"Alec, Alec, Alec, Alec..", Isabelle Lightwood ran through the hallways of her home, the New York Institute shouting her brother's name like a woman possessed.
"Izzy, calm down, what happened?", her brother asked her as she finally entered his office.
"The Inquisitor just send an official notice. Jace is cleared. He's coming home", Izzy said excited that finally after more than 6 months her brother was coming back.
Though much more satisfying than the news was the way Alec's entire face lit up knowing that soon his brother will be home again. After Valentine's arrest, he had confessed in front of the Clave that Jace was indeed not his son and that he was rather the heir of the Herondale family and the Inquisitor's own grandson. But the officials had not been convinced by just the word of a psychopath, so they had demanded a total and in depth inquiry about the same. This has resulted in Jace being forced to stay in the Herondale mansion away from his siblings and his home.
But now Jace was cleared and the Silent Brothers have proved that Jace was without a doubt a Herondale, he was coming back home. And his siblings could not be more ecstatic.
There were going to be problems. Most of the people at the Institute did not yet know about this new development. They just thought that Jace was in Idris and that he was being tried for his association with Valentine and for crimes against the Clave. It would take time for them to respect Jace again.
And then there was the issue of Clary, although she and Simon had broken up after only two months of dating, Isabelle did not know how she will take the news that Jace was not her brother and that this had been kept hidden from her for nearly 6 months. But for now as Izzy hugged Alec, the only person who missed Jace more than she did, she knew that everything would be all right.
And if something did go wrong, they will face it as they always did, together.
