Clarys breath was trembling as she ran back down the hallway. "Clary... Clary, look will you just calm down?"
"Calm down? Really calm down?" Clary asked him
"Okay Jace you might be some kind of emotionless G.I Joe, but..." I started to say
"What is a G.I Joe?" Jace asked turning to face me
"A soldier who doesn't understand human emotions, who doesn't know what it is like to loose someone, to lose your own Mother... and Clary has been through a lot in the last 24 hours she just needs time to process." I tell him
"Your right, i never knew my mother."
"Sorry" me and Clary say at the same time
"I didn't know." I tell him giving him a small smile
"That's precisely my point. You don't know anything about this, you don't know anything about me, you don't know about my life. But in the Shadow World, no training and no plan gets you killed."
"Okay so we know that Valentine is back and he wants the Cup, and for some reason he thinks my mother has it." Clary says with a sigh
"Could she? Have the Cup?" He asks
"I don't know."
"Look, Clary you know about runes, you've drawn them, you... you know something. Think please."
"Ive tried Jace, okay? Its just an empty blackness" Clary tells him
Jace sighs "your memories been wiped."
"That's not possible is it?" Clary asked him
"Absolutely... if you know a warlock."
"A warlock?" Clary says
"Yeah a warlock, Clary. Immortal beings they're half demon, half human, sometime there fingers spark."
"Dot." I tell them "She lived in the antique store below Jocelyns apartment, shes the one that opened the portal and gave Jocelyn the potion... we just have to find her."
"Wait so your saying if we find the real Dot she could help us find the Cup and get my mum back?" Clary asked us
"Yes" me and Jace said at the same time
"Unless shes working for Valentine." Clary adds
"She's not working for Valentine trust me." I tell her
Jace walked away saying he had to go find Alec, Izzy came over to us and took us to her bedroom so we could get changed into some other clothes.
"Where's Simon?" Clary asked Izzy. After she walked out of the bathroom in a clear pair of clothes. "Is this the least revealing thing you have?" She asked the Lightwood
Izzy chuckled "What? All the naughty bits are covered, a little to much in my opinion." She said turning to look at me "Now your turn." She said throwing me some clothes
"Clary you look hot." I say turning and walking into the bathroom.
"Where's Simon a hear Clary ask Izzy through the door
""Who?" Izzy asks before laughing "Kidding he's in good hands with the boys."
"What do you think." I say walking back into the bedroom
"I love it." Izzy says "thank god one of you knows fashion... no offence Clary."
"No problem... so um, you and Jace are what, like, family."
Izzy chuckles "translation you want to know if Jace and i are a thing."
Clary scoffs "Why would i care?" She said leaning back against the wall
"Because you have a thing for him and im pretty sure he has a thing for you." I tell her
"Says you whats with your constant flirting with Alec"
"What can i say, he's hot." I say with a smile and Izzy smiles too
"Don't worry, in every way he's like my brother, our parents took Jace in when he was ten, we trained together. Learned to fight side by side." Izzy reassured Clary
Clary sighs again "A few days ago all i had to worry about was getting into Art School." She inhales "and now..."
"Is this the part where i give you the pep talk about harnessing your inner shadowhunter and accepting your true destiny." Izzy asked Clary and me
"Was that the pep talk?" I ask her
"Basically" she said laughing "Clary," she sighs tucking her hair behind her ear "Remember you were born to do this, no matter what has happened... this is who you are, you to Hayley." She smiles at me.
"Not exactly feeling that." Clary said
"Yet" Izzy completes with a smile
"Okay know lets go find Dot." I tell them starting to walk out the room
"And track down and kill the most dangerous rogue shadowhunter in history before he kills us all."
"You really know who to ruin a pep talk don't ya Izzy?" I ask her turning around in the doorway to face her.
"Come on lets go, oh and Simon is kind of nerd-hot." Izzy says walking past me
When we got to the training room i talked to Simon and Clary while we were waiting for the other three.
"Lets get out of here, just you two and me, we can get Dot ourselves." Simon aid fixing his jacket
"Simon don't be a fucking idiot we'll get killed by demons." I tell him "Do you wanna die because you didn't know how to kill a demon." I look at him and he doesn't say anything "I didn't think so."
"I'm and internet search away." He told me
"Simon its not that fucking simple." I say sighing
"I bet you its not that hard." He says as Izzy walks past us and opened an arsenal
"Wow" she whispers touching a blade
"No, Izzy" Jace says pushing her hand away
"Fifty bucks says he doesn't approve this mission." Izzy says and looks in Alec direction as he walks towards us
"I don't approve of this mission." Alec says as he stops in front of us "I spoke with the Clave, they're sending Seelie scouts to search for Valentine but they made it clear the little girls do not leave the premises." Alec told us.
"Don't be such a spoil sport, I can show you how to have some fun" I say smirking at him and leaning against the table. "And my name isn't little girl, its Hayley."
"I don't care what the Clave think or you want, were going to find Dot." Clary told Alec
"Alec this warlock could have the answers we need, with Valentines people out there searching for Clary and Hayley, they're not safe outside alone." Jace told Alec
"Jace has a point." Izzy said
"Et tu, Izzy? All right since you have all the answers, where do you suggest we search?" Alec asked us
"Dot lives in the antique store under Jocelyns apartment she is..." I stop talking when i hear Clary gasp next to me, i spin around to face her and see she is holding the necklace that Jocelyn gave her.
"What wrong? What is it?" Jace asks her
"I um..." she exhales "Weirdly, i think i know where Dot is." Clary told us
'Great, ill drive" Simon said pulling his keys out of his pocket. "What? Unless you have like a shadowhunter-mobile or something." Izzy chuckles
"That would be sick." I say
Simon looks at the floor then to the shadowhunters. "You were kidding about the runes on the floor killing me... right?" They look at each other and smile.
"Possibly." Jace said walking past Simon as the rest of us followed him
"I dibs sitting on Alec lap." I call after them, they turn around and look at me. "What? There are only five seats and im willing to take one for the team." I say shrugging innocently, Izzy laughs and the two boys keep walking.
"Your sacrifice is noted Hayley." Jace says
"Wait... am i gonna die?" Simon asked afraid
When we get to Simons van he gets in the drivers seat, Clary gets in the passenger door, the rest of us get in the back with me and Alec on the right side of the van. Alec puts his arms around my waist so I don't fall while were driving and i lean half on the door half on Alec as i give him a smile.
"Simon can you pull into the Maccas drive thru im starvin." I ask Simon but he drives right past it "Simon" I complain kicked the back of his chair
"You have to be the most annoying person i have ever met." He tells me
"But you still love me." I say kicking the back of his chair again suddenly he hit the breaks and i hit the back of my head on the window "Owwwww" I groan rubbing the back of my head "You're a prick."
"We're here." He states jumping out of the van, Alec lets go of my waist straight away and opens the door
"No need to stop touching me so soon... i wasn't complaining." I tell him as he pushes me out of the van
"If any of my usual skills are of for the next hour a personally blame you Simon." I say to no one in particular still rubbing the back of my head.
We walk for a minute or two in silence until we're at the alley CLary said she saw Dot in, she reaches up to touch the necklace again and gasps.
"Dot! Dot!" Clary yells and runs towards the Pandemonium before anyone can stop me i take of after her.
"Clary, Hayley." Jace calls after us "Clary, stop! Where are you going?" Jace asks as the other three catch up to us
"Two men, Circle members... the same ones who came to my house who took my mum." Clary says trying to steady her breathing "They have Dot, they're gonna hurt or kill her, we have to stop them!"
I enter the Pandemonium walking next to Clary, we look around for any sign of Dot but she is already gone.
"No, she was just trying to help me." She said touching the necklace "Now shes gone."
"Its not your fault Clary." I say putting my arms around her
"You don't understand, Dots like my big sister." Clary says
"Hey, i thought i filled that position." I say faining hurt, making her smile
"Its not safe here, we have to go back to the institute right now." Alec told us
"So what know? Valentine has my mum and Dot and we're just gonna give up?" Clary asked
"We're not giving up, your memories cant be gone forever." I told her
"There is another option." Jace said
"Don't even..."
"Absolutely not." Izzy and Alec say at the same time
"I'm not afraid of the Silent Brothers." Jace told us
"Who are the Silent Brothers?" Clary asked
"They're shadowhunters with superior powers." Jace said
"Who posses the ability to recover memories." Izzy said
"A process that can kill you, so there's that." Alec completed
"Your bedside manner is abysmal." Simon told Alec
"We've broken at least 18 Clave rules and now you want to go to the City of Bones? There's no way, I wont allow it." Alec told Jace
"Cmon Alec live a little." I told him
"This isn't our choice to make, this is Clarys decision." Jace said
'You cant ask her to do this, she doesn't know what they're facing, shes not prepared." Izzy told him
"If any on can tell me another way to recover my memories and still get the answers i need, im listening." Clary said no one said anything.
"Alright, that settles it, next stop is the City of Bones... im loving badass Clary by the way." I say
"See? I told you shes one of us." Jace says touching Alec's shoulder as he walks past.
