Then I Met Her

Chapter 4

I walked thorough the night with the girl with fiery red hair, turning and twisting around corners.

It was pitch dark outside so I couldn't see a thing, but I think she was holding some sort of stone that lights up.

I was silent the whole way. I was afraid that she might hurt me with that.. Dagger thing.

What the hell am I doing following a girl who just killed something and told me that I didn't look like a vampire to werewolf!?

After what felt like hours of walking she said,"Here we are. The New York Institute. Come on now little mundane."

Mundane? I followed her inside of what looked like a dump. A big building with shattered windows and trash all around it.

Why is she bringing me to a dump? I didn't question her and followed her inside, not wondering what to expect.

Once I walked inside I was amazed. It was defiantly not a dump. It was a huge church like building with loads of rooms from what I could see. Pictures in frames with an.. Angel? Coming out of a lake I think, holding a cup. Interesting.

"Come on." I was looking at the picture that I didn't notice the red haired girl telling me to come on. I still don't know her name yet.

She led me into what looked like a living room. There were 5 people there already. Two boys that looked like twins and were maybe 17,18? With short brown hair and were pale and looked kinda tall. And then there was a girl who looked about 10 with long red hair, she looked like the girl who brought me here. Then there were two adults over in the other side of the room. The man was very tall with red hair and freckles and looked very stern. Then there was the woman with chocolate coloured hair and was of medium height and looked very happy and jolly.

Once they laid their eyes on me it felt as if the whole room just froze.

The man with the red hair stood up. "Clary a word please. Alone."

Clary. That was her name.

Clary followed the man outside. You could hear murmuring outside the door.

"Hello there." Said the woman.
"Hi, um what, where am I mam." I asked. I was very lost.

"Hi I'm Imogen Clarys mum. This is probably very confusing to you right now." She said.

"Yes it is. Extremely." "Well, it's very unusual for a mundane like yourself to be able to see us." Us?

"Excuse me m'am. What do you mean us?" I asked the woman.

"Why don't we wait until clary and Will come in."
"Ok then." I replied still utterly and completely confused.

"Well, as I told you I'm Imogen and these are my wonderful children."she said pointing to the twins and little girl.

"This," she said gesturing to the two boys,"is Max and Jules there my two twins and their both 17, and this is Aline, she's 7."

"Hey, I'm Jace Lightwood. I'm 16." I said nervously.

Just then clary walled I'm the door with Will. Imogen told me the name of her Clarys dad. They told me to sit down in front of them.

"Jace I hope you don't mind if I ask you some questions?" asked Will. Everyone in the room was just staring me and I was getting uncomfortable and don't where I am. "Ok, sure." I told Will.

"Good. These may sound very surreal to you but just be honest with me now son." I nodded in response.

"Clary here told me outside when you first saw her in the ally that you were surprised when she asked you about vampires or werewolves, I know you probably think there's no such thing but there is. So, if you don't mind telling is but tell us about yourself from the very beginning." It was all so much to take in that I didn't realise that didn't reply yet and everyone was staring at me.

"Oh sorry. Um well I'm Jace Lightwood I'm 16 and I go to Redwood High School. I was adopted when I was 10 as my parents died. I now live with the Lightwoods. My adoptive mother is called Maryse and dad is called Robert and they have three children of there own, Alec, Isabelle and Max. Alec's 18, Isabelle's 16 and Max's 9. I live just a few minutes from here the house is pretty big as Robert is a very successful businessman and Mayrse works at a very expensive hotel as a manager." I said to the family six who were looking at me with wide eyes.

"Well jace," said Clary, " I think we better get down with the important thing."

"Which is?" I asked "Let's get talking about Vampires, werewolves and faeries, yes faeries, warlocks and Shadowhunters which I think YOU might be."

Ok guys I know I am not updating and I am SO sorry but there's a lot of things going on right now. Chapter 1 is missing and so is one of my authors notes. I know I keep saying this and I'm not lying, I do actually think I've been hacked. I'm thinking of deleting this story I really am :( I really don't want to but I'm not feeling it anymore and I have no time anymore. I'm sorry.
