15 year old Clary Fray has been on the run for the past year after she discovered the truth about who she really is. What happens when she is back in New York after being on the run for a year?
Clary's Pov- A year later "Hey Mel," I say as my best friend Melanie Belleweather walks into the training room of the L.A. Institute. We moved here from London after I got a fire message from Magnus Bane saying that my mom and Luke were going to London to look for me.
"Hey Clary," she says, "Andrew wants us in the library. He said something about a mission."
"I'm coming," I say jumping down from the ledge I was balancing on. We go to the library to see Andrew waiting with Helen, Mark, and Julian Blackthorn. Julian's best friend Emma Carstairs is there too.
"What is the mission?" Melanie asks.
"We need two of you four," he says pointing to Helen, Mark, Melanie, and me, "to go to the New York Institute. They need help dealing with some rogue downworlders and asked if we could send two shadowhunters."
"I can go," I say, "I used to live in New York."
"I am assuming that you want Melanie to go with you," he says, "go get your things and tell the children goodbye."
We nod and go to our rooms. I grab my bags and pack them for the fifth time in the past year. I head to the toy room where the younger Blackthorns are. Seven year old Drusilla runs up to me. The nine year old twins, Livvy and Ty do the same. I get down and give them all a hug.
"Jules said you are leaving on a mission," Ty says. I nod and Livvy holds a wrapped package out to me.
"This is for you as a thank you," Drusilla says.
"Thank you Dru. Thank you Livvy and Ty," I say as I walk over to baby Tavvy. I pick him up and give him a kiss on the head.
"Goodbye," I say to them, "I will miss you."
They all give me another hug before I go back to the library. I give Mark and Helen a hug. Julian gives me a hug.
"Help them take care of the children," I say, "I will miss you Jules."
"I promise. I will miss you too," he says. I turn to Emma and give her a hug.
"If you need anything call me," I tell her, "never leave Jules. Help the Blackthorns with the children and keep training."
She nods and gives me one last hug. I thank Andrew for everything before stepping into the portal after Melanie. We land in front of a familiar apartment and I knock on the door. Magnus opens it and lets us in. I give him a hug.
"Hey Magnus," I say.
"Biscuit what are you doing here?"
"We are here on a mission. We need to go to the New York Institute," I explain.
"I will take you there," he says before snapping his fingures. We are transported to the middle of a library. There is a girl with long raven hair sitting at a table practicing runes. She looks up at us.
"Where is the head of the institute?" Melanie asks her.
"Hang on," the girl says. She runs out of the room and I turn to Melanie.
Do I have to talk? I ask her with my mind. She mouths the word no. Magnus leaves as the girl returns with two people.
"I am Maryse Lightwood and this is my husband Robert," she says, "this is my daughter Isabelle. Alec and Jace are training."
"I am Melanie Belleweather and this is Clarissa Fairchild. We came from the Los Angelos Institute," Melanie says and I nod.
"Isabelle can show you to your rooms," Maryse says and we nod. We follow Isabelle to our new rooms. Her and Melanie tell each other stories. Isabelle turns to me.
"Where did you move to London from?" She asks.
"Clary doesn't talk," Melanie says, "not anymore. She did fine until we moved to L.A. then she started talking less and less."
Isabelle nods and let's us unpack our things. We hear voices coming from the hall and Melanie opens the door. There are two boys passing the room and they stop when the notice the door opening.
Whoa, I say to Melanie with my mind. She nods as the boys look in.
One has black hair and blue eyes. He looks like Isabelle and Mayrse. The other one has golden blond hair and golden eyes. I notice him staring at me. I glare at him and he looks away.
"Who are you?" The black haired boy asks.
"I am Melanie Belleweather and this is Clarissa Fairchild," Melanie says.
"I'm Alec and this is Jace," the black haired boy says.
