Cassandra Clare own Jace, Clary and them. I own all OC's I make :)

'Breathing...The pain...I'll kill him...' His mind slowly slogged through these words. They floated in his thoughts as aimlessly as his body did upon the river's water.

He drew in a shaking breath, a scowl pulling his split lip downward. 'How could I have lost to Angel Boy? He's nothing. I'm everything.'

More time passed. The light that had shine through his closed eyelids began to diminish. 'I'll die from the cold and blood loss. A coward's death.'

His back hit something hard and packed. Footsteps, lithe and soft, came toward him.

"By the Angel." A tinney voice sounded. He felt warmth, a hand, brush his forehead and his eyelids fluttered open.

A young woman, no more than 17, kneeled above him. Her dark brown hair was tied back, a few messy strands framing her heart shaped face. Light blue eyes, almost silver in the moonlight, shone with concern. She was plain, yet beautiful to his eyes. She could be useful unto him.

She brought a stele out from the waistband of her shift dress and quickly drew Irazte's around his wounds, mumuring words of comfort that were of no worth to him. The pain leaked away slowly as each mark was drawn. He knew his strength was still weak for any kind of battle yet a plan, a revenge, took hold of his thoughts.

It wasn't until the young woman offered him place in her home while he recovered did he come back to reality.

He stood, taking the hand she held out to steady himself, and flashing one of the charming smiles his father had taught him. She seemed appeased by his beauty and clutched his hand tighter as she led him to her quaint cabin a little way off.

They reached the door and he turned to her, asking her name.

"Nica. And yours?"

He grinned once more and leaned down, brushing his lips against her's in a lustful movement. He knew how to entice a woman and he would need what her nature could supply if he was to accomplish his revenge on the Angel Boy.

"Jonathan." He whispered, leading her into the home.

The first chapter of my new MI story. What do you think so far. I've got lots more coming :) Figured it was time to make another mortal instruments story.
