Simon's POV
Well, it turned out we weren't the first to realise Sebastian wasn't who he said he was. When Raphael and I got in and told Jace he told us about the chat at the cafe. I started to freak out, Izzy was dating a serial killer and now he wanted to run away with her. He could be the new Jack the Ripper with his seductive British accent and then killing unsuspecting young girls. Disgusting. Alec had tried to talk to her but she said he was faking it all and he was just being a far too over-protective brother. Magnus had tried and she wouldn't even let him in. Clary had shown her the mugshot and Izzy screamed saying she couldn't believe how selfish and jealous she was for photoshopping it. She had been mind washed.
Maybe if we went around as a group she would take it in. Maybe if she knew she had attacked her best friend of seven years. It was a shot in the dark but maybe it would work. But we would do it tomorrow, she was safe for now.
We went to English the next morning. Izzy wasn't there. I decided to not think the worse and assumed she was ill. After class, we gathered everyone together and headed to Izzy and Clary's dorm. Clary hadn't been in class either so maybe they had caught something from each other. We knocked on the door and Clary appeared, grief-stricken and red-eyed. I looked past her and the dorm was a mess.
"What happened??" Alec screeched, barging past, "Where is Izzy? Where is my sister?!" He looked angrier than worried. We all knew she could handle herself but against a serial killer? Not as sure.
"She was here last night as you know. However when I woke up this morning to a note." She pulled out a crumpled piece of paper with scrawled writing on it.
Making a new life for myself, don't bother following me,
you'll try and ruin it.
Izzy xx
Alec ripped it into pieces and screamed. I stared at him and rolled my eyes. "Very helpful Alec. Well, we know she's gone with Sebastian. We also know he said he wanted to take her back to England with him. Or at least that's what he told her, so he will want her to keep thinking that as long as possible so she doesn't get suspicious. Being the clever man he is, Raphael traced all the ferries and flights heading to England. He won't take the plane though because he knows Izzy is scared of heights and will want to look like a considerate boyfriend. So the next ferry to leave is in an hour, however, it's an hour and a half drive from here." Everyone stared at me and I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Honey, when you're as fabulous as me, time is no problem." Magnus grinned mischievously and lead us out of the dorm and into the street.
