Clary's P.O.V

"So what are you going to do?" Isabelle Lightwood said as I sipped my coffee, staring blankly ahead at her waiting for some sort of reaction.

I was currently sitting in Taki's. A restaurant that only people from the shadow world knew about. To everyone else it looked like a run down building, but inside it was a very successful joint filled with great food and refreshments.

I gave Isabelle a look before answering, "I don't know that's why I asked you." I took another sip of my coffee.

"Ok here is my other question why did you decide to tell me and not Jace?"

I turned my back to her and silently answered, "Because I know what he would say." I turned back towards her and waited for a response.

She contemplated about this for a couple seconds finishing her smoothie (How she could have a cold drink at this time of year bewildered me).

As the last couple of drops were out she looked at me again and said, "Do you want an honest answer?"

I shook my head yes,

"Well then you should do it." I stared at her blankly, how could she say that?

"Isabelle..." She cut me off before I could say anything more,

"You wanted an honest answer and you got one. I don't like this idea either but if it is to keep you safe, you should do it." She stood up and started walking out the door. Before doing so she added,

"This is what I believe and don't go to Simon or Jace expecting a different answer." I watched her figure get farther and farther away from me, dreading that what she said was true.

...

I walked outside once again greeted with the cold November almost December air. I decided to make my way to the Institute without using a portal or calling a cab I just wanted time to think.

Luckily the Institute was only about a 25 minute walk from Taki's so I did not have to stay outside very long.

I walked up to the doors and knocked on the door just before realizing that I didn't have to, but it seemed like the proper way to enter your boyfriends parents house. I stood there for about 5 minutes just going over what I was going to say in my head. I looked up and saw stars, I did not realize how late it had gotten, I looked at my phone and saw it was 8:42. Would everyone be asleep? It took about another 5 minutes before deciding it would probably be ok to enter, and opened the door.

The floorboards creaked underneath my feet as I made my way to the elevator. I entered and waited for the door to open again, and walked towards the infirmary. As made my way down the hall I heard voices coming from Maryse Lightwoods office (Is that what you call it? I still do not know all the official words)

"Are you sure I won't be a burden?" a feminine voice said that I had never heard before,

"Burden? No it is a Institutes job to take in wayward Shadowhunters." This voice was Maryse's.

"Alexander will show you to your room." Her voice said again. Alec? I thought wouldn't he be at Magnus's? My thought's were proven wrong when the door opened and out came Alec, Maryse, and a pretty blonde Shadowhunter about my age.

She was tall fit and slender, with really long blonde hair pulled up into a ponytail. She also had bright blue eyes alive, and that danced. She looked like she just came out of a Victoria's Secret ad, except she was wearing Shadowhunter gear.

Alec noticed me first and asked in a broken tone"Clary what are you doing here?"

I stared back at him and said "I could ask you the same question." At those words he seemed a little bit angry then sad, then he did not say anything at all.

"Maryse is this another one of your children? You said you had 3, two boy's and a girl. This was the blonde Shadowhunter. She had a voice that made her sound like a proper 20 year old woman, it was vey grown up and respectable.

Maryse looked at me before answering "No, Emily this is just another Shadowhunter in training"

Somehow I was hurt by her words. I was not just some Shadowhunter was I not? Was I not dating her son?

The pretty blonde girl named Emily, her face brightened and she smiled at me.

"Hi my names Emily Rosewright, I am continuing my training of being a Shadowhunter here at the New York Institute, Just like you!" She said very cheerfully, extending out her graceful perfect hand,

"What's your name?" I took her perfectly polished hand in mine, small covered in freckles, and bitten off nails.

"I'm Clarissa Fairchild." I gave her my mothers Shadowhunter name, knowing it would be easier to explain then my other last names.

She smiled at me again and said, "Well Clarissa It will be a pleasure to get to know you."

I gave her a weak smile back answering "Just call me Clary it's more easier to say."

Maryse looked at us both before saying, "Well Clarissa I know where your going just follow Alexander and Miss Rosewright there."

Emily looked giddy and hooked my arm through her hers, and followed after Alec down the hallway.

...

Well here is another update and I introduced another character, Emily Rosewright.

Her first name I was looking up strong beautiful girl name's (My name came up just incase your wondering) and I thought you know my sisters name means hard working so why don't I use Emily.

So yes she is named after my sister. Her last name I can not take all the credit for either I have the Shadowhunter's Codex and there were different words you could choose from so I just chose Rosewright.

anyway...

long chapter (well longer than all my other ones) 917 words to be exact and I wanted to make it longer but it would have been too long _

Hope you had a lovely Christmas or Hanukah or Kwanzaa or what ever you celebrate.

Have a happy new year this will be my last post in 2013 so I will not talk to you until 2014 :(

Ciao for now lovely people

Sarah :)
