Chapter 12

Clary POV

I was released from the hospital a few days later after they took various tests. I didn't know where I could go. I didn't want to see Jace and some part of me didn't want to see Simon either. He came to visit me in the hospital but only with Izzy.

I didn't have to wonder much longer because a police officer caught up to me as I was walking out of the hospital.

"Clary Fray? Hello, I'm Will Herondale, the detective that found you and put your brother behind bars."

This was the man who was sitting with Tessa in the art room. Didn't Jace mention his mom's maiden name was Herondale? I didn't know he had any siblings.

"Umm Hi," I hesitantly replied, unsure of what he wanted.

He seemed unfazed by my lack of conversation. '"Anyways I'm here to help you find a place to live. "

Oh. I guess that made sense. I didn't answer; I just stood there waiting for him to suggest someplace dreadful and scary.

He took my silence as a cue to keep talking.

"Well it seems like you have some good friends Clary. Maryse and Robert Lightwood are foster parents as you might know. It seems Izzy convinced them to take you in. "

The Lightwoods? I didn't even think to ask Izzy: it seemed like it had been forever since our sleepover. So much had changed.

I had changed.

"Are you sure? Did they mean now? What if they changed their minds what if...?" I was filled with paranoia. What if they didn't like me?

"Clary I wouldn't worry. The Lightwoods are great people and I'm sure they have no problem taking you in. "It wasn't the Lightwoods I was worried about.

I guess I wasn't really in a spot to be picky. It was either the Lightwoods or the orphanage. I sure as hell wasn't going to be an orphan. I still had my mom, but she wasn't exactly fit to take care of me anymore.

"Can I go to my apartment I grab some stuff first? How soon do I need to be over there?"

"Sure I'll drive you over there. We can take our time. I know it's hard to get used to this. Jace went through the same thing you know. He'll be there to help you. "

Oh, he'll be there alright. But I don't want his help. Not yet.

After going to the apartment and packing my few belongings and the clothes Izzy had bought me, I found myself standing in front of the Lightwoods mansion. I could see a woman who looked shockingly like Izzy standing with a man who had his hand on her shoulder. They both looked like strict people and I felt intimidated.

What if they decided they didn't like me?

"CLARY!" I heard Izzy scream then saw her jet black hair bolt from behind her parents towards me. She captured me in a bear hug and I had to struggle for breath.

"Still....Not....Healed.....Can't...Breath." I managed to wheeze out. Man was she strong.

"OH! Sorry, Clary! I'm just so glad to see you! I was so worried about you! But now you get to live here and we can have a slumber party like every night! I can do your hair and makeup every morning! Won't it be fun?" I found myself nodding but my attention was elsewhere.

Maryse and Robert were walking towards me and right behind them were Jace and Alec. My eyes were drawn to Jace. His eyes were closed off and I knew he was waiting until we were alone to talk to me.
