Chapter 9

Ready. Aim. Fire.

I was in the armory hiding from Clary when Isabelle appeared." hi Rissa"

" hello" I greeted, not looking up." What are you doing."

" just looking, I've noticed these don't glow like Jace's did"

" because they haven't been named yet"

" named?" I asked confused and she laughed. Alec appeared giving us weird looks" what's so funny" he asked.

" nothing" we both said and he rolled his eyes. I picked up a bow and smiled, aiming it. I fired and the arrow landed inches from Alec's head." Where did you learn to that"

" Luke took us camping once, taught me to shoot but I wouldn't kill anything, not even a fish" I mumbled putting the bow back. Jace appeared and looked from the arrow in the wall to me." I'm not even going to ask" he shook his head with a sigh. I picked the bow back up and Isabelle smirked" pretty good shot"

" thank you" I heard footsteps and sighed as Simon appeared around the corner. He stopped when he saw me holding the bow and the arrow next to Alec's head. Isabelle showed me how to shrink it and I wore it like a bracelet. I found Clary sketching in the room and sat next to her, making her jump. I looked at what she was drawing my eyes widened, it was Jace but he looked like an angel." Seriously?" I asked and she shrugged before going back to her' doodle'.

" I don't see why you don't use your art talent, Rissa"

" because I don't have one, in case you haven't noticed" she raised an eyebrow before flipping to a clean page and handing it to me. I sighed before, I just started drawing and before I knew it, I had drawn Mom and me, the version in the dream. I gave it to Clary when I was done and her eyes widened." It looks so real, are you sure you don't have moms talent"

" I'm sure" I mumbled before getting up and teleporting to the roof of the apartment but when I got there, Valentine stood waiting.

" hello, Marissa" I glared crossing my arms. He walked toward me and I was about to teleport away from him when he stopped me" don't bother using your ability, I have the area spelled so you can't"

" where is my mother" I snapped at him and glared" don't worry, she's perfectly safe, you'll see her soon enough anyway" I frowned.

" what do you mean" I asked

" you'll find out soon, Marissa"

" my name is Rissa, I refuse to use the name you gave me because your not my father" I snapped and he grabbed my arm." Such stubborn child, much like your mother" he whispered. I pulled my arm free and turned to run only to see two men blocking my way. I turned back to him glaring" your not going anywhere, Marissa, not yet at least" I looked over at the edge of the roof before jumping, I grabbed ahold of the stairs leading along the building and pulled myself up. I looked up to see him glaring down at me." Bring her back" I heard him yell as I ran down the alleyway.

I ran for blocks before I finally lost them then I tried to teleport it worked and I managed to get to the institute, scaring Clary so much she fell off her bed. I laughed and she glared at me" don't do that, Rissa, its not funny. Speaking of where were you and where do you go every time you disappear". I sighed, of course she would ask.

" I went back to the apartment" her eyes widened.

"Are you crazy" she yelled making me jump " what if your caught"

" I can teleport, I won't get caught" I smiled and she sighed.

" what's got you all stirred up tonight, Clary" I asked and she looked at me sadly" I know who our could be"

" what do you mean" I mumbled looking at my hands.

" Hodge told me, that mom may have been another person before we were born and that she was married to Valentine"  when I didn't say anything she frowned" you don't look surprised by this"

" because I already knew" I mumbled tears in my eyes.

" Rissa, are you alright" she got up and sat next to me.

" its why I passed out yesterday, I went back to the apartment but I didn't go inside, he was on the roof. I ran from him by teleporting across the street but he caught up with me and I teleported back here and you know the rest"

" did he say where she was" I shook my head.

" I'm going to the Silent brothers tomorrow " she told me and I nodded" just be careful". She got up and back on her bed, while I rolled over and fell asleep.
