Can I go back in? (Part 1 Of The Family Series)

Increace of Bodies

Clary woke the next morning with a familiar grip around her waist along with the familiar sent of Jace. She could tell he was awake due to the irregular breathing pattern and she could feel it in her hair, indicating that the breath was going through his nose. She groaned slightly as she opened her eyes, welcoming the bright morning sun with a pinch of salt.
"How long have you been awake?" She questioned quietly. There was a small pause between her voice and Jace's causing a glimpse of worry to flood through her body. Jace could sense her body tense slightly and rushed out the following sentence,
"About half an hour, I didn't want to disturb you. Apparently this is the best sleep you have had in while."
Knowing this was true Clary stayed quiet and sank into his body, trying to block out the blinding light. Jace chuckled slightly at her poor attempt and place a pillow from beside him over her face gently.
"Better?" He asked sweetly.
"Mmm hmmm" she moaned quietly. Jace then let her adjust for a small while before forcing her to move.

Once they were both dressed and ready, they made their way to Alec's office where they found Alec and Izzy waiting for them. They stopped talking as soon as they entered and turned to face them.
"We were just wondering when you two would arrive." Izzy giggled to herself, her six inch heels clicking as she strutted toward Clary to hug her good morning. They all sat down and as they did Alec cought a burning piece of paper that flew toward his head. He looked at it quizzically before explaining it to his friends.
"Magnus found high traces of demon energy in all of the mundane bodies. Its no ordinary demon either. It also isn't the same energy that Jonathan emits either." Alec said with a sigh of annoyance. He knew that this was going to be exactly like Lilith all over again. But what was going to happen they were not yet sure.
"So it's a greater demon.", Clary replied consciously. "Or worse?"
"You can't really get much worse." Jace replied matter of factly. You could get much worse really, creator demons were typically angels that fell from heaven, banished for their wrongdoings. There was little that could be much worse really, apart from the Angel of course.
"So what's the plan?" Isabelle asked trying to contain her fear because emotions cloud judgment as she was taught when she was a small girl.
At that a shadowhunter that works in the institute barged in.
"Mr Lightwood, you might want to come and see this." The young male said as he pushed all of breath out, he had clearly been running around and didn't have chance to use and agility rune. Alec nodded and the four stood up and followed the young man out of the room. They were led to one of the screens where a load of numbers appeared on the screen.
As it appeared there had been five more murders around the area, a killed in the same way as the others.
Pictures of the victims came upon the screen. Massive slashes down each of the victims, the marks looked like they could have been from a werewolf but they weren't sure as Magnus had already found demon energy in the bodies.
"Bring them back to the institute for examination. There isn't much we can do at the moment but inform the clave of our findings and what preparations we need to take. The young man nodded and got straight to work before he was told to. Alec placed his right hand over his face and rubbed it slightly, sighing as he did so. As his hand dropped beside him his blue eyes met Clary's green ones. They held each others depressed gazed for a moment, exchanging only sympathy for each other, and then got back to the room around them.
"I'm going to inform the clave. Izzy, Jace go and help with the bodies. Clary, go and talk to Mia and see if she knows anything about Luke." He ordered. They all nodded at him and turned in their directions and got straight to work. Suddenly it felt like their problems with Jonathan didn't stop at all and they just keep getting worse, but Clary couldn't help but feel like this isn't the work of her brother.

The jade wolf was surprisingly quiet on this particular day, making it easier for Clary to find Mia within the complex. She waved as Mia saw her and they shared an embrace as they greeted eachother. Mia already knew why Clary was here but didn't want to bare Clary with the bad new she had so far.
"I'm sorry Clary, we haven't heard anything from him and don't know where he is. If he doesn't turn up soon again, then he will firefighters his spot as leader of the pack and it will fall upon me." She stated, her voice curling as if the thought of her becoming pack leader was one of the worst thing that could happen to her. Clary hugged her once more and thanked her for her help anyway, even thought she didn't help her at all.
Clary then made her way to Simon who was at Java Jones enjoying a latè on his own.
"I can't believe Luke would just disappear like this. I also can't believe he disappeared as mundanes are being murdered." Her voice began to shake as she tried to press on with what she wanted to say. It was like Simon could read her mind though, as if he knew exactly where she was taking the convosation. He placed his hand on the small of her back and let her soak his shirt with her salty tears.
"Its only natural to fear the worst at a time like this Clary." He tried to comfort her, his voice smooth and calm like a therapist sending someone into a trance.
"But it is not normal at all to believe that your own stepdad is killing inocent mundanes under the name of my own brother." She tried to keep this hush so no one would think that she was involved in some illegal activities. Clary carried in weeping about her dark thoughts about Luke, hoping that it was neither Jonathan or Luke that was killing these people, and her life could just go back to normal. Not knowing that what the truth was, was much worse than she could have ever imagined...
