I know that there's a lot of these types of stories, but please give mine a shot!

This is my first fanfiction, so leave a review to let me know how I'm doing!

Set after CoFH.


Clary POV

Everything was great. My mom and Luke had gotten married. Valentine and Sebastian were both gone. Life couldn't have been better. Now, instead of being worried about being killed 24/7, I have to worry about training, 24/7.

According to Jace, it took 5 years of grueling, back-breaking training to become a full shadowhunter. So, I worked hard. Jace was usually my teacher (he refused to let anybody else hurt me), and even sometimes Isabelle. Alec was usually over at Magnus's house, and Maryse was always in Idris nowadays.

I had so much to catch up on. Most shadowhunter children start their training at 5, but because of everything my mother did to me, I was a late bloomer (16 years to be exact). I was only 6 months into my training, but already I was noticing differences to my body.

My stick skinny arms were now toned, and you could see my muscles rippling underneath. When I wore sports bras, you could see the outline of my six pack of abs. Even my breasts, which were flat as a board before, are now plumper and fuller (I had the average sized boobs of a high schooler!). And, don't even get me started on my booty!

As of this time, I was at Jave Jones, picking up a large black coffee for me, and a medium sized mango smoothie for Jace. I was planning on surprising him.

I had been gone for 3 weeks, taking lessons from Brother Zachariah and the other Silent Brothers in Alicante, learning how to control my power over runes. I wasn't allowed any outside contact whatsoever. As I made my way down to the Institute, I considered telling Simon about my return. But, I thought against it. He was probably off in some corner feeding on a poor animal. (A/N I know at the end of CoFH, Simon becomes a shadowhunter to gain his memories back again, but let's pretend he's still a vampire ;D)

Bang Bang Bang! Went the brass door knocker on the door of the huge Institute. I knocked again, but still no answer. Right as I was about to knock a third time, the door swung open, followed by a high pitched squeal. Isabelle bear hugged me and started saying how happy she was to see me.

Over the past year, after we discovered I'm Valentine's daughter, we've grown pretty close. Almost sisters. "Clary! When did you get back? Oh my God, how were the Alicante boys? Were any of them hot?" Isabelle fired so many questions at me.

"Woah woah woah! Stop asking so many questions Isabelle! For you, yes, they were pretty cute. For me, no one is as hot as Jace." I laughed.

"Oh gag me now please…" she moaned. "Follow me! Everyone will be so excited to see that you're back again! Especially Jace-!" when Izzy said Jace's name, for a fraction of a second, I thought I saw a look of complete horror on her face as she looked at the elevator.

But, as quickly as it came, it was gone.

"Oh! Speaking of Jace, where is he? I planned to surprise him with his favorite smoothie…" I ask.

"Uh… let's get you to your room! I bet you're super excited to see your room again!" Izzy said, a bit too enthusiastically.

I decided to ignore the fact that she completely dodged my question, and stepped into the elevator with her. We lapsed into a comfortable silence for a few minutes, until we reached the dormitory floor. We raced to my room where I put down the drinks, then threw myself on my bed. Izzy and I both talked for a good 15 minutes before I finally remembered about Jace.

"Ugh, I completely forgot to surprise Jace! I'll be right back Izzy, I'm gonna bring him his smoothie." I say quickly.

Isabelle launches herself off the bed and into the doorframe, effectively blocking me. "NO! I mean, we should stay here, and just chat about, things...yeah, things!" she replies hastily.

"Very funny Izzy," I drawl "but I really should go see my boyfriend now." Thanks to my tiny body, I managed to sneak under her arm and sprint down the hall towards Jace's room, Izzy hot on my tail. As I'm being chased by Isabelle with the drinks in my hand, I see Alec in the weapons room, cleaning some seraph blades. Oh, that's where he is, I think absentmindedly.

I'm about 2 feet away from the door when Isabelle tackles me. "Clare! Please, whatever you do, don't go in there!" she screams. For a few minutes, everything is silent, me not believing what Izzy is saying. My best friend, not letting me see my boyfriend. I'm about to scream right back when I start hearing low moans from inside Jace's room.

I kick Izzy off of me, and open Jace's door open a crack. "Clare, I'm so sorry…" Izzy says tearfully. What I see inside of Jace's room absolutely breaks my into a million little pieces...

Hey guys! I know this is really short, and I promise the next one will be WAY longer, BUT, I will only update when I get reviews! The more reviews and follows I get, the faster I'll update!

Until then, keep bakin'!
