"I still don't understand. How can Shadowhunters be better than what you call mundanes?" Clary ask as we walk into the institution.
"Because we protect mundanes." Isabelle stated and I snorted.
"You're right. Humans. You protect humans. You left Simon all alone in the van. Great job, guys. You rock." Not masking my sarcasm at all.
"There is some truth to the idea that human beings should have a modicum of common sense." Alec said and I took one step forward only to have Clary holding me back.
"Alec, not now." Izzy scold her brother.
"Look, they won't do anything to Simon. They just wanted to draw you out. They want the cup, and they think you and Clary have it." Jace intervenes the conversation.
"But why would they think that? Why would anyone think that?" Clary ask.
"What our mom lied to us our entire life, except oh, by the way, there's this magic cup I hid on, like, planet bongo, but don't tell anyone." Clary ranted while I stayed quiet about the situation.
"What are we supposed to do now?" I ask, finally coming in.
"We have to report to the Clave." Alec is the first to walk further into the institute with the rest of us following behind.
"Great." Jace grunts out.
"They have to know what we've learned about Valentine." Alec says and I roll my eyes.
"What that he's our father?" I ask while my eyebrow rose and Alec turns around.
"Great. Fine. Tell them." Clary dares and I look at her shocked. Damn Clary, look at your new found confidence.
"What good does that do Simon?" She ask and Jace interrupts her and says something.
"Clary, it's all connected. They just want the Cup." He says.
"Why? It just makes new Shadowhunters." I ask while stating the obvious.
"Nobody wants Valentine forming an army loyal to himself." Alec says and my heart breaks a little, was the old Valentine I met just a fake?
"Plus, it controls Demons." Izzy informs and my eyes widen. How does a Cup control Demon's like What the fuck...
"They'll propose a trade. Simon for the Cup." Jace looks at the both of us and I shake my head. This trade would cost me my mother.
"So, vampires will trade Simon for the Cup, and Valentine will trade our mother for the Cup." Clary says and interrupt her.
"Either way, we lose someone we love." I run my hands through mt hair and sigh.
"What if we just toss it in the air and let them fight amongst themselves." Clary sighs and I hit her at her sarcasm.
"So this doesn't matter to you?" Alec rolls is eyes.
"Yes! Of course it matters!" I raise my voice looking at Alec.
"Listen.. When you saved our lives. I put my trust in you, same with Clary. Now, I need you to put your trust in us." Looking at Jace I can see him holding in a breath and both Izzy and Alec looking at me.
"We can't turn into what you are overnight." Clary says and I nod in agreement. Izzy then decides to speak up defending us.
"It's true. They were raise as mundanes." She spoke and I gave her a small smile.
"What are you? Their spokesmen?" Alec's sarcasm is going to get him a punch in the face one day... by me.
"We don't need a spokesmen. We need a plan." I walk away stating the obvious going farther into the institute.
