Chapter 12
CPOV
I was in the library of the Institution drawing. Everyone seemed to be doing their own thing. So I decided to come here for some peace and quiet.
Jace and Alec when to hunting, Isabelle went shopping and Bella was hanging out with Magnus to find out if there was a way to figure out what the Cullens where.
To be honest, I think she's more interested in Edward then if he's human or not. Mind you, I have pointed it out but she quickly denies it, blushes and walks away. I wouldn't be surprised if in the end, they start dating.
I was drawing Jocelyn's- or should I say Mom's - sleeping form that she hasn't woken up from. I set my cup down on the paper and stood up to stretch. I sat back down and went to grab for my cup. I didn't feel it there. I looked down and saw my cup in the paper. I gaped as I tried to figure out what the hell just happened.
"You're mother could do the same thing," someone said behind me. I whipped around and saw it was only Robert Lightwood.
"What do you mean?" I asked, turning around and trying to figure out how to get my cup back.
"Well, your mother is a great artist, and she could take anything and put them in the pictures," Robert answered as he walked closer to see. I put my hand into the page and grabbed onto it. I gaped as I pulled the cup out of the page. I held the cup closely and thought for a moment.
I quickly sent the cup down and went to look for a book. "What are you looking for?" Robert asked and I could feel his eyes following me.
"Looking for a book," I replied still searching.
"Can I help you in anyway?" he asked, I shook my head.
"Found it!" I exclaimed as I help up the book in triumph. I flipped through the book until I came across a picture of the three Instruments. "I've seen these before," I mumbled as I walked around.
"And what have you seen, may I ask?"
"The Mortal Instruments," I replied and racked my brain, trying to figure out where. Then it hit me like a bus. I shut the book and ran out of the room leaving behind a dumbfounded Robert.
"Guys!" I shouted as I ran around trying to find them.
"In the kitchen!" someone replied back. I headed there, and slammed the book on the island when I got there. This caused everyone to jump.
"Jeez Clary, no need to be loud," Bella grumbled.
"What's gotten into you?" I asked.
"She's grumpy because she and Magnus couldn't figure out their problem," Alec answered.
"No," Bella interjected, "Magnus did but he won't tell me."
Magnus laughed. "Sorry love, I made a promise and I intend to keep it."
Bella groaned. "You suck, Mag."
"You love me. Besides, you'll figure it out eventually. Anyways, Clary didn't you have something important to tell us?"
"What? Oh! Right!" I exclaimed remembering why I ran all the way here. I opened the book. "Has anyone ever know what the Instruments look like?" I asked as I flipped through it. I looked up breifly and they all shook their head. Well, except for Magnus. I went back to the book and found what I was looking for. I set the book down so everyone could see. "They look familiar?"
They studied the picture closely and I could see their gears moving as they thought. "Yeah. The cup looks like the cup on one of the cards Jocelyn's neigbours has," Isabelle said. We all looked at her. "What? Sometimes I like to get my life read. Problem?"
"Didn't know you believe in that stuff," Jace said, shaking his head.
"Not all the time, I just do it for fun." I don't know who's she trying to convince, us or her.
"The sword looks like the sword from school," Bella said, looking at it closely.
"What? You mean in Forks?" Alec asked, Bella nodded.
"But Charlie said they were all here. In New York," Jace said, scratching the back of his head.
"Guess he lied. He's very good at it," I muttered. I was still upset about it and it seems to be a touchy subject for the three of us.
"Okay, so the cup is here and the sword is in Forks. Where's the mirror?"
"I think I know where it is," Isabelle said and we all looked at her urging her to continue. "I think Renee has it."
"What are you talking about?" Jace asked. "Why on Earth would sure have the mirror?"
"I think Renee said Phil gave it to her on her birthday," Isabelle asked. "And when I asked where he got it from, she said from a friend."
Something dawned on me and I dropped the book and ran to my before.
"What's gotten into her?" I heard someone ask before I left the room. I didn't stay and hear the reply, I went straight to my room and looked for my phone. When I found it, I looked through trying to find Luke's number. When that was done, I called him. After our brief conversation, which consisted of me yelling at him and apologizing from him, I made my way back to the kitchen.
"What's the hurry?" Jace asked when I walked in, I shrugged.
"I don't know, I felt like running? Anyways, I called Luke and according to him, he gave it to Phil on Jocelyn's order."
"What now?" Simon asked for the first time, I looked up and they all looked confused.
I sighed, and rubbed my temples. "Jocelyn told Luke to give the Mortal Mirror to Phil for safe keeping. But Phil didn't want it. Luke didn't want to explain the whole Shadowhunters thing, so he suggested to give it to Renee for her birthday. Phil agreed and so now it's there," I finished.
"Did Luke know about us?" Bella asked, I nodded.
"Yeah, the only person who doesn't know is Phil. Renee knew, because apparently a mother knows her child. She just never said anything because Jocelyn made her promise to never tell anyone."
"I'm going to go and kick some asses now," Jace said and started walking out the door. Alec grabbed him by the collar, stopping him.
"No you're not," Alec said as he pulled him back. "There isn't any point. We have other things to worry about then who your real parents are."
"No point?!" Jace shouted. "We've been lied to all our lives!"
"Yeah well if we want a future, we have to worry about Valentine and what he has plans for the Mortal Instruments. We have to leave that for another time," Bella asked. Jace crossed his arms and pouted, I only rolled my eyes.
"Jeez Jace, can you be more of a baby?" I asked, his reply was sticking his tongue at me. "No but seriously, what's the plan? We can't collect them all and have them ready for Valentine to steal them and use them for whatever purpose."
"We could just leave them where they are now, confront Valentine before he could get his hands on them?" Simon suggested.
"Or we could get them all and keep them all in a safe place?" Jace said.
No one said anything, we were all lost in our own thoughts. "Why don't we collect them and I can cast a spell on them. That way, if or when Valentine gets them, we'll know right away," Magnus said breaking the selence.
"Alright, but where are we going to keep them?" Bella asked.
"Forks," I said, making everyone look at me.
"Why?"
"Well think about," I started, "it's the last place he'll look."
"But if he does look there, you three would be on your own. And that's a desaster waiting to happen," Jace said.
"What? You don't have enough faith in us?" Bella asked.
"I didn't mean that," Jace said. "It's just....." he trailed off.
"Yeah that's what I thought," Bella said in triumph. I shook my head. Weirdos.
"Alright, they can be there then. It's not like anything bad is going to happen."
Little did we know, something bad was going to happen.
