Jace and i are in the back seat, we're driving to the institute. My anxiety level is off the charts. What if Alec and Isabelle hate me. What if Jace falls for Isabelle. What if I die. I'm really starting to wish i had never found the stele and seraph blade. I make a quick glance in Jaces direction. I can't let him see how nervous i am. I need to pull it together. Wait did he just bite his lip. He's nervous too! Okay good. I'm not the only one. This is seriously unhealthy. How did we go from being carefree teenagers to being highly trained and powerful demon slayers. An even better question why was i so god damned excited for this. I'm crazy. ONLY CRAZY PEOPLE BELIEVE IN DEMONS, VAMPIRES, AND FUCKING WARLOCKS FOR FUCK SAKES! I need to be admitted into an asylum. Why am I ev-... What? Oh good god goddess, whatever you believe in, Jace just reached over and held my hand. He's normally not the 'get all up in your personal space' type person. He's either really nervous or picking up some serious 'shoot me' vibes coming from yours truly. What ever works. You will so not hear me objecting. He's leaning over. He's so close I can feel the heat of his breath on my face as he whispers in my ear.

"It'll be fine. We'll be there for each other. Nothing will change for the worse. Our life is like a roller coaster, we can only go up together from here." with that he moved away. Leaving me slightly aroused and lonely. What a strange combination. Oh well. I wonder if he can sense how he makes me feel. What if he knows and he is just teasing me. If that is the case he's an ass. What if Jace does have feelings for me but thinks i don't feel the same way. I need to stop obsessing over him. What i need to be focusing on is fitting in and succeeding in my new life style. I wonder if Isabelle is more girly or tom-boy. Hmmm, so right now im wearing black skinny jeans, which could be both girly and not. I'm also wearing a dark green top to bring out my eyes, that's girly. Although my make-up is anything but girly. It's black eyeliner on my waterlines and on the top lid, black eyeshadow and a red lipstick that I had put a dark purple eyeshadow on and blended to give it more of a vampish look. Should i even use the word vampish and more. I mean i'm going to be hunting vampires and all. But only the rouge ones. We don't kill innocents. We are NOT Valentine. I wonder if i'll be as good as my mother and luke say. Only time and practice can tell. The car starts to slow down. We're here finally at the so called beautiful... abandoned building? What the fuck? I thought this place was going to be nice. I stare at the building in distaste, until it started to change. It is beautiful. The towers and everything look shimmery and new. It somehow looks bigger too. This. Is. Definitely. Somewhere. I. Could. Stay. I walk inside the big front doors. I'm greeted by 4 people. Two teens that are probably Alec and Isabelle, a smaller boy who looks about 9-10 and a women I'm assuming is the mother of all three children. They all introduce themselves. The boys name is Max and the woman's name is Maryse. Isabelle is tall, though that could be the allusion of the killer 6 inch heels she's wearing, she had raven black hair and black eyes. She also happens to be the most beautiful girl i have ever seen. Like if I were gay i'd tap that. Her brother has the same dark hair but his eyes aren't black, they're so blue they make the sky seem dull. The bluest ocean look faint. Damn he sexy. What is in the water in this house and when do i start drinking it? He is also tall, and muscular. Max has the same features as isabelle, but he has glasses on his face. Maryse has the same blue eyes as alec but looks exactly like Isabelle. The resemblance in uncanny. After the introduction Alec takes jace to the room he'll be staying in and isabelle to mine.

"Follow me! Your name is Clarissa, right?" "Yes, but I prefer Clary, and you are Isabelle, correct?" She looks at me, giving me a kind smile.

"Indeed. But as you i prefer to be called by a nickname. Call my Izzy or Iz. Which ever you wish. I have a habit of making my own nicknames for people. Hmmm. You are now Rissa, Ris or Bliss. Choose one and it shall be granted to you." she looked at me expectantly. She seems nice. I like her.

"You know what, I like all three." I responded after a moment of thought. "What one is your favourite?"

"I'll call you all three! Okay Rissa, right this way!" She signaled as she winked at me.

"So how long have you lived here?" I asked genuinely curious.

"11 years now. I used to go to school with you but the Clave needed someone to take care of the institute so my mother and father volunteered."

"Do I need to follow a daily schedule?" "Not really. We have training everyday at around 10:30, and we have a few classes with Hodge. Thats about it. The rest is free time."

"I see. This may sound stupid, but, are we allowed out? Like to the city?"

"Of course! How do you think i look this fabulous?" I had to admit she looked great. She was wearing all black, and by all black i mean ALL black. She had a black shiny shirt, black leather pants, black combat boots with a 6 inch heel. Even her make-up was black. Her eyes were like my own but had more of a cat/smokey eye look and her lipstick was black. She is one of the only people i know who can effectively pull off that look. She had so much confidence she could wear a clown suit and look beautiful.

After i put my things away and got situated in my new room, I went downstairs for dinner. There was a bit of small talk, but not much. I sat beside Isabelle. I began to think of her as best friend material. I actually liked her. I don't like most girls my age.

What did you guys think? This is a whole lot longer than the other chapters. I had more ideas but i didn't want to bore you! Anyway, I love you and let me know your ideas! Also, what's a good song?

With love from all my heart!
