This week I have made it to page 260, chapter 14 in my book City of Bones. After Clary discovers what had happened at her house, she goes back to the Institution where she had earlier woken up in after being attacked. She wants to learn what happened to her mother so she and Jace go to Luke’s house to investigate. Luke is Clary’s mom’s best friend and she almost considered him a father because hers died before she was born.
When they arrive they find Simon hiding in the bushes and they interrogate him to find out what he was doing. He told them he was worried because he hadn’t heard from Clary in almost a week and was told by Luke that she was visiting a sick aunt. Simon knew Clary didn’t have any other relatives so he wanted to see what Luke was hiding. He said that he caught Luke packing guns in a bag so they all went inside to see what was going on. When they get into the room where the bag was they hear the front door open so they all hide behind a screen. They listened as Luke talked to two people who turned out to be warlocks about how he thought Clary was dead from the demon that had earlier attacked her. They also talk about a “Mortal Cup” which is something that can create Shadowhunters.
Later, after they get out of the house they go to a club to find a man named Magnus Bane and find out what he knows about Clary and her mother. Before they leave Simon drinks a potion that turns him into a rat and Clary puts him in her bag. As she walks out the door she realizes that the bag was torn open and Simon was gone. They asked Magnus about it and he said he saw a vampire carry a rat out. I end here with them going into the vampire lair to find him.
