diclamer:.....i only own what i made up....the rest is not mine......
Jace paced through the greenhouse impatiently. on any other day the greenhouse would have helped him relax, but today was diferent. the reminer of Idris only made him more nervouse. he sighed and raked his hands through his hair. he checked the time for the twentieth time that hour and let out a long breath. 'she's late' he thought for the hundreth time since he last checked the time.
he was waiting for an old friend from Idris who he hadnt seen since they had both been small children. she, her twin brother and he had all lived together with his father. 'my father...' he thought, wondering how screwed up valentine had made angel and malachi. he shook his head to clear the thought and began pacing pacing again.
Angel, the girl he was waiting for would be staying at the new york institue with him and the lightwoods. he wondered to himself how much she would have changed since they were last together.
he sighed again, and checked for the time. '6:45'. he gave upon pacing and sat on the small wooden bench under a large flowereing plant. 'she's really late' he leaned back against the bench and closed his eyes.
he thought back to when he had last seen her and her brother. it was a sad day, just after his fathers funeral. 'his fake funeral' he reminded himself. he was going to be leaving Idris to stay with the lightwoods, while they where going to the london institute, to stay with the cormiks.
the sky was a hazy gray, witha light breeze blowing her hair around her face. she had been crying, he remembered, and the tears blew away on the wind. "i'll miss you jace" she had said in her high bell voice. he had hugged her one last time and waved as malachi pulled her to their chaperone for the trip.
he was brought out of the sad memory by a light knocking on the door. he opened his eyes and sat up strait, looking to the door. it was pushed open gently and he saw someones blonde hair over the taller plants. "jace?" a sweet bell chime voice called out. even though it had been years since they had spoke, he recognized her voice.
"Angel!" he called, a small smile spreading over his face.
he watched as the top of her head moved around the plants till she was in view of him. she was so familier yet so diferent from the last time he had seen her. for starters, she was no longer a child, but almost an adult like he was. she was taller, naturaly, but still shorter than he. she was maybe 5 foot , 3ish. she had an hourglass figure now but for the most part she was much the same.
her eyes were the same green he remembered. somehow a dark green, while still being very bright. her hair had lightened since they were kids, to a more white/gold, but it still had the same shine and fell in loose ringlets around her face and down her back as it always had. her skin was still a smooth milky white, almost like a porcalin doll.
she was wearing standard shadowhunter black, with a few splashes of silver here and there.
her boots came to just under her knees, black, of course, and lined with fur with silver straps criss crossing up the sides. she wore a pair of tripp black grommeted corset skinny jeans, tucked into her boots. the lacing up the side of her legs was the same silver on the boots. her shirt was a black bikini style that had and open back. it tied around her neck and back with silver ties, and the bottom was cut into pixi points over her hips. she had a pair of black heart shaped sunglasses resting in her hair.
he could see that she had peirced her belly button with a black bar going one way, x-crossed by a silver bar. she had silver hoops in each of her lobes, and he could just make out small silver studs above those.
she smiled when she saw him. she had the same bright smile he remembered, and it made him smile more.
"JACE!!!" she ran the rest of the way to him and threw her arms around his neck in a hug.
"it's so good to see you again! it's been far to long"
he wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her back. "it has been too long hasnt it." he said after he released her. she nodded, her curls bouncing slightly with the movement.
he took a step back and looked her over again. "you went punk"
she nodded and smiled. "yeah....i liked the look." she shrugged.
"it looks good on you" he smiled.
she blushed sightly and looked around at all the plants. "wow.....it's just like home in here."
"that was what hodge was going for." jace said, shoving his hands in his pockets. "how's london?"
"cold...." she laughed. he laughed with her and held out an arm for her to take, mocking formality.
"may i give you a tour my lady?" he said trying not to crack up.
she took his arm and grinned. "why of course..." they both cracked up laughing.
"actualy jace.....i was wondering if you knew any good places to eat. ive been dying for something deep fried and covered in greese. know anywhere?"
"that is sooo nasty" he grinned......"and yes i do......shall we?"
she nodded..."please"
he led her out of the green house and down to the library. "we're going to dinner" he said in passing to maryse lightwood. she waved absentmindedly, talking with her youngest son, max.
jace led angel out into the city, taking a few random seeming turns, until they stood infront of 'leo's chicken hut'. "how do some greesy as all hell chicken strips sound?"
angel smiled. "excelent" she walked in ahead of him and he paused for a moment. he could have swore he saw something flutter on her back. he shook his head. 'impossible.....' he thought and folowed her in, but he couldnt shake the feeling that he was missing something.
she turned to him. "can we order and go to a park.....it's so stuffy in here."
he smirked. "welcome to new york ange."
she rolled her eyes and turned back to the counter to order. when she moved he saw it again, then it hit him...'glamour.....she has a glamour on her back.' he decided what ever she was hiding, he shouldnt uncover it in a crouded restraunt.
"hey ange?.....i know a pretty a good park not to far from here."
she nodded and smiled."sounds great."
they waited for their order of spicy chicken strips and 2 pepsi's to be made, then they walked down to a smaller park and stuck out a semi private spot on the grass.
she pulled out the food and started setting it all up for them.
he focused on her back, trying to see through the strong glamour. layer by layer he broke through it until....he gasped.....
"angel......you have.....wings?" pale white wings where sitting on her shoulder blades. she had them folded up tightly close to her back, out of the way, but they where there. "when did.....?" he asked the shock of it clear in his voice.
she bowed her head. " a few years ago....." her voice was quiet. she tried to pull them in closer to her body, self conciensly.
he reached out to touch her shoulder....."wow......you must save ALOT on plane tickets."
