Skye made a risky move, she decided to go see Jace in the City Of Bones and headed there as quickly as possible. She snuck in with ease, slowly walking inside and going down the steps. Oh how this place sent shivers down her spine, he looked around before she was stopped by Brother Enoch. "What is your business here, Angel?" He asked, the blonde didn't bother to question it...she simply ignored it.

"I need to see Jace Wayland." She said, as she hugged herself. The Silent Brother held the torch that gave them light before he lead her away to where Jace was being held. "Jace?" She asked slowly approaching the where he was locked up in, she could barely see him.

"You shouldn't have come here, take her away." Jace said, Skylar shook her head glancing at the Brother who remained emotionless and didn't bother to get involved in this...weird family drama.

"No. I'm not going anywhere Unless I know you're gonna be okay."

"Is Alec safe? Is he all right?" Jace asked as he moved closer and watched her carefully taking in the way she looked, stressed, unable to sleep it was noticeable in the way her eyes had darkened and how she slowly she blinked.

"He's fine. Jace, I feel terrible. I should be here as well." Skye said, she watched him move a bit closer and she inhaled deeply.

"I have to pay for my actions. You...Isabelle, your sister and mother need you....I can handle this." Jace said, Skylar placed her hand over his...and it stayed there for a few seconds. "Is there anyway, I can...make this better for you?"

"You can stay away from me." Jace replied, moving his hand away and taking a few steps back. "No matter what happens, never come near me again. I am Valentine's weapon. You think he's just gonna let me go? He knows that you...you're my weakness. If I ever get out of here, he'll come after you again."

"I'm not afraid of him, I-I'll be fine. I can handle myself." Skylar said quickly, Jace slowly shook his head as he let the Silent Brother take her away, she stared at him with her eyes slowly filling up with tears. She knew there was nothing she could say to make this not happen, it was going to happen whether she liked it or not. Oh she was exhausted of being taken of.

The second Skylar got there, she had a conversation with her mother that she didn't want to have about possibly leaving Idris with her...yeah that wasn't going to happen to then going with Alec, Isabelle, and Clary to investigate this dead body due to a demon. Alec and Clary left to go search for their demon while Skylar helped Isabelle with the demon. "Until Victor comes back from the trial, I'm running point on this one." Lydia said as she looked at the body that was brought in by the girls.

"Well I'm for one, glad that you're back in come control." Skylar said honestly and smiled faintly, Isabelle nodded slowly in agreement before she cleared her throat.

"Lydia, have you heard anything about Jace? I know you're worried, but I'm still waiting, just like you." Lydia said honestly, as she looked at her with a look in her eyes.

"Except I'm the one who put him there." Isabelle mumbled under her breath.

"If I didn't make that deal with Aldertree Jace would've been torn apart by wolves, and Alec would be dead." Skylar said, walking over and placing a hand on her parabatai's shoulder. "You did what you had to do."

"Wow, that guy's heart is obliterated. And I thought I was having a rough weekend." Raj said as he walked over, all the girls had frowned not pleased with him or what he had said.

"Show some respect for the dead." Lydia said, her emotionless face had returned once again and it wasn't budging.

"I'm just saying, I've been in his shoes before. Except my demon's name was Kathy."

"You know, you might want to cut back on the smartass after getting manhandled by a warlock. Let me know if you find anything." With that Lydia turned around and began to start walking away.

"Wow, who died and made her queen?"

"You keep shooting your mouth off, you're gonna end up like that corpse." Isabelle snapped, by the angel all of these shadowhunters that were shoved up of Aldertree's ass were starting to give Skylar a headache.

A lose demon within the Institute was no good, it was awful and bad. Everyone was in danger about all of this occurring. Skylar and Isabelle were together, looking around and seeing where the demon could have possibly went through. The two had one hell of a talk here, thankfully Isabelle was not interested in having her parabatai leave her. The two girls had a laugh even though it wasn't the best time to be enjoying themselves. "I'm glad, you won't leave me." Isabelle said with a smile.

"You're my person, I can never leave you. Plus you need me, I keep you sane." Skylar said, Isabelle nodded slowly as she looked around taking in everything. "Though Idris...is great."

"Yeah, but it won't be so great when you leave everyone behind."

"And you have a point, another reason for me not to go!" Skye said, after searching and searching there was nothing. Eventually the two girls had gone their own way, the blonde going to speak with her mother and Clary.

"We're not going." Skye said, she could tell by the way Clary looked currently and she decided to do this. She slowly walked over to her mother and ran a hand through her long blonde hair. "I am so sorry, but with everything going on we can't just leave."

"I understand, I had a feeling this wasn't going to work out..." Jocelyn said before she opened her arms wide, the two girls exchanged looks before they walked over and allowed their mother to hug them tightly. "No matter what, I love you girls..."

Skye was walking around, she had stumbled upon Alec who sat on the floor, with blood on his hand and looked utterly confused. She slowly walked over to him, bending down and staring him in the eye. "Are you okay? W-" She paused, she saw blood stains on the floor that caused her to stand up as quickly as possible. She followed it, into the room and what she said caused her to stop breathing. "Alec, what did you do?" She whispered under her breath, she stared at the body of her mother. She stumbled back and out of the room, pushing past Alec and quickly left. There was no way she could stay there, and see her mother's body. It wasn't right, it was..another thing she was going to have to hold it all in.

Kill that demon, that was the main goal Skylar had right now. She needed to get rid of this thing, sadly it was in the body of her parabatai. Alec looked over at her, he was being ignored by Clary and Skye, but right now he needed her to listen to him. "Be careful, she's still Izzy."

"Oh trust me, I know." Skye said before she began to dodge the attacks 'Isabelle' was throwing here, Alec managed to restrain her long enough for Skye to get a dagger into her shoulder and backed away watching this demon appear. Her dagger turned into a word, when Skye whispered 'Seraphina' under her breath, the gem in her necklace turned black right before she killed the demon. "That was for my mother.." She said, dropped her sword.

Letting the sound of it hitting the ground echo through the room, Alec attended to Isabelle who didn't have any idea of what happened. Skye moved back, sitting down and covering her face with her hands. "Oh god, oh god...oh Seraphina...this is a lot. I can't....all because my father was back..." Skye whispered, the soft pulses coming from her necklace was meant to calm her down and it worked but for a while. She didn't know that Jace was here, or Aldertree...and at the moment she didn't care.
