Ch. 1-surprise!

Clarry rushed to pandemonium where she knew Jace was currently at. She could feel that something was wrong in their relationship. He distanced himself at times and kissing her with earnest at other times. She consulted with Magnus, Isabelle and Simon about this.

"Jace has always been a bit difficult to be around. He better snap out of it soon! You have really blossomed Clary, with training and your growing self-confidence…he'll face my whip if he doesn't, foster brother or not!" Isabelle said while comforting Clary

"I second that Clary, I'll magic his balls in a twist so bad, he'd be begging for me to end it!" Magnus said as magic flew from his hands.

"Leopards can't lose their spots but you Clary are much more than an animal. You are a star, shining bright. I'll support you no matter what!" Simon smiled

"I really need to get this straightened out or it will drive me crazy! I won't be that nagging or jealous girlfriend! I'll see you guys later" Clary said as she whipped on her Betsy Johnson pink jacket and her Chanel purse.

The gang waved bye and decided to play some high-stakes poker.

Clary smoothly passed by Xavier, the bouncer of Pandemonium and walked inside the club. She looked around for five minutes before she needed to use the restroom. She went to the V.I.P. bathroom and gasped at what she saw. Jace with his pants down and pumping furiously into Aline of all people!

Clary quietly walked away without bothering the moaning couple and walked out the door. She felt numb inside but also didn't want to make a scene. None of the strangers needed to know her business or cheap entertainment!

Needing to be alone and collect her thoughts, Clary sent a text ton her friends, telling them she needed some time to think and reflect. They sent as text back saying to take her time. They didn't need to pry, she'd tell them on her own time.

With that resolve, she hailed a cab and went to her mother's house.

I hope that you guys enjoyed this story. It's a first for this franchise, I'm a lord a lord of the rings, and harry potter fan. I mostly write glee fan fics but I wanted to try this out. I want Clary to be strong, calm, intelligent and confident. Plz review!
