Clary's POV:

"I think i'm going to call you Red. Do you like that?" she asked Red, wondering if she finally was going insane. She was naming a giant bird. But suprisingly, she felt Red purr again and she knew Red couldn't be a normal bird. Red somehow understood her, and she defintly understood Red.

Her options were so much wider now, that she didn't really know what to do. Red was still flying away from the castle, when the thought accured to her;

Yadiel would be looking for her soon.

Jace POV:

They had been living with Olaf for a day now.

He and Maia were both dressed in simple outfits:

Maia in brown pants, a pair of black boots, a simple white shirt and a black vest. She had refused wearing the dress they had offered her.

He was wearing black leather shoes, grey pants, a white shirt very simulare to the form of a t-shirt, and a black leather jacket. He thought they both looked like they came from an old western. He chuckled a bit at this thought, while heading down to the kitchen where Olaf would be sitting, probably with his wife Maria. Maia followed him down.

The kitchen was just as old fashioned as the rest of the town, and sitting in it was like sitting in a live museum. Not really comftertable. He half expected a museum guide to come chase him away from all the old furniture, any minute.

"Any news?" Maia asked Olaf.

Olaf shook his head.

"No, but i am still trying to convince people. I already have five men who are willing to break into the castle with us."

Olaf looked very pleased with himself, as Maria looked at him with sparkeling eyes. Jace was getting impatient and very nervous... He had no clue if Clary really was in the castle, and if she was and they got her out, the time would still be so short. She could be dead now. She could be dying this very minute.

"Olaf. We need to do this tonight." Jace said and then waited for his reaction.

...

To Jace's advantage, he took it well.

" I'm not suprised, i know you guys have limited time down here. So i agree, we do it tonight. I'll get the team, and we'll go though the plan."

Maia gave Jace a sharp look, but didn't say anything.

They both watched as Olaf left the kitchen, and heard him as he shut the front door...

Isabelle's POV:

Her heart felt heavy as she spotted the first smoke. That had to mean the town was near by. And sure enough, they began passing houses. Just single ones, then a couple in a row, and then suddenly they where standing in a little olden-times villiage. Silently, they walked through it, and when she thought it was time to say goodbye to Eric, Ella and the rest of the people, something exstrodinary happened:

She spotted Maia. She was dressed very old fashioned and had a weary expression on her face.

Issabelle hurried over to her.

"Maia?"

Maia turned her head, and her face lit up.

"Issabelle? It's really you. Huh, lucky coinsidence."

"Why are you dressed like that? where's Jace?"

"Long story. Come with me."

" Wait, i need to get Alec and Magnus with me."

"Alec? he's awake? what about Simon?"

"Long story too, i'll tell you somewhere else.."

"kay. Btw, who are all these people?"

Isabelle explained it to Maia as quick as possible, and Maia seemed to get an idea.

"Can you get them to stay here? Just one night?" she asked exited.

Isabelle nodded.

She talked to Eric and Ella. Told them to stay here overnight. They agreed, luckly, so no problem there. Then she fetched Alec and Magnus and followed Maia into a little house, wich was also very old fashioned. They met up with Jace and they were introduced to Olaf, his wife Maria, and his two children: Jenny and Christian. They exchanged stories, and they got " the plan" explained. Isabelle told Eric all about it, and he promised to tell the people about it, so they had a chance to do it. Ella and Eric had already agreed to help. Then, everything got bad.

"What's happened to Simon?" Maia asked. Nobody seemed to be able to answer the question, when finally, Alec started to speak.

Isabelle really only captured one single word:

Dead.

...

Clary's POV:

Red was now flying over a little villiage, with small cute houses. She didn't know why, but she knew she had a good feeling about it. She had to get down there. Qustion was, how? Was she supposed to ask Red to land or how did she get down? ... aparently, just thinking it made Red drop several meters until they were only just flying above the roofs of the houses. Smart. They hit the ground and Clary gratefully got of Red's back. She liked flying on Red, but she felt shaky and totally spent from the small climb she had managed. Her arms and legs were killing her. She looked around, looking for something. What she was looking for she didn't know.

Jace POV:

As he looked out of the window, thinking about Simon, he saw it. A big red/orange/yellow coloured bird. It was really beautifull, and moved gracefully. Then his body froze just for a couple of second when he saw who was sitting on it. He didn't say anything, but just rushed out the door and ran towards the bird, and her.

"Clary."

That's it for now, i'll update as soon as possible.. and please review if you have anything to say ;-)
