Chapter 3

Clary's POV

"At least we know you're a shadow hunter." I said knowing that Carstairs was a line of shadow hunters.

"What do you mean?" she asked. So I simply replied. "Carstairs is a shadow hunter name so we know you are one"

"Okay...Well what do we do now? Can I go home?" wow she really wanted to go home, she must have a good home.

"No because you might be in danger so you are more protected her." She seemed to understand.

"So I will just stay here"

"Ya"

"Well I think I want to sleep I had a long day"

"We will leave you alone" and with that we all left.

Jace grabbed my arm gently and whispered in my ear "Let's go to the weapons room." I giggled and followed him.

In the weapons room he turned to me but did not look happy. "What are we going to do with her?"

"What do you mean the institute is meant to house people like us, so she will stay here!" I almost feel like she is a younger sister to me. I don't know why but I want to protect her.

"I have a bad feeling from her, and I don't know why."

"How could you get a bad feeling from her she is young and seems so sweet."

"Well I think we should let her go home. She is going to ruin everything."

"What do mean ruin everything." By now we are yelling at each other and I have a strange feeling I need to protect her.

"I mean that something is going to happen, I don't know what but this is not good Kayla has to leave!"

Somewhere during that last part I heard someone enter but I was too angry to look away, when I finally did I realized it was Kayla…


Kayla's POV

Finally I am alone. I never thought this day was going to end. While the other people were in here I pretended I was okay but I can feel the tears coming. I start to lie down but I cannot find a comfortable spot. I hurt everywhere. Mable I'll go for a walk and then go to sleep.

I stand up and fight the tears. When I leave the room I try to remember my way around. I have no idea where to go so I just walk. I turn right and I hear people yelling for the room at the end of the hall. I walk up to room and I hear Clary. I open the door. And listen to the conversation.

"I mean that something is going to happen, I don't know what but this is not good Kayla has to leave!"

I stood there with my month open, and I thought these people were welcoming. I can see Clary looking at me and Jace looks mad.

"What are you doing here?" he snaps at me.

"I wanted to go for a walk and I heard people yelling so I came in to see what was happening. Obviously I am not wanted here o I'm going to leave. It was nice meeting you Clary." I turn to leave but not before clary has her hand on my shoulder.

"You can't leave; it's not safe out there." I take a breath and reply coolly "I just want some fresh air I will come back later." Then I leave and walk quickly to find the entrance. When I find the door I notice a flash of silver. It is a knife, I grab it then leave.


Clary's POV

"See what you did, you scared her. How could you do that did you see how hurt she was." Why does he always have to be so annoying?

"She will get over it, she has to grow up anyway."

"Just because you can hide your feelings does not mean everyone can. I'll bet she is crying somewhere outside. And we don't even know if she will come back."

"She will come back; she has nowhere else to go." He seemed to understand why I want her to come back so bad.

"She better, if she is not back in 1 hour we are going to go find her." I hope Kayla will be okay.

"Fine"

"Fine"

He walked up to me and pulled me into a warm embrace. We looked into each other's eyes and I knew what he wanted. We pulled into a passionate kiss. I could feel my face turning red as he started twirling my hair around his finger. And I responded by doing the same to him. I slowly pull away and say. "1 hour, I am going to my room to draw."

"See you later" he seemed to be happier than before. I turned to leave but now before lightly kissing his cheek. I wave and leave.


Kayla's POV

I don't even know where I'm going I am just following my feet. I know how to get back and I probably should go back soon. Why does this kind of stuff always happen to me? Sigh. I turn down a dark alley and realize my mistake right away. I turn back around and it is blocked by a dark figure. Oh come on, really? I walk towards it because the other way is a dead end. I know how to defend myself. I start to quicken my pace and am just about to pass by when the figure grabs me. And I thought I was going to get away. Why am I so naïve?

I look at the figure and it is not human. It is dead white with scaled skin, a black hole for a mouth, bulging toad-like eyes, and arms that end in tentacles where hands should be. The tentacles are grey-white and tipped with blood-red suckers. Inside each sucker is a cluster of needle-sharp teeth and it is around me. As I struggle the grasp becomes tighter. I struggle to breath as I feel one of the needles go into my arm.

I remember that I have I that knife. I reach into my boot and pull out the knife. With one slash I cut the tentacle off. Wow I did not know that I could do that. I continue to cut off the tentacles until he has none left. I am really glad they are not growing back. I stab the demon in the chest and it starts shrieking.

It starts to fold up on itself. After a few seconds it's gone. I fall to the ground. How did I do that? It felt so natural and normal. I look at myself and I am covered in its blood. It is black and gooey. And it's covering me. Eww, but what an adrenaline rush. I start to stand up but my body is just so tired. I find the energy and stand up.

I walk back to the institute quickly because is I got attacked again I would most likely lose this time. I forget about how I am not wanted at the institute because if I went home my parents would freak. I walk up the giant the door. I did not notice that the institute is a giant church. Wow it is beautiful. But I have bigger things to worry about. I walk up and knock. I notice I am still holeding the dagger. I slide it in my boot for later. And wait, I knock again and Clary opens the door. I am so so relived it is her.

She pulls me into a hug and I start crying. I cannot hold it in any longer. Still holding onto my arms she looks at me any says "what happened?"

"I got attacked by a demon." I whispered.

"Are you okay?" she seems really concerned but I am too tired to care.

"Ya, I'm not hurt but I'm really tired." She pulls me into a hug again and I collapse in her arms. I can feel myself being caried to my room. I am put on to something really soft and I fall asleep right away. All I can think about is what this person wants with me.

Thank you! Review and can anyone quess the demon? Answer you review!
