One Hell of a Scream

Chapter Four: Simon's Gone

Jace and Clary got back to the institute and relayed what happened with you to Alec and Izzy. "I don't know what she is but she's not a werewolf." Jace concluded.

"Maybe she's immune to the bite. I mean she's not dead and she's not a werewolf. That's the only possible explanation." Izzy suggested.

"There's one problem with that theory and that is no one has heard of something like that happening. When you get bitten by a werewolf you either turn into one or you die." Alec pointed out.

You were at home under lock and key by your mom after your wander through the forest. She was getting overprotective again, something she hasn't been since your dad. Everyday your mom would ask you why and everyday you would tell you have no idea. You honestly had no explanation for it. Every possible outcome you had thought of made you seem crazy. The wander through the forest isn't the only thing that's been happening to you, you keep hearing whispers and you keep seeing a wolf and hallucinating this man. Someone you've never seen before. You were lying on your bed trying to get to sleep. You kept tossing and turning until you shot up and whispered. "Simon." The moment you whispered his name you called Clary. "Clary, where is Simon?" You asked fast and in one breath.

"I don't know, why?" Clary replied concerned. She could hear that you were scared by the tone of your voice. "Y/N?"

"It's too late." You muttered before dropping your phone on your bed and screamed. It was so loud that it caused Clary to drop her phone and hold her ears. At the same time you screamed monitors in the institute beeped notifying that there was an intruder outside. The four Shadowhunters went to investigate when they saw Raphael outside of the institute holding Simon who was dead. They brought him down to the basement where no one will go to decide what their next move is.

Something inside of you led you to the basement of the institute. Luckily your mom was out so you didn't have to explain to where you were going or why. You couldn't explain the pull you were feeling, it's the same one you felt when you went wandering through the forest. When you got to the institute you walked down the stairs in the basement and saw a pale looking Simon on the table. Everyone looked up at you when you walked in. Jace looked at you puzzled wondering how you knew to come down to the basement. "Clary." You breathed. She looked up at you tears falling freely down her face. Your heart broke seeing her like this. The feeling she felt was all to familiar with you. Clary ran to you and hugged you, crying into your shoulder.

"He's gone, Y/N. Simon's gone." She was in hysterics.

"I know. I know." You tried to soothe her to calm her down.

"What do I do?" She asked looking up at you. You raised your eyebrow wondering what she was talking about. "I could save Simon but that means turning him into a vampire. What do I do Y/N?"

"I can't answer that for you." You gave Clary a sad smile and sat down on some boxes while Clary went over to Jace to talk to him.

"Something strange happened before we found Simon outside... dead." Clary whispered so you wouldn't hear, hesitating before saying the word dead. Jace gave a her look to carry on. "She called before we found him asking where he was. Then she said something like it was too late and she screamed. That's when we found Raphael outside with him."

"And then she turns up here without even knowing we were down in the basement." Jace added looking at you sitting on the boxes minding your own business playing on your phone. "Something is definitely happening with her."

"But what?" Clary asked now looking at you as well.

Everyone had left the basement to go and do something, you had no clue what it was they were doing, leaving you alone with Simon. Raphael had left to go back to the Hotel Dumort before the sun came up. You were wandering around the dusty basement trying not to focus on the fact that your dead friend was laying in the middle of the room. As you were looking around you began to hear someone whispering your name. You snapped your head into the direction it was coming from and walked towards it. There you saw a man, the same one you've been seeing at home, in a mirror that was on the floor leaning against the wall. The whispers grew louder as you got closer. He was drawing you in some how. Terror was what you were feeling. You don't know this man but the feeling you get when you see him is terror. You were about to reach out and touch the mirror before someone behind you placed their hand on your arm. "Y/N..."

You jumped at their touch and turned around to see who it was, relaxing slightly as you saw it was only Jace. Turning back to the mirror you saw that no one was there and you shut your eyes letting a single tear fall down your face before wiping it away. "I think I'm going crazy." You murmured, your gaze still intently on the mirror.
