June 2nd-Evening (Phone)

[morethan084]

[With everything that's gone as of late, Skye is struggling with the fact that her mother had been in trouble with the law. She was also struggling to not act like she wasn't as affected by this as she was, considering no one around here knew they were related. Much less mother and daughter.

She was desperate now though and it was hard to keep the worry out of her voice.]

Has anyone seen Jiaying?

[Clary is trying to forget that party but she can understand Skye's worry. People going missing, weird happenings, suit cases and strange journals, the trackers and memories that don't properly align as they should: maybe they should all be worrying.]

Her things are here right? She didn't pack and leave? Do you think something happened?

[The questions might not have been helpful but it feels like she was doing something more than just talking on the phone about what they don't know.]

[Pushing the palm of her hand against her forehead, Skye let some of the weight of her head lean into her hand as she leaned forward.]

No. Everything is still here.

[Of course something happened. Whether by accident or not, people are dead or hurt because of her mother.]

What if someone was getting their revenge?

[babyhunter]

I... don't know.

[Clary hadn't actually thought of that. The event had been jarring but she'd come out of it okay. The worst part about it is that she had to accept the fact that there is something strange about her, that Alec was right; she was an angel. Or maybe something else that didn't sound too cheesy.]

I'll keep a look out. I'm not sure what else to do. It's a small town though. She can't be lost for long.

[As she says that she thinks about the janitor and sighs.]

I wish I could help more.

[morethan084]

[That's just it. It's a small town, and the fact that she hasn't heard anything about her disappearance is worrying. Closing her eyes, Skye bit her lower lip before speaking up again.]

Yeah. I know that feeling.

[Wanting to help. She couldn't save those people, and she can't seem to protect her mother either.]

Thanks for responding anyway, and for offering to keep an eye out for her.

[Considering she had been at the party when everything went down. Skye was sure a lot of people didn't think she was worth looking for right now. That whatever happened to her is something she deserved.]

[babyhunter]

No problem.

[Clary’s voice doesn’t sound very convincing but there is a firmness to it. The sort of stubborn determination that you wanted to put faith in, even when you knew it was hopeless.]

If you need anything let me know. Even if I can’t find her. I don’t think anyone should be alone.

[With that Clary feels that she’s said all she can. She doesn’t like the feeling that’s gathered in her chest. The fact that she has no answers for the part or for the woman’s disappearance. Everything is starting to weigh on her and it’s making her feels lost and restless.]

[morethan084]

Thanks.

[Skye is just glad this is all being talked about over the phone rather than in person. She's a pretty good liar, but trying to pretend this isn't as personal as it really is, is hard. Especially when this woman, who had been affected by this, is offering help.]
