LOGINChapter 88.WHAT'S BEST FOR THE PACK.Clary's POVSeated on the couch, I sighed, and scrubbed my face with my hands.“Are you still thinking about it?” Hayley's voice broke in on my thoughts as she walked towards the sitting room. “You know what I think? I think you're overthinking things here.”She sat right next to me.“I get that you don't want to do this.” she said, in a soft voice. “But no matter how much we look at it, that's the only way to go about this situation. If she opens her mouth to say what she saw, not just you, but the entire supernatural world would be in danger, do you know that?” She narrowed her gaze. She didn't need to remind me of that. However, asking Mrs Johnson to erase her memory just didn't sound right. Was it the only option we had? Maybe. But then, what if things go south? How possible would it be to take out just that memory from her head without distorting the other ones? That was my fear. “What if things go wrong?” I said, with a shrug. “I mean, we
Chapter 87.FINDING A QUICK FIX.Clary's POV.I turned my back to Gracie.“It is nothing.” I closed my eyes, and let out a sigh. “I guess you must have seen wrong.” “No, I'm sure I saw something.” she said. “It was… it was a flash. I don't know exactly what it is, but your eyes, they changed for a moment.” “Look, we've had a long day.” I said, turning to face her knowing that my eyes had returned to normal. “I guess your brain is just trying to play some tricks on you. Just go home and rest, and we'll talk tomorrow, alright?” “So this is it?” she scoffed, blinking her eyes in confusion. “You aren't going to tell me what that is? Really? How long do you think you can hide whatever this is from me, huh? A month? Or perhaps two? Say a year?” “You are overreacting now.” I said, using a measured tone. “Like I said, and will keep on saying, there's nothing I'm hiding from you.” “Lies.” she said, her voice as cold as the look in her eyes. “You keep lying to me Clary.” “I can't change t
Chapter 86.A MOMENT OF ANGER.Clary's POV.“Thanks Greg.” I said, with a hand on the door of the car, ready to open it.But I paused as if recalling some words that I should have said to him before then. Meanwhile, Gracie and Hayley had gotten down from the car. I couldn't say exactly why Gracie decided to come to my house with me. Although, I tried to talk her out of it, but she insisted. Greg could have driven her down to her home, and with that they could have the conversation that they couldn't while they were still at his place. However, it seemed like she had other things on her mind.“Will she be fine?” I asked, my voice laced with concern. “It seemed quite serious back there.” “Of course, she will.” he said, with a brief smile. “It is just a mild headache, that's all. There's nothing to worry yourself about. Besides, it can be fixed with a spell or two.” Knowing that the situation could be fixed with a spell or two, that was the only reason I wasn't all that scared. But th
Chapter 85.AN EMERGENCY. .Clary's POV.“You are still here?” I asked, narrowing my gaze at the words. “I thought…” “You thought I wouldn't be here?” Gracie righted herself from the couch, and raised a brow. “Well, I'm still here. Is there anything wrong with that?” There was absolutely nothing wrong with her deciding to wait for me. If anything, it just showed how much she cared. However, I wasn't just thinking that I would still find her with Greg when I returned. It seemed like their friendship had grown deeper than I thought in just a few hours together. “Uh? No. No, there's nothing wrong.” I stuttered, shaking my head. “If anything, I'm glad that you decided to wait for me.” “Well, that's all thanks to Greg.” she said, with a smile. “He kept me company all the while.” “Thank you.” I said, with a brief smile. “You are welcome.” he said, tipping off an invisible hat. While we were still talking, Mrs Johnson walked into her room. I expected that much from her; she needed al
Chapter 84.SOMETHING IS COMING.Clary's POV.While walking with Mrs Johnson, I glanced over my shoulder again. I couldn't tell how many times I'd done that, but I just wanted to be sure that Hayley was still coming behind us. For a moment, her footsteps went silent as if she suddenly changed her mind again. I couldn't say exactly what made her change her mind to leave with us, but I could only hope that it was enough reason for her not to return. Meanwhile, she was right behind us. “You want to have a word with her?” Mrs Johnson's voice cut through my thoughts.“Pardon?” the word jolted out of my mouth.“Do you want to have a conversation with her?” she reiterated, as we walked across the road, to where she parked her car.“No, I don't think it's the best time to do so.” I said, with a brief smile. “If anything, I believe she needs some time alone. She must have been through a lot these past few hours.” “You think so?” she stopped walking as we got to the spot where her car was pa
Chapter 83.NOT ANYONE, BUT YOURSELF!Clary's POV.“I told you not to look for me, didn't I?” Hayley asked, her voice as hard as steel. “What are you doing here? Why wouldn't you just listen to me?” “You are about to make a wrong decision.” I said, in a soft voice. “I can't allow you to do that.” “Are you kidding?” she scoffed, folding her arms across her chest as she leaned back in her chair. “Who are you to lecture me on the decision I'm about to make? If it's a right or wrong decision, let me be the judge of that.” She pushed her chair backward, and got on her feet. Perhaps, that was her way of saying that she was done with the conversation. But I wasn't. I mean, we'd barely spoken for a little over ten minutes, and she wants to end the conversation already? I barely managed to talk her into coming down, because she was ready to climb up that stairs again and return to whatever room it was that she crawled out from. In the meantime, I turned my face to the side and looked at M
