Chapter One

Clary POV:

Today was like any other day, there were rumors of demon activity at Pandemonium and we were getting ready to go. We had already agreed that I was going to be the bait, and of course Jace wasn't okay with that. Izzy and I had frequently switched between who was the bait.

"Alright Izzy, you have free range over me tonight, but please, make me look decent, not too slutty." I didn't mind Izzy playing dress up on me when I was the bait, cause Izzy knew how to attract men. Especially demons.

"I've never made you look too slutty. Plus, demons are attracted to skin, so you'll be showing a lot of it tonight."

It took about two hours for Izzy to get me ready. Izzy had sure worked her magic on me tonight. I was in a skin tight black dress that had the back completely cut out, she had given me a smoky eye, and full red lips. My heels were about 6 inches high and bright red to match my lips. To top it all off, she gave me some fishnets. I looked like a high-class hooker, but that's what these demons liked.

"Jace is going to have a heart attack when he sees you." Izzy always tried to make me look hot enough that even Jace was speechless, and she always succeeded.

"Come on Iz, if we make them wait any longer, they are going to leave without us!" I grab her hand and drag her away from the mirror.

Jace POV:

Alec, and I were waiting for Izzy and Clary to be done getting ready. They always took super long, and tonight was no different. Finally we hear clicking, I look up and immediately suck in a deep breath. Clary looked stunning, but she looked like a total badass too. My two favorite combinations.

"Wow." Was all I was able to say out loud, my words were failing me.

"I told you he'd be speechless. Come on, let's get this over with." Izzy proceeded out of the door, I still couldn't take my eyes off Clary. I was not going to enjoy tonight.

We got to the club and Izzy and Clary broke off from Alec and I. We circled the room to make sure there wasn't anymore than two demons. It was Clary's turn to get them both distracted enough. I didn't like it, having a demons hands all over her, it made me sick.

Clary POV:

Izzy and I made our way onto the dance floor. I could sense the demons. There were two of them. The one made its way over to me, I let him dance with me. I looked over his shoulder and locked eyes with Jace. I knew this made him uncomfortable, but I never did anything that made him mad. I would never kiss my target, I would flirt religiously until they couldn't take it anymore and lead me back to the closet. Then I would strike. Tonight was no different, except I had to get two targets to the back room.

After about 10 minutes I caught the other demons attention. He had made his way over to me as well. He whispered in my ear if I wouldn't mind a party in the back room with him and his friend. I giggled, and agreed. He grabbed my hand, and I grabbed the other demons and we made our way to the back room. I looked behind me and locked eyes with Izzy. She made her way over to Jace and Alec to let them know what was going on.

We made it to the back room and they started to corner me. I knew that this was going to happen now, I didn't have time to wait for back up. I hissed and my blade lit up. They made their way over to me, I had grabbed the dagger from my boot and slashed the one demons throat. The other one wasn't far behind him as I plunged the blade through his torso. He let out a loud shriek. At this moment the door flew open. Wide-eyed stood Izzy, Alec, and Jace. I put my dagger back into my book and walked over to them. I kissed Jace on the cheek.

"Lets get out of here." I whispered and we turned around and made our way out of the club.

"What happened back there Clary?" Izzy kept asking as we made our way back to the Institute.

"We got back there and they started to corner me. I didn't have time to wait for you guys so I decided to take care of it myself."

"Badass." Was her only response.

We got back to the Institute and Jace and I made our way up to his room. I was ready for bed. We were only gone for a couple hours but keeping up this attitude was exhausting and fighting two demons by myself was really tiring.

"God I can't wait to get out of this dress." I was tugging at the hem. I pulled off being confident at the club but once we got back I felt more uncomfortable than ever.

"Why? You look great." I knew Jace liked when I dressed like this, but the truth is, I would much rather be in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt than a dress.

"I'm going to go change. I'll be right back." I kissed him on the cheek and left to get my things from Izzy's room. I had changed into a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. I had removed all my make up and put my hair up into a messy bun. When I got back to Jace's room he was on the bed in shorts and no shirt. One of my favorite sights to see.

"Ah, now there is the Clary that I know and love." He pulled me on the bed and kissed me.

"I thought you liked me better in that dress." I teased.

"This is the Clary that I fell in love with. The way you looked tonight was sexy, but this Clary right here" he gestured to me "is the most beautiful girl in the world."

"That might be the sweetest thing you've ever said to me." He knew exactly what to say to make my heart race. We got in bed and drifted into a peaceful sleep.
