My eyes opened to a bright light

My eyes opened to a bright light. Heaven? I blinked a few times and saw a window. It was stained glass with decorations of an angel.

"Oh come on," I sat up only to see spots. "Ugh."

"Don't move that fast," Isabelle laughed.

"Ah," I touched my head. "I forgot."

"Lena!" Clary yelled. I winced again covering my eyes.

"Ah, don't yell," I said quietly.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Can I please hug you?" Clary came toward me. Her makeup wasn't all over her face and she was in different clothes. I sighed and let her hug me tightly. "I thought you were going to die."

"That was the plan," I joked. She hit my arm.

"Stop joking about that."

"Oh she's awake," Jace smiled. Alec followed him in. I looked down at my clothes.

"I changed you, here's some new clothes," Isabelle handed me a stack. They were black leather. I was opposed to her style, I just didn't know if they would fit me.

"Thanks." 

Clary wouldn't leave my side as I walked into a bedroom. Alec told me it was my room for the time being. Clary was in the bathroom while I changed. A slight knock on the door and then it opened. Alec and Jace both walked in.

"Wow, you give me no time," I laughed lightly and grabbed my shirt. Neither covered their eyes as pulled it over my chest. Isabelle must do this often. I looked down at the outfit.

"Isabelle is very proud of her body," Jace said.

"Are you going to explain what all that was now?" Clary asked. I turned back to the mirror looking at the rune on my neck. That definitely wasn't there before. "Also I'm not getting a tattoo like that."

"It's not a tattoo it's a rune," Alec and I both said at the same time. I looked over to him. His gaze quickly moved away from me.

"What does that mean?" Clary asked. "Lena, how much do you know?"

"After mom explained most of it to us, I know mostly everything," I pursed my lips as I stared at the floor. Clary looked away from me feeling guilty. I closed my eyes tightly before opening them again.

"How do we find our mother?"

"The mortal cup. Your mother has it?" Jace said. "Had it."

"I'm not sure. I don't even know what we are talking about right now?" Clary threw her hands in the air.

"You take her," I pointed to Jace. "Explain. I'll try to figure everything else out." Alec nodded as he moved for the door. I walked away from her, but she grabbed my hand.
