Clary felt herself slip out of the portal and she opened her eyes. Stood before her was her Mum, Maryce, Alec and Issabelle all looking completely baffled. "What's going on?" Joclyn asked. Clary didn't reply she sat George down by her feet and turned to face the portal. If few minutes later Jace appeared and the portal closed behind him. Clary run into his arms and held him tightly. "What an earth happed?" Maryce asked Jace broke away from Clary and bent down to kiss his son.
"The Clave wanted to take George from us. To keep him and raise him as a weapon for their army. They locked us in a room bound to chairs. Clary got us free and we took off after them. She managed to make a new rune, one to put people to sleep. Eventually we found George but the clave is going to come after us so we need to leave." Jace explained. Maryce shook her head "That's ridicules! Surly Robert would never let that happen. After all he is the inquisitor!" Clary shot Issabelle a worried look "He was in on it. Robert sat on the table and watched as they tied us to our chairs and took George away. I don't know what happened to him after that I never saw him again." The room fell silent in disbelief.
"Jace your covered in blood" Alec said. Jace nodded "None of its mine." He added. "Have you packed our things?" Alec pointed to where he had piled up some suitcases and boxes of Georges things. "I've done as much as I can, all essentials and I brought Georges new bed as well. If the Clave is really after you it will keep him safe." Jace thanked Alec and looked towards Clary who had tears streaming down her face "We need somewhere to go" she mumbled. "Somewhere they won't find us." She looked towards her mother and pulled her into a tight hug. Issabelle too had tears in her eyes and Alec was desperately trying his best to hold his back. "I know where you can go" Maryce announced. Jace looked at her, his eyes filled with hope. "There's a small cottage in the middle of the country side" she picked up a folder from the pile of luggage and handed it to Jace. "Robert and I went there when we were young. It was my mother's holiday home, she left it to me when she died. Robert hated the place and insisted that I sold it but I could never do it. I lied to him and told him that I had sold it to a young couple. He believed me and never asked about it since you should be safe there for now. All the details are in the folder. Take it with you so that they won't find anything to indicate where your hiding." Clary broke away from her mother and hugged her mother in law. "Thank you Maryce" she whispered. Jace picked up his son and passed him to Joclyn so she could say goodbye. "Where about's is this cottage?" Jace asked, all heads turned to Maryce to wait for her answer "It's in England."
Joclyn and Issabelle both gasped in shock. Joclyn kissed her grandson on the cheek and passed him to Maryce. "So far away?" she asked "How long for?" Once again the room fell silent. Issabelle sniffled and Jace moved to her side. "don't cry Issy… please" Jace turned to face his brother his face didn't show any emotion. "We need to get this stuff through the portal with us so we need to hold on to it. How do we do that?" Alec smiled "Already figured that out. I've attached Caribbeana hooks on to everything they all just need clipping on the rope." Alec chucked one half of the rope to Jace and together they linked everything up. Clary picked up her son and sat him in his pram with his fluffy blanket snuggled around him. Jace and Alec hooked everything together and clary drew out her stele ready to create a new portal. "How will we know where to go?" she asked Maryce. "Look in the folder theirs some photographs. Picture them and you should be okay." She answered. Clary nodded her head and studied the photographs. She felt a soft hand on her back. She turned round to see Alec behind her. Alec didn't speak instead he pulled her into a hug and held her tightly. A Large thumping sound echoed from the floor below them. "That will be the Clave." Jace declared. "Have you packed us some weapons Alec?" Alec nodded. "As many as I could. You need to go." Clary bent down and began to create the portal. "What about you lot are you all armed?" Jace asked a flash of worry spreading across his face. "Don't worry about us. Just go"
The noise from they had heard was quickly getting louder. Jace could hear the serph blades illuminating in the hands of other shadowhunter's. Clary created the portal and Jace moved to her side. She gripped on to Georges pram and Jace had the rope holding their belongings attached to his belt. Together without looking back the couple stepped through the portal leaving their home, friends and family behind them.
…
The journey through the portal wasn't an easy one Jace struggled to keep hold of their luggage but luckily for him Alec had secured the everything tightly. With a thud Jace and Clary landed face first on to the small decking at the front of the little cottage, with most of their luggage landing on top of them. Clary opened her eyes and realised that she couldn't see her son. "George!" she shouted. In a panic she scrambled to her feet pulling Jace up alongside her. Clary spun round quickly looking for her son and at last she found him seated up right in his pram giggling at his parents whilst clapping his hand. "How did he land like that?" Clary Laughed. Jace let out a sigh of relief "he's amazing just like his dad" Jace laughed. Clary turned to face her husband "Jace your bleeding." Across his cheek a long scratch dripped with blood. He wiped it away with his sleeve "Its fine. Will be healed soon."
The couple looked at the scenery around them. The countryside around them was filled with trees and long grass. No roads could be seen for miles in each direction. Surely they could be safe here. The cottage looked weathered on the outside and defiantly needed a fresh coat of paint but that was the least of their priorities. Clary peered through the windows which where rather dirty. All she could see inside was furniture covered over by dust sheets. Jace rattled the door handle but the door was locked solid, "well that's a good start" he added. Clary rummaged through their luggage and managed to find the folder Maryce had given them. Inside the pile of papers, she found a ring holding 5 keys. She chucked them to Jace who quickly found the correct key and opened the door.
The door creaked open to reveal a small corridor, to the left hand side there was a stair case and one down stairs room and to the right there was 3 more doors each leading to different rooms. As they stepped inside the house the which lights instantly illuminated the house "Which lights. They must have built the house for shadowhunter's only" Clary waited outside with George whilst Jace checked over the house. As they expected The house hadn't been lived in for clearly quiet a long time. Together they loaded all their belongings inside and locked the door behind them. They pulled on all of the curtains shutting out the outside world. "I Guess this is it then." Jace announced "our new home…"
