Chapter 2




At the Fray home

I was sitting on the couch realizing what just happened I had changed to darker clothes so my mom wouldn't notice the cut through my side. She was already worried about us no need to make a scene. I decided to look up at my mom and Clary. Clary was panicking and my mom was trying to ask her questions I focused on what she was saying.

"What did the markings look like on the guy?" She asked her eyes flitting between the two of us

"Mom it doesn't matter! Are you even listening? I might have killed someone and Amy killed a dozen of them!" She yelled eyes wild staring at our mother.

"Did they look like this" My mom asked taking out the thing she called a 'stele' and running over her arm. My breath hitched as a red faded mark appeared. While Clary freaked out I reached for my sketchbook wincing slightly at the pain in my side, flipping over to the drawing earlier.

"They had markings like those," I said showing my mom, now it was her turn to panic.

"When did you draw this?" She asked agitated her fingers running all over the drawing.

"This morning and when I drew that I couldn't stop at all" I stammered looking over and my sister

"Yeah Simon and I tried to call her name, Simon even waved his hand in front of her face but nothing stopped her" Clary explained my eyes were scanning my mother's face which was a mix of emotions shock, regret, and recognization.

"Everything you saw tonight has a meaning and an explanation and I've dreaded having this conversation with you since you were born," Mom said her eyes moving between the both of us

"What is going on?" I asked getting up wincing slightly as needles of pain shot through my side

"The protections are wearing of both of you since Clary turned is 18, Amys didn't wear off immediately which I was hoping would happen to you too Clary but no. Now you need to know the truth" My mother continued

"Mom you're scaring the hell out of me," The ginger said near tears, I was calmer but I wanted to know more. There was a sound of the floor creaking then Dot walked in her hair flowing behind her "Jocelyn look out the window, Magnus called to warn us. They found you"

Suddenly I wasn't the only one with questions "Who hell is 'they'?!" I yelled as My mom rushed to the window looking out she said

"Dot its time," she said completely ignoring my question, I frowned as she rushed to the two of us handing us both necklaces. Mine was a purple stone covered with two wings, I helped Clary wear hers which was just a plain purple stone with silver metal gripping it from above.


Amelias Necklace:

Clarys Necklace:







"Mom this isn't time for new presents" Clary exclaimed clipping on mine

"Okay listen to me, you can't be near me," She said

"What's happening?" Clary asked worriedly

"I got a very powerful person angry" The our mother explained

"Mom what did you do?" Clary asked staring as her mother

"I hid something from him and his followers" she clarified

"Mom why can't you just call the police,"

"Mom I can stay here and help," I said walking towards her she smiled softly cupping my face with her hands.

"I know what you're capable off but I need you safe so you can protect your sister"

"Mom why can't you just call the police," Clary exclaimed

"The policeman you need to call is Luke," She said giving her daughter a a pat on her shoulder I wanted to ask her how she knew the powerful guy how dangerous can she be.

The woman who knows Magnus handed a greenish bluish liquid to Joceyln

" Only if you need it," she said

"Mom what's that" I asked my eyes wide

"Dot open it'" Joceyln said looking at the warlock as I saw her hand filled with a blue fire , What the hell?! I looked behind me as a doorway opened filled with purple sparks.

"Take care of her" I stared into my mom's bright green eyes which were filled with trust and concern as the looked into my tearful blue-green ones

"Mom please" I whispered

"I love you both" Before pushing as in


At the police station

We landed in the police station I let out a stifled cry as my wounded side hit the floor. I lifted my shirt to see that the wound has stopped bleeding but now was surrounded by bluish-purple bruises. I let out a sigh at least it was healing I got up slowly filling dizzy and looked around to find Clary kneeling by the stairs staring down with new tears in her eyes.

I walked over, taking a glance at what she was looking at it was Luke talking to a pretty African lady in a bright orange dress a sitting next to her was a white man in a black suit I listened in to what they were saying.

"Turns out you and Joceyln were never that far apart, The circle has her now it's just a matter of time before we catch her daughters" Explained the white man, I oke a sharp intake of air at the mention of our mother.

"You can have them all if you give up the mortal cup" The African women offered sitting on the table, my frown deepened the more the talked but it was what look said next that was shocking

"I don't care about any of them. They mean nothing to me" He said leaning forward, I heard Clary gasp in shock. I frowned my eyes filling with tears at his harsh words.

"Kill them all if you like, my people want the cup. Why do you think I have been hanging around here for all these years. Now when I find the cup I'm going to keep it, and you can tell Valentine and the circle that" I leaned against the wall a tear slipping out, my mom said to trust luke and no one else. Little did she know that Luke doest care, I put my arm around Clary's shoulder as she sobbed silently. I had stopped listening to what they were talking about, I leaned over to whisper into Clary's ear.

"Let's go," I said and started to walk away Clary hot on my heels. I felt the room start to spin leaning over onto the wall and I started to shake my head.

"Hey Amy are you okay" I heard my sister voice laced with concern, I closed my eyes taking deep slow breaths of air. When I opened my eyes again Clary was looking at me her eyes wide but the room had stopped spinning.

"Yeah sorry," I said and we rushed out it was raining outside our hair and clothes were dripping wet in seconds, we rushed down the stairs heading back towards the house Clary was yelling out but I couldn't hear her over the sound of the rain. We went through the alley which was a shortcut to the apartment. I turned to see Clary catching up behind, I looked down at my shoe s to see that they were drenched with the rain there was water surrounding them but not just water there was a flowing red liquid mixed within. A liquid I knew too well it was blood.

"Mom" I whispered saying over like a mantra my voice rising in volume as I opened the door. A sudden ice-cold fear ran through my body at the mess that was made. Glass shattered every wear chairs on the floor broken cups scattered. I heard panting behind I whirled around to find that it was Clary her tears mixed with the rain as she looked around and the disaster. She yelled out "MOM" Her voice breaking and her knees giving out.

"Come on Clary will find her" I whispered my voice cracked slightly as a tear of my own slipped out, I brushed it away in frustration. I looked around to find any weapon I could use to protect my self and found an old antique Indian kindjal. I reached out to grab it only to feel fresh needles of pain dig into my side after I took the kindjal I lifted my shirt frowning down at the wound. It had started bleeding slowly again and more green bruises surrounded the blue and purple ones.

I bit down at my lip I'll have to go to the hospital I think I need stitches. I heard the floor creaking behind I whirled around again ignoring the new waves of pain only to see Clary grabbing an antique axe and started walking cautiously into the living room, I followed her firmly gripping the hilt of the kindjal.

I turned to face a sound then I was met with Dot. Clary slowly started to walk towards her I stayed behind cautious.

"Dot" Clary whispered dropping the axe

"They took Jocelyn," She said

"Who took her?" I asked, I didn't like the way that Dot was acting it didn't seem right.

"Rouge shadowhunters looking for the mortal cup" Faint alarm bells rung in my head, I didn't hear the rest of the conversation as I started to focus on Dots. She knows that Clary and I barely know anything and we were very confused when our mother was talking. So why would she ask as about anything

"You know more than you think Clary and Amelia Fray" The she hissed before tentacles burst through its face I ran up and kicked it in its stomach causing it to fall. It was the same creature that I fought at the club.

"Run Clary! Run!" I yelled remembering the promise to my mother, and I have a better chance at fighting than he. But Clary was frozen staring at the creature as it slowly turned into a demon it lunged at Clary, I slid onto the floor kicking its legs from under it when it fell I bought down my kindjal stabbing its neck.

My wound was burning now but I ignored it, I heard hissing coming from the door. I grabbed the axe that clary dropped running on top of the table lifting myself in the air and swinging my axe as I jumped off of it impaling the monster's chest. It yowled but it didn't burst into dust, my eyes widened as it reached for the axe pulling it out now four creatures were surrounding one which still had the kindjal impaled in its neck.

I growled in frustration why didn't they die? One lashed out hitting my wound I let out a cry and the white-hot pain that launched through my body. I heard my sister whimper as one of the monsters started heading towards her. I slowly gripping my side.

"Leave us alone!" I yelled a glowing purple wave launched out hitting one of the monsters making it burst into dust. I blinked slowly not noticing the two other ones until one tried to scratch my leg, I dodged sideways grabbing a broken chair leg as a weapon.

I stabbed the first one the whirled around to stab the second kicking its feet from under it causing it to fall giving me more time to fight its friend who quickly recovered from when I stabbed it. I ran from behind it pushing it along to hit the wall full force there was this weird slime in my hand. I got a wave of dizziness everything was spinning when something grabbed me and I flew across the room hitting the wall hard.

I arched my back groaning as the monster approached when an arrow prodded between its eyes and it burst to dust. I looked at the scene in front of me there was a dark-haired and hazel-eyed guy holding up a bow and arrow and behind him was blonde holding Clary who was unconscious my eyes widened at the state of my sister.

Alec Pov

We finally reached the apartment that we saw the two girls heading into after checking the surrounding the apartment before heading in. One of the girls was leaning on the wall as a demon approached her. The other one though was fighting two demons with amazing speed and gracefulness but the wouldn't die since she was literally using a leg from a broken chair. To kill demons you need a weapon which was inscribed with shadowhunter runes.

Jace has already gone to help the less talented sister, as I watched the other one fight pushing one of the demons onto the wall when she stopped her hand outstretched I narrowed my eyes at her actions when a demon crept behind her grabbing her jacket at threw her across the room she hit the wall hard.

I nocked an arrow and let it fly and the demon causing it to dissipate to dust. The fallen girl opened her blue-green eyes flitting at me the Jace finally settling on who I guess is her younger sister. She tried to get up but she fell down again eyes clenched in pain. I lowered my bow and ran over to help her.

Amelia POV

I tried to get up but I failed miserably as pain shot through my body. The black-haired boy ran over eyebrows furrowed.

"Take it slow that was quite an impact you took" He warned lending out his hand I grabbed it slowly getting up despised the pain I was able to stand.

"Thanks, Is my sister okay?" I asked nodding towards her

"Yeah demon scratch but Jace can carry her to the institute" He answered as the blond started walking out

"Demons?" I stuttered as a wave of dizziness hit me causing me to stumble but the guy steadied me

"Here let me help, we will explain everything at the institute." He said hand around my waist


At the institute

When we arrived they took Clary to the infirmary and sat me down near the pretty girl from the club who explained to me everything from runes to demons.

"When can I see her?" I asked the smiling girl

"Oh we can go now" She got up raven-colored hair swinging down her back as she walked, I followed her to what I guess was the infirmary. Clary was in one of the beds so we and the girl sat in the chairs near her bed.

"I never caught your name," The girl said looking up at me a smile dancing on her red painted lips

"Amelia Fray, you can call me Amy though, yours?" I asked

"Isabelle Lightwood but most call me Izzy" She answered I nodded. I reached out to stoke Clarys hair running my fingers through it curly strands.

"Your hair is very different from your sisters," Isabelle said pointing at my hair

"Oh yeah I actually have blonde hair but I wanted to look more like my mom and Clary so my mom let me dye it ginger. Now I'm going to let it grow out and leave it blonde" I explained

"That color is pretty close to Jace's" She pointed out, when I thought about it, yeah we both had blonde hair and blue eyes though mine were more green.

"Yeah weird," I said looking down at my sister's face it looked as if she was having a bad dream and her necklace was glowing purple I frowned slightly. Suddenly she lurched up her head banging against Isabelle's.

"Ow" Izzy muttered

"I don't know you!" She said her eyes fleeting around the room until they made contact with mine.

"Hi Clare Bear," I said giving her a hug I winced slightly as her hand touched my wound, I pretty sure I should tell Izzy about, but it could wait.

" I've never seen Jace so curious about a mundane." Izzy said tilting her head "Or distracted" she continued her grin widening Clary was still looking around the room

"Whos Jace?" She asked, I rolled my eyes at her bluntness

"You guys really don't know much do you?" Isabelle asked

"Not until you told me the basics so no" I answered

"All I know that some psychos toke my mother and now you people have taken me" Clary stuttered, I frowned at that wrapping my hand around her shoulder.

"And by 'taken' you mean 'saved your life'?" Isabelle chuckled and I gave a small smile

"A mundane shouldn't even be here, the other one might be a shadowhunter with the way she fights but her sister is a mundane." I heard a deep voice say I turned around to see the blue-eyed boy, I smiled slightly as he walked in.

"Where is 'here' exactly'?" Clary asked lifted my gaze from the floor still smiling and looked at her

"An institute" I whispered quietly giving here a pat on the shoulder making her frown

"I'm not a kid" she whispered back and I rolled my eyes

"You act like one and you're still little to me" I answered with a small smile

"She's not a mundane, Alec" The guy named Jace retorted. Alec what a nice name probably a nickname though.

"How do you know that" Alec replied his annoyance apparent

"Cause a seraph lade lit up in her hands when she touched" Jace clarified clearly agitated by his friend. It was true though he had the same colored hair as mine and the same eye shape though my eye clour was a shade greener.

I felt a soft hand reach to my side making me wince, I turned to Clary to find her retracting her arm which was stained red. Her eyes were wide I shook my head slightly hoping she won't say anything, no such luck she tapped Isabelle's shoulder while the boys were still arguing. Izzy turned so Clary whispered.

"Amy is hurt she is bleeding" She whispered so the boys wouldn't hear I facepalmed as Izzys eyes widened.

"Why didn't you say anything?" She asked her voice louder than I expected, Alec and Jace turned to look at us.

"What's wrong?" They said in unison, Isabelle walked to my side eyes ablaze.

"Clary where?" She asked my sister I shook my head one last time. The guys were confused as ever looking between Isabelle and me.

"Her side," Clary said pointing at my wound I let a groan of frustration.

"Let me see," Isabelle said lifting the side of my shirt tried to pull it down but she had already seen, and Clary's eyes were wide filled with concern.

"Alec, Jace stele now" She ordered the boys Alec came over with a stele thing

"I'm fine really" I shrugged getting up only to be hit with a mixture of dizziness and pain. My vision blurred and the room started spinning two frim hands caught me before everything went black.
