What's this? Another update! Yes your eyes do not deceive you. Finished CoHF finally! Started TID. I suppose that CoHF could have happened but ah well! That means we would have had Simon running around training instead of being a blood sucker! Ordered Parabatai necklaces! I want the rune tattooed on me and my best friend, I'm still trying to persuade her though! :D If this chapter is terrible blame it on dad for giving me a glass of Baileys before I started writing this- Sorry.

Chapter 11

Isabelle's POV

I finished putting the last streak of black polish over my finger nails before setting down my codex which I was using as a table. It's not like there was some law that prevented you from using your codex as a table and defacing it which was punishable by death, so I was fine. I took a quick sip of my soup I had prepared earlier. Yuck! It tasted worse than demon ichor. Okay, I admit to not being able to cook now but that doesn't mean that I should give up. Wait, what was that? Voices coming from the library? Alec had left to see Magnus ten minutes ago and even if he was back he couldn't be making enough noise for six. Trying not to smudge my nail varnish, I picked up my whip and curled it around my wrist. As I approached the library door I could hear now six voices, five boys and a girl. Intruders. Either that or mudanes with the sight. I unwound my whip from my wrist bracing it for a fight. On three I pushed the door open.

"Clary?" I asked seeing a familiar red head. I let my whip droop to the floor and sprinted over to embrace her. "Clary!" I shrieked into her ear as I twirled her around. "How was your holiday with Jace? Was it romantic?" I squealed before setting her down and embracing my brother. "And who are these super hot boys and what are they doing showing their rocking bods around my institute? On and hi Magnus! Wait, Alec just went over to your apartment you should probably go after him. Why were you portaling here anyway?" Magnus brushed me off and hurried out the library in the direction of the exit.

"Jace, you didn't tell her?" Clary spat obviously annoyed. Jace just shrugged and pulled a book from the shelf. One of the boys with a ponytail was admiring a copy of Demonology. He was about to pick it up when Clary rushed to the rescue and batted him away.

"Hey! What does this do?" another boy wearing glasses asked. Jace snatched the sensor from him before he could break it.

"Right guys! Listen up." Clary shouted gaining the attention of the hot boys, Jace and me. "Don't touch anything. Nobody is to touch anything, got it?"

"Clare, why can't I touch the books?" Jace whined. Clary frowned at him.

"Yes Jace, you can touch your own books. I was talking to Uri, Yves and Vic...tor." she added the 'tor' after a disapproving glance from the guy with the ponytail.

"Can we touch the floor? Or the air?" inquired the boy with the floppy hair style that draped lazily over his eyes. Clary gave an exasperated sigh.

"Shut up Uriel, you aren't helping. If you don't shut up there will be no more kisses for a month." Clary warned. Wait what?

"Ha, you couldn't resist me." Uriel challenged giving her a quick peck on the lips. I frowned in confusion.

"Iz, please can you take them including Jace into the kitchen and don't kill off my friends with your poisonous cooking. I'll explain everything in a minute. Pinky swear." Clary instructed herding the boys to the door.

"And you guys think Zed's cooking is bad. I don't think starving people would accept Izzy's food." Jace scoffed before leading everyone into the kitchen. Everyone took a seat around the small table inside the kitchen appart from Jace who had headed off to the music room.

"Clary, what is going on? You go away completely and utterly head over heels in love with Jace and now your here kissing and flirting with this guy, Uriel is it, and Jace doesn't even seem to care." I demanded. She gave me a guilty look.

"Okay. This is Yves and Victor my brothers. These are three of the Benedict sons."

"Wait, Valentine had more kids?" I cut in.

"Izzy, listen. There is another race out there like the Fay and the Night Children. They are called Savants. Savants are people who are born with an extra shift in their brain that gives them the power of telekinesis and telepathy. They are also born with a unique power. Like Yves controls fire energy and Victor can manipulate the mind. At the same time in as you were conceived your counter part was to, your soul mate." Clary informed me.

"Sooo, I'm guessing you guys are savants. But how does that make you guys related but not Uriel isn't?" I drummed my fingers on the table in thought. Uriel looked at me like I was stupid and the other two brothers all face palmed. Was it that obvious or something?

"Uriel is my soulfinder." Clary blurted quickly. My eyes widened. That did explain why he kissed her, why the other two were her brothers and not Uriel.

"WHAT?! How are you a savant Clary?" I exclaimed. Suddenly it wasn't Clary in front of me any more, it was Valentine. Down to the hair, the eyes, the male gear and the voice.

"He did this to me Iz. He fed my mum angel and savant blood. I was his extra experiment. The demon, the angel and the angel Savant. That's my power by the way, I can change into another person, like Tessa or Mystique from the X-men." Clary formed back into Clary after saying that. I looked over at the door and pictuered how Jace looked when she told him. His eyes stinging red rimmed with tears. This must be hard on him after all they went through to find happiness. Now she was sat here with her eternal partner, the person who is perfect for her. I hated what this has done to Jace. I hated her.

"Get out." I said firmly.

"What?" Clary stuttered. She broke my brother's heart.

"Get out! I don't want to see you or your kind around here again Clarissa Morgenstern. You are Valentine's daughter and nothing better, you should have died along side Sebastian. You have darkness inside you Clarissa, don't come spreading it around here." I said with all the malice I could muster.

"What? Why? Iz, your my friend, I thought that you'd understand. I thought-" I cut her off before she could go any further.

"You are nothing more than Valentine's daughter. You are nothing more than evil Clarissa. Go and take your friends with you." she sniffed and walked towards the door with the three boys in tow. She couldn't hurt Jace any more.

Uriel's POV

Clary silently gathered up a bag clothes and other belongings.

"Hey, are you sure you are okay?" I asked her generally concerned. Her friend was harsh on her. Izzy's thoughts were all about how Jace felt and that it was Clary's fault that Jace always got hurt and that he deserved better.

"I'm fine. Lets go." she sniffed throwing her duffel bag over her shoulder and started drawing a rune. She'd left her shields down again.

It's better for everyone that I'm going. I shouldn't say bye to Jace, that'll only make things worse.

Yves and Vic stood awkwardly in the corner watching me comfort her or at least try to as she brushes me off and hops through the portal. Us three leap in after her leaving the Institute and America behind us.
