"Yeah, we've heard, blondie." Natalie said with venom lacing her voice.

"You're not serious." Jace said as he turned to his best friend and gave Angel a quick worried glance.

"You were supposed to tell them no." Izzy stated,"It's your life to ruin." she snapped before walking away.

"I'm not sure what to say." Jace stated with no emotion.

"How about none of this matters? We have to stop Valentine." Alec announced.

"Finally, something we agree on." Jace said before following Izzy as Angel gave Natalie a worried glance then went after Jace.

Natalie turned and hesitated before walking away then turned back at Alec,"Congrats, Alec. I hope you two will be very happy together and have wonderful kids and run this whole institute together. Enjoy letting the clave 'give you orders' and boss you around for the rest of your lives, after all you've been training for that already so it shouldn't be that hard. If you're fine throwing your life away, Alec, to someone you've barely known for twenty-four hours, be my guest. I am done trying to help you." Natalie spat at the raven haired boy before he could say anything else to the girl, she turned around, tears threatening to spill making Alec's face soften.

Alec's heart broke at what Natalie had said. He watched after her as she walked out of the training room, it hurt him, a lot. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

"This is insane, we have to put a stop to this." Izzy declared as she walked over to monitor that showed Meliorn's interrogation.

"Oh well, enjoy portal-ling back to Idris with mom and dad." Alec said sarcastically making Natalie roll her eyes at the boy.

"Meliorn is here because of me." Izzy stated as she glared at her brother.

"Alec's right there's nothing we can do to stop this interrogation." Jace spoke up.

"You're on Alec's side now?" Izzy questioned in disbelief.

"We swore to protect each other, of course he's on my side." Alec replied bluntly.

"I'm not picking sides, Jace Wayland is Switzerland, we have got to find Valentine. Lets let this play out Izzy, Meliorn might have some important information." Jace reasoned before he averted his gaze from Alec to Natalie,"Where's uh- where's Angel?"

"Taking a shower." Natalie responded before Jace nodded as the four of them paid attention at the screen.

Yesterday after Alec announced that him and Lydia are getting married and after the four walking away, Natalie and Angel returned to their rooms as Angel explained so many stuff to her. Apparently her and Jace made out in the brown hallways after Jace explaining to her that the kiss him and Clary had meant nothing, because he loved Angel more, so he confessed and she confessed then then they kissed and had an intense talk and so Clary understood the situation Jace was having and so she's okay with Angel being with Jace and she also said that she didn't have time for a relationship so yeah, she's fine with it.

Natalie watched carefully as Lydia started to ask Meliorn about the blood and the forsaken, she rolled her eyes at the blonde and scoffed every now and then.
