The world in the shadow

Morning Star

\Waking up with my husbands in my room. I remember that Lydia was going back to Idris in a few hours. ''Alec, Jace, I'm going to see Lydia. She's gonna leave soon to Idris'' I say. ''Okay, we will see you later'' Alec says and I give them all a kiss. Walking through the halways I see Maryse. ''Maryse, can I ask you if you've seen Lydia?'', ''Yeah, she's probably in Roberts office packing her stuff'', ''Thank you'', ''Welcome to the family. I can't be more happy for you guys. Maybe soon we will have little children running around'' she says making me blush. ''Maryse. You're making the girl flustered'' Robert says. ''welcome to the family'' he says. ''Thank you, but I should really find my cousin'' I say. They nod and I walk to the office she would be in. Walking in her office I see her lieing down unconsious. ''Lydia!'' I yell out running to her. ''Help! Somebody get help'' I yell and activate her healing rune. ''Magnus, get help please'' I yell as he runs in. He rushes off to get some help for my cousin. ''You're gonna be okay'' I say. ''Hodge'' she groans out. 

''How's Lydia?'' Clary asks as I walk up to them. ''Magnus is doing what he can to help her, but it's bad'' I say with tears in my eyes. Jace takes me in to his arms as Alec grabs my hand in support. ''And the cup is definitely missing''. ''So is Hodge'' Jace says. ''Maybe he was attacked, too'' Izzy says. ''Maybe he's the one who attacked her'' Clary says. ''Hodge? No, way. We've known him our entire lives. He would never do that to us'' Isabelle says as we look through security footage. We see the scene play in front of us. Hodge beating Lydia and taking the cup. ''I led him right to the Cup'' Jace says. ''We treated him like family'' Alec says everyone not believing it. ''How could he do this to us?''. We see him in a other footage by Jocelyns body. ''That's how. What is that ring?'' Clary says. ''It looks like he's talking to someone'' I say. ''And I can bet who it is'' Jace says angry. ''Valentine''. ''Well, that explains how he deactivated the punishment rune, but it doesn't explain where he got the ring'' Alec says. ''You think someone smuggled it past the wards?'' Clary asks. ''Maybe. Hodge wasn't the only ex-circle member around here'' Jace says. ''Look, I know I don't always see eye to eye with my parents, bu I know they're not traitors'' Izzy says defending them. ''Really? Isn't that what you just said about Hodge?'' Jace remarks back. ''It'd have to be someone we trusted, but if there was an intruder inside the institute we would have found them by now'' Jace says. ''What about the forsaken attack?'' I suggest. ''No, we killed that thing, and I didn't see a ring'' Alec says. ''me neither but it is a posibility'' I say. ''He didn't have one during the autopsy, but maybe there's something in the footage'' Izzy says pulling up the footage. We over see the footage where Hodge and I were fighting the Forsaken. ''Go to the other camera'' Alec says. ''There'' Jace says as we see Hodge pull out a ring from the forsaken. ''So it wasn't a random attack'' Alec says. ''He was just the delivery boy'' Jace says. ''If he gives that cup to Valentine, he'll create an army of shadowhunters. With that kind of power behind him, he'll kill thousands'' Alec says. ''He'll kill thousands just creating the army. Most mundanes can't survive that'' Izzy adds. ''We won't let that happen'' Clary says. ''I'm gonna make sure of it'' Jace says walking away. 

''Jace. I know your mad right now, But Hodge could be dangerous'' Clary says. ''Two os us, one of him'' Jace says. ''Check the math, but I'm pretty sure he's outnumbered''. ''What is with you? Would you just talk to me for a second?'' Clary says frustrated by Jace. ''Lydia, Hodge. All this is happening because I didn't stop Valentine'' he says. ''You cannot let emotions cloud your judgement'' I say to him. ''your words remember?'' Clary says. ''When I first wanted to find my mom, I didn't care about anyone else. But you were the one that thaught me that it's about a world that's bigger than us''. ''That's why you guys need to wake her up. She was his prisoner and his wife.If anyone can stop him, she can'' Jace says looking at me and Clary. ''Jace, listen to me-'' Clary begins again. ''You can do this'' he adds. ''I'm coming with you'' I say. ''No'' both Jace and Alec say. ''Why not?'', ''We don't want you to get hurt'' Alec explains ''And you should also be here for when the are gonna wake up Jocelyn''. ''okay'' I say. ''But please be careful. I want you guys to come back to me'', They kiss me on my lips and leave to track Hodge.
