Clary POV (I know I did her POV before but it's a bit easier in this situation)

We reached the Institute and Kali looked really dazed and anxious. No one else seemed to notice but I had been paying close attention to her. I walked up to her and asked "Kali , are you ok? You look nervous?" Kali looked at me and tears spilled down her cheek. Fear was plastered on her face and I felt a distinctive feeling of gentleness. Kali looked down and said nothing. I wanted to ask her again as we entered the Institute but the one thing that stopped my feminine instinct was my mother's feminine instinct. She was standing tensely with Luke trying to calm her down. She was wearing a green dress that brought out her messy ponytail and a gold ring sparkled on her tapping finger. As the door shut, she turned around immediately and ran to hug me when she saw us. It was a tight hug that showed how worried she was. I saw Kali walk away quickly and head for her room. "Mum, Mum I'm fine. I'm ok," I said trying to pry her off.

"Clary, I've been worried sick! You can't just go off fighting demons when you feel like it. And what's this about a warlock showdown hunter?" she asked letting go. Before I could explain, Simon walked by.

"Hi Mrs Garroway," he said smiling.

"Hi Simon," she said smiling before looking at him suspiciously. "Where have you been?" she asked straightening up and turning to him. Simon look like he was trapped in cobra eyes.

"Um, uuuhhhh, well, we um uh fought somethings," he said hesitantly.

"What things?" asked Luke. He too had his eyes fixed on Simon and his arms were crossed. It was painful watching Simon struggle so I stepped in.

"Mum we fought some dragni demons. There new. We found a girl named Kali at Jace's birthday party and we found out she is the daughter of a demonic prince and also part a shadow hunter. Magnus told us she has an seraphic demonic fusion of blood that could be used for powerful and deadly blood magic and spells. We kind of lost her after that so we looked for her and got attacked by dragni. Luckily Kali had mastered some of her magic and kind of saved us but the dragni's lethal saliva burnt Izzy but Kali kinda healed her. Now we have to protect her from her demonic father and crazy 'nanny' and teach her to master her powers before she could since she could be turned evil," I explained rapidly. My mum and Luke looked shocked and I knew the questions would come flooding once their minds had adjusted. "I would answer your questions but Kali's really upset and I really need to comfort her. Simon will answer your question, won't you Simon?" I said. They turned to Simon who looked at me with 'c'mon' eyes. 'Sorry' I mouthed before bounding up the steps to Kali's room. I could hear the questions hitting poor Simon.

Kali was sitting on her bed staring at the floor. I could see flaky tears tracks lazily wiped away on her face. I sat down quietly beside her and asked "Kali, who Malachi?" Comforting children wasn't my greatest aspect but I had to try.

"Malachi was my carer in Syvion. I barley saw my dad so he took care of me, badly. He tried teaching me dark spells and magic but it became overwhelming and it just didn't feel right. I refused most of the time and he punished me in really strange yet effective ways. I didn't tell my dad because I thought he wouldn't believe me and I didn't stand up to him because he said he would kill me if I did. Now I know better," she said smiling a little before wiping away a tear.

"Kali, it's ok. No one has a right to abuse you. What Malachi did was wrong and you did a good job standing up to him," I said with gentleness. Kali nodded slightly.

"I guess he's pretty mad now. My father's going to hear about this and I'll be back to hell," she said with a grim expression. "I would have liked fitting into mundane life even if I am a freak."

"Kali you're not a freak. No one here is a mundane and no one here is normal. Most of us are shadow hunters. We draw on our skin and fight with glowing swords. Bat, Mia and Luke are half wolf. No one here is exactly normal. Your just like us ok. You may be part Downworlder but your blood is also angelic. Your kind and powerful and that's all you need to be to be a shadow hunter. We can help you if you let us. None will send you back to Syvion, your one of us now," I said kindly. Kali looked happier and hugged me. It was a hug of trust, relief and worry. I hugged her back feeling a little proud of myself.

"You're properly not used to comforting but you did an ok job," she said pulling away.

"Thanks. If this shadow hunter thing doesn't work out I can always become a psychologist," I smiled. Kali laughed and I was soon joining her. The door opened and Jace came in looking at Kali and me in a weird way.

"Wow, my charm is so effective it brings joy," he said. Kali was beaming as Jace walked up to me and kissed me head. "Are you ok?" he asked Kali.

"Yeah, Clary's been comforting me and she's pretty good at it," she smiled.

"That's great. I can always trust Clary to bring happiness. Anyway, your mother's going haywire and Simon is becoming overpowered. We need you now," he said looking down at me intensely. He kissed me before walking out the door and I swear my heart jumped. I turned to Kali who was studying me curiously.

"What?" I asked as she starred. She laughed lightly.

"I knew one of you guys had to be dating him. Your glowing," she motioned. I blushed a bit.

"Well, Jace does have that effect on women. I'm really lucky to have him," I said. Jace was my first serious boyfriend and I wanted to spend my life with him. I just didn't want to bring it up in the fear he may think I was going to fast. "Have you ever had a boyfriend," I asked. Kali looked down in shame.

"No, not really. I was locked in my room in Syvion so social life isn't my best aspect. The only way I even know about mundane life is because of the special mirror I have in my room. It helped me spy on different people in a variety of places and societies. To think about it, I think I've seen you before. Did you have a brother called Jonathan?" she asked innocently.

At the thought of Jonathan, my smile disappeared. The memories of his green eyes, cool and wide haunted my memories for many weeks. I remembered his evil side, his dark laugh and silver hair. His body pressed against mine and saying I belonged to him. It made me dizzy so I tried to change the subject.

"Yeah, I did um, I have to go. I think my mother needs me." I said walking away. I felt bad for abandoning Kali but I just couldn't afford to think of Jonathan.

I walked down the stares and my mother hugged me immediately. She pulled away and kissed my head. "Clary, why didn't you tell us. We could have helped. Your still young and it seems the girl is really important. You know you can't do everything, right?" she said. I nodded as she kissed my head again.

"How's Izzy?" I asked.

"She's fine. I called Magnus and he's on his way with Alec. Now, where's Kali?" she asked breathing inwardly. When she breathed like that it meant she was about to do something she didn't want to.

"Mum, what are you going to do? She's just fourteen. She doesn't know her powers or runes or spells and she's not evil. You better not hurt her," I said sternly. Jocelyn sighed and looked me in the eye while holding my arms by my sides.

"Clary, I wouldn't dream of hurting a child like this. She's one of us and one of the warlocks so couldn't possibly harm her. I just want, need to talk to her and find some things out. I swear on the angel I won't hurt that girl." I relaxed a little when she said this because I knew being pushed into a whole new world was scary and confusing. "But, I will have to let the Clave do what they want," she whispered as she hugged me.

"What?" I asked. Letting the Clave do what they want always resulted in chaos, injustice or someone getting hurt. Kali only knew how to defend herself and it seemed she would use it on anyone who dared hurt her. "Mum, you can't let them hurt her !She really scared and oblivious to her powers. She'll use them on anyone who comes too close!" I almost yelled.

"Clary understand we don't know her. She could be..." she paused.

"What? She could be what? Evil? A backstabber? Mum, why don't you see she's too young and innocent. Not everyone you just meet is evil! Gosh, why can't you just trust people, huh? I mean, up to now you still don't trust Jace even though we've been together more than a year!"

"Clary, please. Ju-" she started before a loud roar interrupted us. It sounded like a motor cycle and my first thought was 'vampires' even though it was day. My mum and I looked at each other before rushing outside.

When we got outside we saw Jace and Mia trying to pry Bat of a young boy standing next to a red shiny motorcycle. They boy looked fifteen and familiar and it seemed Bat really hated him. Luke soon joined us and saw the 'fight'. He rushed immediately to them and pulled Bat off with a lot of force. "Bat! What's wrong with you. We don't hurt other werewolves and you know that!" I heard him yell. Luke would make an excellent father.

"Bat, who is this boy and why are you strangling him?" asked Mia looking at the exhaling Bat. Bat sighed and looked sideways. "He's my cousin." he said deeply.

AN : What do you think? Who's Bat's cousin and why is he hated so much? What will the Clave do to Kali?
