In which Valerie finds out that her whole life existence was to go on a secret quest that her father has assembled to in which herself has no clue about.
As an unidentified Shadowhunter, Valerie and the rest look for Jocelyn as well as finding Valer...
"Simon could you please stop judging me." I said, it was more of a statement. I was dipping my fries to my ice cream, and he judges me for it.
Simon and I were sitting at McDonald's, it was around 2am. We sort of ran away from the Institute. God only knows what would happen to us both when the others found out.
A few minutes went by, the place was really quiet, even the cashier girl wasn't in her place. I knew something was up.
"Simon, don't move. Don't freak out." I muttered and he was confused, scared, and high alerted at the same time. "If I scream, get the hell out of here and ran as fast as you can." I stood up from my seat, and made my way outside.
I looked around to see nothing, but something felt weird and different. I decided to walk towards the dark and I heard some little noises which makes me go on full alert.
When I heard a small 'swoosh', I took out my blade and turned around, only to meet with Jace. I let out my breath, feeling so relieved that it was only him.
"McDonald's huh?" He looked at the food place before chuckling.
"Jace, I'm sorry that I snuck out and-" I cut myself when Jace had his face plastered with confusion. I looked away from him when Simon decided to come out of McDonald's.
"Hey buddy, we gotta go now." Jace said, looking at the mundane who he usually hates. Hm.. Jace hated Simon's guts. I looked at Jace and saw him smiling and waving at Simon.
Then, it hits me, it was a shapeshifter.
"Simon," I said plainly, trying to act cool. "Run the fuck away from here!" I shouted and the demon looked at me before turning to its form, it pushed me to the ground and I lost contact with my blade.
Simon has ran away from the perimeter to God knows where, I got up and run towards my seraph blade, but the demon once again pinned me against the floor.
The pain that I felt on my waist was the last thing I knew before collapsing completely.
➰➰➰
I woke up to the worst headache ever, I looked around me and I was surprised that I was laying on a bed in the infirmary.
"Goodness me Val," Clary said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Are you alright?" She asked, sitting closer to me. Before I could answer, Jace, Izzy and Alec entered the room.
"The cameras were blocked, we couldn't identify them, or it, whatever it was." Jace announced and I raised my brow.
"Identify what?" The first thing that came to my head was my current unidentified shadowhunter profile.
"She was totally out, wasn't she?" Izzy said, making her way towards my bed and stood next to it. "You were brought to the institute by someone," She said and I furrowed my brows together.
"You were dropped inside of the institute by the door, no one seemed to have a clue who it was or what it was that brought you here." Jace said and I got chills.
"It could've been a Shadowhunter, no downworlders could get an access to the institute without an invite." Alec said with his arms crossed.
I then remembered I was attacked by a shapeshifter, I pulled the cover off my body to check on the wound that was on my waist. My whole legs were exposed, at the fact that I was wearing nothing but an oversized tshirt with no pants whatsoever, in the corner of my eyes, the guys had looked away.
I placed my hand over it and it was totally healed, I felt no pain at all, but I did felt a bit of burning on my right wrist, where the mystery rune was placed.
"Oh yeah, for some reason, your rune on your wrist was activated, but it was still burning even after awhile. So Alec drew a rune on you." Clary said and I nodded my head, noticing a healing rune on my right forearm.
"Thanks," I said. "Why was the rune still burning?" I asked, referring to the rune that was on my wrist.
"It's a promise rune, but we've got no idea why." Alec explained. "My guess is whoever drew that promise rune on you, saved your life, and activated the rune."
"Alright that's not creepy at all." I said sarcastically. I stood up from the bed earning some glances. Suddenly, I heard some voices.
"Valerie."
"You know what to do, princess."
"Val!" I heard Clary raising her voice, I looked at her in confusion. "You should get some rest,"
I nodded my head, the others starts to leave my room leaving me alone.
Well, not alone, I realized.
I looked up and saw Alec still standing in the same position, he had his hands crossed, and by the look of his face I think he was going to lecture me.
"Whatever you're going to say, just.. Shoot it." I sighed.
"What's the point of sneaking out of the institute? You knew you were going to be attacked." He said. "It's childish, sneaking out like that." He said bluntly.
"Look, you wanna know the reason why I snuck out?" I asked, looking at him. He gave me that 'what' look. "I was hungry. There's no food here and-"
"Wait, so you're telling me that the reason you snuck out was because you were hungry?"
"Starving, actually." I corrected him and he raised his brow.
