The Other Morgenstern

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ғᴏᴜʀ: sɪᴍᴏɴ ʟᴇᴡɪs

Isabelle was making dinner for everyone, she stared at her  masterpiece and watched it carefully unaware of what was going to happen  next. "Dinner?" Skylar said walking past the counter and directly  towards the cabinets. 

"Yes, it is-Jace WAYLAND! More mundies!?"  Isabelle shouted seeing a cute nerdy Mundie standing closely beside  Clary. Jace sighed and walked towards the fridge. 

"We didn't  have a choice," Skylar said, she closed the cabinets and scanned the  counters. She was starving maybe skipping breakfast wasn't the best idea  even if Isabelle did burn their breakfast.

"The cupcakes are  right here." Skylar turned around quickly, Isabelle pointed at the  cupcakes with her spoon. "Actually no!" Isabelle smacked Skylar's hand  away from the sweets and shook her head. Skylar backed away as Isabelle  pointed at her with the spoon. "You need to eat real food, no more  sweets!"

"Ridiculous. This is real food" Skylar said and pouted,  Jace kept eating and knew it was best to leave this between the girls.  The last time he stepped into a disagreement he got a black eye from  Skylar.

"What is ridiculous is how much sweets you eat in a day."

"What  can I say, I love my sweets," Skylar replied and grinned, Isabelle  rolled her eyes and stirred her soup. That nasty soup that no one  planned on eating, at all. Her cooking was the worst, and it could kill  someone one day.

"Anyway, how did everything go?"

"Well other than me almost dying great," Skylar said softly hoping that Isabelle didn't hear the last part, she was wrong.

"You almost what now?"

"Died.." Skylar repeated, Isabelle hit Jace on his shoulder with the spoon.

"Ow!  What the hell?!" Jace said as he rubbed his shoulder softly with a  frown on his lips, it wasn't his fault that a god damn Forsaken was  there. He did what he could.

"You almost let her die?!"

"Listen  here Iz, I would never let her die and you know that. A Forsaken caught  us by surprise." Jace said defending himself, Skylar nodded in  agreement. All he had done was save her from death. It happened all so  quick if he could change things he would.

"Can we find Hodge?" Clary asked she didn't care for all of this chit chat..she needed to speak to Hodge as quickly as possible.

"Yes, we can."

"I'm  Simon." The mundane said as he stared at Isabelle, the longer he stared  the more likely he was to start just drooling all over the kitchen  floor.

"Isabelle." She replied and winked at him. Looks like she had a new little toy she could mess around with.

Skylar  had been in her room, staring at the ceiling..she was finally able to  process all that has been going on and man it was a lot more than she  was expecting if she were, to be honest. She didn't know why her mother  would hide such a thing from her. But before she could speak to  Seraphina, she heard Isabelle knocking on her room door. "Brother  Jeremiah is asking to see you."She said through the door, the blonde sat  up with a confused expression on her face.

"What the  hell.." She mumbled under her breath before she slipped out of her bed,  and walked towards her door, slowly opening it. "Why?"

"He wants  to see your memories, you don't have to do it," Isabelle spoke, she was  slightly freaked out by seeing the Silent Brothers in general..they  weren't good to look at.

"Amazing. Let's go." Skylar said as she  followed Isabelle away and down the hall. She was quite nervous about  what was about to go down.

Brother Jeremiah placed his  hands on the side of Skylar's head, she relaxed and gulped feeling  nervous. He wanted to go through her memories when Brother Jeremiah  attempted to go through her mind Skylar's necklace began to glow and let  out a violent pulse scaring Skylar to death.

She backed away  slowly, breathing heavily. Her hands were shaking, was this her or was  it Seraphina? "What was that?" Isabelle asked Brother Jeremiah stood  there frozen for a second until he spoke.

"It seems your memories are being guarded by a strong force."

Skylar  walked back and turned around, Alec tilted his head and saw something  was terribly wrong with her. "Skye, are you okay?" He asked quietly  noticing that she looked quite shaken.

"Y-Yeah." She replied she  rubbed her hands together before she inhaled deeply trying to calm  herself down and eventually she did manage to do so.

"Is there anything you can do?" Hodge asked

"I  will need to take Clarissa to Silent City, Skylnn's mind is safe and  very well guarded. The Brothers will not be able to reach Skylnn's  memories."

"I'll do it," Clary said, Skylar walked over to Jace and sighed. She didn't want to say this but it was necessary.

"Go  with her." Jace looked down at her, his golden eyes seemed to brighten  seeing her up close. "As much as I don't like her, I don't need her to  end up dead or else my mother will kill me once we find her. Are you  capable of that?"

"Of course I am."
