Natalie's PoV
I woke up to the sound of Demons by Imagine Dragons. I really can connect with that song. I groaned and rolled over to answer my phone. "City Morgue." I answer.
"Hey Mother Shark," It's Simon, "Are you coming to Java Jones? Eric had a poem he's going to read." I groaned again. Eric's poems... how do I put this nicely...? Suck.
"What time is it?"
"12:00PM" My mother is at work and my dad is asleep.
"Yeah I think I can."
"Awesome. Clary and I will come and get you after I pick her up."
"No, bad idea. My dad is asleep and he might wake up when you get here."
"OK."
"See ya child."
"Yeah. See ya Mother Shark." with that I hung up and got dressed. I walked out of my room and wrote a note 'Out. Don't wait up.' Then I grabbed a Pop- Tart and walked out.
-time skip-
I walked into Java Jones and saw Simon and Clary sitting down on a couch. I waved to them. "Children! Your Mother Shark is here!" They waved and I walked over to them and sat down.
"Hey Mother Shark." said Simon.
"Hello Sharky." said Clary.
"Woah! What happened to calling me Mother Shark?! What's wrong?!" She explained the stuff that happened with her biological mother and Luke. "Seriously?! Your biological mom and Luke are planning on taking you away?! I can't accept this!"
"Well Mother Shark I have no control over this."
"Nope! Nopeity nope nope! I can't accept this!"
"I'm with Mother Shark on this one Clary. I don't want to see you go. You are my best friend and I can't imagine my life without you and I-"
"On this one?! What is that supposed to mean?! Also, what am I, chopped liver?!" Simon gave me a look that said 'Seriously?! Why do you hate me Mother Shark?!' Suddenly I heard the worst noise known to man kind. Wait... never mind... Eric started his poem...
"I'm gonna get coffee... It's too early for this kind of torture with out coffee. You two want anything?" They both told me what they wanted and I went up to order. Simon came up with me.
"Mother Shark why did you interrupt me?"
"Because you left me out of your little monologue, I was starting to feel like a third wheel."
"Oh sorry about that. It's just..."
"I know. I know. Clary and I are the only girls you know. Since I'm too much of a mother so it would be weird. That leaves Clary."
"Ummm... yeah... you summed that up nicely Mother Shark."
"I know." We waited for the coffee. I looked over at where Clary was and saw that she ran out. I flipped out. "I gotta go child. Take care!" I bolted out of the place leaving behind a confused Simon. I quickly picked up on her trail and followed her.
She ran inot her apartment building and I followed not too far behind. When I burst in Clary was trying to fight... well... noting. I was confused. Suddenly she fell with a cry of pain and was bleeding. "Child!" I ran to her.
"Natalie! B-behind you!" I looked behind me but nothing was there. Suddenly I was knocked back by a great force. Something was on me and I can't see it! I try to put up a struggle but I don't know what I am dealing with.
"Natalie! Hit it!"
"Where is it?!"
"You can't see it?!"
"Yes I can't! Would I be doing this if I could see it?!"
"I'll tell you where to hit!"
"OK."
"Kick to your right! Three O'clock!" I do that and my foot hits something with a crunch.
"Now where?"
"To your-" I heard a sound at the door way. There was a boy with pale blonde hair and a weird black get up standing there. I looked back at Clary. She passed out. Blood loss maybe? That was the fist thing that came to me. I rushed over to stop the bleeding but I was hit from behind and blacked out.
