"Wake up, Brooke!" said Izzy, as she pulled off the blanket cover.
Brooke fell off the bed. She groaned and said,"Jeez, woman! you don't have to do that you now!"
"Well, I have to. Because we're moving today, and I need to get you ready."
She groaned again."Fine."
Izzy grinned."C'mon! Let's find something decent for you to wear!" She dragged Brooke over to the gigantic closet. In the end, Brooke ended up with a Y-Back Paisley Shift dress, a black Sweet Crochet headwrap, a pair of black Chained T-Strap sandals, her Parabatai rune earrings, and the charm bracelet with runes on them.
"How do I look?" she asked.
"You look amazing!"
"Thanks for helping me, by the way."
"No problem. Now, how can you look fabulous with an empty stomach? C'mon, let's get you something to eat."
After breakfast, everyone was all over the place, packing things. Brooke's parents were helping her pack her thing up, in her bedroom. "Is Church coming with us?" she asked.
Jace looked terrified."Heavens, no! That devil can't come with us! Maryse needs Church anyways," he said. She frowned.
Brooke as very fond of the cat. She would sneak extra snacks to the cat sometimes. She was the only one that Church never bites or scratches.
After packing, they brought their luggages into the living room, where Magnus is waiting for them. Brooke hugged, Jocelyn, Luke, Maryse, Robert, Alec, Magnus, and Church."Are you guys ready?" he asked. They nodded. The portal appeared, and they all went in it.
The scenery around them was breathtaking. There were beautiful hills, that surrounded them, so as the green field, that seemed to stretch forever. This area was very familiar, to Brooke. There was a pond with koi fish, and water lilies. Right next to it, stood two Mansions. The one on the right, was the Heronale Manor. And the one on the left, was the Lightwood Manor. The Herondales and the Lightwoods, always visits Idris, during summer."Welcome home," Jace said. The Lightwoods are already in their house. Jace took out the keys from his pocket, walked over to the door, and opened the lock.
The house was very silent. Inside the living room stood a white grand piano. The furnitures inside the house, was all modern. Brooke brought her luggage upstairs, and dumped them in her bedroom. She took out The Tale of Two Cities, from her bag.
"You're still reading that?" A voice asked. She looked up and saw Sophie, grinning at her. Brooke grabbed a pillow, and chucked it at her.
"You got a problem with that?"
"Hell, yeah! I don't get why Sydney Carton let himself die, in order to save Lucie's Husband. Why can't he just let Charles die, so he can be with Lucie? I thought he liked that bitch."
"Sydney Carton is willing to save Charles, because he wants to do good. He had spent all his life being drunk. And he's doing it for Lucie, because he loves her. And it's not Lucie's fault, she's a bitch. She doesn't know," she replied angrily, shooting daggers at her.
"I'm sorry, jeez."
"Anyways, why are you here?"
"We're having a family meeting, in the living room. You have to be there right now."
"So what's the meeting about?" Brooke asked, as she took a seat, on the couch.
"It's about the school." Jace replied.
"Do you mean, Alicante High?"
"Yes."
"What about it?"
"Well, since the school is in the city, I want you to portal you and your cousins to school, and back home, everyday. Is that okay, Brooke?"
"Okay. But what if one of us, has to stay after school?"
"They can use the horses in the stables."
"Is that all?"
"Just three more things to say."
She sighed."What is it?"
"Always have a stele with you, don't get into trouble, and if a boy makes you feel like shit, you know what you gotta do."
"Gee, that last part really makes my day."
"You're welcome. Oh, and school starts tomorrow." She groaned."You are all dismissed."
"Let's go do some demon hunting!" Brooke shouted.
"The Herondales: Beautiful, Deadly, and Reckless." Sophie said.
"I agree with you, sis." said Joseph.
"Of course she's right. She's like the good cop, and I'm like the fucking sexy bad cop." Brooke replied. Sophie rolled her eyes.
"Okay. There are about four or three demons, near Brocelind Forest. So, I guess we could take them on."
"Cool. I'm gonna portal us to Brocelind Forest." Brooke took out her stele, and drew the portal rune. The portal appeared.
"Let's go!" shouted Joseph. They took out their weapons, and went in the portal.
"One more ravener to go!" said Brooke, in a deadly tone. She cornered the demon, held the katana high, and brought it down, slicing the demon in half. Ichor was flowing out. The demon twitched nonstop, and then, it vanished.
"That's the rest of them." said Sophie.
"Great. Now let's go back home."
"Did you have fun?" asked Jace.
"Hell, I did." replied Brooke.
They were having dinner, now. Jace and Brooke were talking nonstop, on how to kill demons, in 50 different ways, while Clary gave up, and started painting.
Brooke decided to stay up late, reading The Tale of two Cities. When her brain finally can't suck in the words, she took out her sketchbook, and started drawing Sophie, slaying the ravener demon. Her mom walked in, and asked,"Can't sleep?"
She sighed."I can, but I don't want to."
"Why not?"
"Because I just don't want to."
"But you have school tomorrow, and you can't be late."
"I know."
"Now, go to sleep."
"Okay." Brooke walked over to her bed, and she drifted off. Her mom switched off the light, and quietly closed the door.
