Chapter 2: The big surprise
Hey guys, people wanted me to update soon and since I have been procrastinating so much these holidays, I thought I may as well make people's lives interesting. So here is the new chapter! I hope you like it! Please review and give me feedback, it would really help. Love you all! P.S : There was a bit of confusion so I'll tell you guys, Clary and Jace know each other from before.
CLARY POV
I wish I had my phone with me so I could take a picture of everyone's expressions. There I was, surrounded by the Robert, Maryse, Isabelle, Alec, Jonathan, Jocelyn and Luke. Jace was there, staring at me like I had climbed out of a dream. There were many whispers about the "emo chick that looked like she came out of the dead". Uhhh, I hate people like that. Judging people without a real reason. Anyways, back to actual world. Everyone was staring at me, shocked at the fact that I had found them. They most likely thought I was dead. That was Valentine's "incredible" thought. Notice my sarcasm. "Are you all going to stare at me?" I said with the worst look I could give them. I felt slightly guilty, but they deserved it. They had continued their lives, happy and cheerful, while I was here, rotting in Valentine's basement. "How are you alive? I thought you were dead. You were all over the news; we searched for years, all around the country…" Jocelyn said in between sobs. "Well obviously you hadn't searched for me enough, cause I'm alive and talking to you right now." I cut her off, not ever looking into their eyes. "Anyway, I'm not here for a reunion, I'm here to warn you. Valentine is planning the biggest surprise yet. Every year, on my birthday, he would torture me in a special way. Each year it would be different. He said that his would be the last year, so either it is going to be the worst one or he is going to kill me." I stated plainly, not finding it dramatic. I was so sick of life I may as well die. What I said popped something in Jocelyn's mind and she jumped out of her chair to hug me like a normal family. That was the problem. I hadn't hugged someone in more than a decade, so it was a weird gesture for me. Being the killing machine I was, I jumped back too, blocked my hand with my palm and stuck my gun out. Good move Clary. You have successfully killed the tiny part in everyone's heart that still believed you were innocent. Everyone ran away from the tables and stuck to the walls and everyone in cafeteria grew silent. Shit. Great way to make friends Clary. "Sorry, it's just that I'm not used to any type of comfort at all." I said with a sheepish smile on my face. Everyone was beyond shock, except for Jace. He had his cute smirk that I had loved ever since I saw it. Stop Clary. You aren't allowed to show any emotions. To love is to destroy and to be loved is to be destroyed. Drill that into your head. After a while, everyone seemed to calm down and it seemed as if they really wanted me back in their lives. "Clary, Valentine tricked us. He said that you had drowned. We believed him because he seemed so genuine." Jocelyn said, watching all of my actions, all of my moves. "Every move of yours is calculated and precise isn't it" Jonathan said, much to my surprise. He hadn't said a word about the whole situation, but thought that talking about my moves was okay. "Yea, yea it is…." I trailed off, hearing the constant beeping of a tracker coming from under us. I silenced everyone and looked under the table. Sure enough, there was a tracker, and it was on my leg. It was beeping more frequently the more time passed on meaning… "Shit, he knows where I am and he is coming for me, I have to leave now!" I said as I jumped out of my seat and got my weapons ready. No one understood and seemed dumbfounded until they heard screams coming from the hallway. "Ummm….. Disperse okay, Jace and the whole gang, go back to your usual seats and stay there. No matter what happens. Mum, Robert, Maryse and Luke, go into the cafeteria kitchen and put some aprons on, act as if your chefs. And under any circumstances, will you try and stop whatever is going to happen, okay. Please. It's for your own good." I said, trembling. They all left, but never left their eyes off me. I could sense it. I heard shouting right outside the door and crossed the swords in my hands into an x shape. Two big buff men looked around for a second until their eyes collided with mine. They smiled for a moment, before they charged right at me.
