3rd Post

In the third section of my reading Clary finishes her dicussion with Jace. Jace and Clary find this mark on her right arm, like Shadowhunters have. Jace has one on his left because he is left-handed. Jace is also a Shadowhunter, and what they do is hunt demons. Jace has to take Clary to the Institute to meet Hodge, Jace's tutor, because she knows the truth. Mythical creature such as vampires and zombies do exist. Clary receives a frantic call from her mother telling her to go to Simon's house and alert Luke that she's been found. Clary goes towards home anyway. Their apartment was a total mess. Then there was this creature in her apartment that looked like a mix of "an alligator and a centipede"-page 50. It was the thing making the noise in the background of the phone call. It attacked Clary and she made it bite down on the Sensor she got off of Jace. When she went to run away she got knocked out by an object. When she wakes up Jace is there. She learns the creature was an Eidolon demon, specifically a Ravener. If she doesn't get immediate help she will die because of the Ravener poison. Clary sees her battered mother when she wakes up for the second time after passing out again, she was out for three days. In that time, Clary got help. Clary finds out from Isabelle that Jace's parents are both dead.

There was a lot of information in these twenty pages. I thought it got the most intense at two points in these twenty pages. One point was when Clary received that phone call from her mother. I got very nervous for Clary and was very, very anxious to find out what happened. The other point that I thought was very intense was when Clary got home and was attacked by the Ravener. I really felt at that point that she might die. I found it very interesting that in this book, not only do these Shadowhunters and demons exist, but also vampires and zombies and such exist as well. I am very anxious to see what happens to Clary's mother. I am also questioning whether Luke is Clary's mother's boyfriend or not. This story is really starting to pick up the pace and I'm enjoying it a lot. I didn't really think that this story was going to be this event filled, but that's fine because I don't mind the extra action. I am really enjoying this story and I am very, very anxious to see what happens to the characters next. I have a prediction for one of the characters. I think that Clary will join the Shadowhunters and hunt down the demons with them.
