So I hope the story is going slightly like you except, but I also want to keep some surprises. Lol. So I guess if things aren't going the way you want, just let me know and I can try to explain my crazy ideas.
Okayy, well, here goes nothing.
PREVISOULY: I run back down one flight of stairs, to the girls floor. I run through the door and see that the rooms here are numbered in the forties. Great! I think and run down the hall heading lower in numbers. I finally get to room 21 and take out my key, get inside and lock the door. I look up as Arianne, Izzy and Mia stare at me with worry, written all over their faces.
I stand against the door, trying to catch my breath and not meeting anyone's stares.
"Clary, what's wrong? You okay?" Arianne asks, walking towards me.
"Ohh yeah. I'm fine. Just wanted a workout so I ran up and down the stairs. No biggie." I say like its nothing heading over to my bed that holds my duffle bag full of stuff.
"Ran the steps?" Izzy asks with shock. I just nod and shrug while I rummage through my duffle.
"Is that your only bag?" She asks. "Yeah. I don't have much stuff. It's all I need, just this and my bag." I say looking around and "SHIT!" I yell.
"What's wrong now Clary?" Mia asks with concern.
"My bag. I must have left it on one of the landings. I'll just get it later. I need a shower." I say while grabbing towels out of my duffle and head towards the bathroom.
"Hold on. I'll help you turn it on. It's a bitch and a bit confusing." Arianne says with a smile. "And guys, I've been thinking. All of you have short, sweet nicknames. I want one too." she adds and puts her hands on her hips. "Any way to shorten my name?"
"Anna?" Mia suggests.
"or Air?" Izzy says with a laugh.
"What about Airy?" I say with a smile.
"YES! Airy. I love it. That's my name now and you all must use it. It's now Airy and Clary best roommates ever!" the newly named Airy says with a laugh and more enthusiasm than I think is necessary.
She then pulls me into the bathroom and shows me how it take two hands to turn the shower knob and that to change the water temperature you have to push in then turn. I say thanks and she hugs me and leaves. The walls are pretty thin so I can hear the girls continue their conversation.
"Ran the stairs, for fun. Lost her bag and doesn't really care. And only has one duffle of stuff. She's kinda weird. Don't ya guys think?" Izzy asks
"Izzy, some people like running. And not everyone has to have a lot of stuff to be happy. And she said she would go get her bag after her shower. She's fine if you ask me." Airy says while sounding bored.
"But have you guys noticed she tends to space out? Like stare at something and kinda check out? What's that about?" Mia adds.
"We all can space out and we are all weird. I like her!" Airy says defending me again, I know we are going to be good friends.
"Yeah but…" Izzy starts but I tune out. I hate this part. Hearing what everyone really thinks of you. It's the same every time when moving somewhere. But what sucks the most is I don't have a cell phone or anything to distract myself. My mom (Jocelyn) and step-father, but I just call him my father because he's been around since I can remember (Luke), agreed that it was for my better interest if I didn't have anything that would distract me, including music.
As, I just sit in the shower letting the warm water run all over me, I start to worry about what Jace said earlier. The whole my father has people here and that I can't trust certain people. But why should I trust him? I don't know him? He doesn't know me? Or does he? He did know about my powers and know that I need to worry about my father.
Ick, my father. He has been trying to kidnap me since we found out about my powers when I was around five. Mom and Dad (I refer to Luke as dad) were finally talking about getting married. We were sitting in the living room, I was coloring while they discussed details. Luke was getting ready to ask me if I wanted to be flower girl but before he could say the words out loud, I squealed and ran across the room and jumped into his lap and said that I would be honored to do it. They both looked at me surprised and asked how I knew what he was going to ask, and I looked confused. "What do you mean 'what you were going to ask'? Didn't you ask?" I asked. "No hunny, we never said it out loud." Mom said slightly worried. "We need to take her to Magnus, now, Jocelyn. Maybe she's getting her powers." Luke said as he picked me up and grabbed my jacket and his keys to the truck. When we got to Magnus Bane's, The High Warlock of Brooklyn, (we were living in New York at the time), he confirmed I was getting my powers. He warned my parents that I was going to have extra powers and that we needed to monitor how they develop.
It was during the wedding, a few weeks later, when my father first showed. He flew down with his black wings and amazing face, and tried to pick me up from where I was asleep in the first row in Magnus' lap. Magnus luckily repelled him with a shield and that's when I woke up and screamed. Top of my lungs, ear shattering, worse than nails on chalkboard, scream. Mom went crazy and tried to stab my father with a sword she hid under her dress, like she was excepting this. Dad turned into a werewolf and jumped towards my father all while I was in Magnus' lap, protected in a shield. "Take her Magnus. We will catch up." Mom yelled and then Magnus and I were in a little house on a beach. I was losing it, nothing Magnus did calmed me down until he lifted all my toys and me off the ground creating blue sparks on his finger tips. I thought it was the best thing ever. He even let me try to do it, I could levitate one toy but if I tried for a second one, I dropped it. I was so proud of myself, I kept trying until I fell asleep. I spent three days on that beach with Magnus trying to levitate things, until my parents came to get me.
My parents came and after they held me for about an hour, they explained that we had to go into hiding because I was a extra special child. All I asked was if dad was officially my dad. Mom laughed and dad just looked at me and said no, they didn't get officially married. Magnus said that just would not do, so he threw together a super quick wedding, like in two hours, while I moved the flowers down the aisle and showed off my new power. Magnus married my parents and taught my parents protective spells and he left. We stayed at the house on the beach for another year before I was old enough to go to school.
I come out of my memories by a voice in my head. It was then I realized I was slowing crying."Clary, are you alright? I'm sorry if I worried you earlier. Clary?"
"Ohh yeah. I'm fine Jace. But have you seen my bag? I think I left it in the greenhouse or something." I reply stretching and realizing that the water is no longer warm. I rinse my face and turn off the water.
"Yeah. I have it. I'm dropping it by your room now." he says. I jump out of the shower and wrap a towel around my hair then my body while he says "It's on your door knob." and I just stop. "Ohh. Thanks. You can come in if you want." I say hoping I don't sound too sad. "No. It's not good for us to be around each other. I'm sorry." and he was gone. I could tell because my mind felt different, like there was more room or something.
I walk out of the bathroom and see the three girls sitting in a circle braiding hair. I slightly giggle at the sight. I hear Izzy thinking about my hair, she wants to braid it. So after I get dressed, I ask if I can join them but don't really know how to braid. All three girls are excited. Izzy sets me in the middle of the floor and starts brushing my hair and Airy sits next to me with Mia in front of her. Izzy starts to braid my hair and Airy teaches me how to braid using Mia as a model. We hear a knock at the door and Airy yells "Come in."
