Infernal Future (A Mortal Instruments and Infernal devices FF)

Chapter 3

They found themselves walking for around an hour, before they came upon a park where Jessamine insisted on resting on one of the benches. The rest of them agreed very willingly, for them to were a bit tired from their walk around the new, bright city.

They didn't know where they were going, but they were hoping that something will lead them towards anything helpful.

They had been at the park for what seemed like ten minutes, when a petit girl approached them.

"Bonjour, mes Amis êtes-vous par chance perdu? Vous regarde comme tu save pas ou vous allez," she said.

Before anyone could reply, Jessamine busted out, "I do NOT speak; Spanish-or whatever that happened to be . . . So please and I mean please just speak ENGLISH for once!" She looked outraged at the poor girl.

"I'm sorry, it's just, with what you're wearing and all- look I'm sorry, it's just that there is a French play festival and they have actors and actresses flying in from Paris. I just assumed that you were some of them because some of the plays are placed in the late 18 hundreds and that is what they wore according to my history teacher in school. Anyways let me rephrase what I said, are you guys by any chance lost? You look like you don't know where you're going." She said quickly defending herself by putting her hands up in a surrender motion.

"Well we don't need help from a mundane, you can just-" Will started only to be cut off by Charlotte.

"William," she says in a warning tone. She moved forward, making Henry release his comforting grip on her.

The young girl, who Charlotte assumed to be around fourteen, smiled at Will with a gleam in her eyes that made you wonder what she could possibly be thinking. She took a glance at everyone else, but the gleaming looked disappeared, only to be masked by a smile saying I know something about you. Her gaze lingered on Jem than shoot back to Will. "Well, what else would I expect from Shadowhunters like you, can't let the poor Mundie help guide you around?" She said, with a devilish expression. "Try me," she stated after a minute or two.

Everyone was shocked that she knew what they were, it made them question if she was really a Mundane at all. She couldn't have been a Faerie or Vampire that much was obvious, she wouldn't be out in the sun if she sucked blood. Everyone remained silent, everyone except Jessamine, she wasn't paying attention to any of it.

"Great, she knows about Shadowhunters," She said clearly not taking any of this in. "Henry I would like to get home sometime soon." She continued to complain. After a while though, Will just zoned her out, as did Jem and surely Henry.

"I say, what do we have to lose?" Henry said, moving back up to Charlotte and put his arm around her. Even though he usually wouldn't he reminded himself that they weren't in their time anymore and he had a feeling the same etiquette does not apply here. She let him probably thinking the same thing as he. He gently pulled her towards him, in a slight loving way so she could rest her head on him lightly.

"I though you would have learned not to say that by now, Henry," Jem spoke for the first time in a bit. He turned from Henry to the girl in front of him. "Do you by any chance know someone who can help us?"

She perked up as he spoke to her and she practically blurted out, "Yes, the High Warlock of Brooklyn . . . Magnus Bane! He will surely be able to help." She said this all the while not looking away from Jem.

"Magnus Bane? As in the Warlock?" Henry said, only after realizing that it must have been him, what other Warlock- High Warlock of Brooklyn, that is- is there named 'Magnus Bane' out there somewhere in the world?

"Well Duh, why else would I say High Warlock of Brooklyn if he was a vamp or something?" She stated getting more confident, with every word. "I actually know where he lives to, if you don't mind a Mundane like me guiding you through New York that is," The last part directed at Will, who had been abnormally silent for his usual. But sure enough he snorted and rolled his eyes.

Charlotte took her eyes off of Henry and looked at the girl once more, this time with a confused gaze. "How do you know about all this? And what year is it? Also what happens to be your name?"

The girl smiled at Charlottes questions. "It's 2010 and you're in New York, I'm Selena Clayre. As to how I know about your world, well let's just state that not everything is as it seems."

"Well isn't this amazing!" Jessamine cried, sarcasm leaking everywhere from her voice. But Will couldn't help but agree, this will be interesting. His heart pounded in thrill and excitement. There was something off about this girl and he wanted to find out what that thing happened to be. He was certain she had some big secret-but then again doesn't everyone- and because of that she could not be trusted. On the other hand though she was their only hope, their unfaithful hope.

It's a little longer than the others, and I hoped you like it. I'm going to try to update sooner with chapters over 1,000 words but I can only do so much. I might have found a way though to write the story on my phone and just e-mail it to the computer to update it.

Sorry about the French, since I speak that language I was tempted to put it in the chapter but here is the rough translation on what Selena said,

Bonjour, mes Amis êtes-vous par chance perdu? Vous regarde comme tu save pas ou vous allez :

Hello my freinds are you by any chance lost? You look like you don't know where you're going.

Sorry for any grammar mistakes I didn't do a good look over since it was kind of late when I wrote this and I wanted to update it tonight, So point out any mistakes and I will fix them.

Please Please Please comment and fan and review and vote and all that jazz because it makes me want to update!
