Sudden Changes

2- The Guest Arrival

Izzy's P.O.V

I can't believe what just happened. All of a sudden a portal appears and a girl falls through.

I wet the cloth in warm water and gently touch her face. I start removing the blood from her face and she twitches but then does nothing. I draw an iratze rune on her leg, arms, and neck to heal. Once I finished cleaning her blood, I was gonna change her when she moves.

I walk up to her and she's sweating and panting. I shake her and she sits up.

Clary's P.O.V

No, no, no. This can't be happening. I keep seeing my brother and David and..I feel someone shaking me. I quickly open my eyes and sit up panting. I quickly start blinking, trying to adjust my eyes. It was morning. I look around and see angelic runes around the top of the walls.

I kept looking around till I saw a tall, skinny girl. "Who are you?" I asked at how sore and dry my voice sounded. "I...um....my name is Isabelle, but call me Izzy. Do you want some water?" asked Izzy and I nod. She walks away and comes back with a glass of water. Two guys followed behind her.

One of then had sea blue eyes and slim hair, must be the girls brother. Then came the guy who I saw before I passed out. He had really golden hair, was well built, and had eyes that matched his hair. I sit up and drink Izzy's water. It felt good.

"Now that we let you sleep and you're healed, wanna tell us who you are?" asked blue eyes. "Before I say anything, I want to know who you are and where I am?" I said. "Well then, welcome to the New York institute. My name is Jace Herondale, this is my adoptive sister Izzy and brother Alec." I nod at them.

"So what do you guys wanna know?" I asked trying to get up. "Where are you from and what's your name?" asked Alec. Never reveal your powers to anyone. It's too dangerous. I remember mom's words in my head. "um...a friend of mine created a portal for me from the Los Angeles institute....As for my name, I'm Clarissa Fray, but call me Clary." I said not being able to use Luke's or my mother's name, much less Valentine's.

"Ok then, Clary. Let's get you settled in and then meet us in the training room. Izzy will help you out." says Alec. I follow Izzy down a few halls and reach bedroom doors. I opened a room that was empty and it looked bigger than the Los Angeles institute. I felt like crying because of the memories that are now gone.

"Here's some clothes to train in and another pair of regular clothes. It's not everyday we get visitors, much less girls." says Izzy and I chuckle. I took a quick shower and changed into the clothes Izzy gave me.

I came out the room in a sports bra and sweats with my hair in a bun. Izzy stood up and led me up some stairs into a room. There were weapons everywhere, balance beams, sparring mats, and target dummies. I guess I can train here.

Jace's P.O.V

I followed alec into the training room and Izzy was already there. I looked around to see where the red head was. I saw her up on the beams. I chuckle waiting to see her fragile body fall, but it never happens. I see a graceful twirl and back flip towards the end of the beam. Then she flips off and lands without any shaking movements. She sees me looking at her and smiles.

"So anyone wanna spar?" I asked entering the mat. "Sorry I can't. Alec is already practicing with me." says Izzy. Then Clary walks up to me, "I'll spar." I chuckle, "You sure about that." She smirks,"Positive" I go to my side and smirk, "I don't want to hurt you, I'll go easy." She rolls her eyes,"You don't have to." Then I lunged at her, she double stepped to the right and I fell.

I got up and tripped her but she fell on her elbows, a skill only few learn. She flips up and throws a dagger at me, I catch it. Clary smirks. I flip it in my hand and gracefully moved my arm at her. She dodges but I caught her arm. She lowered her foot and dropped me face forward.

She straddles me between her legs. "I told you I'm good at sparring." I smirk,"You only needed an excuse to get my attention." She rolls her eyes. "I guess being number one, pays off." smirks Clary and raises her arm. I close my eyes, but feel a fast wind. I open my eyes and see my sleeve with a blade in it. Clary was walking away. I sigh, number one.
