Idris Institute

Chapter 60

He came closer to me and I wrapped my arms around him. He pulled me closer. I led up to him and kissed him. He kissed me back. We then pulled away to meet everyone to go over the plan now we have more help.

Everyone was in position. I was sitting in the same booth as last time. We were just waiting now. I hate waiting. To keep my mind not going insane I pulled out one of my sketch books. I just leaned back into the booth and draw.

Time has passed. The guy hasn't come back yet. Is he even going to come back? Or was he scared away? I looked around the place to see if I can spot anyone out of place but of course not.

"Maybe he isn't coming." Izzy whispered.

We have our Communication rune. It lets us hear each other when we are quiet. The pack already have super hearing already, so they don't need the rune.

"Maybe we scared him away." Simon said.

"Don't worry Clary we will get your answers some away." Jace told me to reassure me.

I looked around to everyone. Maybe he knows I was not alone. That I was being watched from everywhere. So, he is hanging back. He knows this was a trap or some sort. Now I must see if it was right or not.

"Maybe we should just call it a day. Try again another day. He isn't coming." I said to everyone.

"I think that's a good idea. I will go back to the Institute to see if I can figure out what they have decided to do." Alec said.

Then we all went our own away. Jace came over to me. He sat down across of me. I looked at him. I know he wants to help. But the only away he could help me is to let me be alone. I really think this is the only away.

"So, do you want to get out of here?" He asked me.

"Truthfully?" I asked looking at him.

"Yes." He told me.

"I want to stay. But I need you to go. I will see you later at the Institute." I told him.

"Do I want to know why?" He asked concerned.

I didn't say anything right away. Should I tell him the truth? Or lye to him? I don't want him not to trust me. But I really need him to trust me and leave. So, I then said,

"The guy isn't going to come with you guys all here. I need to go so I can talk to him. So, please leave. I will see you later. Okay?"

"Fine. But if anything goes wrong you will contact me." He told me.

"I will. Any ways I won't be alone. Maia and Jordan are still here and probably won't leave until I do. So, I will be fine. I will let you know when I am on my away back." I told him.

"You guys better keep an eye on her. If anything happens to her I am going to hold you responsible for it." Jace told them.

He is so protective over me. It's so cute. But I don't need protected. This isn't the first time my father or brother tried to get me or the cup. It won't be the last either. But I still think it's cute he cares that much for me.

"Don't worry Jace. She will be safe with us. We have been doing it longer then you have. So, we know what we are doing." Maia told him.

"Hey, they got by back I know it. So, there is nothing to worry about. I will see you later." I told.

"Okay. Text me when you figure something." He told me.

"I will." I told him.

Before he left, he gave me a quick kiss on the lips. Then he was gone. I am happy he trust me that much. I looked over to Maia and Jordan.

"Do you think this is going to work?" Maia asked.

"I already have. I know where he is at. He has been here the whole time. He was just has been waiting." I told them.

"Where?" She asked looking around the place.

"Out back. I saw him head there when he realized that Izzy, Jace, Alec, and Simon was here." I told them.

"Do you want me join you?" Jordan asked me.

"Just stay nearby. But not so close where he thinks I can't trust him. He wants me to be alone. But I am not stupid. Tell the others." I said.

I then went out the back door. It led into ally. I lend up against the wall waiting for him to appear. I know he was still nearby. I then saw someone in the shadow. I said,

"Do you really have to hide in the shadow? I am alone like you want. Now you need to come out if we are going to trust each other." I told him.

"Are you sure? I saw you were not alone in there earlier." He asked looking around.

"I am sure. All that is werewolves that are giving us space. But any funny business they won't be so nice." I told him.

"They have nothing to worry about. I think you can handle yourself before I could even try anything." He told me.

"Let's just to the point. You never answer my question when we last talked. So, is it my brother who sent you?" I asked him.

I just wanted to get to the point. No more playing games. I want answers and I was going to get them. He smiled at me. So, I know that was the one who sent him.

"Yes. He wants to make sure his sister is well taken care of." He told me.

"He doesn't have to so that. But if he really wants me happy and everything him turning himself in. Bring dear old dad with him." I told him.

"That isn't going to happen. They have plans and you are part of them. He just want to make sure you are ready for them." He told me.

"What plans?" I asked.

"Don't worry all will be revealed. All in good time." He told me. "So, what can you tell me about your special gift?"

"What do you want to know? I thought he know everything." I said.

"You don't remember when it happened. But how does it all work?" He asked.

"That's right I don't. But the runes just come to me. I just see them when I need them. Also, tell them they should fear. I can make my own. I am not scared to use them against them." I told him.

"We do know that you have the cup. Where is it?" He asked.

"You are not wrong on that. But I will never tell you that. Nice try. There is no away I am giving that up." I told him.

He looked at me and smiled bigger. I didn't like that. I went for my seraph blade. But he was quick. How is he quicker than me? He grabbed me. I tried to get away. But he was stronger than me. I then saw it. It wasn't the guy I wasn't talking to last time. It was Johnathan.
