This is the first Chapter of today, expect one more later today . : )

Isabelle's Point Of View

Simon held Izzy's hand as the carriage crossed the streets of London. The curtain had been drawn back and the sight of the foreign city had instantly captured Isabelle's interest. After the boys had left, Charlotte had gone to wake up one last shadowhunter, Jessamine Lovelace

, and had ordered her to join them. She was very pretty, almost doll like as she sat with her hands on her lap and her hair in soft golden ringlets. She was to some intent the very opposite of Isabelle. Where Isabelle was all darkness and mystery with her curves and fierce beauty, Jessamine was soft and delicate looking with light radiating from her. Even in their attitudes Jessamine lacked the intense passion that made Isabelle glow, only demonstrating a coldness that clashed with her light. Simon shifted and his seat and drew Isabelle out of her thoughts. He was staring uneasily at the other girl, Teressa Grey, whom at first glance seemed dull next to her companions. The beauty behind Teressa was harder to spot since she was very quiet and seemed to enjoy the lack of attention. Yet there was a more natural beauty to her abnormal grey eyes and she seemed to radiate warmth and kindness, not to mention her intelligence. Isabelle wondered how they would look in some modern clothes. It would bring out their figures and make their movements faster and easier. The carriage finally came to a stop and they all got down, following Jessamine to a barely opening store. The owner was friendly enough, especially after seeing the way Jessamine and Teressa were dressed. Her mouth dropped open as she took in Isabelle and Simon but she quickly retreated to the back and let them be. Isabelle took Simon to the men's area and started to pull up garments, confident in her sense of fashion, even if it was a bit out of time. Jessamine and Teressa began to pull up dresses only to discard them after a moment. Isabelle took the time and bit of privacy to talk to Simon.

"Isn't it a bit weird that out of all the places we could have come we ended up here ." Isabelle breathed out her hands trying to adjust the collar of the vest she had put on Simon.

"What do you mean by that ? " He said just as quietly, trying his hardest not to fidget under the uncomfortable garment .

"I mean what are the chances that we would find our descendants here ? William Herondale is basically the great great great great great great grandfather of Jace. Charlotte Branwell was actually a Fairchild so she is related to Clary. And she is also the first woman to hold power in the clave. They even mentioned knowing the Lightwoods so my dead family is also somewhere around here. "

Isabelle stepped back and started to reach for some more clothing, trying to calculate her brother's sizes.

"I hadn't thought about that before but you are right. This is so cool Izzy! We actually traveled through time !" He jumped like a little kid as he said this and Isabelle chuckled. After the war with Sebastian, their relationship had been steadily growing up to the point were Isabelle couldn't see a future without the vampire nerd next to her. They spent around half an hour getting the boys clothing before moving on to the gowns. Jessamine had already separated some but Izzy made quick work of them and started to grab some more. The material and design were so pretty that Isabelle ended up getting around twenty dresses. The other girls were shocked at this display but said nothing. Before they could pay, simon stepped forward and offered the cashier and offered her a 50 dollar bill. Her eyes grew round and she took the money with immense joy. She even gave Simon some change . They had to make several rounds to get all the bags back to the carriage and most of them had to be put on the roof. Jessamine had grown softer while they shopped and offered to take a walk around the now bustling city before heading back to the Institute. They all agreed and set off down the street, stopping at a little restaurant to get some tea to warm them since it was a bit chilly. Isabelle leaned into Simon, feeling all the stress leave her body as she walked down the streets of London with the love of her life. It was when she was must relaxed that she noticed the three guys behind them. They were walking separately but they gave off the same vibe and their faces all held the same vacant look. Isabelle turned a corner and was not surprised to see them do the same. Isabelle let out her best laugh and let her hair fly behind her turning to look at her companions.

"Act normal, we are being followed." She said in a quiet voice making sure not to lose her smile. Simon followed her lead perfectly but Teressa stumbled and grew rigid, Jessamine becoming closed off once again.

"It might just be your clothing that attracts them ."Jessamine said turning as if to look at Isabelle but really turning to see the man.

"No, I'm certain that they are following us to attack us." Simon said, having just spotted them. Jessamine urged them to walk faster and expertly led them away from the crowds and into a deserted alley. The three men had been joined by three more and they stood before the shadowhunters with their eyes still blank. Isabelle let her whip extend, Jessamine and Teressa just looked alarmed. It dawned on Isabelle that they must not have any weapons on them and she silently cursed, realizing that it was just her against the six men. Simon stepped in front of the two women, obviously putting himself as a shield, and Isabelle smiled. It wasn't just her. It would never just be her , because for now and ever Simon would be by her side. The men all moved at the same time, and Isabelle noticed something off about them. As soon as the struck the first one she realized what it was. The men looked like humans, but under the first layer of skill was metal.

"Holy shit , Izzy they're robots!" SImon said as he pounced on the first men. Isabeel would have responded but the man had gained aggressiveness and they all rushed at them. Isabelle lashed her whip and pulled a dagger from her shoe, cutting and whipping anything that got near her. The man were definitely getting wounded but no matter how badly Isabelle hurt them, they just kept attacking. Simon was doing better since the men were attacking with the intent of killing. Any man that got away from his deadly strength and speed and tried to kill Simon were instantly killed by the Mark of Cain. Already two men laid at his feet, while Isabelle hardly managed to stay out of their reach. She jumped and kicked of the wall doing a backflip at the same time as she let her whip grasp around the head of a man. The inertia that carried her through the backflip was strong enough to take off the head of the robot, and even though it initially kept struggling with one more stab from her dagger the man fell. Isabelle rushed at the next one and managed to side step its attack and duck under his arm. She did the same one more time, resulting in the main being tied up by her whip. She pulled and the whip cleanly sliced the man in half.

Simon looked at Isabelle and they both ran at their next opponent. Isabelle threw the end of the whip careful not to hurt Simon as he rabed the edge of the whip. They managed to cut the man in half. Isablee turned back to look at the woman. Teressa was throwing up and jessamine was blushed and flustered. Jessamine was the first to regain her composure and she started to lead them back to the carriage.

"Those things, had either of you seen them before?" Isabelle asked, the image of their unnatural bodies invading her mind.

"Yes, they attacked us once before, when I was with Jem." Teressa said, heir voice soft but her face conflicted.

"Well let's get out of here before anymore come ." Isabelle said climbing back into the carriage followed by the girls and Simon.

" The ride back to the Institute was quiet, each person lost in thought. All except for Simon.

"Do you know what those creatures were ?"

"No"

"Do you know what they want ?"

'No"

Simon continued to ask questions the whole ride to the institute, not really gaining any useful information. They finally got to their sanctuary bu before Isabelle could begin to untie the bags from the roof Jace threw the doors opened and rushed towards Isabelle.

"Something happened to Alec!"
