I looked at them and then to where they said Clary went off to. I put my things down and headed that direction. Izzy and Alec follow me. TJ saw me looking worried and heading over there. He came over with Austin. More the numbers the better. Just in case.
When we went behind the bleachers, we saw Clary standing there alone. But she was talking to someone. But who? I thought I heard her talking to someone when we got closer. She looked at us and then to the spot in front of her.
"Clary what are you doing back here?" Alec asked.
"Johnathan was here. He wanted to talk." She told us.
"What he was here? Like right here?" TJ asked looking around.
"Right in front of me. Right when he knows we were not going to be alone any more he ran. Like he was gone like lighting." She said.
"What did he want to talk about?" I asked.
"About me and my powers. I got to ask questions too. I tried to figure out where he has been. He said everywhere. But he was always near." She told us.
*Clary's POV*
I looked right in front of me again. Right where Johnathan was standing. He was right there. Why didn't I take him down? I wanted my answers more than trying to capture him. Why did he come out now? If he knows everything already then why he was asking me these questions.
"Come on. Lets head home." Jace said.
We headed back to the bleachers to our stuff. I just kept looking around to see if I could see him. I feel like he was still near watching. But nowhere I could see him. Nowhere anyone could see him. But he is near. I can just feel it.
When we got back to the Institution Alec went to talk to his parents to let them know what happened. Izzy went to the computers to see if she tracks him down from where he was last. I just headed to my room I have there. Jace followed me.
"Hey you okay?" He asked me.
I know he has been wanting to ask me that since he found me standing there under the bleachers. I just kept on walking until we were alone in my room. He closed the door behind me.
"No. I am not fine. He was just there. I didn't do anything." I told him.
I was mad at myself for not trying to stop him from leaving. I had my time. But I didn't do it. The Clave was probably thinking I was trying to help him by letting him go.
"Don't beat yourself up. You did everything you could." Jace told me.
"No, I didn't. He got away. I let him. I didn't stop him or anything. I bet the Clave, and everyone thinks I am helping him." I told him truthfully.
"Clary, look at me. If anyone thinks that then they will have to answer to me. The people who really know you and love you knows that you did everything you could. You are a brave strong shadowhunter. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." Jace told me.
