Clary's POV

I walked into the kitchen and squeaked in surprise when Jace grabbed me around the waist and pulled me in between his legs where he was sitting on the counter. He turned me around, and pulled at the tie in my hair,
"Wait!" I gasped, reaching back, but he caught my wrists in one of his hands and pulled them behind my back before wrapping his legs around me, pinning them there,
"Ah, ah, ah." He tsked.
He began to pull at my hair tie again with his fingers until it snapped and my hair fell around my shoulders.
"Jaaaace," I groaned, "I just put that up, you know!"
"I like it down." He said, unwrapping his legs, freeing my arms.
"You're hopeless." I sighed and leaned back and rest my head on his chest, closing my eyes. He wrapped his arms around me, and let out a breath into my hair.
"Young love." Alec sighed.
"You're only a year older than me!" Jace argued, and Alec laughed.
Isabelle walked into the kitchen then, and things quieted.
I opened my eyes and looked over at her, "You look pretty."
She smiled evilly, "Oh no…" I whispered.
"Oh yes." She said, "Your turn."
"Isn't this good enough?" I protested, referring to my jeans and black v-neck. "It's just Pandemonium." Isabelle walked into the room to stand in front of me, "We're fishing Clary, I think we have this conversation every time we go."
"Yeah, but this time, I really don't want to move."
"You're absolutely welcome to change in here. I don't think Jace would mind, and Alec has a boyfriend."
Jace laughed. "She's right. I definitely wouldn't mind."
"Jace!" I whined, "You're supposed to be on my side!"
"I'm too scared of Isabelle." He said sarcastically, hopping down from the counter.
I just barely managed to grab my bottle of water as Izzy grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the door. Jace swatted me with a spoon he'd picked up, as we ran past.
"Ow!" I protested, throwing my hand behind me and I heard them laugh.
"Good luck, Clary…" Alec said, smiling.
~*~*~

Isabelle shut the door to her bedroom and turned and looked at me, she cocked her head to the side, then turned back and locked it.
I sighed, "What do you think I'm gonna do? Make a run for it?"
"I wouldn't put it past you." She smiled. "I have an idea."
My eyes widened, but I stayed silent.
"Come." She said, grabbing my wrist and dragging me towards her vanity.
"Any questions?" She asked.
"Believe me." I breathed, "I know better than to ask questions, by now."
"No kidding, it's only been – what? A year?"
I nodded, and she smiled, covering the mirror,
"That's not a good sign." I sighed.

Isabelle worked like a wizard. First, she straightened my hair, then applied light make up, before running off to her closet.
When she came back, she handed me a green…shirt? I looked up at her, and she smiled,
"Just put it on." She said.
"It's so short."
"It'll go down to at least mid-thigh, and I'll give you fishnets."
I nearly protested, but she cut me off, "It'll make Jace wild."
"Why does that matter?" I squeaked.
"Oh come on Clary, it doesn't take a genius to know that you and Jace have done the dirty by now."
I choked on my water I'd just taken a sip of, "Izzy!"
"Believe me you won't regret this." She said, thoughtfully, "Well… That is, if he doesn't drag you up here by your arm to make you change."
I looked at her incredulously, "I don't think he would do that."
She nodded, "Yeah, you're right, he's more of a throw you over the shoulder, strip you down himself kind of guy."
My eyes widened, "I think you're wanting to get me into trouble."
She smiled mischievously, "Maybe just a little bit," She said, pinching her fingers close together and winking at me.
I sighed, and put my hand out, and she smiled victoriously before handing the green fabric over to me.
I rolled my eyes and walked into her adjoining bathroom.
I refused to look in the mirror as I got dressed.
When I walked out and met Izzy, she smiled, "Amazing! Here." She handed me my knives, and a sheath to put two in on the inside of my thigh. She handed me a pair of boots, and I slid one into the pocket on the inside.
"Stele." She smiled, handing me the one my mother had given me, I quickly marked myself, then I slid it into the center band of my bra.
"You have to look at yourself." She said, her eyes twinkling.
"I don't know if I want to." I breathed, she smiled and pulled the blanket off the mirror.
I had to admit…I looked pretty hot. The dress reached mid-thigh, as she'd said it would. It was tight and hugged me in all the right places. Isabelle stood beside me in a silver mini dress, they weren't too showy, but they were definitely attention grabbing.
We looked stunning, but the dresses also allowed us to move around.
"The boot heels are short, can you do your little gymnastics things?"
(Yes, I gave Clary skills she didn't have in the book.)
I laughed, I had learned in the past year to use my small frame and build to my advantage. I also had become really good at knife throwing.
I backed up slightly from the mirror, and carefully did a back flip to test my ability to move.
"Nope, we're good." I said, she handed me her stele and I traced a hiding rune onto my skin and my marks faded until they were clear, I took Isabelle's wrist in my hand and drew it onto the top of her hand and her markings did the same.
"Let's do this." She said, coiling her whip around her wrist, then walked towards the door.
...

We stepped out of the elevator into the entrance. Jace and Alec were talking, but they turned when we approached.
Jace's eyes widened, and he walked towards me, his eyes darkening, Alec only a step behind him.
"Oh hell." I breathed.
He wrapped his arm around my waist, his hand resting on the small of my back, and he pulled me towards him. I saw Alec out of the corner of my eyes, grab Isabelle's wrist and pull her off to the side. Then, Jace's lips were at my ear,
"Do you know how exposed you are in that dress?"
I smiled innocently, and tried to pull away, but he kept me exactly where I was,
"It's not that bad." I said quietly.
"I'm extremely close to dragging you up to my room and making you change."
"You couldn't make me."
"Are you sure of that?" He whispered, and I sucked in a deep breath.
I closed my eyes, and stepped onto my tiptoes. I caught him by surprise, when I wrapped my arms around his neck,
"I'm yours." I whispered. His muscles slackened after a few seconds, and he let me go.
He nodded, "Alright."
Isabelle stepped away from Alec, victoriously, and I nodded.
"Yes!" She said, and I followed her out the door.
~*~*~

Isabelle and I walked into Pandemonium and I sighed at its familiarity. We walked around the walls first, looking for a likely 'volunteer.'
"Hey there Cutie." A mundane guy said beside me, catching me around the waist, and putting my back to the wall.
I sighed, unsurprised, especially in this outfit.
"Hi."
"How are you tonight?" He asked, I nearly answered, but when his hands found my stomach and began to roam downwards, I heard Jace's protective warning in my ear bud.
Clary, get him off of you.
"Way ahead of you." I breathed.
The man's head cocked to the side, "Are you now?"
He groped me suddenly, and I slapped him hard enough to make him stumble to the side slightly.
Jace stay here, they can handle themselves. I heard Alec.
Did you see what he just did to her? Only I touch those parts of her.-Jace
"Jace!" I squeaked
"Whoa, feisty aren't we?" The guy asked, turning back to me, catching my attention again.
Isabelle tapped on his shoulder, and he turned, I met her eyes and she kneed him, I kicked him in the back of his knee, and she shoved him backwards.
I kneeled down so that I was eye to eye with him, where he was laying on the ground.
"Just a little bit." I said and stood back up, walking with Isabelle into the crowd, as he rolled on the ground.
"Did you know Jace could get jealous?" I taunted, "I could use that to my advantage."
Isabelle smirked and I heard Alec laugh, then Jace trying to hide his amusement,
Watch it Fray.
"I completely agree." Isabelle replied as if we hadn't heard him.
"This'll be fun!"
"You two are awfully beautiful." We heard behind us. Izzy and I turned and met a pair of eyes that were a little too bright. Contacts.
"You aren't too bad yourself." Isabelle replied and I smiled, and reached out running my hand along the cheek of the one in front of me.
I'm going to hurt her when we get home. I shivered at Jace's voice and Isabelle smirked.
"I'm Michael." The man said, putting his hand over mine.
"And I'm Kyle." The other said, "Wanna go for a ride?" It took everything in me not to laugh when Jace mocked him.
Isabelle smiled sweetly, "Really?"
"Sure. Come on." The one in front of me took my hand and lead me towards the door, and I heard Izzy talking with Kyle behind us.
We walked out the doors, and they took our hands, I met Isabelle's eyes and smiled as they lead us to an alley.
"Your car is in the alley?" I asked softly.
"It offers more privacy." Kyle said, his fangs faintly glimmering.
We walked in with them, and they stopped, we turned and faced them.
"Your car's not really here, is it?" Isabelle asked quietly.
"Give it up shadow hunter. We're not as stupid as you think."
Isabelle straightened and I tensed, another two stepped in behind them, and it was far from the two we wanted it to be.
"Jace, Alec?" I asked hoping for a reply, but there was none.
My eyes flashed to Michael's, "What have you done?"
"Nothing. They're just a little distracted. Cooperate and they'll be fine."
I looked to Isabelle, and she let out a breath,
"What do you want?"
She reached behind her, and pressed a button on her cell phone.
"They'll be coming soon." She said, looking to me. I nodded, because all it took was one press on that button and Maryse and Robert would be here when they could be. I pressed mine as well when the vamps weren't looking so that we were traceable.
"We already told you. They won't be going anywhere, unless you cooperate." Kyle snarled, thinking we were talking about Jace and Alec.
"What do you want from us?" I asked.
Michael stepped close to me, so that he was nearly touching, and Isabelle's hand twitched towards her whip.
"It's not us that wants something from you."
He grabbed my arm, and Kyle's hand lashed out in Isabelle's direction and caught her on the side of the head,
"Izzy!" I cried as she fell into Kyle's arms. He smiled and picked her up, and Michael grabbed me by my upper arm.
This wasn't good.
