destined angel (on hold)

The decent into hell isn't easy -2 

I sit on Jaces lap on the way back and he holds me close. When the van stops him and Alec both help me out and onto the ground which makes me smile as I look at the creepy wood around us. "Yeah this place isn't creepy, not at all."

I laugh at Simon before speaking. "I have no idea what your on about si."

"Don't tell me you're afraid?" Izzy asks

"Pst, are you kidding I was born afraid which sounded alot cooler in my head." Simon said making me giggle.

"Let's check it out." Alec said as him izzy and Jace go to follow.

I go yo follow after them but Jace stops me. "Wait here a miniutes I want to see if it's safe." I nod and stay put with Simon and Clary.

"Why are we doing this?" Simon asked before I turned to face him. "We don't even know these people."

"So what Si, two of them are my soulmates and they're like me and Clary." I say slightly annoyed.

"So they say." He mutters and I turn away not wanting to listen to him anymore.

"Adelina, come on its all clear." Jace says with his hand out while I run up to him and grab it as Clary and Simon follow behind us.

"You have to understand the silent brothers aren't like us." Jace says as we walk further towards the entrance.

"What they lack your charm and superior people skills?" I joke.

"Yeah, most people do." I just shake my head and laugh. "The brothers communicate without using words. Using just their thoughts."

"Creepy."

"That doesn't sound so bad." Clary said from behind us.

"Don't let thier silence fool you, they'll hold the soul sword above your head and with its nlade carve the truth from your mind." Jace explains to Clary which cause me to shiver. He looks down at me before letting go of my hand and shrugging off his jacket and passing it to me as I quickly put it on. "If you're not strong enough you will die."

I tune out the rest of their conversation not wanting to hear any more of it.

When we reach the entrance I freeze and tune out everything just staring at the dark entrance. I cling onto Jaces arm not wanting to let go.

I can't be hear anymore so Jace I'm going to go mind the perimeter." Alec says and I look up at him.

"I'm coming." I say as I run up to him and grab his hand in mine. Alec smiles at me as we walk away from everyone else.

We stay in relative silence until Alec decides to speak up. "How are you holding up?" He asks softly making me smile.

"I'm doing alright, I want mum back and I'm worried about Dot but im gald I met each of you. I finally feel like I've found what I've born looking for." I say absently.

We soon get back to the entrance with Izzy and Simon. Alec leans against the wall and I lean against him.

"So is cracking someone's mind open sopossed to take this long or, maybe we or you should go check." I giggle at Simon but know he's only looking out for Clary.

"Jace has got this covered." Is Alecs sharp reply as he wraps and arm around my waist and pulls me closer. It's very clear he doesn't like Simon.

"Take my word for it, the silent brothers are quiet unpleasant." Izzy says and I shiver pulling Jaces jacket tighter around me as I lean further into Alec.

"That's not helping." Simon says as he turns back to the fire. "What if Clary can't handle the brothers then-"

"It literally never stops talking." Alec cuts him off making em giggle.

"Simons not an it he's a he duh." I say in a light tone.

"Is he always so charming?" Simon asks and I smirk and turn around so I'm facing Alecs chest.

"First born, heavy is the head that wears the crown." Izzy says and I start to blank out their conversation.

I only tune back in when I hear footsteps coming out of the city of bones and I turn to see Clary walking out with Jace following after her.

"What happened, what'd you find out?" Alec asked as he pushed off the wall to face them both with me in his arms.

"Valentine is Clarys father." Jace says quietly.

"Wait a miniute, your telling me this girl shows up out of nowhere and she's Valentine's daughter. Did it occur to you that she might might be a spy that this might be part of her plan." Alec starts to get louder but I cut him off.

"You mean daughters. He's my father too."

"That's not possible Valentine was gone years before you were born." Jace points out but I shake my head.

"No becuase I was born before Clary but put under a spell that stopped me from aging as I healed and I woke up a year after Clary was born still as a newborn." I point out before they go bavk to their previous discussion.

"You think I planned for my mum to get kidnapped, or for Dot to be taken or to have a giant sword dangle over my head and find out my father is one of the most dangerous people in geh world. Really." Clary pauses as Izzy walks over minus Simon. "Where's Simon?"

"I told him to stay in the van." Izzy says which causes panic to rise up inside of both me and Clary. "I've searched everywhere." I feel my heart start to race as blood starts rushing to my limbs.

"He's gone?" I ask lightly hoping it's not true.

"I can't find him." Izzy says quietly.

"You were supposed to protect him." Clary shouts before walking off.

I run after her. "Clary we'll find Simon there's no need to be rude." However she ignores me and starts screaming Simons name while I search for him silently only to catch a glimpse of something of some type of scaffolding up high. I grab Clarys arm and post up at the barely viewable figures.

"Is thar the mundanes name." A voice calls from where I'm pointing. "I'm afraid Simons coming with us." I move my eyes from the two figures to Simon hanging upside down as I quickly try to formulate a plan to get him back.

"No, no. He's not a part of this." Clary says.

"And it will be my pleasure to kill you unless you return him." Jace says.

"Careful." Alec warns Jace as my plan begins to come together. "We'd be violating the accords.

"I'm afraid, your sidekicks quiet right. The night children have broken no laws. We're negotiating, the mundane unharmed in exchange for the mortal Cup. And the clock is ticking tick took people." He says and I run before anyone can stop me. I leap up and push off one piece of scaffolding and in less than three seconds am standing where they ones were being only a second too late.

"Simon no, Simon." Clary shouts out.
