We were walking down the hallway. Just then we both heard a thud down the hallway. We both took a running towards it. We turned the corner to see Clary standing there. I ran right up to her. I asked,

"Clary, what is wrong?"

I see Clary with her foot on Austin's throat. I couldn't help but stand there and be proud.

"What is alright anymore?" I asked him.

"What do you mean?" He asked me confused.
