AN:/ Hello, I've been wanting write a Clace fanfic for a while but hadn't gotten the courage to, I've just started writing randomly and I really don't know where it will take me and or us if you like the story.

So I hope you like it and I apologize for a rocky start, I'm sure it will pick up if I continue to do it.
Clary Fray stood in the darkness, her green eyes peered around searching for something, someone her gaze stopped finding what she was looking for the golden ray of light farther away from her.
"Jace!" Clary screams. Clary takes off on the foot of her sneakers darting forward trying to reach him.
He turns her way, his golden eyes staring at her, Jace doesn't speak and Clary couldn't read what he was thinking and how he was feeling, he was empty.
"It's okay, Jace...I'm here, You don't even need to speak just know I"m here with you." Clary whispers. She leans in curling her arms around his neck resting against him.
Clary was caught off guard when he ripped her away from his warmth, she had a look of horror on her face. Jace's grip on hr was rough and it hurt but she didn't complain, she was just worried about the man.
"Jace..." Clary says softly.
"You know you can't do that, Clary. Everything died the moment Valentine told us we were related." Jace says.
"Jace, We're not related. It was all a lie to keep us apart...To keep us miserable, Sebastian's my brother." Clary says. "We can be together."
"I don't love you, Clary. I don't want you." He says harshly.
"You don't mean that...After everything we've been through, You couldn't mean that...You love me, Jace. And I love you." Clary replies.
"I only acted that way towards you because we needed the mortal cup." Jace answers coldly, he begins to walk away, he begins to fade away going deeper into the darkness.
"Jace!" Clary screams. "Jace, Don't leave me!" She cries, she felt her throat getting hoarse, tightening up until she couldn't scream.
Clary darted up in her bed seeing the morning sun seep through the curtains, she slows her breathing down back to normal as she realizes it was just a nightmare, she looks on her desk to her cell phone to see two new messages pop up on her screen.
One was from Jace and the other from good friend, Simon Lewis. Clary clicked on Simon's message first, it read.
"Clary, Been here since 10:00AM, You still coming to Cafe?" Simon texted.
Clary looked at the clock that read 12:10AM, She silently cursed herself and rushed out of bed gathering some decent clothes while checking the second message, Jace's read.
"Clary, Meet me at the Institute at 5:00PM." Jace texted.
It was short but knowing Jace, he was busy. After pulling on some clothes, she texted them both with a "Will be there." Clary grabbed a green hoodie from her closet and leaves her bedroom.
"Going out to see Jace are we?" Jocelyn says greeting her daughter.
"Actually, It's Simon, Mom." Clary replies. "And then I'm off to the Institute." She adds.
"Alright, Don't let Jace over work you now." Jocelyn responds, she regretted saying that the moment it slipped. Clary knew how embarrassed Jocelyn was for saying that, Clary only showed a small smile. "I mean with training, Dear." She adds.
"I know, Mom. Love you." Clary replies slipping out the front door on her way to the Cafe to meet with Simon, hopefully he was still hanging around.
Clary walked down the usual path to the Cafe, on the way she swore she felt like she was being followed, maybe it was a usual feeling from being a Shadowhunter, she glanced behind her just for caution, nothing was there. Clary continued her way letting the strange feeling fade. She smiled reaching the Cafe to see Simon was still inside, he was just occupied with his DS.
"Sorry, I'm super late." Clary apologized approaching Simon, she sits in front of him.
"Clarissa Fairchild, I can't believe you stood me up, I'm you're best friend, I deserve more respect than that." Simon says giving her some shit for being late, Clary smiled at him and rolled her eyes.
"Again, I apologize...I didn't get home until 1:00 last night, I was training with Jace." Clary answers.
"Sure..." Simon replies.
"It's true, Simon Lewis. Are you thinking dirty thoughts?" Clary questions.
"Ew, Gross. No never, I don't like the thought of him touching you." Simon replies.
"This just got awkward...How's your game?" Clary questions changing the subject.
"Horrible, I've played this while waiting for you and I'm still in the same spot." Simon answers, he closes his DS putting it aside so he can focus on his friend.
The waitress came to get their orders, Clary ordering coffee lots of sugar and no cream while Simon order his regular coffee and garlic bread.
Clary and Simon talk waiting for their order to arrive, Clary getting the feeling of eyes watching her once again, she felt as if there was breathing on her neck but if there was something supernatural around her she would have seen it. There was nothing around her, nothing stalking her. Clary figured she was being paranoid.
"Clary, Are you alright?" Simon questions.
"I had a nightmare last night, I think it's gotten me spooked today..." Clary says.
"Want to talk about it?" Simon asks curiously.
Clary sighs, getting it off her chest would help ease her mind. "It's silly...I dreamt I was surrounded by darkness and the light I found was Jace, I ran towards him but he wasn't my Jace...He was darker, he hated me and threw me aside walking into the darkness to get away from me."
"Knowing Jace, he would never leave you...He's way too attached." Simon says.
Clary blushes and pushes a fiery red wave behind her ear, she looks to the waitress to see she sat her coffee and Simon's order down on the table, she gave a smile and walked away.
"Are you still thinking of seeing Izzy?" Clary questions.
"I think so, I mean she scares me but she also fascinates me. She could possibly be my second chance at love since you didn't work out." Simon says.
"I'm glad you're getting over me, I'm sorry it didn't work out between us..." Clary says.
"Don't be sorry, You're my best friend, That's the greatest gift ever." Simon replies resting a hand on hers and smiling showing a fangy smile.
Clary wasted the day chilling with Simon at the Cafe and then at the park where they sat in swings just talking about how they're life had gone from normal to crazy. It was close to 5:00, Clary hugged her friend goodbye and ventured off towards the Institute where she would be meeting Jace. On the way everything was fine, no weird feeling came to Clary. She was glad, that meant it her dream was making her act the way she had been. Before Clary could knock on the door, Alec emerged from the Institute.
"Alec, Heading off to see Magnus?" Clary questions.
"It's none of your business, Clary...But If you must know, Yes. Jace is in the training room waiting for you." Alec replies.
Clary thanks him and walks past him as he leaves, Clary closed the door behind her and ventured down the quiet halls. She draws close to the training room.
She entered the room to see it was empty, she looked to see no sign of Jace, she walks in further still looking around the huge room, still nothing.
"Jace?" Clary calls out.
Before Clary could move she was grabbed and pinned to the wall, she had her eyes closed for a moment and soon opened them to see Jace was in front of her.
"You're dead." Jace says.
"What?" Clary questions confused.
"I was testing you to see if you would sense me and catch me before I pinned you." Jace answers.
"Well, It would have been nice to be informed on what was going on, Jace. I came in here expecting you to be hitting a dummy with your shirt off." Clary says stating the truth, she felt herself blushing.
"Oh really?" Jace replies.
"Let's train." Clary says, trying to change the subject, she looked up at the man who was a inch from her, no space between them.
"Okay." Jace replies, he lingers for a moment before moving away. As he walks away he removes his shirt throwing it to the ground, he knew it would get her flustered.
Clary follows him. "You did that on purpose, You know I can't concentrate on my training with your shirtless self all up on me." She says.
"I can't help it that it's getting hot in here, Just focus." He replies.
Clary takes a breath before walking onto the mat joining Jace, he takes her hand and they begin to train with hand to hand combat. After about six hours of Clary getting her ass kicked and falling to the mat, Jace decided to call it quits for they've trained enough.
"God, You really do know your moves, Jace...I still can't keep up." Clary says panting, trying to slow her breath from the training.
"Have I hurt you?" Jace asks concerned.
"No, I'm okay." Clary replies, she throws her arms around his neck hugging him.
Jace's strong arms circle around her waist bringing her closer in a tight hug, her head rests on his firm bare chest, of course they were sweaty but they didn't care, Jace pulled away from the hug cupping her face in his hands he leans in kissing her passionately, she kissed him back tasting his lips as he was tasting hers in return, she closes her emerald green eyes enjoying the kiss as well as his hands roaming from her chin down her body sending hot shivers up her spine, his touch, his kiss was enough to make her knees go weak, he picks her up resting her body against the wall for support, he continues kissing her.
"Clary..." He says breathlessly as he pulls away. "I should probably get you home." Jace says.
Clary looks at the time and then back at Jace, she sighs. "I don't want to go...Couldn't I just stay the night?" She asks softly.
"You're mother wouldn't like that, Honestly I don't even think she likes me..." Jace replies.
"She hardly knows you, When Sebastian had this control over you she thought you were going along with it willingly so that set off a bad impression...But you are right, we need to give it time. I know she'll come around." Clary says.
"We don't need to worry about things like that happening again, Sebastian is gone for good. I hated hurting you the way I did." Jace says.
"Let's go." Clary says shortly, she hated the topic of Sebastian it always brought a icky feeling in the air, she grabs Jace's hand leaning in and kissing his cheek, she leads them out of the training room.
Jace drove along the streets of New York on his motorcycle, Clary behind him of course had her arms around his waist holding on, the blonde was a fast driver but Clary enjoyed the adrenaline, she knew she was safe with Jace. He stopped parking alongside the curb arriving to her home, he shuts the engine off and get off the bike, she follows.
"Clary, Are you okay?" Jace asks as he walks her up to her home. "If there's something bothering you, You can talk to me."
"I'm okay, Jace." She says, she held back about her nightmare, she couldn't really form the words to talk about it, maybe she thought it was too silly to tell the blonde man she loved, or maybe he would think she was insecure about their relationship.
Clary shows a small smile, Jace felt there was something bothering his fiery redhead but he decided to let it go, his golden eyes looked at her he brushed his fingertips across her cheeks lovingly leaning in and giving her a small but passionate kiss. Clary kissed him back.
"I love you, Clary." He says softly. " Let's have lunch tomorrow at Taki's around 1:00PM?" Jace suggests.
"Sounds perfect." Clary agrees.
Clary watches as Jace gets back on his bike, he gives her a grin that shined his golden eyes up, he started his bike and he was gone. The redhead stood for a moment looking out at the sunset, it was surprising that it was still light out but she didn't mind. She climbed up the stairs and went inside.
"I'm home!" She chimes shutting the front door, she peels off her jacket laying it on the couch and walks into the kitchen, the apartment was empty and seeing the note on the counter she knew why.
Jocelyn left a note telling Clary that she and Luke went out to dinner and followed by a movie, she also wrote not to worry and that she loved her very much. Clary smiled widely, she was so happy that her mother was happy and in love with Luke.
"You really should look around your home more often, Little Sister...You never know what's creeping around." A familiar voice that sent cold shivers down her spine bringing her out of her happy thoughts of her mother and Luke, Clary felt him behind her his warm breath breathing down her neck.
"S-Sebastian...You're suppose to be dead..." Clary says, she doesn't turn around. She was frozen in place as she was faced with her brother.
"Aren't you happy to know that I'm alive?" Sebastian says.
Clary doesn't answer. "You've been following me, All day I've felt as if I were being watched...I thought I was crazy, I thought because of everything I had been through It was just me being paranoid...But really you've been creeping in the shadows..." She says softly realizing that everything that she felt today hadn't been in her head.
"I can't believe you had only felt it today, I've been watching over you for quite some time...Clarissa." Sebastian replies.
Clary goes to dart for the door to escape, she knew it was hopeless because Sebastian was fast, he immediately caught her by the waist holding her from going any further, Clary struggles to get free, pushing his arms away only for him to hold her tighter.
"Shhh...It's alright, Big brother is here now." Sebastian Coos whispering into her ear, she shuddered.
"Let me go, You're hurting me!" She screams.
"You've hurt me so much, Clary...Like right now, You hurt my feelings by wanting to get away from me...I assume you want to run to that boyfriend of your, That Jace...I as your brother forbid you to see him ever again, He isn't the right guy for you, You know how hard it was to watch him put his hands all over you, kissing you. It's disgusting!" Sebastian shouts, he twists Clary's body to face him, she was looking directly into his dark eyes, she was fearful with Sebastian you knew to be afraid.
"S-Sebastian, Be quiet...Neighbors will gets suspicious of you, They'll call the cops even." Clary says.
"Let them call the cops, I'm way stronger than them...I want you to stay away from, Jace. Do you understand?" He says.
"Understood, I will stay away from him...Just let me go, Okay." Clary says trying to reason with him, it only upset him.
Sebastian roughly slaps her across the face, it sent her to the floor where she sat for a moment before he picked her up again.
"You're lying to me, Clary...You're my sister and all I want is the best for you, I feel that monster isn't right for you...You know what, I have the greatest idea ever. I will take you with me away from mother and Jace, Wouldn't you like that?" Sebastian asks.
"No, I don't want to go anywhere with you!" Clary shouts.
"Clary, Are you okay?" A voice through the thin door asks, she didn't even have to guess who it was, Clary recognized the voice instantly, It was her best friend, Simon. "Why is the door locked?" Simon asks.
Clary wondered why Simon didn't sense Sebastian but then she figured the demon boy had runed himself to keep his scent undetected.
"J-Just a minute, Simon...I-I'm undecent." Clary says.
Sebastian directed her over to the door, he kept her close. "Don't think of giving me away, Little sister...I can make life very painful for you. Open the door slightly and tell the creep that you're busy and not in the mood for company." He orders.
Clary swallows, she knew Sebastian meant what he said. Mostly, he would kill everyone she loved, Jocelyn, Luke, Simon, The Lightwoods and Jace.
"I won't give you away...But If I don't open the door he will get suspicious...I'll make him go away." Clary says softly so that the vampire wouldn't hear.
The next minute, Clary opened the door barely. He stood with a goofy smile waiting for her to let him in.
"What's wrong, Clary? Why don't you want to let me inside?" Simon asks.
"I'm sorry, Si. I can't have company tonight, Mom isn't feeling well." Clary lies.
"I'm sure she wouldn't mind me, She loves me. Come on, Clary...Isabelle blew me off to train up on her whip...I thought we could have a best friend night." Simon pleads.
"Simon, To be honest I'm not feeling up to company...Training wore me out today." Clary says, truthfully training with Jace did tire her out but what worse was being in the same room as Sebastian had exhausted her even more.
"Oh okay, I'll call you tomorrow to check up on you, Clary." Simon says, he turns and leaves.
Immediately Sebastian slammed the door. "I thought that boy would never leave..."
Clary keeps quiet, she watches Sebastian as he paces the living room, Clary assumed he was figuring out his next plan and to her surprise he left her unattended, she swallowed nervously as he had his back turned away from her as he rambled about what to do next. The red haired girl quickly turned the knob opening the door which got his attention, he glared and slammed the door and slammed his sister against the door, her back hitting the knob as well as her head roughly hitting the door, she made no cry since she was knocked unconscious immediately by the blow.
"Oh Clary, Why would you want to leave me...Don't you love me, Sister?" He says softly, he picks up her unconscious body to carry her out of the apartment before Jocelyn and Luke returned.
