Rebekah
"What makes you very interesting Rebekah Fray."
Jace words are running through my head as I'm following Isabelle to one of the many spare rooms in this very beautiful building. After saying those words I blushed and Jace gold eyes seemed to be stuck on me till Alec grabbed his attention mentioning that they need to update Hodge, and if I'm being honest with myself I like Jace's eyes on me. Karla had a smirk on her face while Simon had a sour look that Karla spotted making her glare at him. Isabelle who was also sporting a smirk, asked me to follow her while the boys take Karla and Simon with them while they update Hodge.
"Here's your room." Isabelle said. We walked into the room which was plain with white walls. "It's not much for now, once you've settled in you can make it your own." And with that she started walking towards the door. But before she let I heard. "I hope your not a distraction for my brother."
"Alec?" She has nothing to worry about the dude hates me. But the smirk on her face lets me know she wasn't talking about Alex but Jace.
"Jace was very distracted and as you seen at Pandemonium distractions get us killed." And with a wink she left me in my room alone.
I sigh now that I'm alone and try to push the tears away that's been building since Isabelle and I left the infirmary. Why couldn't my mother trust me to enough to tell me? Why did she hide a cup from Valentine? Who is Valentine? Who am I to trust now that Luke showed he can't be and has never cared about us? But really the big question is, Why does everyone think I know where the cup is if my mother done everything in her power to keep the Shadow world from me? I lay back before quickly sitting back up at the knock on my door. Standing there is Jace leaning in the doorway arms crossed.
"You ok?" He asked. I looking away from him shaking my head no. Holding a hand out. "Come on."
I get up wiping my tears before taking his hand. Walking the halls in silence I couldn't stand it so I decided to start a conversation with the sarcastic blonde.
"So is the institute big enough to house this many people?"
Walking through the hall was difficult to do with so may people coming from every direction. I haven't seen the whole building, I don't think there's a time for that.
"Well we are bound by law to take in all Shadowhunters." We turned a corner into a room filled with computers and equipment. "We can house at least two-hundred people."
I whistled at the amount this building can lodge. "Well from what I seen, the rooms looked pretty empty." We walked into a room that held all types of weapons. A few that quite scare me.
"Hodge doesn't seem to be here. Come on." We went back out the room and instead of going left where we came from we went right. "Hopefully Hodge is in the Institute library, if not then he's in the green house, hope your not allergic to anything."
"No I'm not." I confirmed.
"Anyway those rooms were empty because you were in the residential wing." We stopped at a set of very big doors that Jace pushed opened and my jaw dropped at the beautiful room.
"Holy wow."
I heard Jace chuckle before walking down the steps. The room had floor to ceilings windows, huge staircases, ladders and bookshelves. The huge staircases lead to a second floor with more bookcases. The room though very bright had big heavy curtains that looks like if you shut them the room could be very dark. Fireplace to the left with U-shape couch wrapped around it, tables and chairs in corners so you can be alone without being disturbed. And in the middle a very long table I have ever seen is being held up by angels. But what really caught my attention was the big circled door.
I walked towards it. But jumped back when Jace moved to shut the doors.
"What the hell?"
Jace closing the door spun the red ball that's in the middle of the door to lock it.
"It's portal." He moved me back. "It's a way to travel to other portals. They can take to wherever you want. Well that's not true, the one in our home country are protected and will set off the alarms the Clace have set."
"You Shadowhunters have a home country?" He nod he his back telling me to follow him.
At the edge of the table set a globe, which Jace spun till he stopped it and pointed. Right there between Germany and France that's very small in gold letters states the country Idris.
"Ok, One I never heard of it and Two, I could've swear I never seen it on our mundane maps." I told him. He scoffed.
"You wouldn't have." Spinning the globe. "There's a reason for that once you cross one border you'll only cross into the next and you mundanes will know no difference."
"So if Idris is your home, how come you Shadowhunters are here living in New York?" I placed my finger on the globe stopping it from spinning. " Is it because your sent on missions?"
And before Jace can say anything, another voice filled the room.
"That's because we Shadowhunters are placed where we are told to be." Looking over Jace shoulder is a well built man with a dark red circle on the left side of his neck.
"Hi! I'm Rebekah-"
"Fray, your Jocelyn daughter." I gave him a smile and nodded.
"You know my mother?" My mom never mentioned anyone name Hodge. Well my mom never said a lot of things.
"We were all friends once."
Seeing my confused look he walked over to the middle of the table. In the middle was a book with a wall off glass around it. The book looks something like a picture book and Hodge lift the glass taking hold of the book. Walking back towards me he was flipping through pages before turning the book so I can see the picture.
"Oh my god!" I pull the book closer to my face. "That's my mom and Luke." I pointed to the man to the right of my mom. "Who's that?"
"That man next to your mother is her husband Valentine."
