This is not the original post. I've just corrected some spelling mistakes and changed a few sentences.


Nobody's POV

Clary went up the stairs and up to the Institute. Church waited inside for her.

''Take me to Jace, please." The cat yawned but stood up and showed her the way.

''Hey", she said when she saw Jace walking towards her in the corridor. The sight of him made her whole body tremble and it felt like her heart was beating in an impossible speed.

His blond hair was a little bit wet and she thought that he must have been coming out of the shower recently, probably after an intense training session. Thinking of that, she could feel how the blood slowly started to raise to her head, but she managed to press it down.

''Hi" he smiled and it felt like she would melt on the spot.

''I was ju…" Clary didn't got to finish the sentence, because suddenly, Jace was really close and silenced her with his lips.

''I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist." He mumbled but backed a few steps so he could look her in the eyes while they talked. ''What were you saying?"

Clary's focus hadn't really come back yet and the only thing preventing her from tripping over her own feets were the fact that she had been training to become a shadowhunter the last couple of months. So it's starting to pay of, Clary thought before remembering that Jace had asked her something.

''I'm sorry, what did you just ask?" His left lip corner started to go up. This time she didn't had the power to let the red spread.

''I just asked what you was going to say when I so malicious interrupted you." The smile never went of his face and Jace started to wonder if he somehow had made her speechless. The smile got even bigger but that only made it worse for Clary.

''Well.. Ehm.. I just wanted to say hello. I was just going to the lake in the park and thought I might drop by." Jace started to say something about joining but stopped before any words came out of his mouth. Clary was going to the lake which meant that it would probably be a lot of ducks there. He know that is was silly but couldn't get over his ridiculous fear of ducks. He was too embarrassed to admit this to her even though she already knew.

''Just be careful" He took her head between his hands and looked deeply into her eyes. Sometime he wondered how he could deserve this much love and happiness in his life. Clary was absolutely the most beautiful girl he ever seen with her sparkly red hair and green eyes and he couldn't remember how he'd gone thru all these years without her. Not to mention if something happened to her. He shook his head and started to think about something else instead.

''I'm going to be fine, my mom will go with me." Clary didn't like to lie like that to Jace, but she didn't want him worried in vain.

''Besides, what could happen in the park. I've been there a millions times already and look.." she spun around to demonstrate ''.. I'm totally unharmed."

''With your luck, you could probably walk into the wardrobe and be attacked by demons." She giggled and gave him a fast kiss before turning around and walking towards the same way she came from.

''I love you Jace Lightwood'' she said, still giggling, before turning around the corner.

''I love you too Clary Fray", but she was already gone.

Clary's POV

I met Isabelle in the kitchen, on my way out. She way standing against the fridge and was reading some old book, judged by it's cover.

''Hi Isabelle" she looked up and her face lit up.

''Hi, I didn't know you were here, Jace should have told me" she said while stroking through her already perfect hair. ''Are you staying for dinner? We are going to order some pizza and I have already shopped some cookies and ice-cream for later."

''No I'm sorry I can't right now, but I will definitively come over here later, and you better have saved some for me."

''Alright then, you decide, but you should know that we got permission from our parents to order unhealthy food today, so we are going all in. No one will be able to take another step the upcoming days because of all the junk food I will force into them.." We started to laugh and Alec came in to see what happened. I didn't care about the weird look he gave us. Isabelle really had become like a sister to me and my best girlfriend. No one could rule out Simon from being my best friend so they simply just had to share.

When I had said goodbye and persuaded Isabelle that I was coming back later that night she finally let me go. I sent of a text to mom about where I was and headed then out to the streets. The wind grabbed my hair and spun it like a tornado. I just needed some time alone to think, or maybe not think about anything. I just really wanted to get out of the house and the institute for a moment. I could've got to Simon's house and been there, but he was rarely home anymore.

I went through a playground, deeply in my own thoughts, when I felt a cold hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw a short, thin man with no hair on his skull. I could feel the stench of demon around him and my eyes widened.

''Excuse me, are you Clarissa Morgenstern?"
