Chapter Three

Clary's POV

'1969' I thought in shock. 'What had I done?'
"Clary. What did you do?" Isabelle screamed again.
"Izzy, you've said that already." A tired Jace said.
I gave him a grateful smile. Izzy was really getting on my nerves.
Just as Izzy was about to scream again, Alec interrupted.
"Look, it's not Clary's fault. Yes, she was the one who drew the portal, but I did notice that there was some strange wards around the demon cave. They must have disrupted the portal."
I stared at Alec in amazement. I thought that he hated me.
Henry coughed. "While you are figuring out you got here, are you in need of a place to stay?"
It was Izzy who answered. "We would love to take up your offer on one condition. You will not force me to wear one of those horrible dresses."
Tessa laughed. "You better not let Jessamine hear you say that!"

Just as I was about to ask who Jessamine was, the doors flung open and a girl with long blonde hair glided in.
"I heard someone saying something about dresses?" She enquired.
Then she looked at us. Especially Jace.
"What have we done to receive the pleasure of your presence?" She said, fluttering her eyelashes at Jace.
Charlotte hurried to to explain. "Jessie dear, these are Clary Fray, Jace Herondale, and Alec and Isabelle Lightwood." Charlotte said, pointing to each of us in turn.
Jessamine looked disgusted. "He's a Herondale! He is far to good looking."
I glared at her while shuffling closer to Jace. He wrapped his arms around me protectively.
"Jessie, what do you mean? Look at me! I am much more handsome than this idiot." Protested Will, glaring at Jace.

Tessa decided to break it up. "I think that it's been a long day for all of us and that we should all get some sleep."
Charlotte nodded. "Tessa's right. Sophie!" She called and a young girl ran into the room. "Sophie, could you please show our guests to their rooms."
"Of course, Charlotte." Said Sophie as she gestured for us to follow her.
"Wait," said Izzy, "I've had a brilliant idea. Didn't Magnus live in London for a bit? We could ask him for help."
"Izzy, I don't think that's such a great idea." Alec said uneasily.
"I think it's a great one." Jace said, ignoring Alec's glare.
Jem interrupted them. "Magnus? As in Magnus Bane?"
"Yes." I said.
A smile erupted on Jem's face. "Today's your lucky day because I know where he lives."
