It was 10:00 in the morning at the New York Institute. Isabelle, and Alec were sleeping and Clary and Jace were training. "Come on! You can do better than that!!!!!! Jace teased as Clary was struggling to regain her balance. "I'm trying but every time I get up you knock me down."Clary said tiredly. They had been up since 3 Am because of Jace's excessive training habits. "Well if you want to become a master shadow hunter, like myself, I have no choice but to push you harder and harder." He said with a playful glare. Ever since Clary and Jace started dating it has been non stop training, and the occasional loving and going out on dates. Clary regained her balance and attacked Jace with a pole used for shadow hunter training. Jace dodged it easily and Clary clumsily tripped over his foot. She lied on the ground pouting. "I don't think I'll ever get this shadow hunting crap right." She turned her head and saw Jace looming over her with a grin on his face. "Would you just relax." He said helping her up, "Your just not concentrating," he grinned evilly at her, "most likely because of the amazing time I gave you last night. Still having daydreams huh Clary?" "I was not!!!!!" But truthfully she was, Jace has been so passionate to her last night. Her experience with Jace had been like a girlish fantasy that people would only dream to have. "Well of course you were. It's understandable though. Girls just can't get enough of me." Clary glared at him. "Oh is that what you think? I -" Just then Jace pulled her over to him and hugged her to his body and embraced her in a passionate kiss. Alec raced into the training room frantically. "Um, Hello!!! Did you not here me calling you?" Jace pulled away from Clary and looked at Alec. "No I didn't sorry. I was kind of busy as you can tell." Clary blushed slightly at this comment. "Well you need to get un-busy. Mom wants all of us in the library now!" Alec walked out of the room calmly, with Jace and Clary following closely behind.
When they reached the library they found Isabelle and Maryse were already sitting down in chairs talking silently. Maryse hasn't been herself since Max's death. As they walked in Isabelle looked up. "I see you finally graced us with your presence." Jace stopped and looked at her and then took a seat between Alec and Clary. "Well being the king of this institute I have to make sure that I look perfect for my royal subjects like yourself." Isabelle was about to make a snappy comeback when Maryse interrupted her. "Excuse me but this time is a time for serious matters Jace." Everyone focused their attention on Maryse. "I've called you all here because we have to discuss a sort of 'mission' that you must attend to." Alec raised an eyebrow. "Mission?" Jace couldn't resist, "Yes a mission like the kind you see on your little Saturday morning superhero shows, Alec." Alec glanced at him and then looked at his fingers. "It was just a question!" " A dumb question at that." Maryse cleared her throat. "As I was saying. There has been some new around Idris about a new shadow hunter in our area. Nobody has seen her up close but they say that she is very powerful. The Clave has asked me to investigate her because they don't think she's an ordinary shadow hunter." Clary looked at her confused. " Do you think she's a demon?" " That's what I think and that why I need you to investigate. Jace I need you gather weapons. Alec I need you to contact Magnus. You might need him for this one. I need you all ready by noon." With that Maryse exited the library smoothly. Everyone else did the same. They had to prepare for this stranger in their territory.
