Torn - A Shadowhunter story

Chapter 2

"So this is your room" said Isabelle opening the door and gliding in with me following behind. I dumped my bags on the bed and sat down with Isabelle.

"I'm sorry, I didn't get to introduce myself properly, I'm Isabelle, as you know, but most people call me Izzy or Iz." "What was it like, living in London?"

"Well, it rained a lot, and we never had proper snow." I saw Izzy raise her eyebrows in shock at that and I internally giggled but I kept going, "We usually had a heatwave or two in summer but overall, yeah, it was pretty awesome. Well.......... until my mum died. "I said trying to prevent tears from spilling over.

"Omg your mum died, oh you poor thing," said Izzy enveloping me into a hug, "Mom said that your circumstances were difficult, but she didn't say anything about well.... You know" said Izzy.

I sniffed and wiped my eyes, "she might just not have known. Anyway I'm alright, crying won't solve anything anyway." I said trying to change the subject and Izzy took the hint.

"So shall I help you unpack and then shall we train" she said

"Yeah sure" I said and smiled

"I think that we're going to be really good friends" said Izzy

"Me too Izzy" I said, and started piling the clothes in my suitcase onto the bed.

(45 mins later)

"Izzy we've barely put anything into the wardrobe at all. All you've been doing, is making me put on clothes and you trying my clothes on too; not to mention the shoes."

"But you have such cool clothes," she said and exclaimed. "What!" I said worried.

"Look at these heels!" she squealed, "You have really good taste. Put them on" she ordered. I sighed "Fine, but this is the last thing either of us are going to try on." Izzy rolled her eyes.

(10 mins later)

"Done" I said grabbing some black leather training pants and a black crop top.

"Get changed and meet outside my room" said Izzy getting up and leaving the room.

I wriggled out of my jeans and into my training gear and coiled my bladed snake whip around my head over my golden brown hair, a bit like a wreath, put on some bold lipstick and headed towards Izzy's room. While I was waiting for Izzy (who took ages to get changed) I heard light footsteps and turned to see Alec and my heart fluttered. OMG look at his adorable messy hair, his 10 pack, his gorgeous blue eyes his lips wait, what,

Alec looked up, "hey" he said and smiled and my heart fluttered (yet again) .omg his smile. Ok I definitely need to stop now.

"Hey," I replied. And smiled. He looked at me. "Are you gonna go train?"

"Yeah, I'm just waiting for Izzy,"

"Oh, ok well, I'll be in the training room," and just as he said that Izzy made her grand entrance.

"Oh, hey Alec. We're going training. Come on layla" and with that she sauntered down the corridor and I followed, and caught up with her.

"So, what shall we start training with" I asked when we go to the training room.

"Do you do sword fighting?" said Izzy grabbing a blade from the rack on the wall.

"Try me," I said unsheathing my sword shadowkiss.

(1 hour later)

"Alright I give!" yelled Izzy. She was lying flat on the floor, layla had just smoothly judo flipped her onto the ground, and Alec, Ayden and Jace, who had just walked in, were sniggering in a corner.

Layla held out her hand and pulled Izzy up.

"Jesus girl, Is there anything you can't do?" she sighed

"I'm crap at archery, but yeah, I'm pretty skilled in all areas of combat," said layla blushing.

"Shall we all do some flips then," said Jace, no one objected except Izzy,

"You're only saying that because you know you're amazing at flips." She grumbled.

"Lighten up Izzy," said Jace "We're doing flips," he said firmly, getting out the support harnesses.

(45 minutes later,)

"I can't do it," moaned layla

"Come on lays, even Izzy can do it," said Ayden, "No offence Izzy,"

"No offence taken," she said batting her big blue eyes and fluttering her eyelashes.

Layla rolled her eyes, "I can't," she mumbled,

"Just try one more time," said Alec, she caught his eye.

"Fine, one last time, then I'm going to have a shower," she said, getting up onto the wooden beam 3 meters off the ground and closed her eyes, and jumped, tucking herself into a ball and waiting for the impact and to fall flat on her face. But it didn't come. She opened her eyes and realised that she was on her feet. She did it. Finally.

"At last," said Jace,

"Nice one sis," said Ayden hi—fiving her

"Yass," said Izzy

Alec nodded and Maryse came strutting in.

"Go upstairs and have a shower immediately, we have some special guests staying with us for a while and need to look our best," Maryse announced, "Put on your best clothes and Alec, that doesn't mean a denim shirt and jeans and Izzy, that does not mean a sparkly bikini top and tiny sparkly shorts." She said turning on her heel and glided out the room.

"Whatever," muttered Izzy darkly,

"You coming Iz," said layla,

"Yeah, oh and can I borrow those heels that I tried on earlier," she said grabbing layla by the arm and leading her out the room.

"Whatever Iz, come into my room once you're changed," she sighed. "Oh and Izzy, what do I wear?"

Izzy squealed, "Ok, get out your best clothes and I'll come and sort you out, this is gonna be sooo much fun!"

Hey guys,

Firstly, thank you for reading,

Secondly, I'm so sorry I haven't updated in like 3 months,

Thirdly, I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense and if it is really crap, because I literally just wrote some rubbish down like 10 minutes before I posted,

 And fourthly I'm really sorry if there I are loads of spelling mistakes because I couldn't be bothered to spell check it.

Lots of love LF xoxoxox
