Later that Day Izzy P.O.V
When I got home my brother was already waiting for me in the library. "Now where the hell were you?"
"I was getting information on the girl," I said nonchalantly turning to leave and go to my room.
"Okay and what did you find…"
I turned around to face my brother. "She has to be the one we saw at the club, she was in the woods drawing, so I sat down and looked at her sketch book and she had drawings of runes in her sketch pad," I said trying to sound confident
Alec shut his eyes and sighed like he was thinking, he paused and said,"Even if she is the girl what are we going to do, 'hey you can see invisible people who fight demons, and you may be one of us.' Did we even think that far."
"That's not the reason you don't like her you're just possessive over Jace and find her as a threat," I said in a harsh whisper, just in case Jace was anywhere around here. I mean im not thrilled about having a girl in here but its work before personal issues, So my brother is just going to have to suck it up.
Alec glanced around the room checking to see if anyone was there, then turned back to me "You know that isn't the case, this girl will have no skills with fighting and will just drag us down." Alec has a point but who said we were going to make her fight anything we just need to make sure that she is safe, we get our answers then poof we are gone out of her life, but that isn't what I said, its like my instincts took over and forced words out of my mouth.
I slammed my hands down the table."Then god damn it alec we will teach her how to fight," and I stormed out of the room, with my conscience nagging at me saying 'haha you think you are just going to disappear, good luck with that' and I slumped my shoulders in defeat, knowing that this girl was going to be a bigger part of our lives than we thought.
Clary P.O.V Monday Morning at school
I sat down for class and waited for the teacher to walk in. When she did she had a boy with blonde hair and golden eyes trailing her. He had this look to his face that said 'I don't want to be here but I have to.' "You guys this is Jace he is new to this class but since we haven't even been in school a full week, so there isn't anything you really need to catch him up on." She glanced around the room and paused on the seat in front of me. "You can sit in front of Clary," she said, pointing to my desk.
Jace followed her finger at looked at me and a smirk spread across his face, he looked back at the teacher and nodded. He sat down in front of me and stared straight ahead.
The teacher kept going on and on about history and I know it's her job but seriously I already learned this stuff years ago all they do is review and review saying next year this and next year that, but whatever at least it stays easy I guess.
I started thinking about Isabelle and the drawings in my sketch pad. "Okay class, I will be right back." When she left the classroom I pulled out my sketch pad and stared at the symbols. I flipped open to a new page and started drawing the night at the pandemonium. The 2 boys with knives and the ribbon-slim girl. When I finished I set it on my desk and looked at it, when I glanced up Jace was staring intently at it and I guess he felt my eyes on him because he looked up at me with a questioning look in his eyes. "Whats that?" he asked
"Umm, nothing," I stated back, wow yeah if I saw someone draw this I wouldn't think was nothing. I must have looked like I was about to run into the hallway screaming because he hesitantly nodded his head and turned back around.
When our teacher finally got back there was only 2 minutes of class left so she let us go early. Doesn't matter anyways my next class was chemistry not like I was looking forward to that.
LUNCH
When it was finally lunch i got in line grabbed mine and Simons food and headed to our table. When he walked in I waved him over and passed him his tray. "Thanks Fray," he said. I smiled at the nick name. "So any of the new kids friends with you yet," he asked jokingly. "Oh ha ha, and no I think I've scared two out of three of them already."
"Wow it's new record."
"Oh shut up," I said jokingly and punched him in the arm.
"Hey, at least we have each other," he replied.
Beep Beep
"Hang on," Simon said as he answered his phone
"Oh, okay, umm yeah give me a few minutes,..." he paused "Okay see you then."
he hung up then looked at me "Hey, my mom has the flu and wants me home, so I will see you tomorrow," he said.
"Yeah, go lunch is almost over anyway, I will just go to the art room or something," I said. When he left the cafeteria I gathered my stuff up and started heading to the art room. When I was in the hallway I heard voices, I normally would shake it off as some teachers but I recognized these voices and they weren't teachers but why would students be in the hallway at lunch. When I got closer I could make at the conversation "No, it's not, you just want it to be her,don't you," said one of the voices, defiantly a boy, "Now why would I do that, this is important and all signs point to her," said the other voice, this one more familiar. I hugged the wall and peered around the corner to see who it was. The first thing I saw was raven black hair, then golden hair. I turned back to the wall, duh how did I not recognize the voices before, it was Jace, Isabelle, and Alec. But what the hell were they talking about. I was so caught up in my thoughts i didn't realize they had stopped talking. When I turned around to peek again they were all staring in my direction at me. shit. I turned and bolted out of there.I don't know why I was running it's not like I committed a crime, I guess I didn't want to be caught. I didnt even know where I was running I mean I had already left school grounds.
It wasnt until I was at a familiar street did I stop running. Wow that was lame, I know I shouldn't ditch school but it was already well into the next period and there was only one period after that and it was science. I wouldn't be missing much. Once my breathing had slowed I looked around and headed into the java jones across the street.
When I was sitting at a table with my coffee I finally fully relaxed. But then I remembered the conversation they were having in the hallway, I didnt here much of it but what the hell were they talking about.
When I finally got home neither Luke or my mom were there so I set my bag down and went to go get a snack. When I finally settled on an apple and went to grab my sketch pad I couldn't find it. I set my apple on the table and looked through my bag one more time and came up empty handed, and then I remembered at history class I was so distracted at Jace seeing my picture that I must have left it there.
At least I know where it is, so I shouldn't freak out. Just hopefully nobody looks through it. I have been having weird dreams of people,symbols,and creatures and the only way for me not to go crazy is to draw them, so if someone looks at it I'm doomed. But it was my history teacher I reminded myself, she has this thing of saying like everybody forgets something, so she usually puts it on her desk for someone to come for it. This seemed to calm me down a bit. I picked up my apple and went to my bedroom.
Izzy P.O.V
"Now why would I do that, this is important and all signs point to her," Jace said
"he has a point Alec don't-" I cut myself off, Jace and Alec seemed to get it and they strained to listen, there was someone in the hallway too, I pointed to the corner where the other halway starts. Jace nodded and we all stared. A head turned to look our way but seeing our eyes quickly looked away and we could tell... bolted like hell out of there, leaving a trail of red hair following. I turned towards Jace with a worried expression, and he seemed to be thinking the same thing how much did she hear. Alec put his hand on his head and looked at us "well shit, guys if she is the girl we better hope she didnt here a lot or else we arent getting anywhere near her without her turning and running," and then he left. Jace looked at me "He isn't thrilled about her."
I sighed and then turned to start walking towards the cafeteria, but before I did I said to Jace with my back still turned to him "neither am I" then I walked off to the cafeteria.
At the Institute
"So if she is her, by now I'm almost 100% sure how are we going to get her and find out what's up with her," I said.
"Can we discuss it after we go check out the school," Alec said
I took a quick glance at him and threw my hands up in defeat "Fine,whatever lets go"
It was now 9:00pm and we were in gear and about to go check out a part of the school that Alec said had demon activity over there earlier. So we got in the elevator.
On our way down I said aloud to no one in particular "Why would there be demon activity at a school I mean wouldn't there to many witnesses for a demon"
Jace of course was the one who replied " I don't know but whatever it is it can't be good"
When we got to the school it wasn't hard to get in. Once we were walking down the hallway Alec guided us to where he the demon activity last was earlier today. But once we got to the room nothing was in there. Jace pulled out his sensor and walked around the room with it, then he looked at us and shook his head "There was some demon activity, but it was earlier ,whatever was in here is gone now, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to check out the whole school."
"You're just looking for something to kill," I said
"Well we came all the way over here might as well try to find something to kill," He replied
As we walked down the hallway we glanced in every classroom, just in case the sensor didn't pick something up. But there never was anything we were always coming up empty handed until we got to our last hallway. The sensor started going crazy I glanced at Alec then at Jace, they both nodded our sign for get against the wall and get ready. We opened the door and went in. There were 5 eidolin demons, but they were disguised as students, thats what all the activity was. The fight didn't last long especially with caught off guard demons. After I put my whip away I glanced around the room we were in. Jace doing the same thing. "Oh this is my history class," he said glancing around until his eyes stopped on something on the ground. He bent down to pick it up. I walked over to him "Jace, what is it" I asked.
"It's Clary's sketch book," he said
"Might as well take it and give it to her tomorrow, then maybe she will talk to us" I suggested.
"What harm could be done," Jace said shrugging his shoulders.
We were all sitting around the library table with Clary's sketch pad in the middle. "So who wants to look first" I said. We all glanced around each other Jace shrugged "I will, I guess". He grabbed the sketch pad and started flipping through the pages, his expression didn't change much so i was guessing he wasnt finding anything helpful until he stopped flipping and looked at one picture then the next page and the next page he had the same confused expression. "Jace, what is it" Alec said. Jace didnt answer he just kept flipping through the pages. "Jace what is it," I said. He shook his head and passed the sketchpad towards us "Just, look" he said. Alec and I both leaned closer to look at the sketchpad. After looking through a couple of pages I stopped and stood up. This girl had drawn the silent brothers, us at the pandemonium, seraph blades, demons, and runes. "Okay we know it's obviously her, but now what."
"Well now we can stop going to that awful mundane school" Alec said.
"Yeah but what about the girl," Jace said.
"Listen right now is not the time to break the news to her, we should give it a few days of thinking before we go after this girl," I said.
hey sorry my brother broke my computer and it took us awhile to get another one but anyways I'm back and sorry for any bad spelling I typed so e of it on my Ipad and the autocorrect is just awful. And since I was absent I think instead of doing one long one at the end of the week I will do a bunch oa regular sized ones through out the week, just because I'm behind on the story
