Scarred For Life
Chapter 3
Hey people! Once again, THANK YOU! I now have 15 followers and I only published this story 5 days ago! Thank you! Now without further ado, I present to you Chapter 3! :- )
P.S Sorry it's a short chapter and please read the authors note at the end of the chapter!
Clary P.O.V
I just sat there, shocked. When I found my voice, I finally said, "Si, I can't ask you to do that. I'm not going to make you leave your house!"
"Clary, my mom thinks I'm a demon, my sister's living in California, and I'm living in Eric's garage. There's nothing left for me here except you. So if you're going, I'm coming too."
"Simon," I managed to choke out, "you're the greatest friend a girl could ever ask for." Tears were, once again, threatening to stream down my face.
"Don't cry Clare! So, when are we leaving?"
.o.O.o.
1 hour later, Simon and I were standing in front of my house, with all of our bags. The High Warlock of Chicago, Ragnor Fell, just finished making the portal and was giving us last minute instructions.
"Alright kiddos, since one of you is vampire," he shot Simon a look, "I set the portal to drop you off in front of the Institute, not in it. Clarissa, when you get there, go into the Institute and ask for Maryse. She'll give you a tour and introduce you to the other Lightwoods'."
I flinched when he said 'other Lightwoods' but he didn't seem to notice.
"Other than that, stay safe and don't get yourself killed in the first week." He gave me a smile, revealing his pointed teeth.
As Simon and I were about to step into the portal, Ragnor said, "Oh and one more thing." I turned and looked at him. "If you meet a Magnus Bane, tell him that he still owes me $20."
"Sure thing." I said, and then I stepped into the portal, Simon right behind me.
.o.O.o.
Simon P.O.V
The first thing I noticed when we exited the portal was the smell. Exhaust, trash, and grease hung like a thick cloud over the city. Underneath all that, was the thick, rich, and delicious smell of blood. Even though I fed before I came, my fangs still slid out and pierced my bottom lip.
I looked over at Clary and saw the fear and pain in her eyes. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and pulled her into my side. She looked up at me gratefully and whispered, "I'm scared."
"You don't have to do this. We can leave and go home right now."
She still looked terrified, but I saw the steel in her eyes. "If I don't, I'll get banished from the Clave. I'll never be a Shadowhunter again. "
"Well then," I said, placing my hands on he cheeks and staring deep into her gorgeous emerald eyes, "get yourself together and walk in like the bad-ass I know you are." She just giggled and nodded her head.
After a few more minutes of standing outside and getting herself together, she marched up the stairs with her head held high. I had to admire her strength. She's been through so much and despite it all, she's still going strong. And now she's about to face one of her problems head on. The problem's name being Jace Wayland.
I saw her pause on the top step of the Institute so I ran up the stairs to help her. As my foot touched the top step, I screamed in agony. My entire body started to burn and huge blisters started to form on my arms and neck. Clary turned around, saw me rolling on the ground in pain, and dropped down on her knees in front of me. She cradled my head on her lap and told me everything would be okay.
At that moment, I realized that I loved her.
So everyone, that's Chapter 3 for you! I wanted to make it longer, but I decide that now would be a pretty good place to stop. I'm going back to school tomorrow, so I might not update as quickly as I have been. I will try and update once a week, but I have no idea how much homework I'll have. Please tell your friends about your story and keep the reviews coming! I'm ecstatic with all the follows and favorites I've gotten so far, but I want more!
PLEASE REVIEW!
Lots of Luv,
