A Mortal Instrument Fanfic

The Note

Jace

I was awoken by a girl who snuggled in to my side. I laid my arm protectively around Clary´s waist and smile. She was safe. Safe with me. I slowly drifted off to sleep when a thought found its way to my brain. This isn´t Clary. Clary isn´t safe. You don´t know where Clary is. I sat abruptly up and looked down. There laid a mundane girl with blonde hair. She was naked her arm covered her breast and the coverlet cover her waist and down. It was Elsie. I sighed and stood up walked to my dresser and too out black jeans and a white T-shirt. I was just about to throw the T-shirt on when the doors opened and Alec and Izzy both stuck their heads in

“Oh the slut is still here… Joyful” Izzy said sarcastically

“Be nice, Iz” Alec warned her

“What will you do if we found Clary? What will you say to her?” Izzy asked me

“She is already married. And has a lot of boy´s who is locking after her” I answered plainly. But it did hurt to know I was not one of them

“Yeah… but she clearly loves you” Alec said.

“Mom… she want us in the library” Izzy said and we walked out the door.

We sat around the table in the library. Maryse stood at one end and Magnus sat beside her. She was holding a note; the paper was delicate and expensive. It was clearly written by hand.

“My children” Maryse begun “I got a note. A note from a lost friend”

There was a silence in the room.

“Who was it from?” Izzy asked

“Clarissa Morgenstern” Maryse answered. She is alive! “I will read it for you”

“Dear friends of the New York institute” she paused “I know there has been a long time. And I just wanted you to know that I´m fine. Or at least as fine I can be. I know what Jonathan has done to the world of shadow hunters and I don´t support him. I actually do the opposite; I hate him for what he´s done to all of you, to my friends, to my beautiful child and the world. I will try to send another note, but it´s hard, the point of this letter is for you guys to know, I plan on killing Jonathan. I´m the only one who can do it. I might not survive. So this might be a goodbye – remember I love you, take care of each other and love to the fullest. I did and I lost myself, don´t does that. Don´t change who you are just because you are broken. I could tell you I´m sorry that I left ten years ago, but I´m not. How can I be sorry for that? I got hurt in the process but If I didn´t leave we would not be able to stop Jonathan. I´m sorry for the decision I took. I thought he was a good man. I was broken and needed someone to fix me. He didn’t fix me. He changed me and I didn’t even see it. So take care of each other. Love big. Live happy and don´t forget me.

Love, Clarissa”

You could hear a pin fall in the room, it was so quiet

“Where is it sent from?” Magnus asked “The post mark?”

“Italy” Maryse answered “But we can´t look for her. I´m sorry, but she is going to kill Sebastian. We need hi gone. The clave would sacrifice one shadow hunter to get rid of him. He has done terrible things. And you know she would be punished if she returned”

“But mom…” Isabelle begun

“No”

“Mother… we can´t let her do that” Alec said

“I´m sorry, I know she was your friend” she said and left the room. I was just quiet and stood still. My worst nightmare could come true. Clary could die.

“Are you okay?” Alec´s voice asked me and he had a hand on my shoulders

“No… She could die… they want her to die…”

“They want Sebastian gone… but I will track her through the letter. We will not leave her to her destiny” Magnus said

I nodded and sunk deeper down in the chair.

Five days later

“I know where she is!” Magnus suddenly gasped. Izzy was asleep. Simon was reading a book and alec and I were sparring in the library while we waited

“You found her?” Izzy asked in a tired voice. We all had stopped and was staring at Magnus.

“She is in Florence” Magnus said proud “We leave in two days”
