Isabelle POV
Kali sat very still in her chair. After the shower incident everyone just kept quiet. It wasn't awkward but it was strange. "Hey Kali, why don't you go down stairs. I mean, you're going through this stage and you need as much energy as you can get," said Clary trying to soften the tense mood. Kali nodded gently before walking to the door. "Oh and Kali," said Clary. "Avoid the new boy. His name is Daniel, he's Bat's cousin but he's a bad guy."
"Why?" said Kali. She couldn't read people like others did.
"He's just...dangerous. Don't get involved, promise me."
"Ok," Kali said quietly before heading out the door. Clary stood up and I followed her. She had her phone by her ear in seconds.
"Who are you calling," I asked. Clary's hand dropped to her side and she looked shocked and fascinated at the same time.
"Isabelle, has it ever occurred to you that Kali is very important," she said facing me.
"Considering the fact her blood is an angelic demonic fusion which can be used for serious blood magic kinda makes her special, so?" I asked.
"She is a mixed breed of a mixed breed. Warlocks are mixed breeds and can't have children and she's also part shadow hunter so how is her reproductive system still intact?" asked Clary. She was right. Kali was a very complicated kind of race. Clary returned to her phone. "I'm calling Magnus and Maryse, this is pretty serious."
While Clary was busy, I headed into the kitchen with food on my mind. Kali sat on the table eating an apple while Daniel sat opposite watching her. His expression was fascination and something else, something familiar. I ignored it and made a sandwich. Simon walked into the kitchen with Jace. "Hey sweetie," I said to Simon.
"Hey," he said kissing my cheek. Jace chuckled silently.
"What?" I asked defensively.
"His nerdness has worn off on you hasn't it. You're so sweet now it's disturbing," laughed Jace.
"Hey," I said throwing a glass at him. He dodged it rapidly. "Don't call me sweet." Jace looked surprised while Simon laughed and kissed me on the cheek again.
"Why do you do that?" asked Kali staring at Simon and I. "I mean, kiss all the time?" Everyone looked at her.
"Well, kisses usually symbolize how much you care and love someone," explained Simon looking at me with affection. I felt loved and respected around him. I couldn't believe I doubted my feelings for him before.
"Oh," said Kali. Daniel, who had been sitting silently for once, smirked.
"If you still don't understand, I'll demonstrate," said Daniel leaning into Kali. I immediately grabbed his shirt and yanked him away.
"Keep your raging boy-mones under control otherwise I will not hesitate to hurt you" I said sternly pushing him away. Just then Clary walked into the kitchen with her phone in hand.
"I've called Magnus and Maryse. They're on their way and Alec's coming along too," she said. She scanned the room until she saw Jace and blushed a bit when he winked at her. My suspicion ignited immediately. "Anyway, until then, I'll just be in the library." Jace stood up suddenly.
"I'll go with you. I... need to find some things out," he said striding towards Clary. Simon looked at me as if to say 'why is he acting like that' . I shrugged and took a bite of my sandwich. Daniel sat back down but I threw dangers at him. He threw his hands up in reassurance but I didn't take my eyes off him. "Hey, what's on your mind?" asked Simon.
"Kali, she's a real... variety. She's demonic and angelic but kind and innocent but not too gentle and oblivious but informed. She reminds me of Max, you know, without the demonic bit," I said as tears formed in my eyes. Although Max's death seemed like a whole lifetime ago, the pain was fresh and ached. Simon hugged me tightly and the pain lessened.
"He would have grown up to be the be a good person and shadow hunter but he's in a better place now, since we found out it exists," said Simon. I chuckled against him and the vibrations of his laughter rumbled in my body. I pulled away from him just a fraction and just starred at him. He had grown stronger and braver from lessons and battles. He still wore his glasses but without them he was truly handsome. His hair was curly and dark and his smile gentle and encouraging. I dreamt of calling myself Mrs Lewis nearly everyday and I wished it would become a reality. I kissed him slowly and passionately and he returned it. He stroked my cheek softly and my fingers slipped into his belt loop. I forgot about the world and the problems I had before. I forgot my marks and training. All I wanted, all I needed was Simon and I couldn't have been happier.
Slowly he pulled away to get air and I realised Kali and Daniel were still in the kitchen. I turned to them uncertain what my expression was. Kali looked at us with awe and cheeriness while Daniel looked like he was reflecting. "So that's how you show your love for someone?" asked Kali.
"Yeah, something like that," I replied before hugging Simon again.
