BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

Clary rolls over and hits her alarm a few times before it finally shuts up. She groaned as she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling of her one bedroom apartment. She rolled out of bed and went into her kitchen and put two peices of bread in the toaster. As they cooked she went and got dressed in her room (outfit in the picture at the top). She left her bedroom having decided she didn't have time for a shower, she would get one tonight. She ate her toast, packed her bag and grabbed an apple on the way out the door. 

She arrived at art college a little late so she was almost jogging to class. She walked through the door and immediatly located her friend. Her class were sat in a massive lecture hall ready for their theory lesson, they're always the worst lessons because she doesn't actually get to do any art, but she knew what she was getting into. 

Clary POV:

I found Rachel in the crowds of students, she was sat with our other friends; Thomas (Tommy), Ben (Benny) and Katie (Kat). I walked up the stairs to the row they were sat in. Rachel spotted me and grinned then she frowned.

"Clary, what did colour ever do to you? You always wear black girll, everyday, without fail." 

"I know, sorry, it's instinct..." I said taking my seat "Although I never question you as to why you always look like a rainbow threw up on you..."

"Touche..." we grinned at eachother, we did this a lot. Bitched about eachothers clothes that is.

I was settling in and saying hi to the others

"Yo Clary! Do you have a spare pencil, mine died..." Benny held up a snapped pencil, I was inclined to say it wouldn't have died if he hadn't have murdered it but I refrained and just laughed

"Yeah sure , I'll get one out for you" I said reaching down to open my bag 

"Just pass me the bag I'll find one, you need to finish copying Rachel's notes" It was meant to be a sweet gesture but I couldn't take it as one. No one could go in my bag or they might see the seraph blade I had hiding in there. A seraph blade was a weapon used by shadowhunters and as part of my banishment I was allowed to take a maximum of three weapons for protection. I regularly carried a seraph blade around just incase

"No." I spat "Sorry, I just mean I found one already" I passed him a pencil and carried on with my notes. The proffessor finally came in and pointed at me to come down to the front. I had no idea what was going on. I got to his desk

"Clarrissa, I know you and your group had to miss out on the last lesson in the studio because of space so for this lesson you and your group can go and carry on with your installation in the studio" he said giving me a slip to leave the class

"Thank you sir!" I got my friends and we headed down to the art studio.  The second we got there my jacket came off and I had a paintbrush in my hand. I felt most calm and relaxed when I was painting, I always have.

About 10 minutes passed and I felt a strange feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. I felt like we were being watched, like I was being watched... I took my headphones out an told the others to be quiet whilst I listened. There was low snarling sound and I made my way over to by bag, I opened it pulled out my seraph blade and my stele. 

"Clary what's-" Rachel started to whisper 

"shhh!!" I cut her off but almost as if on queue one raum demon came in through the open window, and two others through the door. Me and my friends were surrounded and I was the only one there able to fight my way out. There was a sudden start of shouting and panic, I had to protect my friends. The first raum demon came my way, quickly, and I hit it with the hilt of my blade on it's head and it fell back. I named the blade Eremiel  and the white lit blade shot out. I jumped over the table and sunk my Eremiel into the raum's chest, it dissapeared. Then the other raum that came through the door was walking towards me. I threw a metal bowl at it's head and this gave me time, while it recovered, I drew a portal rune and as it opened gusts of wind started to rush through the room. "GO THROUGH THAT PORTAL!!" I shouted over the wind 

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON CLARY??" Tommy shouted

"LOOK GUYS I'LL EXPLAIN LATER RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE, JUST WALK THROUGH THE GLOWY THING AND IT SHOULD SPIT YOU OUT BY AN OLD RUN DOWN CATHEDRAL! DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ONCE YOU ARE THERE! PLEASE TRUST ME, I HAVE TO GET RID OF THESE BUT I'LL BE THERE IN A MINUTE!" I didn't think what I had been that convincing but then the two monsters with tenatacles behind me might have convinced them more than my little speech. They dissappeared through the portal I turned and faced the two raum demons, they had grouped up and were heading my way. As I cut one of them down the other got me with one of it's tentacles, nothing deep, it could be healed with an iratze, but it stung like a bitch. There was just one more left. 

I rolled across the closest table and sunk my blade deep into it's chest, and twisted the blade. It disapeared. I took less than a second to breathe, then went running for the portal. I jumped  through and landed in a roll onto my feet. What I see stops my breathing altogether, I hadn't been here in three years, my home, where everyone I know and love was. I turned to the others

"Are you guys okay?" I asked them

"I- we're fine... What the hell was that Clary!?" Katie asked

"That, that was a raum demon..."

"A demon?? You have got to be kidding me clary that is complete bs!" Rachel mocked 

"Whatever just follow me" I shrugged it off, they'd soon see

"Where are we going?" Benny asked

"In there" I said pointing to the cathedral and walking away. They would follow or they wouldn't, it was up to them.

I got to the doors and realised they had all come with, I put my hand to the door handle and turned it.

As I walked through the door I swear I could've passed out. Everything was exactly as I remember it, the arches and the paintings, the memorial plaques, everything. One of the guards came over and stopped me.

"Can I help you miss?" He said trying to be as intimidating as possible

"No thanks, I'm good! I just need to see Alec Lightwood!" I said with a smile and strutted past him. The key to a comeback is confidence. My friends followed close behind me. When we got ot the main opening of the building where all the shadowhunters worked, I knew there would be stares  and whispers, but my friends didn't

"Clary, why is everyone staring? is it because of us?" Tommy asked.

"No, not really. It's more because of me" I whispered back. I spot the head of messy black hair i'm looking for and he spots me.

"Clary! What are you doing here??" He calls across the room. Now everyone is looking at me "And with mundanes! By the angel, I'm having serious deja vu right now..."

"Ha ha ha Alec! The only reason I'm here is because I wanna know why 3 Raum demons just attacked me and my friends!" Everyone was silent, Alec gave them a glance and they all went back to work, chattering away

"Maybe we should talk in my office..."

"Nope, I don't plan on staying long. Let's talk right here" I stood my ground.

"Fine I almost forgot how stubborn you are, what happened?" He sighed. I explained exactly what happened, he asked a couple of shadowhunters to take my friends to have them checked out, make sure they weren't injured in the attack.

Just then I heard a shout from the training room

"WHAT!" There was a pause "SHE'S WHERE? WHAT!" Then no more shouting only running. 

Then he came around the corner. Blonde hair, golden eyes, everything exactly how I remember him.

He stopped in his tracks when he saw me, covered in demon ichor and blood, torn clothes and dirt covered face. 

"Clary?" His voice was softer this time, like he had seen a ghost. My heart was beating fast, and I coudldn't move.

"Jace..."
