A/N: Ahhhh so yes I know I keep making excuses for not updating but they are legit reasons I swear! This time it is school had just started and I am in many honors courses in which I always have work to do. As of right now I am reading Les Miserables which requires 3 projects, a packet, and reading the sections by certain dates, and I have had multiple science exams. So yeah I haven't really had much time to breathe let alone write SORRY (: . But Here it is, wrote it fast because I am behind on reading Fantine!
And one more thing! I will begin a reading schedule in which a new chapter will be up every Friday or Saturday.
PREVIOUSLY
Well here you are ma' lady. If you need anything at all please feel free to come knock on my door. Or Jem's if you want to talk about artsy things." He replied with a sort of…..proud tone.
"And where exactly should I come knocking?"
"Oh well when you go inside just turn to your right and walk straight to the far wall. Knock three times and I'll come over." He said softly as she nodded, and turned around.
"Sleep well Clarissa."
"Goodnight William."
CLARY P.O.V
Clary sat there staring at the four tiny bars in the corner of her phone, signalizing that she could make a call. How could this be? Well she had no idea, but she wasn't about to waste any time in making a call. She clicked the small green button and held it up to her ear.
"Goodness Clary! Thank god you called! I have been stressing myself out over here. Your parents are about to slice my head off."
"Magnus just tell them we're ok, but this is not why I called. I called to tell you where we are," she replied slowly.
"Yes, yes! Tell me and I'll be there shortly to get you."
"Um I think that might be a problem considering we are in London…..in the year 1878." The voice on the other end halted along with his deep breathing, "Magnus? Are you still there?"
"Clary I need you to tell me what happened after I portaled you all."
"After you cast the spell we all went through what looked like a tunnel, but it only lasted for a half of a second, and the next thing we know we were dropped into this large room. Soon enough someone came to investigate the noise and we were face to face with Will Herondale. He showed us around and we met the others in this institute," she explained without hesitation.
"Tell me where you are right at this very moment."
"Well Will showed us to some rooms and as of right now I am sitting on a bed."
"…..Ok look I am going to attempt in bringing you kids back shortly, but you need to listen to me and try to keep things normal. Meaning don't do any time altering events that could possibly change the future of you and the others. And if you meet me along the way, get me to help you. Use the name...Jaque to convince me. I swear you'll be out soon. Call me again tomorrow?"
"Mag I don't know if that will work. I mean a few hours ago my cell was completely disabled, this here was a miracle. Just figure something out quickly, oh and by the way," Clary was about to go on but a knock at her door made her pause. "Hey I need to go, but I'll try to reach you if I can. Goodnight…or good morning."
"Good bye Clarissa, give Alec a kiss for me," he replied as the line disconnected.
Setting her phone down Clary frowned and slightly and walked over to the door. Pausing, she slowly grabbed the handle and prayed that it was Jace there for an apology, but instead she came face to face with Will.
"Oh…Will, what a surprise. I'm sorry I was expecting someone else." He looked down at her softly and gave a bitter smile.
"Your prince charming I suppose?"
"Ha….well yes I guess you could put it that way," she softly answered looking up at him. Coughing nervously she gestured inside the room. "Would you like to come in?"
"It would be my pleasure."
JACE P.O.V
Jace couldn't stop pacing. Visions of blond, red and brown raced through his head. Silk, satin, and cashmere haunted his dreams. Freckles, books and flare came down from the heavens, and Jace didn't know what to do.
No. He knew exactly what to do and who he wanted.
He turned around and headed for his door, turned the knob and practically sprinted down the long hallway to room at the far end, but before entering Jace paused and thought to himself.
"What if she doesn't forgive me? I mean she will forgive me right? I've done nothing wrong. In fact she should be the one to apologize to me. You're Jace Wayland, no girl has a sword hanging over your head…..AHHH….no you love Clary… you looked at Tessa and Jess. You ignored her when she left crying. Go in and say you're sorry"
Sucking up his pride he reached for the handle, until he heard her from inside the room.
"Will…..."
That name set him off. His anger flared then and there. He couldn't believe it. How could Clary just allow him in her room! No. It wasn't like that. Or was it? These question Jace didn't know the answers to, but he did know one thing….he wasn't going to stick around to find out. Instead he spun on his heel and came face to face with Tessa.
"Jace…I know I don't know you very well but…would you like to go on a walk with me?"
Jace looked down into the girl's sweet face, her eyes blazing with the start of trust and affection, but deep inside them he saw hurt and pain along with unrequited affections. Looking behind him once more at the door that held his past he turned back to the present, grabbed its hand and nodded with a smile.
"Tessa I would love to go on a walk with you."
ALEC P.O.V
Alec stood there looking at the bloody mess that was his hand. Why had he gone so ballistic? He thought, 'maybe because I can't keep my family safe for two seconds without fucking it up for everyone!"
"Alec this needs to stop. You can't keep blaming yourself for every small thing that goes wrong in our lives. For angel's sake, last week when Jace got sick you blamed yourself for not pressuring him into wearing a coat on the last mission. Just take a break and relax for the length of time that we're here."
"Izzy I don't need you lecturing about how I don't need to protect you, because obviously I do! Do you not see where we are right now! And why are we here? Because I let MY boyfriend cast a spell on us! So to say this wasn't my fault is a complete understatement sis." As Alec turned toward the window he heard Isabelle sigh behind him and quietly trod toward his door.
"Aly…," he froze as she used his old pet name," I don't blame you for anything bad, or even remotely bad that has happened to me in my life. In fact you're the only thing that makes me want to breathe every day," after that there was silence in the room, and nothing moved except the tear rolling down Alec's face.
