"Hey Clary?"
"Yes Jace?"She answered sleepily.
"Did I ever tell you about the time Izzy killed a demon just by using her cooking?" Jace asked. They were sitting in a circle, telling each other bone chilling stories about demon killing. Alec suppressed a shudder and Izzy hit both him and Jace with a very heavy looking book. Simon stayed quiet in the background, trying not to burst out laughing.
"Ow, right, now I`m definitely telling her."Jace laughed rubbing the back of his head.
-11 months ago-
As Izzy poured the steaming soup into a travel mug. She thought lovingly of Simon. He promised to try her famous mushroom soup. She decided to sweeten it by adding sugar. Little did she know that it was actually salt. Looking down at her watch she realized that she was late and ran all the way to Taki`s.
The demon was freezing outside, when he`d knocked out the mundane, he didn`t expect to freeze his butt off waiting for the Shadowhunter, only to kill her. After all, she had killed all of his friends. She showed up late, wheezing.
"Sorry Si, lost track of time..."She rambled on for about five minutes until she noticed demon Simon shivering uncontrollably.
"Here, I made it for you." She said proudly. She handed him a steaming cup of brown looking sludge. She looked up expectantly at him.
"Go on Si, don`t be scared."She teased him. Scared that she might become suspicious, he downed the sludge in one. It was horrible. If this was what mundane food tasted like, he might as well kill himself. He was so preoccupied with trying to throw it up that he didn`t notice that he let his disguise slip.
"Demon!"She hissed. Her whip slid itself away from her wrist and was ready to strike him when he folded up on himself. Shocked, Izzy remembered when Hodge told her about the dangers of salt top demons. So it wasn`t sugar, she thought.
"Man I really need to label the food."She said to herself. Now all she had to do was find Simon.
-Present Day-
Everyone's laughter (excluding Izzy and Simon) could be heard a mile away. Simon looked horrified and Izzy just looked embarrassed.
"Why did I even tell you that story?"She asked Jace confusedly.
"Three words Izzy, 'Truth or Dare'."Jace replied between fits of heavy laughter.
"I don`t remember any of that."Simon said "Getting attacked I mean."Simon said. A confused expression was on his face. Clary laughed more at his dumbfounded expression.
"Okay," Jace continued "what other stories are there?"...
This was a story that has been in the back of my mind for ages. Thanks for reading!
