Nephilim Love

Chapter 2

Clary

"Hello, I am Clary Fray. I have been accepted here as a student.  I was unable to attend because of personal business, but I am registering for this coming semester. I also will need a dorm assignment since I no longer live with my parents."

"Yes, miss Fray, we have been expecting you. Someone requested your dorm and you are already registered for your classes. Here is a copy of your schedule and you are in Pleasant Hall, room 25. Here is the key to the room and your mailbox. The bookstore has a voucher for you that covers your books for the semester and any school supplies you may need. Welcome to the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts."

"Who did this for me? Do you know?"

"Apparently you have an anonymous sponsor. You are a lucky young lady."

"Yes, I guess I am."

I went to the dorm to take a look at the room. As I was walking lost in thought, I bumped into someone. When I looked up, I realized that it was Holly from high school. I have not seen her in two years.

"Clary, is it really you? I have not seen you, in what, almost two years?"

"Yes, that sounds about right? Are you attending here too? I just registered for classes and was going to take a look at my room."

"What room are you in? I am in room twenty."

" I am in room twenty-five so we are close to each other. Do you have a roommate, because I do not?"

"Yes, I do. In a matter of fact, it is Shirley from our English class."

"Wow, I did not know that she was into art, but then again that is the only class we were in together. Listen, I really have to go. There is some packing I have to do so that I can move in. Can we finish this conversation tomorrow? I promise that I will see you."

"Of course. You go do what you need to do and I will see you tomorrow. I will help you unpack if you can use my help."

"That will be great. I will see you then."

I got my assigned dorm room and schedule but I do not know who arranged everything for me. When I went to see my room, I ran into Holly. It was nice seeing her again after so long. She told me that Shirley from our English class is also here. It is nice having some friends here. I feel so alone but maybe now I will have some friends.  Now, I am packing my things for my move. Food did not look appetizing right now with this morning sickness that sometimes runs during dinner time. I was exhausted from packing so a shower was in order and then bedtime. I sat on the bed and started to think of what I was going to do about my situation. Raising a baby at a young age was hard and it hurts not knowing the father just makes it harder. I laid down in bed and drifted off to sleep to start dreaming about a man that I cannot make out his features. He is taller than me because while I was hugging him I only reached up to his chest, and I could see clearly his smile, like that of an angel. I moaned in my sleep when he walked away from me and I could not find him. It felt as if he was abandoning me.  I sat up quickly not sure if it was a dream or real. All of a sudden, I felt like someone ran their fingers along my jaw to my cheek. I reached up to where I felt the touch, but of course, there was nothing or anyone there. Was this my imagination or this was still part of my dream. Who is this man that I just dreamed about? Is he my child's father? Was he important to me so that is why I felt like he was abandoning me?

I spent the day watching Clary pack for her move to the dorm. She looks so sad and exhausted. She needs me so much so I need to take care of my things fast for me to be with her. She woke up from her sleep startled as if she was looking for someone. I could not help myself so I ran my fingers up her jaw towards her cheek. She reacted like she felt me doing it. Could she really feel me touching her? Does this mean she has not lost all her Shadowhunter abilities? I know it is wishful thinking but this will not be for long. The decision has been made, so I am going to go to Idris to put my request in for de-runing. I know my grandmother is not going to like it, but I am sure she will understand my position but if she does not, she is going to have to. My life as a Shadowhunter is worthless without my Clary in it. Clary will have me soon enough. I just have to figure out how to swipe her off her feet as mundane. Will she fall in love with me all over again? Will our bond go beyond her lost memories of me? Despite my plans, I know I have my work cut out for me. There will be two challenges for me, getting used to life as mundane and getting Clary to go out with me again. I went back to the Institute to talk to the others about protection rotation over Clary while I am in Idris.
