THANK YOU animalkid99. I so very appreciate your review and I will appreciate everyone elses. I still am working on my school speech so I might not write very often. I will also review your stories if you have any in return just tell me your story and I'll review! But anyway here is my next chapter! :)

When they reached the institute, Hodge Starkweather was standing there waiting for them. "I got your message ,Magnus. Your information was very useful, Sterling." He said with a nod.

He welcomed them in. As they sat down, a pair of eyes stared at them. Hodge stared at the pair of eyes. "Simon has been bitten by a vampire." He said uncertainly. She nodded. "So about that power of yours.

Magnus has just informed me about it. You can change your form, am I right?" Hodge asked. She nodded, glaring at Magnus. Magnus shrugged. "You may look around the institute. Isabelle will show you around." He said, as the rebellious looking girl came in view

. Sterling nodded silently. As she followed the girl, was painfully reminded of her home. She shook her head. This was her new life, she thought. Isabelle stared at her. "Not much of a talker are you?" She asked. "Not really." Sterling said lamely, shrugging. "Well,you chose the right side to go with. Although the Clave don't trust you. Well, they don't trust anyone. No wonder why they have such a bad reputation."she snorted. Sterling smiled.

When they turned the corner, three boys and a girl were all standing there talking. A blonde haired boy caught sight of them and waved. "So is this Sterling daughter of De Quincey one of the biggest supporter of Mortmain?" The blonde boy siad. "Shut up Jace." Isabelle said irritatedly.

"Hi I'm Clary."the girl with the brown hair said. "Hello." Sterling said stiffly. "She's not much of a talker Clary." Isabelle told her. "I thought vampires were chatty and obnoxiously annoying downworlders. " Jace joked. Isabelle glared at him.

But then Sterling did something that suprised everybody,even herself. She started laughing. They all stared at her stunned. Then Magnus appeared.

"I'm surprised you got her to laugh. She never laughed before." Magnus said, surprise in his voice. Sterling glanced at them."I'll wait for you in the car." She said hurrying off.

She sat on her bed deep in thought. There was a knock at the door. "Come in." She said. Magnus opened the door. "I can't believe you laughed. I mean, I knew you would laugh sooner or later but from a group of shadow hunters?" Magnus said, bewildered. "Is De Quincey really my father?" Sterling asked quietly. Magnus frowned. "Now that you asked that, K am wondering if De Quincey really was your father." Magnus said. "Well, you better get some rest. We have a big day tomorrow."
