For sticking with a schedule and never missing a Tuesday, or getting so excited that I posted a chapter early! It was challenging but I really enjoyed it! Now, I know you're all wondering whether I am going to do a sequel for this story, and I'll have you all know, I WILL be doing a sequel, one that isn't as long as this story, but something that I felt like I needed to do, and something I felt you all would really enjoy. To give Simon his story, and to give everyone else a happy ending. I purposely left the future out of here because I wanted to do something in another story! Let me know what you think, and thank you for reading with me! :)

Chapter Twenty Three

Time Jump – One Year Later

Clary POV:

"I say we go to Taki's." Izzy said as we walked down the street. We were up all night trying to get control of the influx of new vampires that was running ramped in the streets, and although we haven't had any sleep yet, we were all incredibly starving.

"Anything to keep you out of the kitchen." Jace said and I couldn't help but laugh. Jace had his arm slung around my shoulders as we walked down the street. We got to Taki's and took our normal booth. The waitress already knew our order so she didn't even come over before getting our drinks ready.

"I can't wait to get back to my bed." Alec complained and Izzy started laughing.

"You mean your sexy warlock boyfriend's bed." Izzy said and Alec flushed but I absolutely loved their relationship.

"Don't make fun of him Iz." Jace said. "You know he's sensitive."

"Leave Alec alone." I said to a laughing Jace and Izzy. "He's happy, let him live."

"Thank you Clary." Alec said and I smiled at him.

We sat there and ate our lunch and even though I was exhausted I felt better now that I had food in my system. We were walking back to the institute when Izzy ran into a kid and he turned around.

"Watch where you're going." He said and we all turned around.

"Simon, who are you talking to?" His friend asked.

"Them." Simon said as he pointed to us.

"A tree?" His friend said. "Come on Simon, you're a nerd, but even that's taking it a little too far." His friend said and we all chuckled.

"You can't see them?" Simon asked his friends.

"There is nobody there." His friends said as they walked across the street to the school.

"But the tall girl, and the redhead, and the blonde." The boy stuttered. "Wait, guys I'm not crazy!" The boy said as he ran after his friends.

"Do you think we should go after him?" I asked.

"Give him a few days to not think he's crazy. We can approach him another day, without being glamoured, and preferable without his geek pack." Izzy said and we all laughed.

"Anyone can have the sight these days." Jace said. "Think he can make it through the process?" He asked.

"There is only one way to find out." Alec said. "He ascends." We all nodded and continued back to the institute to get some sleep. When we finally got there my legs were ready to give out. Thankfully Jace scooped me into his arms and carried me to his room. We got comfy in his bed and he kissed the top of my head.

"I love you." He said and I couldn't help but smile.

"I love you too." I said and I was out.

Time Jump – A Couple Days Later

Jace POV:

Izzy had followed that boy we ran into the other day, and according to her, he spends his Thursday afternoon's at a coffee shop. Our runes were hidden but we weren't glamoured so people could see us. We looked in the window, and sure enough, he was sitting at a table reading someone. Alone. We walked in and all took a seat around him. He looked up and he looked confused.

"You." He said and we all laughed.

"Us." Izzy said. "My name is Isabelle, but you can call me Izzy."

"What do you want with me?" He asked.

"Oh Simon, we just want to talk." Izzy said.

"How do you know my name?" He asked.

"From your friends. The ones you were with the other day." Izzy said.

"I knew I wasn't going crazy." He said. He looked up and grabbed a random girls arm. "You see them right?" He asked her. She looked at us and than yanked her arm away from him.

"Get your hands off me you creep." She said as she walked away.

"I see you're a hit with all the ladies." I teased and he glared at me.

"At least I'd be faithful. What are you? The younger version of Hugh Hefner?" He asked.

"Hugh who?" I asked. "And I'll have you know, I've been in a committed relationship for almost 3 years." I retorted.

"How much did you pay her?" He said and I growled when Clary put her hand on my thigh and calmed me down.

"He didn't pay me anything." Clary said and he looked at her.

"You're his girlfriend?" The boy asked.

"She just said that rat face." I spit back.

"Touchy subject." He said.

"I've been following you for a couple days." Izzy said.

"That's not alarming in any way." He said.

"You're friends think you're crazy, and talking to trees." Izzy said back. "Don't piss me off, I can make it much worse for you."

"I'd listen to her dude." Alec said. "My sister can be scary sometimes."

"You aren't crazy, but you friends couldn't see us that day." Izzy explained.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Clary, Jace, Alec and I are a different race." Izzy said. "We're Shadowhunters."

"Shadow what?" Simon asked.

"Shadowhunters." I said. "We kill demons and protect mundanes from the downworld."

"You sound like a mega fan of same twisted game of World of Warcraft." The kid said.

"We don't know what you're talking about." Clary said, and I laughed.

"That makes two of us." Simon said.

"You have the sight." Alec said. "When we are glamoured nobody can see us, except for those with the sight. That includes you."

"So you're saying that demons exist?" Simon asked.

"All the fairytales are true." I said and he looked at me. "Werewolves vampires, warlocks, faeries." I said. "They are all real."

"You're trying to tell me that warlocks are real?" Simon asked and we nodded. "You guys are the crazy ones."

"We aren't lying." Clary said.

"What's next? The zombie apocalypse?" He asked.

"Don't be ridiculous." Izzy scoffed. "Zombies aren't real."

"I'm losing my mind." He said and I shook my head.

"We can show you." Izzy said. "Just come with us."

"You aren't going to kill me right?" Simon asked.

"That would be against the accords." I said.

"The what?" He asked.

"Just come with us mundane." I said as I stood up. I grabbed Clary's hand and we made our way out of the coffee shop. We were walking back to the institute when we heard Simon's name being called. We turned around and there were his friends from the other day.

"Who are these people Simon?" The one asked.

"Oh, now you see them?" Simon said and they looked confused.

"Yea, and there is no way you got two hot girls to be your friends." The one said and I pulled Clary closer to me.

"Our parents are old friends, and we just moved to the city and they wanted us to get acquainted with Simon. You know, to have a friend." Izzy said in that voice she uses to manipulate boys.

"Uh, sure." The one said. "My name is Eric, and this is Kirk, in case you want more familiar faces." She tried to flirt but it just didn't work for him.

"No thanks." Izzy said and they looked stunned which made us laugh. "Come on Simon." Izzy said as she linked arms with him and pulled him away from his gaping friends.

"I'm never going to hear the end of that you know." Simon said and Izzy laughed.

"Don't worry about them." Izzy said as she stopped in front of the institute.

"You brought me to an abandoned church?" Simon said and Izzy shook her head.

"Concentrate Simon." Izzy said and Simon nodded. He started focusing on the building and his face changed from concentration to awe.

"Oh my god." He said and we all smiled.

"Welcome to the rest of your life Simon." Izzy said. we all made our way into the institute. Izzy took it upon herself to show Simon around and explain everything to him, which I was thankful for because I didn't want to spend another second with him. Clary made a portal for Alec to go to Magnus and than that just left Clary and I.

"I don't know about you, but I could definitely go for a training session." She said and I smiled.

"You read my mind." I said and I took her hand in mine and made our way to the training room. The future was still unclear but as long as Clary and I were together, we would face the chaos head on, just like we always did.

Finished:

Thank you all,
