Remember Me - The Mortal Instruments - Clace Fanfiction

Chapter 5: Can I ever get my memories back? (Part 2)

 I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock. Why I even set the damn thing, I don't know. I get up around 7 each morning anyway, so does it matter? I press snooze on my alarm clock and sit up. I yawn and stretch as I get out of bed and put on some fresh clothes. I observe myself in the mirror in my bathroom; my hair needs to get brushed but not much, I put on a red long sleeved shirt. It's a little lighter than my hair, but the shirt isn't orange. I put on a pair of blue jeans; I seem to have a lot of those.

 I grab my brush from beside the sink and I brush out the tangles in my hair. Once done I exit my room and head down to the "living room". I'm not quite sure what else to call it I guess.

 Mom, Maryse, Simon, Isabelle, Alec, Jace, and even Magnus were waiting for me. Luke wasn't there, but I'm not sure why. Oh well, there's isn't really any time to pry at the moment. I try my best to relax my shoulders. I'm a little bit nervous. Should I be nervous? I don't know, I really don't know.

 "Are you ready?" Maryse asks me.

 I nod. I just want to get this done, and possibly get my memories back.... possibly. Maryse draws something on the wall, a rune I think and she takes a step back. I feel my jaw drop in surprise and in awe. A portal appears where the rune was on the wall. On the other side I see beautiful buildings glittering in the sun. They look like glass. This must be Alicante. 

Maryse told me about the Glass City. The Shadowhunter homeland. She also explained to me what I am; A Shadowhunter. I protect mundanes from Demons and sometimes Downworlders. These runes that we apply to our skin give us special abilities that only Shadowhunters can have. Mom told me who I am; Clary Adele Fairchild. My first name is actually Clarissa, but I like being called Clary. I was told many other things as well. I was overloaded with this information, to think just two days ago now.

 Maryse steps through the portal first. Izzy goes next, then Simon. I stand there, mesmerized by the breath-taking sight.

 "You coming?" Jace asks with a laugh breaking me out of my trance.

 "Yeah," I nod.

 I step through the portal, closing my eyes, afraid of what might happen if I open them when I pass through. 

 Blades of grass tickle my ankles and I hear numerous  sounds coming from birds. I slowly open my eyes to the scene around me. In front of me is a spacious open plain, but in distance I can see the shimmering buildings of Alicante.

 I turn behind me and I see a forest. So that's where I heard the birds. Stupid me. I also I see the portal. Jace walks through it, Mom behind him. After she steps through the portal closes, as if it was never there.

 "We have to get to Alicante," Maryse says.

 We start walking away from the forest and towards Alicante. It was quiet, too quiet it seems. I'm probably just getting worked up. Just jumpy at the moment is all, I think. Shivers run down my spine the whole entire way there. I see looming towers ahead of us. They aren't the regular buildings of Alicante, these are the demon towers that surround the city that use wards to protect it.

 We pass through the wards. I feel like I should've felt something from it, but I don't.

We continue walking, not stopping. I want to stop though and look at all the items in shops, or admire beautiful structures but I keep getting told to keep moving. We soon reach a looming building. This building has some sort of "cold feeling" to it. I'm not sure if that makes sense though. The building just seems off. 

 We enter the building. Entering the building seems like a blur. I don't even remember what the first or the next few rooms or spaces we entered look liked. I do remember the hallway before we entered the room room where I was meeting the Silent Brothers.
