Starting to explain the mystery behind Issabelles behaviour, what do you think is wrong with her? let me know what you think. xxx
After searching through books all day yesterday Magnus had gone home to do some more research and Alec had retired to his bedroom and although he hardly got any sleep he was determined to find an explanation behind Issabelles behaviour and the baby's growth. There was a knock at Alec's door and a very pale Jace stepped in.
"How's Clary doing?" Alec asked. Jace paced up and down "Not good. Issabelle showed up. I stayed in Clary's room last night and when Issabelle came in so did mum." Alec couldn't tell if Jace was upset or angry. "What happened? " he asked. Jace shook his head, "Nothing good... Mum knows Clary's pregnant, Issabelle made sure of that and left whilst we were all caught up in the moment. Alec even mum said she was acting strange." Jace sat down on the window seat looking out across New York.
Alec was slightly confused, he had never known Jace to have called Maryce mum before but he diddnt want to pry.
"We couldn't find anything about your baby's growth, but we did have a idea. What if the Issabelle we are seeing isn't the real Issabelle? What if it's maybe a glamour or even possession?" Alec suggested. Jace thought for a moment before replying, "Do you think someone is using Issabelle just to get to Clary? If someone is doing this to Issabelle then they must have a reason and what happened to the baby is too much of a coincidence to ignore." Alec looked up "I think so Jace. Let's go look in Issabelle's room she isn't here so lets see if we can see if we can find anything." without another word both shadowhunters got up and went next door into Issabelles bedroom.
Maryce left not long after Jace did. Clary grabbed her phone and decided to call Simon, but then she hesitated. She remembered how Simon spoke to her the the last time she saw him, how he had told her he still loved her and that he wanted them to run away and be a 'proper' family. Despite how angry Clary was at simon she still needed him as her best friend, Clary picked up the phone and dialled his number.
After a few rings simon picked up. "Hey Clary how's things?" he sounded like the normal simon Clary had expected him to be mad at her for walking out on him in the coffee shop. Clary explained about Issabelle and the fast development of her baby. "Oh Clary I really just want to hug you." Simon voice was normal it was as if he couldn't remember what had happened between them.
"Anyway Clary I'm so sorry I couldn't meet you after your doctors appointment I had to go, a man followed you into the doctors, he had a cut his head and there was a lot of blood. I couldn't control my hunger so I left. What did the doctor say?" simon asked. Clary was instantly baffled "Simon?" she said "You where there when I came out of the doctors, after Issabelle hit me you pulled me up off the ground and we went to the coffee shop?" Clary knew that something was seriously wrong. Simon matched Clary's baffled tone, "Clary that never happened? I went home as soon as a fled from the doctors? I honestly don't know what your talking about." Simon said, He paused "wait Clary Issabelle hit you?". Clary now had a thousand thoughts spinning around her mind. "Simon don't you remember? We went to the coffee shop and you started saying complicated things, like how you stilled loved me... And how you wanted us to leave the shadow world and run away? Do you not remember?"
Simon paused for a moment, "Clary that never happened. I didn't see you other than before your appointment. Do you think you could have dreamt it?" Clary shook her head but then realised that shaking your head isn't vocal so simon didn't know her answer. "No simon it was real. On my way home I was attacked by a Ragnor demon not far from the coffee shop, If we hadn't of been in the coffee shop I wouldn't have taken that route home and I wouldn't have been attacked. I have the scares to prove it." Clary had an awful feeling in her stomach, this wasn't right she knew she had met up with Simon and that they had argued. If that argument hadn't of happened she wouldn't have gone down the alleyway and wouldn't have almost died.
"Simon, it happened. This is all so confusing first Issabelle is acting strange, then I go to the coffee shop with you yet you don't remember it. After that I got attacked and almost killed by a demon, followed by my baby growing extremely faster than normal and Issabelle bringing Maryce into my room to force us into telling the truth. I think their is something seriously wrong." Clary had a noticeable amount of a irritation in her voice. "I need to go sorry simon, I need to speak with Jace and Alec. I'll ring you later." and that was the end of their conversation.
All shall be revealed soon, let me know what you think xxx
