Chapter 6
"Looking for someone and actually doing something instead of hanging about with you guys" I answered, Alec raised one arched eyebrow
"You do understand that even though you are an exceptional fighter, life as a not properly trained Shadowhunter can get really difficult you could be dead in a year or two. You don't even know how to draw runes or fight werewolves, do you even know how to kill a vampire?" He asked he arms folded across his chest
"Yes, burn or stake them" I answered "I watch movies you know."
"Do movies tell you about the 7 princes of hell, or how to kill a ravener demon?" He retorted now sounding more annoyed than ever
"You would be surprised how accurate humans imagination is, Lightwood" Amelia stood up straight meeting Alecs stern gaze, it wasn't difficult since she was a tall girl only shorter than Alec by an inch or two.
Alec groaned rubbing his eyes before starting to speak again "Look you and your sister nearly died today because you guys don't know how to treat demon poisoning. We are trying to help you guys stay alive, so do you really want to run?"
I contemplated this, Alec had a point I really didn't know much about demon poising, runes and whatnot. So I'll stick around till I know my fill then I leave.
I gave in with a sigh "Fine, Ill stay but only till I learn what I need to learn"
"Okay any ideas on how we can help you and your sister " Alec said giving me a small smile which really did soften his hazel eyes making him actually seem less serious and more friendly.
"Yeah, my mom was friends with a woman named Dot the one that the demon shapeshifted to. When our mom told us to go to the police station Dots fingers had this spark that opens a part of the wall that was filled with swirling purple light. I think she knows about the ShadowWorld" I said quickly Alec nodded before speaking again.
"Dot must have been a warlock, half-demon half-mundane, they usually have a warlocks mark to separate them from normal mundanes but their marks could range from blue skin too unnatural green hair so we can't count on that, I have to talk to the Clave just go straight then take the second left you could find the others there" Alec said his voice sounding more serious now and he turned quickly going the opposite direction
"Wai-" I called out but he was already gone
"Okay he said straight then the second left that should be easy" I whispered as I moved down the hallway
"Amelia over here" I heard Clary call I turned finding my sister standing next to the raven-haired Isabelle from earlier
"I'm going to get you two a change of clothes for the mission" Isabelle said giving us a smile before turning around
"Follow me"
And we did, up the stairs we went we took a right then a left then another left until Isabelle stopped opening a door that led to a dim-lit room.
There was a nice bed with stain pillows and coverlet, a tall mirror leaned on one of the walls there was also a messy dresser and a huge matching wardrobe that looked like it was about to burst.
I took a deep breath I had always hated when things were messy, when I was younger I would take the time to organize the whole house I would even brave the mess in Clary's room which was always filled with paints and sketchbooks and some comics strewn on the floor.
"Okay you two just wait a few minutes while I find something that would fit you" Isabelle said she opened the wardrobe, and too my absolute horror clothes were piled up in layer and layers pink tops over of red ones, skirts, jeans, shorts, leather jackets all trampled up together. Isabelle didn't seem to mind since she was humming as she dug through trying to find some decent clothes in that mess.
"Umm, Isabelle" I asked my voice quiet my hands were twitching at my side
"Mhmm" She said urging me to go on
"This is gonna sound weird but could I tidy up your room" I asked my voice coming out a bit hoarse Clary looked up her green eyes concerned I waved he off.
"Um, yeah sure you can tidy my dresser if you want" Isabelle said with a shrug and she went back to digging among her clothes
I gave a sigh of real as I headed towards her dresser that was a tornado of make up supplies and jewelry. Slowly I start to organize them apart red lipsticks on this side pink blush on that side, My breathing steadies to normal as my hands fell into the comforting rhythm as I continued to separate them.
"Okay wow that was fast" I heard Isabelle say as I finally stepped back
"Thank you for that" I sighed before moving to sit on the bed next to Clary
"Pretty sure I'm supposed to thank you in this situation" Isabelle said flashing me a red painted smile, I shrugged brushing my hair out of my face.
"Well, anyways I finally found outfits to fit both of you" Isabelle said giving me and Clary a bundle of dark clothes
"Ill wait outside you two change" She said before heading out, Clary turned around and so did I as we began to change.
I picked up a deep purple tank top which was made with a stiff sort of materiel kind of like linen, I threw it over my head trying not to cough on the thick layer of vanilla perfume that wafted from the top. Next were the pants those were normal denim black skinny jeans which was alright by me.
There were also a pair of combat boots with a chunky heel I grimaced I despised heels since I was already tall I didn't need those when I did wear them on the are occasion they made me feel like a clumsy baby giraffe taking its first steps. At least the heels on this leather boot weren't that tall.
Next was a belt that I actually really needed since the pants Isabelle gave me were a tad bit to big and they hung uncomfortably loose on my hips so I slung the belt into the loops of the jeans. My favorite part of the outfit were the fingerless, dark purple, leather gloves which I excitedly put on. They matched beautifully with the tank top.
(I know that its not the exact same as my description but feel free to use you imagination)
"Izzy you can come in were done changing" Clary called out to Isabelle was was outside the door waiting patiently. I turned around to find Clary in a similar attire to mine except she didn't have the same shoes and Isabelle didn't give her a pair of gloves.
"I thought you might like the gloves they seem your style" Isabelle said I just nodded mumbling thanks.
"Okay you two go check the mirror see how you like your outfits" She said grabbing me and Clarys arm and dragged us towards the full-length mirror. I stood tall next to my sister we really were different my hair was now a braided rope of red and blonde, while hers lay in fiery curls down her back.
Clary didn't seem to happy with here outfit, to be fat the tops that Izzy let us burrow were tight fitting and showed a great deal of skin. I grimaced crossing my arms across my chest before turning to Isabelle.
"Izzy do you have a jacket or something" I asked, Isabelle pouted
"Is this the least revealing thing you have?" Clary raised one eyebrow in question
Isabelle gave a laugh "What? All the naughty bits are covered" before adding with a sigh "A little to much in my opinion"
"Please?" I said with a smile, Isabelle gave a sigh before saying.
"Well, I would give you both jackets but I only have my leather one here, well actually Alecs old one that I never wore, velvet is more of my thing not leather. Im giving it to Amelia over though since I do owe her for my dresser" Isabelle said throwing a dark leather jacket at me I caught it with a smile. Clary sighed, rolling her eyes as I put it on.
The jacket was maybe a size to big at the sleeves but it fit comfortably In general. I gave Isabelle a smile.
"Thank you for that" I said, Isabelle shrugged
"Your welcome" She replied now twirling a strand of her raven hair.
"Where is Simon?" Clary asked folding her arms across her chest
"Who?" Izzy asked with a frown Clary and straightedges up, I was about to speak when Isabelles face broke into a smile.
"Kidding, kidding" Isabelle said with a a giggle before adding
"He is in good hands with the boys" She said asking a sit on the bed her arms out to support her weight.
"So? You, Alec, and Jace are what, like, family?" Clary asked awkwardly leaning on one of the pillars that's stood tall in the room. I raised one eyebrow but said nothing.
"Translation, you wants to know if you and Jace are a thing " Isabelle said stretching with catlike grace moving more into the silk sheets of the bed. I gave a quiet laugh, Clary glared at me and I just shrugged.
"Why would I care?" Clary asked with a scoff
"Because you do, don't worry. In every way, he is like my brother. Our parents took Jace in when he was ten. We trained together learned to fight side by side" Isabelle trying to reassure my sister who brushed the subject off.
"A few days ago all I had to worry about was getting into art school, and now" Clary broke off with a sigh. Im moved over wrapping an arm around my sisters shoulder giving her a squeeze.
"Is this the part where I give you the pep talk about harnessing your inner Shadowhunter and accepting your true destiny? " Izzy asked
"Was that the pep talk, Iz?" I asked raising a nonchalant eyebrow, Isabelle just shrugged.
"Basically" She said with a chuckle Clary looked away, leaning on to me, making Izzy sigh before getting up and moving towards the ginger.
"Clary.." she said with a sigh brushing a strand of Clarys copper hair out of her face.
"Remember, you were born to do this, no matter what has happened this is who you are" Isabelle said her voice going soft
"Not exactly feeling that" Clary responded
"Yet, sister of mine. I promise I'll help whip you into shape" I whispered trying to make her smile, but she just looked up at me with a sigh.
"Okay? now we just have to find Dot" I added, Clary looked more nervous at the mention of our friend (sister from another mister? not sure hat to call her)
"And track down and kill the most dangerous rogue Shadowhunter in history before he kills us all" Isabelle added
"Yeah, and there is that" I said
"You really know how to ruin a pep talk, don't you?" Clary asked eyebrows raised, but Isabelle gave her a small nod before moving towards the door.
"Come on, let go" Izzy called out to the two girls.
"Oh, and Simon is kind of nerd-hot" She said giggling as she opened the door
"Well, that's a first" I said before walking out my arm still resting on Clarys shoulder.
