Shadowhunters | [ON HOLD]

Chapitre 2

Katiana's POV

I join Blake in a hurry to tell her I have to get home quickly and that I'm sorry for cutting our night short. I give her a kiss on the cheek and run to my motorcycle and hop on.

When I enter the room, I see mom passing the 'family heirlom' on her arm, showing of the same tattoos there was on the other guys, and the girl, that killed those 'people'.

"What the fuck is going on mom?" She glances at me but doesn't answer me as she focuses her attention back on my sister. Ouch. Not surprising but still. Dot enters the room and tells mom to look out the window.

"They found us..." says mom. "It's time," she tells Dot, who nobs in answer.

"Mom? Who found us? What's going on?" I could hear the slight panick in my sister's voice. Dot makes some movements with her hands and some kind of hole opens on the wall. She drags me next to my sister, as mom takes her shoulders.

"I'm sorry Clary, I wish I had more time to tell you, but right now I need you to focus okay? Where's Luke right now Clary?"

"He's at the police station," I pipe up. Mom nobs and tell us to think about it. As she pushes us trought the hole, I notice a necklace on Clary's neck. Damn mom really went out on gifts for her huh?

We hit the floor of the police station and I look over to find Clary looking distraught. I don't blame her if course, I feel the same way, I just hide it better. I think.

"Girls? What are you doing here? It's 2 a.m."

"Captain Vargas! Luke told us to come here to give us a lift back home," I lie on spot.

"Still doesnt trust the cabbies huh? And if that's so why do you have your helmet Katiana?" she inquires.

"I forgot I was driving at some point and took a drink so, it's safer for everyone if I don't drive." Man, I'm a good liar. Mom always hated that.

"Okay then girls, Luke is busy for now but you can wait for him at the cafeteria."

"Will do. See you soon Captain!" I call out to her as she walks away.

"See you!" she calls back.

I like the captain, she's nice. I turn back to Clary and see her walking down the hall, not in the direction of the cafeteria but rather Luke's desk. I roll my eyes and catch up to her. I pull her behind the stairs with me when I see two people talking to him.

"The second we found out Jocelyne Fairchild was alive you were easy to track," says one man and I frown. Fairchild? I hear him say something about 'the Circle' and the woman speaks up.

"You can have them if you give up the Mortal Cup."

"I don't care about any of them. They mean nothing to me. Kill them if you'd like," is Luke's answer. I feel my heart squeeze as well as Clary's hand in mine.

"My people want the cup. Why do you think I've been hanging around all those years? Now when I find the Cup, I'm gonna keep it. And you can say that to the Circle and Valentine." And I swear I could feel everything around me crumbling appart. I didn't listen to the answer the unknow people gave, too focused on the fact that my father figure, who has been more present for me than Jocelyne ever was, the first person I came out to, who taught me how to fight and hugged me when I felt down, doesn't care. About me, or my sister or even my mom.

I snap out of my thoughts as I see Clary running out. I quickly follow her, wipping my tears. I quickly figure out she's running back home and when she arrives, she calls out for mom. Seeing the house in a mess, she takes an axe and I carefully put one hand on my knife, ready to take it out any minute. We get in the living room and see Dot. Clary drops her axe and calls out her name.
