MasukChapter 95.YOU'RE WELCOME TO TRY!Clary's POV.“I have no idea what you're talking about right now.” I said, my voice shook a little. “Of course, you don't.” Gracie said, walking behind me. “I don't expect that you would admit to what I just said. Of course, you would try to deny it.” She stood in front of me, and folded her arms across her chest. “However, I don't think there's any reason to deny the truth, Clary.” she added. “You know, your secret is safe with me.” “I have no secret, Gracie.” I said, in a soft voice. “So like I said earlier, I don't know what you're talking about.” “Oh, please! Just drop the act Clary!” she rolled her eyes at the words. “You know exactly what I'm talking about.”“You are accusing me right now.” I said, using a measured tone. “Are you sure you can defend yourself if I decide to take this to the authorities?” “All you have to do is to tell me the truth Clary.” she said, looking me straight in the eyes. “You are a werewolf aren't, you?” “Keep y
Chapter 94.STUCK IN BETWEEN.Clary's POV.“Greg! Greg, wait!” I quickened my pace, trying to catch up with him. “Greg, please wait. We can talk about this. It's not what you think.” He heard me calling out to him, and I was sure of it because he turned back a few times. Or perhaps, he was just trying to measure the distance between us to know if he had to walk faster or not. If that was the case, then he wasn't helping matters because leaving didn't seem like a good idea. Besides, where to? He was in pains. My best guess was that he was heading to the infirmary. But then, going back there would only raise the doctor's curiosity. “Greg?” I called, avoiding the crowd of people coming my way. “Can you just stop and let's talk about this, please.” He stopped, and turned back to me. I sighed, and walked up to him.“Look, I know how you feel right now.” I said, in a soft voice. “However, where are you going to?” “You know how I feel right now?” he asked, staring at his hand. “You hav
Chapter 93.A BROKEN HEART. Clary's POV.“Greg!” I called, cupping my mouth with both hands. “Greg!” However, he had gone too far to hear me. Perhaps, even if he did, he didn't bother to answer to me. I could understand how he felt, but then waiting would have been the best option. Don't give me that look. I didn't mean to lie to him, and I wouldn't have thought of doing that, but I had no choice. That was the only way to buy Mrs Johnson some time, and perhaps alert her of the situation so she would know how to go about it. Meanwhile, I knew that I just couldn't stand there doing nothing, or expecting him to change his mind, and return to me. With that thought, I began to walk towards Mrs Johnson's office. As I got close to her office, I noticed that the door was opened. I quickened my pace. But as I got in, I found Greg alone.Standing right behind him, I clutched my chest with a hand and heaved a sigh of relief. Things would have gone from bad to worse if he'd found his mother
Chapter 92.SHEDDING OFF THE PAST.Clary's POV.I pulled Greg into a corner.“What in the world happened to you.” I asked, keeping my voice down. “Why is your hand swollen?”“I have no idea either.” he said, looking more confused than he sounded. “I-I just woke up, and found it like this.” “You just woke up and found it like this?” I asked, dropping my gaze to the hand. “How is that even possible? I mean, it doesn't make any sense.” “Did you fall? Or perhaps…” “It is nothing like that, Clary.” he said, speaking through his teeth. “I am not a kid. If something happens to me, then I will know it. However, this?” He sighed, glancing at the hand.“This just doesn't make any sense to me.” he added, shaking his head. “It hurts so much. It just feels like whatever has been holding it together, has fallen apart. The pain is twice what I felt when it was broken by that… ugh!” He made the sound in his throat, and formed his hand into a fist. “So, you're trying to say that you woke up and
Chapter 91.IT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE.Clary's POV.Yeah. I get it. She needs my help, and I need hers too. But let's be honest here, neither of us can take out Eric if push comes to shove. We'd literally be walking into our own graves if we decide to get, no, steal that book from him. Without her magic, we're as good as dead. Besides, I've got just one more day left, if I decide to go with her and cause a distraction, he would figure it out. If anything, he would be expecting that I brought Reggie's spell book with me. But if he realizes that I didn't bring it with me, then he would learn that it was just a scheme to keep him distracted.“Uhm,” I said, rubbing the base of my neck. “I really don't know what to say about this. I just have this weird feeling that things might go, wrong.” I shrugged my shoulder.“All you have to say right now is yes.” she said, nodding her head as she looked into my eyes. “If I decide to do it alone, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the book mysel
Chapter 90.A SUICIDE MISSION.Clary's POV.For a minute, or perhaps, two, the office was dead quiet. It didn't make any sense that there was something wrong with her magic. There were only a few hours between last night, and this morning, but in that space, something had affected her magic? “I don't understand.” I said, shaking my head. “You were doing just fine. Well, fine until you collapsed on the floor. But Greg mentioned that you were okay after he drove me home last night.” “Yes, I was. Or perhaps, I thought that I was.” she said, with a shrug of her shoulder. “But then, the dizziness just wouldn't stop. So, I tried to uhm,” She sighed.“I tried to use my magic, and that was when I realized that there was something wrong with it.” she added. “I have just been trying to figure out what must have gone wrong, but no matter how hard I think, nothing comes to mind.” “Does Greg know about this?” I asked, narrowing my gaze. “Have you told him yet?” “No, I can't do that.” she said
Chapter 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.”Sh
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
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 d
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
