Wicked Sins

Chapter 8

Clary
I woke up with a jolt .. I remember hearing "Clary be safe , you'll get to know everything in good time ." I was already so shooked by all that's happening and that just added to my curiosity... I looked around at my surroundings and saw that I was in a blank room with less furniture ... As I was getting outta my bed , a tall girl walked into my room .
She was tall and had a pretty frame .. her eyes were an icy blue and her hair was a deep brown like Leo 's .. her hands were covered with symbols and that made her look more attractive... She then said ' I'm Lexi ... Leo ' s sister .... There r some spare clothes in the restroom .. change quickly and meet me outside your room . Hodge wants to meet u ..." And with that , she left the room .... I thought she was pretty commanding and a bit bossy .... I then decided to change ....

As Lexi guided me to Hodge (I don't even know who's he ) , suddenly Leo's face popped up in my mind... Yeah he was annoying .... But there was something to him that told me that he had been through a lot ... His deep brown hair , his deep blue eyes , his perfectly proportioned face .... It always kept coming back to my mind ..... I couldn't stop thinking about him at all ..... Why had I heard his voice in my dream ?
"Ouchhhh"
Shoot ... I bumped into a painting ... Lexi was glaring at me. .. but I noticed a small smirk at the corner of her lip ...
We then entered a huge room and Lexi called out "Hodge , u there ????" And then I noticed blood stains on the floor ... I shrieked ... Lexi came to me and noticed those stains ... She bent down and smelt it ... "No no no this is not possible ..they can't come ... Valentino cant come back .."

I was confused .... I asked her who was Valentino and she shot me a grave look .. I was baffled .... Suddenly there was a sudden movement from behind a dusty bookshelf and out came a short man who was covered with scars ... He had the same mark as Lexi and Leo and like the one which was slowly forming on my arm .. The man had thick dishevelled hair... The moment he came , Lexi ran towards him and gave him a hug ... He then examined me .. I cleared my throat and was about to introduce myself when he said , " I know who you are .. but I'll explain everything later ... Leo is in big trouble "... Lexi 's mouth was hung open ... "He has been taken away by Valentino's men .. yeah Valentino is back .. All the firehunters are alerted of this and that includes your families ." My family ???? "Yeah Clary your family too ... Lexi will explain everything to u as soon as possible ... Tomorrow we will go to the Fire house and plan a rescue mission .."

I was really confused with all the news that I had just received ... Lexi looked really shaken up and I missed Leo ... Yeah maybe I was developing feelings for him .. no I wasn't.. I couldn't... I told myself this is not real... None of it is... I'll wake up later and realize it was all a dream ...

Hodge then said , " Clary maybe you might wanna meet your family .... Yeah they're all here .. you'll know everything..."

",No I shouldn't be here .. I should be at home right now ... I don't belong here ..."

"Girlie.. u better understand this .... You'll know everything in record time ... Right now one of our most skilled warriors is missing and Valentino is back ..... And finding him is our main concern...."

With those words , he settled down in his big armchair and Lexi steered me out of the room ...

Her face looked paler than before when she asked me what's my surname

"Santini"

"Do you wanna meet your family ?"

"Umm okay "

She gulped and replied " ill take u there but brace yourself ."

She then took me along a hallway ... As we moved , I decided to ask her what is a fire hunter ?
As she stiffled a laugh , she replied "we r the Daemon hunters ... We kill those who mess with our world and the mundanes... We are one of the main reasons why mundanes are only affected with earthquakes and volcanoes .... We take up all the main trouble ..."
