Bad Blood

After Alec left with Simon to take him up to the gard, Aline and I decided to go to one of the rooms for a little privacy. Every since we arrived, Aline proven to be a good distraction from me constantly thinking of Clary. I felt bad for lying to Clary about what time we were leaving, stopping her from coming to Idris. But at least I knew she was safe in NY away from what Valentine was planning and also the Clave. If there was one thing I agreed with my father on, it was the corruption of the Clave. I knew if the Clave found out what Clary could do they would want to use her and I couldn't let that happen. That's why I told no one that it was Clary who destroyed Valentine's boat not even my parabatai, Alec. I just hoped when we got back to NY that Clary would be able to forgive me. I couldn't stand the idea of Clary hating me.

Another benefit of Clary not being here, was a chance for me to see if I could be with somebody else and bury my feelings for her. I already knew that I would never stop loving her and wanting to be with her but I had to try to figure out how to live with that. I couldn't go own forever letting my feelings for Clary torture me because it was starting to take its toll on me.

I looked at Aline and thought I could see myself being with her. She was very pretty with straight black hair that fell down to her shoulders and framed her slim narrow face. She had a very nice body that was a bit older than her actual age. Once we were in the privacy of the room it didn't take long before we were doing more than just talking. My hands were around her waist pulling her against me while I kissed her soft lips. She wasn't holding back either with her arms around my neck pulling me down into her wanting more. Kissing her did make my pulse quicken but it had none of the effect or feeling that kissing Clary did. Just having Clary near me filled me with so much desire, it drove me crazy. And her touch, Her touch would send tiny electric shocks pulsating thru my body. No girl had ever had that effect on me and I was pretty sure no other girl ever would. The kiss with Aline started to get very passionate. I moved my hands to the top of her blouse and started unbuttoning it. Suddenly the door to the room burst opened making Aline and me pull apart. I turned to see who so rudely came in without knocking but was in no way prepared for who I saw…. CLARY!

To say that I was shocked would be an under statement, I just stared at her with horrid disbelief like I was seeing a ghost. There is no possible way she could really be here. The look on her face only added to the despair and panic I was feeling. I know she seen me kissing Aline and the look of shock, hurt, and betrayal showed exactly how she felt about it. Then I noticed what she was wearing, a black Shadowhunters fighting outfit, filling me with a sense of dread. Any other time I would have thought she was sexy since the outfit fit her like a glove extenuating her curves and petite figure, but at this moment it terrified me. I felt like I was fixing to throw up and pass out.

Finally Aline spoke bringing me to my senses a little, "Excuse me, Who are you?" She said with displeasure in her voice. Clary didn't answer she just looked at me with betrayal and disgust. With the initial shock slowly easing, I forced myself to speak, "Aline, this is my sister Clary." I said

"Oh, oh" Aline said embarrassingly. She walked toward Clary trying to introduce herself. Clary turned her gaze on me, her eyes told me she didn't want to touch Aline or have Aline touch her. I stepped forward grabbing Aline by the shoulder before she could reach Clary and whispered in her ear. "I need to talk to my sister alone for a minute." Aline just nodded at me turned and walked out the door leaving Clary and me alone.

We just stared at each other from across the room. I looked at her trying to figure out how she got here but realizing that however she did, it would be against the law and dangerous. Thinking this started to fill me with anger. Anger at the fact she didn't listen to me and stay in NY. Also that whatever she has done could end up getting everybody in trouble including the Lightwoods. How could she be so rash and not think about the consequence to others from the decision she made.

"Jace" she said taking a step toward him. He didn't know why but he unconsciously took a step back from her like she was infected with some disease. Not hiding the anger from my voice I said,

"What in the name of the Angel, Clary, are you doing here?"

"You could at least pretend you were glad to see me. Even a little bit." Clary said. Any other time I would have been glad to see her but not now, not here. She had no clue of the danger she had put herself in by coming here.

"I'm not glad to see you," I said in a flat emotionless tone. We both just stood there glaring at each other. The whole time racking my brain on how I could get her to leave.

"This isn't you" she said "I hate it when you act like this-"

"Oh you hate it, do you? I mean you do everything I ask you to do." I said with a sarcastic snap to my voice. That only seem to strike a nerve with Clary.

"You had no right to do what you did!" she snapped at me suddenly furious "Lying to me like that, You had no right-" The sudden outburst just fueled even more anger into me.

"I HAD EVERY RIGHT!" I shouted "I HAD EVERY RIGHT YOU STUPID, STUPID GIRL. I'M YOUR BROTHER AND I –"

"AND YOU WHAT? YOU OWN ME? YOU DON'T OWN ME, WHETHER YOUR MY BROTHER OR NOT" she quipped

The door flew open behind Clary. It was Alec, dressed in a long dark jacket, his hair in disarray. "What in all possible dimensions is going on in here?" He looked from me to Clary with amazement. "Are you trying to kill each other?"

"Not at all" I said all the anger and panic gone from my voice "Clary was just leaving"

"Good," Alec said "because I need to talk to you, Jace."

Clary interrupted him and chastised him for ignoring her and not saying hi. "It is good to see you Clary, except for the fact you're not really suppose to be here. Isabelle told me you got here on your own somehow, and I'm impressed-"

"Please don't encourage her." I said cutting him off. All I need is Clary doing more than she already has.

While Clary and Alec argued over who needed to talk to me more, I thought about what Alec said about Clary getting here on her own. I still couldn't figure out how she had portalled here but she did not know Idris or Alicante at all. She would have to have help from someone who knew Idris to get this far. That's when a sick feeling started to form in my gut and I came to the realization she'd come with Luke, a downworlder.

I turned my gaze back to Clary. "You didn't come here alone, did you?" I said slowly, not wanting to hear the answer.

"Luke" said Clary "Luke came with me."

I cringed "But Luke is a Downworlder. Do you know what the Clave does to unregistered Downworlders who come into the Glass City – who cross the wards without permission? Coming to Idris is one thing but entering Alicante without telling anyone?"

"No" Clary said in a half whisper like she had just realized the severity of what she had done "But I know what you're going to say –"

"That if you and Luke don't go back to NY immediately, you'll find out?" I hated threatening Clary with turning her into the Clave but the only thing I cared about now was finding someway to get her and Luke to go back to NY as soon as possible before anybody found out.

The door opened again this time it was Isabelle. She looked straight at Clary shaking her head "I told you he'd freak out," she said "Didn't I."

"Ah, the "I told you so", always a classy move." I joked trying to squelch some of my anger. But Clary didn't find it too amusing and the horror on her face showed it.

Clary started saying something about Luke disappearing. My gaze never leaving Clary. I could see how hurt and distressed she had become. She wouldn't even look at me anymore. Preferring to keep her gaze trained at the floor. Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, Clary proved me wrong when she confessed that she made a portal to get here. The word "Portal" reached up and slapped me across the face. I was stunned. How is that even possible? Picking up on what Isabelle was saying to Clary about Warlocks being the only ones able to create portals, my thoughts turned to what the Clave would do to Clary if they ever found out. No Shadowhunter has ever had the ability to create a portal. A surge of fear and panic started to coarse thru my body. No matter what it takes, I had to get Clary gone and out of here.
