Chapter 1

Hey guys, this is my first fanfiction and I hope you like it! This is a really short chapter as I was just setting the plot and story, but I will have longer ones coming soon...Also feel free to give me feedback!!  Comment your view down below!

I am dedicating it to the author of changes and cry, two of my favourite tmi fanfics.

Clary was walking down a road next to an old abandoned church building, the kind you only go in if you want to have a party with rats. As she neared the building, she focused on its surroundings and imagined that she was pulling aside a curtain. The church slowly began to transform into what could possibly be called the most magnificent building in all of New York., the New York institute. Since the dark war, all glamours had been made stronger and harder to remove, so much so that even shadow hunters had to focus to spot them. As she got in, she made her way to the training room, which was the home inside of a home for three of her closest friends Izzy, Alec and Jace, three of the best shadow hunters of all time. There, Isabelle was tearing apart a dummy using her whip and alec was shooting at another with extreme accuracy and precision. Jace was not around. She was almost about to say hi when alec noticed her.

"Hey, when did you come?", he said putting down his bow and arrow. "oh, hey clary, I didn't see you come either." "hey you guys, I just came in. where's Jace?", she asked. Without looking at her Izzy replied, "he's gone on a mission. There was some disturbance in a park off somewhere." "How many times"-began clary, but alec cut her off. "Look we know you get angry when we let Jace go off on his own but there was not a lot we could do about it. He texted us when he had already left and besides the mission is nothing serious, he'll be fine." Well we have seen a lot worse than a couple of small demons running about in a park, she thought. "ok, but let me know next time", she said. Isabelle then said with a sigh," oh clary......You worry too much about him."

"Guys I made dinner. Come on.", Isabelle said to clary and alec who were both sweating after having an intense training session. As soon as she said that, she heard two loud groans and irritatingly replied," You don't have to show your dislike for my food so openly you know, it's rude. And at least I took an initiative. You have probably never even entered the kitchen". "Fair enough", replied clary and izzy shot Alec a smug look. "I always knew you were my best friend", she said to Clary.

Sitting in the dining room, Izzy was eating soup and noodles, or should I say she was trying to eat. She wondered to herself how anyone ever digested this stuff. "Izzy are you here?", clary asked taking her away from her thoughts. "I completely agree with you", she replied hastily. "Oh really? You agree with Alec when he says that Jace is probably off having a fight with vampires to give me their fangs as a birthday gift?", Clary said with a chuckle. "see? I told you she wasn't listening." "Seriously Alec, Jace might not have the best history with gifts, but vampire fangs? Either you have a horrible sense of humour, or you are just really dumb.", she replied. "So, what were you guys talking about?". "About whether Jace is in some trouble. It has been a long time since we saw him and the mission should not have taken so long.", Alec answered worriedly. It was clear that he was concerned as he did not even reply to her insult. Clary was just as worried if not more. "Guys relax. It's Jace, he'll be fine. There must be some sort of a problem but if it was important, he would have found a way to tell us about it and Alec will know if he is in any danger. If he's not here by tomorrow, we'll go out looking for him.", she said. "I guess you're right Izzy", Clary said while Alec nodded his head in agreement.

Even though she had agreed with Izzy and pretended to brush off her concerns, Clary felt that something was seriously wrong somewhere.
