"Emily!" I jolted up sweating heavenly and with an uneven breathing as I recall last night's events to calm myself down as I looked around and realised that i'm at this institute and not at my home

"Morning Veronica," Isabelle's voice reached my ears as she entered the room and rushed to my side seeing me hyperventilate

"My sister....Emily," I said as she got me a glass a water while I settled my breathing in the meantime

"Jace! Al-"

"Isabelle don't. I need some privacy right now," I cutt off Isabelle before she could call anyone as she nods taking her place beside me

"You're safe here and we'll help you out with whatever it is," she said as I nodded in response taking slow sips of the water

"Thank you," Recovering my breath I respond as she passes me a few outfits to change into after dressing the wound as Clary entered the room without notice

"Hi guys," she chimed in as I almost dropped the glass in my hand, she was also carrying some outfits for me to try just in case Isabelle's don't fit me

"Go on and try," Clary psuhes me towards the bathroom as I get in for a quick shower covering the wound and try both of their outfits

"I think I'll go with Isabelle's they fit me quite good, just a bit tight," I say walking out the bathroom with wet dripping hair and my shoulder covered by the towel

"Izzy likes to keep her body free, you could say that," Clary says as I take a good look at myself in the mirror and spot a rune on my arm

VERONICA'S OUTFIT

"Why is this on my arm?" I questioned while touching it to see if it hurts or not

"Why is this on my arm?" I questioned while touching it to see if it hurts or not

"I drew this when you were unconscious, it's a healing rune," Isabelle stated

"You drew what on my body?"

"Every shadowhunter has this," Isabelle stated as I saw the runes on her chest and collarbone  as well as Clary

"So last night what you're friend Jace said about you guys is true that you all are Shadow-hunters and all this supernatural crap is real?" I asked as we all settled on my bed

"Yeah it's all true Veronica, it's just not everyone knows about this. Though you don't have worry we're here to help and protect you" Isabelle said explaining me the basics of their world and I told them myself

"Isabelle," We heard a sudden voice at the door followed by a knock as Isabelle opened the door and the person standing there something which I couldn't catch but it seemed important seeing how the whole institute was in utter caos right now
