TMI fanfiction: A Broken Past (sequel to A broken Furture)

Chapter 4

*Jace's POV*

We headed back to the institute and ordered an immediate meeting in the library. All the residents were there; Me, Alec, Izzy, Magnus, Simon, Scar, Eli Daystar, Morgan Angelthorn and Rachel White. All of them were our age, the head was doing some business in Idris. We all gathered around the table in the library and started talking about what went down at the club.

"So, we know one of the rogue shadowhunters is a girl. What else do we know about her?" asked Eli. He's in charge while the head is away.

"Her name is Serafina," I added and then all eyes were on me.

"How do you know that?" Asked Alec.

"I've met her before. When I visited the park the other day, and now in the back of the club. She's very skilled at fighting, she took down about 7 demons by herself."

"We've found one rogue shadowhunter, but there is still one more out there. They are both connected to each other. Jace, you're the only lead we have so if you meet that girl again find out as much as you can, OK?" 

"Got it, Eli."

"OK, everyone to bed."

I was about to walk out when I noticed Morgan looked a little tense. I waited for everyone to leave before I went up to her.

"Hey, Morgan. Are you OK?"

She seemed startled when I talked to her. Why?

"Y...yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" her Irish accent becoming very noticeable.

"You just a bit on edge, that's all."

"I'm fine Jace. Just a little tired is all."

I watched her blonde hair flow behind her as she left. Morgan is half Irish and half German, but you can hear her Irish side better. She has an older brother Kai who is working as in Idris with the head of the institute while her younger sister Jaime is at the academy. 

I have an odd feeling that she's not telling us something. But for now I'll let it go, I'm determined to find Serafina and whoever she's working with. We were sent here to do what we thought would be a relatively easy job. I guess we were wrong.

I checked the time, 10:37 pm. I've got some time to kill so I decided to have a look around the institute. I may have been here for a month or two, but I have really looked around. When I was going down on a corridor, I heard a piano playing. But it wasn't just any piece of music. It was the music I used to play for Clary.

I found where it was coming from and saw it was Scar who was playing. I peaked my head into the room to see her back to me at the piano. I carefully slipped into the room and leaned against a nearby wall. I watched as Scar's fingers glided across the keys effortlessly. Once she finished I tried to sneak back out the room. Keyword tried.

"I know you're there Jace."

"Hey, sorry I walked in on you. You're really good by the way."

"It's ok, and thanks. I haven't played in a while."

"Me either."

"You play?"

"Used to."

"What's stopping you?"

"Someone."

"Who?"

"Ex. Kinda."

"Kinda?"

"She was killed by her psychotic brother."

"Clary Fairchild?"

"Yeah. how'd you know."

"There is only one shadowhunter with a brother as mentally disturbed as hers. No offence."

"None taken."

"Well, I'm sorry for your loss. She sounded amazing from what I've heard."

"Thanks, and yeah she was amazing."

"Well, enough of the depressing stuff. Why don't you show me what you got?"

"Fine."

I sat next to Scar on the bench and started to play. I remember back tot he time in the music room with Clary and started playing the same song. I played and played and everything in the room disappeared, it felt like Clary was with me.

Once I finished I stopped my fingers and took a breath I didn't know I was holding. I turned around to face Scar who had a small smile playing on her lips. This was the first time I've seen her smile since I came to the institute. 

"That was really good Jace."

"Thanks."

She looked down and then back up at me, then we did something I didn't think we would.

We kissed.
