Chapter 10:
Clary stifled a scream, they had yellow glowing eyes, large sharp teeth, shaggy hair along their bodies, claws that looked like they rip someones heart out, and they seemed to be about 7 feet tall. They laughed, a horrible sounding laugh, that sent chills down Clary's spine. "You thought you could run away, little girl?." The one on the right spoke, his voice like crackling glass. That made Clary furious. "I... am... not... A LITTLE GIRL!" She drew out the stele she had found, as a rune appeared in her head. She drew it on her palm, holding it towards the beasts. It was burst of light, as bright as when she had summoned Raziel. She gasped at her own powers as the beasts were blinded,. They stumbled back with a roar. Then she lowered her hand, and started to move for the trees again. The light was enough to hold the beasts off for barely 5 seconds, they were now catching up to her. She drew another rune on her left palm, holding it up. She knew what would happen this time, the beasts froze rock solid, saliva still dripping from their mouths to the dirt floor. This would buy her some time. She started to sprint. Where exactly am I going? She thought. But at this point, it didn't matter, the only thing she could think of is being as far away from the beasts as possible.
Simon, Jace, and Isabelle stepped into the Institute doors, still wet and damp. Jace was right, going through the city of New York could certainly hold off a bunch of crazed faeries. "What happened to you three?" Maryse stood by the door, her hands on her hips, a scowl on her face. They said nothing, the only thing they could do was stare at her in silence. "I'll talk to mother, you two go upstairs." Jace ordered. Isabelle didn't mind, she didn't want to be the one to explain to her mother that they were chased by lunatic faeries. Jace moved towards the foot-tapping adoptive mother of his, his damp hair plastered to his temples, his fist clenched at his sides. "We went to the Seelie Queen, searching for help to find Clary, but she's sorta on Sebastian's side. We had to run, they're coming for us." Jace managed to say. "You did what?! Without my permission? The Clave is doing so much to find Clary!-"
"Well it is not enough!" Jace shouted, almost startled my him own self. Maryse just cupped her mouth, holding back copious tears. Jace just walked away with a feeling of guilt. Now I have something else to worry about. He thought as he walked up the stairs to his room, falling on his back on his bed. He wished Clary would just walk into his room like she was never lost at all. He couldn't imagine what was happening to her, he didn't want to. Jace couldn't sleep all the nights she had been gone, not one. Bags had formed under his eyes, and he hadn't been eating all that much either. It was putting a strain on him, the one person he loved most in the world wasn't here with him. He wished he could wrap Clary in his arms, and never let her go.
