Idris Institute

Chapter 47

I know Simon wants to help fix this between me and Jace. I do miss him. But I don't know if I can be with someone that can't trust me. I know he doesn't like the idea of it all. But he can hate the idea and still trust me. But I saw the not trust in his eyes. I just can't even if it hurts me.

"Hey Clary." I heard beside me. I looked over to see Sebastian standing there.

I was hanging outside to clear my mind. Also, I wanted to get some sketching in. So, I decided to outside under these trees on the grounds.

"Hey Sebastian. What's going on?" I asked him.

"Just enjoying the nice weather, we are having. What's going on with you?" He asked me.

"Same here. Thought sketch a little bit outside." I told him.

"Can I join you?" He asked me.

"Be my guest." I said.

He then sat down next to me. I went back to what I was working on. Sebastian just sat there watching me.

"What?" I asked.

He has been watching me for a while now. Something is up. I just have a feeling. I just don't know what.

"What?" He asked back at me.

"You have been watching me since you sat down. Is there something on me or my face?" I asked him.

"No. You are fine." He answered me.

"Then what is it Sebastian? It seems like you want to ask me something." I said to him.

"Well, I didn't know if it would be a touchy subject. But I heard you and Jace are over. I was wondering, how are you? What happened?" He said.

But I know that wasn't the only thing he was wondering. I'm happy he didn't ask me that question. I really don't know what I would say to it.

"I am alright. There was no trust there. I can't be with someone that doesn't trust me." I told him.

"I understand. Trust is everything in any relationship." He told me.

"Yeah. It is. I just wish he could trust me and just believe everything was going to be alright." I told him.

"What do you mean by that?" He asked me.

But before I could answer him we were interrupted by Helen coming over to us. She looked worried. She said,

"Hey Clary. Have you seen Alec? I need to talk to him."

"No. I haven't seen him all day. Have you checked his room? Hey Helen, are you okay?" I asked her.

"No. I just need to give an important message to Alec. He needs it now." She told me.

"Here I will help you find him. See you around Sebastian." I said going off with Helen.

When we found Alec. He was with Simon and Jace. It looks like they were having important convention. But stopped right when Helen and I came over.

"Hey guys what's up?" Simon said.

"Alec, I was post to give this to you." She said gave a piece of paper to Alec.

"What is it?" Jace asked.

"The New York Institution is being taken away from our parents and there is going to be a new head. Our parents don't want us to worry about it. But didn't want us to hear it from someone else." Alec told us.

"Why are they doing that?" I asked. Yes, I am never a big fan of the Institution, but the Lightwoods do a great job running it.

"Because the Clave feels like our parents are not fit for the job anymore and is changing power." He said.

This isn't anything good for anyone. Everything is going to change. I feel like not in a good away.

"I will go find Izzy and tell her. She needs to know before she hears it from someone else." I told them.

"Good idea. Clary, this might not be in your favor at all. But we will stand behind you. Now, you defiantly keep that hidden." Alec told me.

I gave him a nod in understanding. Looks like Alec finally came around. I am happy that he is going to be there for me. Trust me I am going to be there for them.

I then headed to my room. Maybe Izzy will be in there. I think she said something about catching up on some homework she was behind on. When I got to my room the door was a crack on. So, she must be in there.

When I entered the room, I saw it a mess. Everything was everywhere. The place was a mess. Then a black figure came out of the bathroom. He looked at me. There was one away out of here. I was blocking it.

I went right into a fighting stand. I was ready to figure out who is this person. They came right at me. I fought right back. But they were stronger than me. Then the black figure picked me and throw me aside. But not hard enough that it would hurt me. It seems like he didn't want to hurt me.

Then he was gone. I got up from the spot I landed and went to chase after him. But he was nowhere to be found. I then headed back to my room. But I was not the only one there now.

Jace, Alec, Simon, and Izzy were standing there. Jace came right over to me and pulled me into a hug. I let him. He then looked at me asked,

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Just a couple of bruise. Nothing bad." I told him.

"What happened here?" Alec asked.

"The door was a crack open when I came here looking for you Izzy. I thought it was you. There was a black figure searching our room. I think he was the one who took my journal." I told him.

"What was he looking for?" Simon asked.

"More like did he find it?" Izzy said.

"I know what he was looking for." I said.

I then went to one of my sketch books I haven't touched in forever. I opened it to see that if it was still there. Still there was the cup.

"He was after a picture of the cup?" Alec asked confused.

"No. He was after the cup. He didn't get it." I said. I am running my fingers over the paper.

"But it's just a picture." Izzy said confused.

I then looked at them and asked,

"Simon closed the door?"

He did what I said. I then put my hand over the page. It went right into the page. I then pulled out the cup from it. Everyone was surprised at what just happened. I then put it right back into the page.
