Chapter 1

It has been a couple of weeks after Jace and I got back. He was lying in that bed, while I was pondering what to do. I knew Jonathan… "Jonathan? When did I start calling him that!? It's Sebastian, not Jonathan!" I said aloud without realizing it. Luckily my mom and Luke were out, and I was all by myself tonight. Anyways I knew he would come for me or Jace, but I didn't want to believe it. I suddenly felt so unsafe, so I grabbed my things and ran out that door. Of course I locked it before completely leaving it. I didn't know where exactly my feet were taking me, but I knew it was safer than that house.

When my feet stopped, I realized where I was, I was in Jace's room. Everybody there, even my mom! "Clary" Everybody said in sync with each other. With my look of confusion I just said "what?" Then I thought of wanting to speak with Jace alone, and somebody out of the corner of my eye said "I don't think that is a good idea, Clary?" What! Did I just say that aloud I though inside my head! "No, I think that is an amazing idea Isabel" I heard Jace say. They all left, well I thought they did, but they had the door cracked open when Jace and I were not paying attention. Jace just stared at me with his intense eyes; he was still glowing with that bright golden light he got after I stabbed him. "I'm going to speak first, Clarissa." Clarissa? My eyes watered at the thought that he didn't want to call me by my nickname. "Ok I said weakly," but before he could speak someone barged thorough the door. My eyes shocked to see him, and terrified at how he was here.
