Remember Me - The Mortal Instruments - Clace Fanfiction

Chapter 6: Trapped

  Will what I was given work? Will I actually get my memories back? Can I get my memories back? I think I will, no I know I will get them back. Before anyone can encourage me to step through, I step through the portal and back home.  

 "Anything yet?" Jace asks me, once again for what feels like the one-hundredth time.

 "No still nothing," I tell him, getting annoyed.

It was about two days ago that we went to Idris and got something that could possibly help me possibly get my memories back. Everyone's been asking me, like Jace just now, if I've gotten any of my memories back. And yes, they have been just as persistent as Jace.

 "Hey guys," Simon says to us, as he steps into the kitchen, "we've got a problem."

 "What you mean "we've got a problem"?" Jace asks as he gets off of the stool beside me.

 "Maryse wants to see all of us in the library, she'll explain it then."

 We swiftly follow Simon out of the room and into the library. The only other people in the room are; Alec, Isabelle, and Maryse. I think my parents had to go run an errand or something. I don't know where they are.

  I look at Alec and Isabelle and their faces are plastered with worry. I don't think that any of us know what's going on. I can't see Maryse's face, her back is turned to us.

 "Please take a seat," she says.

 I go over to a seat and fall into it. We all look at Maryse who remains silent. She sighs and turns to face us. "There has been a demon attack in the northern end of Brooklyn. I need all of you.... except Clary, to figure out what is going on," Maryse explains.

 "Why can't I go with?" I ask, jumping up from my seat.

 "It's too dangerous for you to come. You could get your memories back anytime now, and that's going to affect you. What if this happens when you're fighting a demon and all of your energy is drained? You could die. We can't risk it," Maryse tells me in an angry tone.

 I clench my fists. I sit back down and let out a loud, angry, breath. Everyone is looking at me, but I don't care. One of the very few times that I don't care.

 "All of you should get ready and head out," Maryse says to the rest of them

 We all stand up and leave the library. Before anyone could say anything to me, I storm to my room and slam the door behind me. I'm acting childish, aren't I? Well that's too bad. Too bad, so sad. I go over to my bed and sit down on it. I hear footsteps go to my door. They stop there for a few seconds, but continue on. Well then...

I wait about five more minutes and footsteps pass again, but going in the way they came earlier. They don't stop at my door. Who ever it is is ready to head out. I stand up and change my clothes. I'm going to follow them. Bad idea? Probably.

 I quickly change into my Shadowhunter gear and apply a silence rune to my forearm. I sneak out of my room. I head downstairs to the elevator. The Institute is silent, they already left. How long ago, I don't know. But I have to quicken my pace if I'm even going to be on their trail at this rate. I ride down the elevator to the entrance of the Institute. This place was once a church. But it was rebuilt and hidden as what it is now; the New York Institute.

 I leave the Institute and try my best to find the others. Eventually (after hailing a cab) I find them. I tell the cab to drop me off. I get out of I walk behind them. I put on the rune that hides me from mundanes, but it doesn't work all too well on other Shadowhunters. Whenever they turn a corner I hide in an alleyway. I follow them for about ten minutes.
