LOGINChapter 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 89.TIME IS THE ENEMY.Clary's POV.“Mrs Johnson, are you in?” I knocked on the door of her office. “Mrs Johnson?” I'd been saying those words for the past ten minutes, and also knocking on the door. But, there'd been no response so far. I sighed. Greg clearly said that she was doing fine last night, what could have happened? I dropped my gaze and stared at the doorknob. It did seem like the only way, but I didn't want to go in unannounced, that was the more reason why I'd been knocking on the door for so long. However, it seemed like I would just have to.In the meantime, I gripped the knob, and turned it open. I walked into her office, and swept my eyes all over the place, but she wasn't in. Turning my head to the side, I noticed an open book on her desk. It seemed like it was something important. Perhaps, time didn't permit her to go through it all else she wouldn't have left it open that way. That particular page must have meant something, or contained some kind of info
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.”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
