Joe ran over to Clary and tried shaking her awake; calling her name, but nothing would wake her. He quickly picked her up and carried her to the infirmary. He laid her down on a bed and then ran from the room to gather the others. When they were all in the room Joe told them what had happened. He was majorly confused. She was breathing fine, had no colour drained from her, looked to be asleep, only she wasn't. Kate said that she would change her into some PJ's so they could get a warlock to come look and see if there was anything wrong. They all left the room while Kate changed Clary's clothes. Troy went to the library to call the LA warlock, James. When he came back he could see Joe pacing in the hallway.
"Hey guys" Kate called from inside the room "I think you should see this." They all walked into the infirmary to see Kate standing over Clary holding up her shirt. On her stomach a rune, glowing bright red.
"Any of you ever seen this rune before?" Kate asked. Everyone just shook their head. Troy left the room whilst everyone else just stared at the rune. Why was it glowing? Troy then came back into the room holding the codex, "If we're going to find this rune anywhere, it's going to be here." He said flicking though the pages. After they had looked though a few times they came to the conclusion that this was either an ancient rune, which not even the clave knew about, or a new one, which in most cases was impossible, but very possible for Clary. They were all stumped about what they could do.
James then walked through the doors and greeted everyone. "Ah, Clary Morgenstern, how interesting." He said. He walked up to her and waved his hands over her, little green sparks flew out of his hands. "There's nothing wrong with her that I can tell" he said, looking around the room.
Joe walked forward and lifted up her shirt, revealing the glowing rune again. James looks squinted his eyes at the rune. "Never seen that one before" he said, to no one in particular "but I know someone who might of. Come, we shall call him" and everyone left the room, leaving Clary alone.
Meanwhile, back at the New York institute, everyone was sitting in the library waiting for the promised call from Clary. Max was talking excitedly to Jace and Lydia, but both were focused on the phone, not the young boy. Simon and Izzy were talking in hushed tones, speculating about where Clary could be. And Alec and Magnus were sitting in comfortable silence staring at the phone, willing it to call.
A silence fell over the room when the phone did call. Max quickly picked it up, and put it on speaker.
"Hey Clary" everyone called in
"Sorry to disappoint" a man's voice replied "but I'm not Clarissa Morgenstern, my name is James Jagger, I am the LA warlock"
Everyone looked at the phone in confusion "I do, however have her here with me. I was wondering if I could talk to the fabulous Magnus Bane. It is rather urgent"
"Talk" Magnus replied
"I require your help Magnus" he said "Clary is here with me in LA, and she's stumbled into some trouble."
Jace stood up and walked toward the phone, but was pulled back by Lydia.
"What kind of trouble" Magnus asked
"She's applied a rune to herself, one I've never seen before, and it's glowing and caused her to, shall we say, fall asleep." James said
"Bring her to New York, I'll see what I can do" Magnus said, concern written on his face.
"Will do, see you soon Magnus" James said and hung up the phone.
"I need to go get ready" Magnus said and left the room, with Alec close behind.
"Well, they only thing we can do is bring her to New York." James said "this is far past my expertise"
Everyone headed back to the infirmary, only to see when they got there that Clary's bed was empty
"Where is she" Joe asked
"We were all gone dumbass" Kate replied
"Where am I" asked a small voice from the corner of the room
Standing there was Clary, holding a knife, and her eyes were wide with fear
"Who are you, and where am I. Where's Simon" Clary asked again
Joe put up his arms, to show that he was not going to hurt her, and started walking towards her.
"Clary, you know who I am right, we've known each other for a long time" Joe said
"Stop walking" Clary said, and he did "I don't know who you are, we've never met. Where am I"
"You're in the infirmary, Clary" James said "You can trust us. We're here to help you"
Clary continued to hold up her knife and look at all the people in front of her.
"Where's Simon" she asked
"He's in New York Clary, you know-" Joe started to say
"I'm not in New York? Where am I" Clary asked, gripping her knife tighter.
"You're in LA, Clary you came here yesterday" James said
"I want to go home, to Simon. I need to find my mum." Clary said
"We are going to take you back to New York. We can go right now if you want."
Clary nodded and James walked over to the wall and created a portal. Clary went dead white and dropped the knife.
"How did you do that" she asked.
"Clary we'll explain everything later, just picture a place in New York, and step though. Clary thought she was going crazy. She pictured a seat in central park and stepped though. Suddenly she was in that exact spot. Soon everyone came though after her.
"Time to the institute" James smiled.
