"I still don't understand. How can Shadowhunters be better than... than what you people call mundanes?" Clary began as we walked into the institute. I was anxious, Simon was still missing and I couldn't help but feel my nerves take over
"Because we protect humans." Isabelle responds
"You're right. Humans. You protect humans. You left Simon all alone in the van. Great job, guys. You rock." Clary snaps
"Clary" I hiss in warning. It wasn't like I didn't agree with her I just knew that these Shadowhunters could break all our bones in less than ten seconds.
"There is some truth to the idea that human beings should have a modicum of common sense." Alec states and I glared at him. At least he had the decency to look away
"Alec, not now." Isabelle warned
"Look, they won't do anything to Simon. They just wanted to draw you out. They want the Cup, and they think you have it." Jace states talking to Clary
"But why do they think that? Why does anyone think that? What, my mom lies to me my entire life except, "Oh, by the way, there's this magic cup, I hid on, like the planet Bongo, but don't tell anyone". What am I supposed to do now?" Clary cries sarcastically
"We have to report to the Clave." Alec hisses
"Great." Jace says rolling his eyes
"They have to know we've learned about Valentine." Alec states walking away and we follow as a group
"What, that he's my father? That he's Reigns father too?" Clary cries and I feel my eyes lower to the floor. It had been the first time that either one of us had acknowledged the fact that according to the silent brothers we were sisters and for some reason it made me feel sick "Great. Fine. Tell them. What good does that do Simon?" Clary continues and I snap out of my trace
"Clary, it's all connected. The vamps want the Cup and if they heard anything when we walked out they could know that Reign is your sister and that could make her a target too" Jace growls and I sigh
"I just wanted to study dance" I whisper under my breath but Jace's eyes snapped to mine and I saw something like remorse or maybe even guilt form in his eyes
"Why?" Clary asks and I sigh
"It makes new Shadowhunters." I whisper as if that was good enough explanation and Alec sighs
"Nobody wants Valentine forming an army loyal to himself." Alec states
"Plus, it controls demons." Izzy adds and Jace nods
"They'll propose a trade. Simon for the Cup." Jace states
"So, vampires will trade Simon for the Cup and Valentine will trade my mother for the Cup. Either way, I lose someone I love. What if I just toss it up in the air and let them fight it out among themselves?" Clary cries and Alec scoffs
"So, this doesn't matter to you?" he asks raising an eyebrow
"Yes, of course, it matters! Listen... when you saved my life... I put my trust in you. Now, I need you to put your trust in me. I can't turn into what you are overnight." Clary states
"It's true. She was raised as a mundane. They both were" Izzy adds as she looks over at me and I give her a small smile
"What are you, their spokesman now?" Alec growls
"I don't need a spokesman, I need to get Simon back" Ispit before I turn to walk away with Clary following me
