Before I start I would just like to give great big thanks to all the people who've reviewed.
So with that little thank you here is chapter 2.

Clary looked down at what Izzy had insisted she wear to Mangus and Alec's anniversary party. In her opinion the tight black low cut dress made her look like whore, but Izzy insisted she looked perfect, so though she felt uncomfortable in it, she kept it on. I mean she trusted Izzy, mostly. She had, though, put her foot down when Izzy brought out the fishnets. That, she had persisted, was way to much. So, for a compromise, she wore the black boots that Izzy loved so much on her. She realized, sadly to late, that maybe the dress was to much for her. This was because as soon as she reached the bottom of the stairs where Jace was waiting she felt him ogling her. Wow, she thought internally I had now idea he was such a perv.

"So any particular reason you're so dressed up?" Jace asked with fake innocence. Seriously, Clary thought, like he didn't know it was all for him. Sure she had to look nice for the party, but probably not this nice. Well, she decided, if he wanted to play moron she could play back.

"Oh," she smiled," Alec said Magnus was inviting some really cute warlocks. Hope you don't mind." Clary was already enjoying herself, but when she saw Jace's face darken with anger she could barley contain her laughter.

"You," Jaceenunciated her word clearly," are not going out with any warlocks." He said the name like something dirty, his face in a grimace. Moron, Clary was still internally giggling, how he could be jealous. Really she doesn't even look at other guys anymore. How he could be jealous, she wondered, was a mystery. When she saw that he was genuinely upset though she decided to make it up. Taking a step toward him she smiled.

"Stupid fool," she muttered before placing a chaste kiss on his lips. It was a soft gentle kiss explaining to him who she belonged to. When she pulled back she was glad to see that Jace looked as happy as Jace could.

"We can go to Alec's damn party later," Jace mumbled roughly pulling her back for another kiss.


Simon had waited a whole thirty minutes at the Institute door before Clary and Jace finally came out. Clary with her hair all messed up and Jace with a cocky grin on his face as he re-buttoned his shirt. Gross, Simon mentally shuddered, just sick. "Well, now that you to lover-birds are done doing whatever you were doing, can we go?" Simon was impatient. He and Maia had been going out for over a month now and he wanted to see her at the party. Clary just nodded dumbly while Jace laughed at her dazed expression. Now Simon really did not want to know what had been happening. He had seen enough of it yesterday, in fact, to last a life time. Or in Simon's case an eternity. He started walking, knowing they would catch up, when Jace's voice brought him to a halt.

"You do know where you're going right?" Jace asked, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. Gah, Simon really thought Jace was pompous ass at moments like this, but then again that is probably why he gets hit so much.

"Yes," Simon managed to growl out, while he considered following crowd, and punching Jace. He didn't really understand why Jace made him so mad al the time, he just did.

"Well," Jace was fighting back laughter now," You do realise that Magnus' is that way." Jace said pointing in the other direction, laughing so hard that all the mundies walking by stopped and stared. Clary who Simon had forgotten for a second was also laughing, but she was much subtler, only slightly shaking at the joke.

Simon turned, began walking the the other way, and when he passed Jace whispered soft and fierce, "I knew where I was going. I just wanted to take the more scenic route." Sadly, instead of having the effect Simon wanted, Jace just laughed harder. " Come on," Simon managed to get out to Clary and Jace, "we're already late enough." So, Clary and Jace, who seemed to be drunk on laughter followed Simon to the party.


Mangus place, behind its glamour, looked like a huge bouncing nightclub. Loud music that really had no words, just a beat, blared out, and bright multicolored lights flashed everywhere. Magnus answered the door like a good host, well the best host a person could be when only wearing tight gold spandex and a purple vest. He looked at them mumbled something about damn shadowhunters and his reputation, then let them in. Inside all the bodies seemed to be one throbbing mass, covered in glow in the dark paint, moving to the music. Clary and Jace quickly joined the mass while Simon looked for Maia. He quickly scanned the crowd, confirming what he already knew, she would not be dancing. He wondered over to the refreshment table, and when all he saw was a young kelpiehebegan to wonder if she had even , just as he was about to give up, he heard her laugh. Relief washed over him and he began to walk towards her. That was till he saw who she was with, or rather what she was doing. She was straddling Bat, her tongue down his throat, in front of the whole party. She must have heard Simon gasp, though, because she pulled back and instantly stopped laughing. But, before she could say anything Simon was gone.

"Simon," she cried out running after him as he stormed away," Wait let me explain please Simon. Please." He turned on her, his face blank empty, no emotion at all.

"What do you need to explain Maia," Simon asked his voice as cold sharp and lethal as a knife," Why you were totally cheating on me or why you were doing in front of everyone we know?" He watched he flinch and though he knew he should care, he didn't. "Well Maia it's a little to late to explain. You can have Bat, though, because guess what, it's over between you and me. "

"Fine," Maia yelled over the music," I don't even know why I wanted a bitchy vampire as a boyfriend in the first place." She saw what she had said sung and she felt bad, because unlike her, she knew he didn't deserve to be treated bad. "Simon, wait", she cried out but he was already gone.


Simon was walking out when someone grabbed his arm. the hand on his arm was small with long red nails and when he looked up saw Izzy in a tiny tight gold dress smiling at him. "Where on earth do you think you are going. The party's not even half way over. You can NOT leave yet."

"Izzy," he said fighting back tears," I broke up with Maia." He saw realization on her face as her smile fell and her expression was fill with compassion.

"Come on, lets talk upstairs," Izzy smiled again, took Simon's hand and dragged him up the stairs behind her.

Please Review. Also just guess whats going to happen next. You'll probably get it right but guess. Finally if anyone has any good demon names please tell me!!!
