Clary P.O.V

I tried to open my eyes, but even that was a hard struggle. It felt like someone was holding my eyes down trying to make me go back to sleep. So instead I sat up and rubbed my eyes, when they finally opened I glanced around the room I was in. Almost everything was white, the beds, the walls, and the floor. I tried to remember what had happened when the events had come pouring on me. I looked at my shoulders and my stomach but nothing was there, not even a scratch. I notice a stack of clothes with a piece of paper on it.

Here are some clothes. We had to burn your old ones. Sorry about that.

Great. I pick up the clothes and head to one of the bathrooms nearby. It was a pair of jeans, with a red V-neck and a black leather jacket. I walked out of the bathroom and into the hallway. But I might as well have walked into a maze. I went up and down hallways until I was just down right confused. Was there even anyone here? I went down one more hallway until I heard something like pots and pans being clattered. I followed the noise and ended up in the kitchen. In took me a second to remember there was someone in here. I glanced around and spotted someone in the pantry rummaging through it. I walked over to them but didn't male a sound. When I got to them I noticed the hair. It was Isabelle but she seemed to be so lost in trying to find something she didn't pay me any mind. "Alec," she started "Do you know where-," and she spun around. "You're not Alec." She said. I shook my head. "Well as long as you are awake and here I might as well take you to the library, Hodge has been waiting to speak to you," she said.

"Hodge?" I asked.

"I assumed Jace had told you but yes Hodge, our mentor." Oh, I thought. I was trying to think why she would assume that but then I remembered that Jace was gone for a long time but it wasn't to tell me information.

When we walked I tried to make a mental note of the hallways we went down. "So, do you have any parents?" I asked just trying to make small talk.

"Yeah, they are in Idris though with my younger brother though."

"Idris?" I asked, just getting more curious.

"Yeah, it's like shadowhunters home town, like how New york is yours," She said as if that summed everything up. But I just nodded my headed not wanting to push it.

"And here we are," she said opening up two doors. We walked in; I let a gasp out of my mouth. This place was huge.

"You finally woke up," said a voice, I followed the sound and found Alec and Jace both lounging in some chairs, But it was the old man next to thehath at had said it. "Excuse me where are my manners, I'm Hodge," he said holding out his hand, I shook it .

"That tiny thing killed a demon," Alec said with an unimpressed tone.

Wait what did he say, I took a moment to breathe before I yelled, "That thing was a demon!" I exclaimed. I shook the comment about how small I was aside, that thing was on top of me and nearly killed me.

"Well, yes, what did you think it was," Jace said, trying not to laugh obviously.

"I thought it was a monster or something, but I guess I didn't really think about it. But when I picture demons I picture like evil ghosts," I said.

"No demons are far from ghosts,"Jace said smiling, he found this funny, that thing had nearly killed me, at least it only knocked me out for- how long was I asleep.

"Wait how long was I out?" Now I was worried, I forgot about Luke, Simon and my Mom.

"Well," Isabelle answered this time, "we got you on Saturday and now it's Tuesday, so about 3 days." 3 days, I had to call Luke.

"Do you guys have a phone, I need to call someone," I begged. Hodge pointed to the phone on his desk, I walked over to it and dialed Luke's number. It took a minute for him to pick up.

"Hello"

"Luke!"

"Clary!, where are you, are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, but Luke who is Valentine and what does he want with my mom?"

"It doesn't concern you, just stay out of it, and don't call back."

"Luke, wait" But the line was dead.

I hung up the phone. "Damn," I shouted.

"Clary, what do you mean Valentine," I turned around and saw everyone looking at me but it was Jace who had spoken.

"When I was talking to my mom she said that somebody named Valentine had found her and to tell Luke," I said in a low sad tone, "But," I say extending the t in the word but, with an almost sigh at the end ,"Luke apparently, doesn't care what happens to me or my mom," I say trying to sound casual. I turned back towards the phone expecting Luke to call back but I knew it was hopeless when I turned back to face them Izzy was leaving saying she was going to order Chinese food, Alec was still lounging in the chair with hostile eyes, Jace was staring at me with a sad expression on his face but it quickly disappeared as he met my eyes, and Hodge had pity in his.

"Do you think we could go back to my apartment, to check stuff out, to see any evidence of my real heritage?" I looked at Hodge, part of me wanted to look at Jace, to ask him but this a wasn't his call, it was Hodge's.

"You can't go alone and I'm not sure-" He replied but was cut off by Jace.

" I could take her, it wouldn't be a problem," He said. Hodge and I looked at him even Alec. Sure, I hadn't known Jace long but I knew this was out of his character.

"Okay then, but leave tomorrow, the sun is almost setting and that way you will have more time," He said looking at the both of us. I couldn't keep the smile off my face this was the first good news in awhile and sure it may not be much but it was something. I quickly nodded and exited the library.

Hey quick short chapter next one should be up tomorrow or the next and sorry for not updating I had a friend staying over and my honor society induction ceremony but no matters I'm back.
