You guessed it, wrote in ipod. xD
"Knock, knock. Time to get up!" said the voice behind the door. It was Katherine.
Cassandra opened one eye staring at the door. She didn't want to get up or even bother to answer the door.
"I'm coming in." Katherine said as Cassandra closed her eye and turned to face the window opposite of the door. The brunette sat at the edge of the bed. "It's almost noon. You missed breakfast and morning training again."
Cassandra mumbled something but the only words Katherine could make out was weapons and Ian.
"Oh that's right..." Katherine's voice was low as if remembering last night was not a good memory for her. "...you trained with my brother last night. That must've taken a while. How late did you guys stay?" She asked masking a small tone of disappointment, but Cassandra could tell.
She tried to wave her to go away, not feeling in the mood to try and talk anymore. Not that she did properly earlier anyways.
"Okay, okay, I'll go. I'll just ask Ian then. But you should really get up." Katherine said heading out of the room.
When she heard the door shut, she turned back around, sitting up. Her hands brushed through her hair as she took her time to wake up. A flashback of Katherine and Alex at Chow's popped in her mind and she felt a bit sick when another knock came. Assuming it was Katherine again making sure she had somewhat woken up, she yelled at the door, "I'm up!" The door opened revealing it was Ian. "Oh... my bad." She apologized.
"No, I probably should've said it was me. You probably thought I was my sis, who I did run into in the hallway. Told her we were up pretty
late, so you should be safe sleeping in a bit longer." Ian replied.
Cassandra just nodded her head. "Thanks.." She said watching as he made his way to her bed, holding out his hand. She looked at him funny, "What are you doing?"
"Just hold your hand out." He ordered nicely. She did as she was told. It wasn't like Ian ever had bad intentions, plus she respected him, being her parabatai's brother and the current oldest in the institute. When she held an open hand out, his hand opened dropping a small blue
pendant.
"My pendant?" She was surprised.
"You forgot it last night, I thought I should give it first thing in the morning. I know it's important." It was rare for Cassandra to go anywhere without the pendant her parents gave her. She only took it off during two occasions; combat training and showering. She must've been really tired after training last night to forget. She thanked him as he turned to leave her room. Ian added, "Oh, even though I gave you some time, you should get up soon, my mom and Jamie are coming back from Idris tonight. You know she hates it when you sleep in and skip morning training, even though you don't really need it." The end of his last sentence disappearing off into the hallway.
Cassandra just fell backward onto her bed as she grabbed a pillow to cover her face, mumbling to herself words that related to hating the morning before she decided to finally get up.
...
In the weapons room, thuds and bangs were heard as Ian passed by. He peeked to look inside, finding Alex swinging a large blade around. Ian just stood by the door and watched his friend.
When Alex was done giving his finishing blows to a punching-like bag, he spoke to his watcher, "Care to join in?" He looked over at Ian by the door.
Ian just laughed, "I'd like to see my mom without a black eye, thank you."
Alex shrugged. "Suit yourself. I wouldn't have been that hard on you."
"Are you blind to the condition you've put that target in?" Ian chimed in with a look of are-you-serious-right-now?
Alex looked at the bag-like punching bag in front of him. "I'm pretty sure it's always looked like that." He said walking over to the cupboard to hang the sword back on. "Im guessing Cass slept in since I wasn't kicked out of here or challenged. You two must've stayed up late last night, huh?" Alex kept his eyes on the weapons hanging in the cupboard.
"What?" Ian asked a bit bewildered by the sudden question.
"Didn't you two train last night? You quickly dragged her away at Chow's?" Alex turned giving Ian a questioning look.
"Oh right. Yeah. We stayed up pretty late. Took me a while to get down some moves using the katana."
"I see..." Alex said as he unconsciously slammed the cupboards closed a little bit harder than usual.
Ian noticed but brushed it off. He was more curious about what had happened between Alex and his sister. It had only been during the last few weeks when his sister came up to him asking him about the type of girl Alex was into and that's when he knew that his sister had fallen for his best friend. At first he found his sister's infatuation creepy, but who better for her to end up with than someone he trusted with his life? Of course there was also the factor that Alex may have been falling for someone else already, or fallen for already, but Ian figured it wouldn't hurt to try and help his sister out. "So how was the rest of your night?"
"Well...you and Cass left me with your sister." Alex answered in a tone where it was debatable if he was unhappy about it or annoyed by it. Dont misunderstand, Alex got along with Katherine...to an extent, he respected her as a shadowhunter, but they had nothing in common. He continued," We chatted a bit but I got the feeling she was there for a date because of the way she was dressed, so I said I was turning in for the night and left. Why do you ask?"
"You just left her there?" Ian asked with a hint of anger. He was considered the protective one of the bunch.
"Yeah. Not like she doesn't know how to get back. We are only about 10 minutes away from Chow's."
"Not the point..." Ian mumbled to himself.
"Did you say something?" asked Alex as he strided over to Ian.
"Nothing.." He let out a sigh. Then remembered, "Oh, my mom and Jamie are coming back from Idris tonight." The two began walking down the corridors.
"Great." Alex said sarcastically. As the two passed the hallway where all their rooms were, Ian noticed Alex stop and stare down the hallway. "Has someone woken her up yet? If Mrs. Youngblood is coming home, you know she hates it when she sleeps in this late." Without even saying the name, Ian knew who he was referring too.
"She knows. Let's just say she had two wake up calls from the Youngblood siblings." Ian interjected.
Alex turned to look at Ian with a you-dared-to-go-in-there face. It was unusual, seeing as Cassandra was sort of a grump in the morning, especially when she had slept late the night before. So they usually left it to Katherine to wake her. Being her parabatai, Cassandra never really was grumpy towards her, while the rest of the boys learned the hard way.
"What? I was second." Ian explained knowing what Alex was thinking, "...plus I had insurance." He added. "But don't worry about her, let's go get some lunch." Ian swung his arm around his friend as he directed him toward the kitchen.
...
The rest of the day had gone on for what was considered normal for the four. Each took their time in the weapons room, while some trained together, like the parabatai pair. Alex stayed cooped up in his room for once while music crept out from the door cracks. Sunset soon followed which was the sibling's cue to go out to grab some ingredients for dinner tonight to prepare for their mother's arrival. Cassandra had been last in the weapons room, making up for the morning training she missed, when she heard her phone vibrate on the table. She set down the seraph blade she had been holding, grabbing her phone and reading a text: 'SOS COME TO HAIGHT ST. ASAP -JAMIE' She arched an eyebrow. Why would Jamie be texting her to meet him when he was supposed to have come back with Mrs. Youngblood any minute now from Idris? The word SOS and ASAP stuck out in her mind. If this really was Jamie and he somehow came back earlier and needed help, she wouldn't leave him hanging no matter how troublesome he was. She gathered her belongings and left exactly to where the text indicated. When she left, it didn't go unnoticed.
JAMIEEEE IS COMINGGGG NEXT CHAPTER! AND FINALLY SOME ACTION! xD Stick with me? And feedback?
