Hello everyone! I wrote this story out of boredom and decided to post it! please review and let me know what you think!
"Come on Clary! Just admit it! You love Alec!" shouted Jace.
Clary cringed at his words. They were true. She loved Alec. But he was with Magnus!
"Yes, I do. I'm so sorry Jace. I never meant to hurt you like this, or fall in love with him. But it doesn't matter. He doesn't matter! He's with Mag-"
"So what am I? Your second choice? I thought you loved me! After everything we have been through, you love someone else?" he said, his voice breaking and tears filled his eyes.
"You're not my second choice! And I do love you! It's just…"
"You love him more." He said, tears replaced by anger.
"I'm so sorry Jace. I wish I could love you the way I thought I did." She said hoping he would understand.
"Save your breath Clary. Your only making yourself seem more pathetic." He said glaring at her before he left her in his room
Clary fell on her knees, crying into her hands. She broke his heart.
This was not how she hoped this day would go. she had wanted to train and pretend everything was normal!
She wasn't lying when she said she loved Jace, she did love him. But it wasn't as strong as what she felt for Alec.
A few weeks ago, Jace had gone to a clave meeting so Alec had offered to train her. She was surprised at first considering how they barely got along, but she was grateful.
He had trained her using a bow and arrows. She failed miserably at his instructions. She kept hitting off target. So after an hour or so of trying to hit some part of her target, Alec got impatient.
He came up behind her, placed his hands on her waist to position them. He then placed his hands over hers, and brought the bow and arrow up a small bit.
He then pulled back the arrow then released it, all the while breathing into her ear.
She had never been so close to him before then, and was able to smell his scent. He smelt of something sweet and fresh air. She was also able to feel his heartbeat, which had quickened when he placed his hands over hers.
She had felt a shock when he touched her. Not a bad shock like you might get off a car or some metal, but a nice shock that made her want to hold onto him.
The arrow hit dead centre, and Clary turned around to smile at Alec. He was already staring at her. They held each other's eyes for what could have been hours, but broke eye contact when Izzy entered the gym looking for Alec.
Clary knew there was something strange about what happened between her and Alec, she just didn't know till a week later.
After much begging, Clary convinced Jace to bring her demon hunting. She was to stay with at least one of them at all times.
They were walking a few blocks from the Institute when Jace and Isabelle got into a fight about who was hotter, when Clary noticed a small child across the road crying.
Clary felt bad for the child and wanted to help. She looked over at her friends. Alec was trying to reason with them to do their job. They weren't paying any attention to Clary.
She quickly ran across the road to the crying child and bent down to their eye level. Their eyes were closed. It was a small girl who looked like she had been dragged through mud!
"Are you okay?" she asked the child.
The child raised her head and opened her eyes. They were as black as ink.
Clary heard someone shout her name, but the demon child had grown six feet, transforming into a dark figure. The demon grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up till they were nose to nose.
"Your brother sends his regards, but he thought I would be better suited to bring you to him." Said the demon. His breath making her gag. It smelled of rotten flesh.
Clary gasped (regretfully) at the mention of her brother. He was dead! Jace killed him! didn't he? His body was never found…
"Let her go NOW" said Jace. Clary could just see the light of his seraph blade from the corner of her eye.
The demon looked at Jace and laughed.
"What do you little shadowhunters think you can do?" he taunted.
There was a flash of light followed by a scream. Clary felt herself fall and hit her head on the sidewalk. Clary tried to focus on the demon in front of her. He was clutching a stump or what must have been his arm.
The dim side-walk lights made Clary see black dots. She tried to stand up but failed. She felt arms wrap around her and could smell something sweet and fresh. She just about focused on two extremely blue eyes.
"Take her home Alec. She hit her head. Izzy and I can take care of this thing." Said Jace.
She felt herself being lifted and told constantly to stay awake. All she wanted to do was lie on the ground and fall asleep.
After a bumpy way home (Alec had jogged with her in his arms) they made it to the institute. Alec brought her up to her old room. Magnus was already there.
'That's odd. She didn't remember Alec calling him'
"Your sister called and explained what happened. They should be here soon." Said Magnus examining her head after Alec placed her onto the bed.
"Will she be alright?" asked Alec. His voice was laced with worry?
"She has a concussion but I should be able to fix it. Go stand outside and tell the other two to stay out. I need all the quiet I can get to focus."
She heard Alec mumble then leave.
Clary lost consciousness, but when she woke up she felt disappointed to find Jace there.
She sat up in the bed (ignoring Jace protests and refraining from asking for Alec) and the door opened revealing none other than Alec.
"Oh, great to see you awake." Said Alec smiling with relief? "Jase, mom wants to speak with you."
"Right now? Just when my girlfriend has been asleep for days and wakes up, she wants to talk to me?!" said Jace incredulous.
"It's alright. I'll be here when you finish with Maryse." Said Clary feeling guilty for wanting to talk to Alec instead.
"You better be. I can't re-kill that demon." Said Jace leaning forward to kiss her. Clary moved her head so that Jace only got her cheek. He didn't notice anything wrong so he left.
She was left alone with Alec now.
"So how are you feeling?" asked Alec taking the seat Jace vacated.
"Fantastic" she replied sarcastically. He grinned.
"well next time you'll know better than to break your fall with your head." He said joking.
The memory of the demon sprang to the front of her mind. Especially what he told her.
"Clary? Whats wrong?" asked Alec looking confused. she didn't realize she had tensed up.
"That demon…is he really dead?" she asked quietly.
"Jace seemed sure he was, why?"
"He said my brother sent his regards. That he was sent to bring me to Sebastian." She said tears forming around her eyes.
Alec stared wide-eyed till he pulled her into a hug. She was gasping in his scent. They slowly broke apart when Clary gained control of herself, but their faces were inches apart. They were staring into each other's eyes and leaning in closer to each other till the door opened and Jace walked in followed by Isabelle.
Clary and Alec quickly broke apart. Jace noticed her red eyes and went to comfort her, without acknowledging Alec.
She explained what the demon had said. Jace had gotten angry and started ranting.
Clary didn't listen as she kept thinking about the nearly kiss. That was the moment she realized she had feelings for him. And each day they got stronger.
Clary pulled herself out of her memories and stood up. She changed into her training gear that she had brought and headed towards the gym. She needed to let out her anger on something.
As she got closer to the gym, she could hear something being punched and something else grunting.
'JACE' she thought running towards the doors.
She was afraid it was Sebastian. He hadn't showed up yet and maybe he really was dead, but she still had a part of her that was afraid he was in the gym attacking Jace.
She burst opened the doors and gasped at the sight.
It was Jace alright but he was the one punching, and it was Alec that was on the ground covered in blood.
"ALEC!"
So please review if you want me to continue or change anything! I know there are a few stories like this but I wanted to write my own version!
Also check out my other story 'Growing up with a demon'. It's based on how I think Clary would be like if she grew up with Valentine and her real brother! Its has received amazing reviews so far and I have a poll created and I would love your opinion!
Till next time ~maraudergirl68448
