Hey you guys I'm back! I can't really say if I'm late or not to post this because it's most likely prewritten. But whatever sorry if it came late!

Before I say anything else, I changed the title to Angel's Fire. I kept editing the introduction in the first chapter but it wouldn't freaking save so I'm telling you now so no one will correct me later ,

I just want to thank you guys with all the feedback I got on the first prologue chapter! I never thought I would get reviews and follows and favorites so quickly! I'm so happy I don't even know how to thank you!

Oh and a btw about the story, I'm posting 4 prologues before the actual chapters so that way I don't have to explain to you guys later too many things.

Right now you are going to be reading the 2nd prologue.

I hope you enjoy!

Clary and Jace both 10

Clary POV

"Oh come on Cherry I wanna go! We can go together I promise I'll hold your hand!" Jace begged the shorter girl.

"No! I'll fall off! And I'm scared of heights!" Clary argued with the taller boy, pouting her lip out like the 4th grader she was.

They were both in a carnival near their apartments near the gigantic Ferris wheel. The carnival came every year just for the kids in the area. All of it was sponsored by parents so all kids could come alone safely and leave safely. (AN: I don't know if these things are even real but just go along with it :3 )

Jace rolled his butterscotch eyes at the Red head. "I promise I won't ever let you go. Now come on the line is still short! Plus it's only a thirty-minute ride! You don't even have to look down just look at me the whole time! Please?"

Jace pouted. Clary could never control herself when he pouted. Clary attempted to stare him down.

Key word, attempted.

Clary looked away hiding her rising blush, "Fine I'll go but you have to tell Luke that I'm coming home with no money today."

She smirked as Jace paled a bit. About 4 years ago Clary's father Valentine got arrested for Child abuse. Since her father had practically "moved out" her mother's long time best friend, Luke Garroway, took in Clary. Since she didn't want to be away from Jace she begged for them to move into her same apartment next to Jace's.

Luke was a huge money saver. He owned a bargain priced bookstore that made enough money for them to live off of. It was a nice little petite store at the end of the street about 2 blocks away from their apartment.

He had only allowed Clary to go if she brought home at least $2.10.

He was very specific when he asked for money in return.

Jace looked a bit scared but hid it quickly with a grin of happiness and grabbed Clary's hand, "Deal now lets go!"

Before the red head could reply Jace pulled them off to the ride and got on. Patiently sitting as the operators quickly filled up the rest of the carts.

The wheel moved. Clary's hand tightened inside of Jace's.

Jace turned around to look down at Clary. She looked as if she could throw up any second.

All she was thinking was, if I look down I'll barf on someone.

Jace's expression softened. He tightened his hand around hers, "Cherry look at me. It'll be fine I'm here with you."

Clary looked up into Jace's eyes with her luminous green ones, a slight blush was creeping onto her cheeks, "Thanks Day. You say that a lot. Do you really mean it?"

Jace gave her a look, "What, 'It'll be fine I'm here with you'? Of course I mean it, you're my best friend Cherry."

And then he did something he'd never done before.

He swept in and kissed her on her forehead lightly. As his warm lip touched her forehead, Clary's face immediately flushed.

She barely allowed people to touch her let alone kiss her.

Jace pulled away with a slight pink tint to his cheeks, "Does that prove to you that I mean it?"

Clary just looked away nodding, "Why…d-did you k-kiss me?"

Jace lightly chuckled, "It's only on the forehead, nothing special. Just a friendly gesture."

Just a friendly gesture.

The words stung her.

"Day can I ask you something?" Clary asked her head still down.

"Of course Cherry, shoot."

Clary had to know. It was better to be shot down now then later, "Am I like a sister to you?"

Clary's head lifted only to meet Jace's confused eyes, "Clary is that even a question? Of course, you're the best little sister anyone could ask for!"

Jace's arms went around Clary happily as she swallowed the lump in her throat.

She knew she was too young to be in love but her heart hurt like a thousand tons just fell on her.

It hurt like someone was shooting arrows at her.

She could barely reply, but she managed to croak out a normal sounding thanks.

Jace pulled away, Clary's eyes showing none of her feelings before. She wore a huge grin like nothing was wrong.

And to Jace, nothing was wrong.

~o0o~

Later that evening

"Oh come on Cherry you had fun on the Ferris wheel I don't understand why I still have to do this?" Jace whined to the cherry like girl dragging him to her apartment.

Clary just laughed and started to run, pulling the blonde with her. "When we get there I hope you know I'm not going with you. And it was you who made us spend the last of our money."

"Yeah I know but I kinda don't want to deal with a pissed off Luke!"

Clary froze. He said pissed. Considering their ages pissed was still a curse word.

"Jace did you just curse?" clary slowly turned to the blonde who had too frozen in his tracks.

He wiped emotion off his face, "No."

Clary wagged her finger, "That won't work on me Jace Wayland, now did you or did you not just curse?"

Even though they both knew Jace was in deep, the blonde still fought, "Cherry you aren't my mother, I didn't say piss-" he covered his hand over his mouth.

Clary's eyes widened, "Jace why are you cursing now?! That's what all of the fifth graders do! Can't you wait until next year to curse?!"

Jace rolled his eyes, "Oh come on Cherry why are you making such a big deal? Its just a little word."

Right when those words left the boys mouth, Clary froze.

She never really liked when people cursed, it reminded her of her father. Every time he hit her he would call her names. He would always say that it was just a little word but it always meant something.

Clary, where are you, you little bitch?

That was the last curse word her father had uttered before hitting her for the last time.

Clary unconsciously touched her right cheek, where her father had last hit her.

Clary looked down, "You're right it's just another stupid word. Anyways you don't have to tell Luke about the money I'll do it. I'll uh I'll see you at school."

When Clary went to turn around to walk towards her apartment, Jace's hand caught her wrist.

He pulled her to his chest, resting his chin on the top her still lowered head.

He moved his mouth to her ear; "I'm sorry…" his hand went to her cheek, covering her hand.

Clary nodded slightly, she knew it was stupid that she couldn't stand curse words but she knew she would grow out of it. She was a fourth grader for crying out loud!

She had to get use to it.

"…It's okay…"

Clary turned around to lay her head on the blonde's chest, willing away the thoughts of her imprisoned father.

Jace's arms went around her; slowly he lowered his head to ear, "Keep your window unlocked tonight…"

Clary smiled slightly into the boy's chest. It had become sort of a ritual for the two of them. Every night at 10:30 when both of their parents were asleep (sometimes even Clary herself) Jace would sneak into the emerald-eyed girl's room and they would just talk or just cuddle and say nothing.

"I will. Bye Day." Clary said as she got out of the blonde's arms and smiled quickly before entering her apartment.

~o0o~

About 10:30 that night

Jace POV

Jace never knocked when he entered, he knew no one would ever answer. It's not like Clary ever actually locked her balcony doors.

Jace opened the door quietly, not to wake up the sleeping Cherry in the small twin bed.

He tiptoed toward the girl, tonight she looked pretty, the moonlight was shining on her body as she slept, showing her short pajama shorts and long T- shirt.

She started wearing either her brother's old shirts or Jace's shirt, wither way they were both big on her. This night she was wearing one of Jace's Camp Hunter T- shirt that was a little snug on him.

He smiled as he saw her face, even paler in the moonlight but you could still see her freckles. He bent his head down to cheek, kissing it to wake her.

Ever since he kissed her forehead on the Ferris wheel he had an urge to kiss her.

Clary placed her hand on her cheek and squirmed. Jace smiled wider, he leaned his mouth to her ear and whispered, "Cherry, I'm here…"

Her eyes shot open and her wrist shot out into the Blonde's hair, pulling him down to her face as she examined him. Her eyes were huge with fright.

She let go of his hair and sighed, "Day don't scare me like that! I thought you were a murderer or something!"

Jace looked at her, she truly was an idiot sometimes, "Cherry what murderer would come at 10:30 on the fifth floor of an apartment building?"

Cherry flushed in the moonlight, "You never know! There are crazy people in New York!"

Jace rolled his eyes, "Whatever Cherry, hey scoot over will ya, I need room to sit."

Clay obeyed, moving so that the blonde could fit, considering the size of her bed, they were practically smushed up against each other.

It took Clary years to control her blush. Every time they would be smushed Jace would always put his arm around the girl and pull her into his lap as they cuddled. Sometimes they just laid next to each other.

Today was different though. Instead of laying next to each other, Jace moved to his side and pulled Clary against him. She froze.

They had never been like this. Her mind began to race; he kissed her forehead on the Ferris wheel and kissed her cheek. Now they were taking cuddling to a whole new level.

Jace closed his eyes, nuzzling his head into her neck, he sighed, "Why are you so still Clare bear mooooove!"

Clary laughed as she moved to face Jace, she was lucky his eyes were still closed so he couldn't see her raging blush.

She slowly moved in burying her head into his chest and put one arm around his waist.

Jace moved his head back to her neck. He hummed. "Hey Cherry?"

"Mmm…"

"Do you think I can sleep over tonight? I'm… really tired… I promise I'll leave before anyone wakes up…"

Clary started to feel drowsy as she reached for the blanket and pulled it over them, "I… don't …m-mind…"

The two children fell asleep together in each other's arms, both feeling insanely sleepy and insanely happy.
