Hi! I know that I haven't been updating like at all, but I've begun writing again and hopefully I'll keep writing! Here is the next chapter of The Forgotten and it would be great if you guys could review and give me feedback!

As morning came, the bright light came through the window and Clary stirred in her sleep.

She opened her eyes, and groaned as the light from the sun hit her eyes. She turned over, and her back faced the sun. She breathed a sigh of content, and a smile appeared on her face.

Even though the news that Magnus brought yesterday upset her, she felt very satisfied with her life. She may not have her memories, but she prayed that they would come back. In the mean time, she needed to enjoy her life. She couldn't let her entire world stop because of her memories.

But there was something that unsettled her, and that was Will. The way he spoke was familiar, and his appearance was very familiar to her too.

Clary was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of knocking on her bedroom door. She stood up, and walked to the door, and pulled it open. In front of her stood Tessa. Her dark brown hair was in a bun, and she was wearing a light pink dress. Clary smiled at her, and Tessa returned it.

"Hello Clary, I hope I didn't wake you." Tessa said.

"No. I was already awake." Clary replied, her green eyes locking with Tessa' grey eyes.

Tessa nodded, and Clary wondered what she was doing at her bedroom door.

"Is there something you wanted?" Clary asked her.

"Well, yes." Tessa began. "I was wondering if you would come dress shopping with Jessmine and I."

Clary looked at her, and she wasn't sure what exactly to say. Apart of her didn't want to go, but another part of her didn't want to leave Tessa alone with Jessamine.

"Of course, I would love to."

Tessa's smile looked relieved, and Clary bid her goodbye to prepare for the shopping trip.

Clary looked at the two dresses on her bed, and Sophie was waiting patiently behind her. Clary didn't know which she wanted to wear and it was frustrating her. One was simple and blue, whilst the other was green and slightly flashier.

The green dress would look good on her, but the blue dress was very lovely.

Clary heard a knock on her door, and Sophie went to open it. Clary's eyes didn't leave the dresses and her eyes narrowed at them.

"What did those dresses ever do to you?" A voice said, startling Clary out of her focus.

She turned to look at Will, whose face had a smirk on it, and his eyes glinted in amusement. She glared at Will for a moment then turned back to the dresses.

"I don't know which dress to wear out today." Clary responded.

"Uh, so you're going on that dreaded shopping trip." Will said.

"Why are you here?" Clary asked, aware that she sounded slightly rude.

"I was sent here to tell you that the Lightworms will be arriving at the institute later on." Will told her, rolling his eyes.

"Fine." Clary replied. There was something strange about Will and the slightly familiar tone that he used.

"There's no need to be so snappy." Will told her.

"I'm not snappy," she replied, sending him a small glare.

"And I'm unattractive," Will said sarcastically.

"Not everything is about you." Clary said.

Will laughed and Clary was aware of him leaving her room. She looked back at the dresses and sighed.

"Wear the green dress." Will stated, "It matches your eyes."

Dress shopping was something that Clary did not particularly enjoy. Or maybe it was just dress shopping with Jessamine that Clary didn't like. Both of those theories made sense.

Tessa seemed to be having little fun as Jessamine dragged them to different shops and made them wait while she tried on dresses, or she forced both Tessa and Clary to try them on and buy them. Clary fiddled with her dress and glared at nothing in particular.

"This is a nightmare," Clary hissed to Tessa.

The dark haired girl nodded in agreement as they stood listening to Jessamine speaking with a shop owner.

"How many dresses can she buy?" Tessa asked.

"A lot apparently." The red haired girl replied.

"Tessa," Clary said. "Who are the 'Lightworms'?"

Tessa laughed and rolled her eyes.

"Lightworm is a name Will made up." She said, "The name is Lightwood."

Clary didn't know why she felt a pang in her chest as she heard Tessa speak the name. She wondered if she knew someone with the last name Lightwood.

Clary looked up as Jessamine approached them, and Clary breathed in sharply.

"Well, I suppose we should be going back to the institute." Jessamine sighed mournfully.

"Oh thank god." Clary said, causing Tessa to giggle and Jessamine to glare at her.

Jessamine huffed and walked out of the store and to the carriage, the girls following behind.

It didn't take too long to arrive back at the institute and the institute was a welcoming sight to Clary.

Clary practically leapt out of the carriage as it stopped and she quickly walked inside the institute. She stopped walking as she stepped inside, and she waited for Tessa to catch up.

When she did, the two girls walked down the different hallways until they arrived at the dining room. Tessa opened the door and they walked inside.

Clary noticed the environment in the rom was tense. She noticed that Will was glaring, Jem looked stressed and tired, and Charlotte looked troubled. There were three new occupants that Clary had never seen before.

One of the men was an older man with graying hair that held a slight resemblance to the younger men. The second man looked to be around 20 years old, with brown hair and green eyes. He had a stockier build than the younger man who looked slightly older than Will. He had brown hair, green eyes and he was quiet tall. He could be considered attractive, but compared to Will, he was quiet plain.

"Tessa, Clary, welcome back." Charlotte said, a slight smile on her features.

"Benedict, this is Clary, the woman I was telling you about." Charlotte told the older man, now known as Benedict.

"Clary, these are the Lightwoods."
