah if it's alright"

" of course this is why it was made"

" who made this place?"

" Eve, but this time she asked gods permission and luckily he agreed"

" do the clave know?"

" Hell no! That would be a disaster, could you imagine us being pushed to our parents, being sent to jail, be neglected for the rest of our life. But that's not necessarily true, we could wait till were eighteen, but we don't anyway"
