After finishing up with Jace. He never let go on how bad I actually was and it didn't make me feel to hot.

To be fair, I know how to fight if it where a life or death situation but putting me on the spot, isn't my type of tea.

"Your going to need a bit of work. Who am I kidding a lot of work" he laughed again reaching on the shelf for the book.

I glared at him while he gave me the book. "Yeah well while you've trained for oh I don't don't know? Your whole life I find it pretty easy for you to know what your doing!"

"I half expected you to know something about defending yourself. You lived with vampires?" He stated.

"Yeah, which I didn't know they were vampires. And don't get me wrong" I said looking down at my hands.

"I could still kick some ass, if it where a life or death situation!"

"Which it always is" he said laughing. I huffed walking with him, to where ever we were of to next.

"Maybe this meeting of someone will not fill you with dual, and sadness?"

~~~~~~~~~~

The hallways were almost empty, not being filled with woman my age now, giving me cold glares.

I took the glares as compliments once I had received enough of them. Knowing I got the glares made me know one thing for sure. Jace was known. And probably not for one of the best things either but, he was known.

And somehow he has taken a liking of me, so it's nice to atleast have someone that is willing to hang around with you.

He might have been forced by hodge now, but he wasn't forced when he came into my house just last night.

And he wasn't forced when he took me here in the first place. I was the one being forced.

"I'm gonna warm you.. Alec is a bit over the top on hating and not hating people. So this is basically your only chance with him. Isabella is a bit of a bitch" he flat out said.

"If there anything like you I'll get along with them just fine" I teased. He gave me a glare and I knew, I got to him.

"I'm actually being a lot kinder, to you then I would most. So you should actually be proud of me" he said smirking.

"Oh great job Jace, you didn't kill me the night we met so now we're great buds!" I said adding sarcastic jazz hands.

He didn't answer back with a snobby remark because he turned into yet another big and spacious room.

The door shutting loudly made the pair, of body's, quickly get up on there feet.

"I win she looks much more like me!" The girl spoke up, eying her brother from afar. "You've got to be utterly blind? She looks like me! Hello? Do you not see the facial features?" Alec said back to her.

Jace began to chuckle, and so did I. "Believe what your heart speaks out Alec, but she clearly looks like me!" Isabella remarked snaking a arm around my shoulder.

~~~~~~

Needless to say Jace left me with the two of them to be interrogated basically with the questions they asked.

"Where did you first end up at?" Alec asked sitting beside me in a chair.

"Actually I guess I was originally in London? That's the first place I actually remember being in. I just recently moved her to New York. I really wasn't expecting it to be this, exciting.?" I stated sarcastically.

Alec chuckled a bit but Isabella just smirked. "When did you guess.. uhm get to the institute?" I stated. It was now my turn to ask them some questions.

"We've lived here for quite some time. Maybe when we were at the age of four?" Isabella answered for the both of them. I nodded my head regretting the next question but I had to ask.

"Exactly where are, are parents?" I stated looking at the ground. I could feel that the answer wasn't going to be great so I just braced myself.

There was a giant pause in the air before Alec spoke up.

"They died late last year.. something went wrong in one of the hunts. And they were just there" he stated not wanting to push the subject.

I nodded my head, feeling sadness overwhelm my features.

I didn't mean to run out of them like this but I tried to be as most kind as I could be. Making up an excuse on how I needed to go find Jace for another place he needed to show me.

They quickly ushered me out of the door and I set back into my room. Shutting the door and quickly opening up the book.

June 13th, 1994 we're on search for Violet, but she is almost impossible to find. Robert has found it extremely hard for himself. He is absolutely gutted.

I've began to give up on hope on finding her. Raphael has certainly did a good job on hiding her.

~~~~~~~~~

Then the page was burnt leading the rest of it to not be seen again. I didn't realize it but tears rolled into the parchment.

I was to late. I failed them and now they've died thinking there daughters dead also. I threw the book onto the beds pillows and whipped around to see Jace in my door frame.

"Why am I even here" I mumbled immediately taking my sweaters sleeves to my eyes. I prayed by whipping my face my mascara didn't smudge, so not only I looked week but I looked like a raccoon.

He just shook his head and engulfed me into a hug. I was taken aback so I didn't intentionally react the way I think he hoped. So it was short and sweet but it helped.

"Your here to become a shadowhunter and to follow into your parents foot steps to make them utterly proud!" He stated still holding on to me.

I nodded my head and he let go of me, he just stood there now. It was noticeably awkward so I decided to ask him a bunch of questions again.

"When do you become a shadowhunter?" I asked him.

He huffed knowing exactly what I was doing. "I've been a shadowhunter since I was twelve years old actually?" He said smiling.

"Since you've asked me a load of questions can I ask you some?" He stated walking up to me and sitting down.

"I think that will be okay?" I stated smirking playing his own game. "I'm guessing you've stayed in London for awhile right? What part?" He asked me, this was actually a great question.

"I lived about everywhere high and mighty.. Manchester the most though" he nodded and continued on with questioning me.

"And why would you want to leave, to join shitty New York?" He eyed me and I began to laugh.

"Shitty New York was my escape!" I stated seeing him look down a bit and back at me. "Plus Manchester, wasn't the best place for me! It was crowded and very out going!"

"So you come to even more crowded and nasty New York, you insane!" He muttered. "I'm insane? Are you pissed?" I asked him raising my eyebrows.

"Trust me if I was pissed you would be to!" He said throwing an arm over my shoulder. "That doesn't sound half as bad" I shrugged smiling.

"Trust me you do not want to see me drunk!" He muttered trying not to laugh. "Try me, I've slept in a few bushes?" I stated but he gave me a pleased look.

"I've pissed in a couple of fountains!" He said making me die of laughter.
