Idris Institute

Chapter 1

I have always lived and stayed in one place for my whole life. Also, I always thought I was normal. But a few years ago, I found out I was not. I am a shadow hunter and will attend the reopening of Shadow Hunter School. I am going with my parabatai.

"Clary, Simon, it's good you both are here." My mother said.

"Yes, Mom?" I asked her.

"I don't know how I feel about this. But it might be a saver for you with everything going on. If you two want to go, I will let you know. The Shadow Hunter School in Idris just reopened. They want all the underage shadow hunters to be welcomed." She told us. Luke was standing behind my mom.

"Simon, what do you think?" I asked him.

"I think we should do it. Where is the hard in there? We can learn more and make allies by it." He told me.

"Sure. When do we have to leave?" I asked her.

"In two days." She told us.

Jace's POV*

I was in the training room. I was working on my skills. Then I heard footsteps entering the room. I turned around to see my parabatai standing there. He looked at me and said,

"Mom wants to talk to us."

"Okay. Be right there." I said. I then put my weapons away. I headed to the library with Alec.

"Yes, Maryse?" I asked her.

"They are reopening the Academy in Idris. You guys are going to attend." She told us.

"Why? We are the best here. Why do we really need to go?" Izzy asked. But more like whined to me.

"Because you can always learn more. Also, because I want you to go." She told us.

"When do we leave?" Alec asked.

"In two days." She told us. We then left. I went to my room to start packing. I need to pack when I needed. Also, what I wanted.

Clary's POV*

The day has come. I was in my room. I was making sure I had everything before I left. I know my mom could send it to me. But that still takes too long. When I got done, I met up with my mom and Luke. We headed over to Magnus's place. He was making a portal for us.

"Oh, biscuit, please keep in touch with me. Remember, if anyone gives you shit on your last name, send them away, and I will make them regret it." Magnus told me.

"I'm going to miss you, Magnus. I will." I told him, giving him a hug. I then hugged Dot afterward. Simon and I went into the portal.

We got on the ground of the academy. It was a beautiful place. Everything was made of glass. This is why they call Idris the city of glass. I looked over to Simon and gave him a nervous smile. We then headed inside. People were around and about. We then got to the office to get the last of our paperwork.

"So, you will help me move in, right?" I asked.

"Of course. But we do my first?" He asked me.

"Come on." I said.

Our things were sent here earlier, so we didn't have much to carry. We got to Simon's room. There was another bed there. I wonder who his roommate is. Then a come into the room. I turned and smiled. Standing there was one of our friends.

"Luis." I said, hugging him.

"Clary, what are you doing here?" He asked us.

"I'm going to school here. Is the rest of the guys here?" I asked.

"Yeah. They like to keep teams together." He told me.

"Well, if you see them. Tell them to come and find me." I told him.

I helped Simon with his things and headed to my room. I walked into my room. It looked like a fashion, or whatever you want to say, just throw it up here. I turned to Simon. I was confused.

"Oh, sorry for the mess. You must be my roommate. My name is Isabella. But everyone calls me Izzy." She said, coming from the bathroom.

"Hi. Clary. This is my friend Simon." I told her.

"Nice to meet you. Let me go over my things. For a minute, I thought I had a room to myself." She told me as she moved her things.

"It's cool. Took me a little bit longer to help my friend Simon here move his things." I told her.

Simon then helped me move my things into the room. After a couple hours, Simon went back to his room. I stayed in my room. We were going to meet up again for dinner. I was hanging a few of my artwork up on my side of the room.

"So, you and your friend Simon are what? Just friends?" Izzy asked me.

"Yeah. He is my parabatai. Nothing more than a brother to me." I told her truthfully.

"Oh, okay. He is kind of cute in a nerdy way." She said.

"He is single. Just putting that out there." I told her.

I know Simon thought she was lovely. He just thinks he has no chance with a girl like her. We had everything organized and done in our room. You could tell two different people were living in this room.

"Iz, you ready." I heard a guy's voice from the door. I turned around from my desk and saw a handsome blonde guy. Right when I saw him. I wanted to get my sketchbook and sketch him. He was perfect-looking.

*Jace's POV*

I went to Izzy's room. We were going to get dinner together with Alec. I went to her room to see what was taking her so long. She was posted to be in my room a while ago. The door was open. I saw a red-headed girl back, turning to me. I then said,

"Iz, you ready?"

I thought maybe that was Izzy messing with her wigs. Then the girl turned around. Then stood a beautiful girl with fiery red hair. She took my breath away. She was just standing there. She then said,

"Izzy, someone here for you."

Then Izzy came out of the bathroom attached to the room. She looked like herself. That is what took her so long. She had to look outstanding. She then asked,

"How do I look?"

"Fabulous like always." I told her.

"Good. Oh, how rude of me. Jace, this is Clary. Clary, this is Jace." She said, intruding on each other.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Clary." I said.

"Same to you." She said.

"Clary, you coming. The guys are whining about being hungry." A guy that you could tell is a nerd.

"I am coming, Simon. Well, see you guys later." Clary said. She then left the room.

I watched her walk away. She walked away with that nerd she called Simon. That can't be her boyfriend. A girl that won't dare date a guy like him. How are they even friends? I then looked over to Izzy, who was staring at me.
