So, let's get back on track here with my original book!
Since I last left off, quite a lot has happened. Clary and Jace had made their way into Madame Dorthea's apartment, which looked just like Clary's. They talked to her about what had happened, and she told them that her mother was a witch. Jace said that was impossible, because witches were crossbreeds, which meant that they couldn't have children, ever. Madame Dorthea made them tea and sandwiches, and once they ate, Clary noticed a door. She knew that there couldn't possibly have been a way out of it, and though Jace and Madame Dorthea tried to stop her, she yanked it open and fell out. She landed in the grass, and Jace landed on top of her. She looked around, and immediately knew she was at Luke's house. Jace told Clary that they would go to wherever she was thinking about, but Clary swore she wasn't thinking of any place imparticular (sorry, IDK how to spell that word) Then, Jace thought that maybe Luke was the last one to go through the door, and that they should look around. They jumped over a bush, and who do they find? Not Luke, but Simon! He explained that he had been looking for Clary, and that when Luke said she went to visit family, he knew Luke was lying, because Clary didn't have any other family. They decided to go look in Luke's apartment. They went through the bookstore, and then into his house. When they got in there, they looked around, and Clary saw the fractured picture that she had dropped in the apartment. Just then, Luke and two strange men walked in. The three kids hid behind a screen that they were able to look out of, without being seen. The men started talking about things that only Jace was familiar with, and when they were gone, Jace told Clary that those were the men who murdered his father. Clary, Jace, and Simon went then to the Institute. When Jace found Isabelle, he informed her on what happened. Simon decided to stay with Isabelle while Clary and Jace went to Hodge. I left off just as they were entering Hodge's enormous greenhouse.

Connecting To My Life: I can't really say that I relate all too much to this book since most of it happens around things like 'magic' but when I read about Jace, Simon, and Clary hiding from the men, I remember hiding from people. My friends and I would always sneak around my house, going in and out of windows. We really liked spying on the grown-ups. One time, we were going through a window in my dining room, right when all the parents walked in! We had two choices, and had to think quick! We could go through the window, or stay outside. We decided to go in. We thought we were safe, but they kept coming in, and we had to hide under the table! It was a pretty scary moment because we didn't want to reveal ourselves by laughing or being seen. I thought of this when I was reading my book.
