I walked back in the theatre room to see Jace watching Ion Man 2. He loves you Clary. He actually LOVES you. "Clary are you okay?" he asked me standing up and not moving. I took a step forward, "So you do actually like me do you not?"
"Like would be an understatement," he said without sarcasm. I couldn't take it anymore. I ran into his arms and it felt so right. "I like-love you too," I said and putting my arm around his neck to pull him down to kiss him. When he kissed me back my body felt alive and it was amazing. His soft lips were crushed against mine; finally I might add.
"I knew it Clary I told you so!" Izzy exclaimed happily from the door. I got a pillow from her bed and threw it at her. "Do you mind Izz?" Jace said half angry.
"Nope since it's an open room. And I like what I'm seeing right here." She smiled smugly. She did have a point though we are in an open space room. "Well we'll leave you then," I said grabbing Jace hand and leaving the room. We were now in his room. "Does she always have to ruin a perfect moment," I huff and that earned me a smile. "Well you know what she's like." And how true that was.
"Oh how I do. She likes to dress me up and take me shopping. Well more like I'm forced to do that but that's beside the point." He laughed a little.
"You know I think she sort of played with or feelings for each other," he said and I looked at him confused. When he saw that I didn't know what he meant he continued. "I mean she knew that I loved you but didn't say anything. And I think she knew that you weren't really asleep and that you could hear everything and she waited until she exactly knew how you felt." He explained I knew that it was true. "That sneaky bitch." I laughed. "She really knows how to play it doesn't she. But then again I like her for that," I said kissing him again. God I like kissing him. I can't believe I never admitted to myself that I actually loved him. I just always judged him for how he acted around at school which was an arrogant ass. We broke away from kissing and I rested my head on his chest. "What happens about school tomorrow? I don't want to ruin your reputation or anything," I smirked at him.
"Oh you won't ruin it trust me." he said then kissed my forehead. I snuggled closer to him and felt my eyes droop ready to fall asleep. I was now falling asleep being happy and safe.
The next morning I woke up to something warm. I snuggled in closer never wanting to get up or leave.
"Morning beautiful," Jace said half asleep. That's when I realised that I was with Jace.
"Morning," I said still half asleep myself. I was about to ask him something when he ran to his bathroom and I could hear distinctly that he was throwing up again. Weird we hadn't thrown up since yesterday before we ate. Whoever did this to us was going to pay big time. I went over to the bathroom and looked at him in concern. Why was he the one vomiting and not me? "You okay in there Jace?"
"Oh I'm fine I'm just puking my insides out just for fun." He said sarcastically then threw up again. I rolled my eyes and opened the a little bit and leaned against the wall looking at him. He was looking pale and sick again. Then it hit me. He could've started throwing up at this time yesterday. "Hey Jace when did you start throwing up yesterday?" I asked him.
"Um about this time why?"
"Oh nothing just wondering. Well I'm going to go get ready for school and I'll tell Maryse that you're vomiting again." I said and he nods before clutching the toilet bowl again. I get outside his bedroom door and felt pain in my stomach and I clutch it tightly. I force the pain down and walk downstairs for breakfast. Just then Maryse walked in perfect. "Hey Maryse Jace is vomiting again." I inform her and she looks sad. "Oh thanks Clary. I don't know what is up with him lately," She sighed. As I walked upstairs to get my stuff I looked up at the time. I started vomiting around this time. There was nothing so I was free to go to school. However that didn't last when the pain surging through my stomach. Oh dear god the pain was unbearable. "Hey Clary I-" I ran straight past her and went into Jace's bathroom once again and threw up in his sink. "Well, well couldn't stay away from me huh," he smirked. I groaned in pain. "I thought I wasn't going to. This must be a coincidence," I mutter to myself.
"What are you talking about Clary?"
I sigh, "I don't know really. I mean you started to vomit the same time as you did yesterday and now I'm doing the same. What the hell is happening to us?" I said in frustration and leaned over the sink and puked.
"This is all too weird. This is more than a coincidence if you ask me." he grumbled to himself. I was throwing up worse than Jace was but he got it bad yesterday. Just then my phone vibrated. Oh shit it must be Luke. I got it out of my pocket and answered it. "Hey Luke I'm so sorry that I haven't told you where I've been." I start and then throw up.
"It's alright Clary but where are you?" I heard Jace vomit again.
"At the Lightwood's and I haven't been feeling well yesterday and now today as well." I explain then I puke then not long after me Jace does.
"Oh that's okay Clary. Who's throwing up behind you though?"
"Oh that's Jace. He's been throwing up like I have for the past two days." I explained to him.
"What Jace as in Jace Herondale?" what was going on?!
"Um yeah why? What's going on Luke?" I ask him desperately.
"Would it be okay if I come to talk to you two about something? It's important." He asked but sounded more of a demand.
"Um yeah sure see you in a bit." I said then hung up the phone. Jace was looking at me weirdly. "What on earth was that conversation about?"
"He's coming over because he wants to talk to the both of us. I think this may be part of why we are vomiting. He sounded more uneasy when I said it was you that was vomiting as well."
"This is all too random." He said and I nod in agreement then throw up again. About 30 minutes later he heard the front door open. Jace and I look at each other then get up and walk down to greet Luke.
"Luke!" I said and ran to hug him.
"Hey Clare. Let's go to the library shall we." Luke said and Jace led the way.
Once we got to the library Jace and I sat on the couch facing Luke. We also had a little bowl each just in case. "Okay so what's this all about?" I ask to start him off.
"Yeah and why am I involved?" Jace chipped in and to be honest I was confused as to why Jace was here.
"Okay well Clary you know how you used to vomit for days when you were younger?" he asked and I nodded. "Well it's because your father experimented on you with angel blood which makes you be able to do magical things if you say."
"Wait you mean I was an experiment and so was my brother?" he nods.
"Yes but he's the opposite of you. He got demon blood basically evil. You've been vomiting because it's getting more into your system mixing with your normal blood. It making you feel uneasy." This is all too weird. Luke then turned to Jace. "As for you Valentine and your father worked together and of course he gave you Angel blood as well and that's of course why you're vomiting." He explained and Jace looked too shocked. "Wait so is that why I would throw up gold blood sometimes?" Jace asked and Luke looked at him wide eyed.
"Yes it is. Has this happened to you before Clary?" I thought about it for a moment then I remember when I was 9 I saw gold blood and I freaked out. I nodded my head Luke.
Luke sighed deeply, "This is unbelievable. You guys are even more powerful than anticipated. This could either go good or bad." Luke shook his head in irritation. "There is no idea what Valentine will do especially with your brother and all his connections." He finished and I now was feeling sick. I quickly grabbed the bowl and threw up over and over. I was vomiting feeling sick form what I had been told and with the Angel blood apparently coursing through my blood. I felt Jace come over and rub circles gently on my back. "What do we do then Luke? And what do you mean be able to do magical stuff? Like have powers or something?" Jace asked.
"Sort of like that. Have you experienced anything weird or out of the ordinary?"
"Um I don't think so. Unless you count that I can jump from a building and land like a feather."
"Yes you would count that. What about you Clary?"
I looked up and tried to think, my drawings have been doing weird things lately. But it couldn't be could it? Oh this is all so confusing. "Oh um well my drawings have been doing all sorts of things. I have these dreams I then wake up and draw them and they glow and burn to ash." I shrugged.
"Okay look I'll talk to Maryse about this but it might be best for you two to stay inside for a while so that we get a little more of an understanding of your powers," Luke said getting up and leaving. I then heard Jace throw up and it was my turn to hold him and rub circles on his back. I still can't believe that this is happening to us. Why did I have to have the father from hell?! "You do know that we are going to have to stick together now right?" I asked him and he nodded. "I just can't believe that my father would do this to me?! I haven't and didn't do anything wrong?!" I said in frustration.
"I couldn't agree with you more. It wasn't my fault that I was born and that she died. You'd think that with you're only child you would want to protect them from anything but no I didn't get that. I had to listen to my friends complain that their not allowed to do anything and that they hate their parents when I would do anything to have my mum back," Jace now had tears forming up in his eyes.
"That's the one thing that hurt most I think. How that they would talk bad stuff about them and all that I ever want is to have my mum back. But I can't because she's dead and will never ever come back to me," I was crying now. I love you sweetie, forever and ever. My mums last words to me and now I'm crying even more. Jace had me in his arms hugging me tightly and I had my head resting on his chest with my tears soaking up his shirt. We sat there for a while and I started to get pins and needles all through my leg. "Jace I need to get up please," I whispered and he let go of me and I stood and shook my leg. The feeling was driving my leg crazy. "Bring your leg here." He said and I look at him skeptically "Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you I'm going to make the pain go away." He explained so I brought my leg up to the edge of the couch. He wrapped his left hand around my ankle and I felt shivers all through my body. He then started to lightly hit my leg. Not the sort of thing I was expecting but hey it was helping. I smile at mine and then he looks up at me. "Thanks that actually really helped," I said still shocked that it worked. Thank you for the future when I will need to cure my pins and needles. "I know I amaze myself even sometimes." He said cockily and I playfully whacked him on the chest. "Hey you brought it upon yourself for me to bring it up so not my fault."
"I did not, you interpreted it to make it sound like I said that," I glared at him.
"Well whatever. So now that we know that our vomiting isn't from that party I feel a little bit better. But seeing as it's because we have Angel blood in our veins I don't know," he admitted. To be honest I thought it was because of the party as well. I hadn't drunk anything on the night I made sure of it. I didn't think Jace did either. The thought of having Angel blood running through my veins wasn't the best feeling either. "What's going to happen now? Are we still going to be vomiting? Will my stupid father and brother come after us? Will I ever find out the truth about how my mother really died instead of the whole 'she died in a fatal car crash' story?! Will this nightmare ever end?! No of course not! And of course he just had to bring you into his whole experiment thing and I…" I started to feel numb all inside. I felt dizzy and my mind blurred then everything went black.
JPOV
She kept on rambling on and on about something but then she stopped talking and looked sick and pale. All of a sudden she was falling and luckily I just caught her. What on earth happened to her? Was it because she was getting angry? I took her up to my room and laid her down on my bed. I sat on a chair next to her holding her hand lightly. "Oh Clary please wake up. Now that I think about it feels like we were drawn together not by fate but by the blood that we both have. It probably sounds crazy and stupid. I don't know what happened when I was younger I would see my dad with a little bottle of gold liquid but because I was so little I just ignored it. Somehow my father changed after the death of my mother and not in a good way. Sometimes I wish that I had a normal life as a kid so that I wouldn't feel so broken inside and out." I finished with tears coming out of my eyes.
I felt her grab my hand tighter and my eyes went straight to her. She had her eyes open now. "It is not your fault. And Jace you are not the only one to feel broken both inside and out. My father did terrible things only because he thought that it was my fault that she died and that looking almost like her made him sick. It is not my fault on how I look, I couldn't do anything about It." and now she was crying. I got up onto my bed and held her tightly to me.
"Oh and just to say after all this time I have never hated you, in fact I liked you but I was too afraid to show it." She admitted quietly. Wow she actually likes me and doesn't hate me. Well that's different news. Clary was defiantly different but in a way that I like. She's not someone who I'd call 'hot' like I would usually but I would call her beautiful. Her red fiery hair to her small body and to her emerald green eyes which were staring right at me. It took me a moment to realize that she was day dreaming. "I'm sorry were you saying something?" she asked me looking back at me.
"You can be so like me sometimes, and it can be so annoying because it sometimes makes you look so cute." She blushed a bright red colour now. I cupped her face and brought her face down to mine and she had her hand wrapped around my neck and our lips now were crashed against mine. I wrapped my arms around her waist and brought her in closer. She deepened the kiss and I heard her let a little moan. She is so cute and adorable. She is amazing and certainly not like any other girl I have ever been with in my life. She stopped kissing and she was hugging me tightly. "Wow," she whispered.
"You're amazing you know that Clary."
"No I didn't know that."
"Well you are." I said and kissed her forehead.
CPOV
He kissed me! His lips were so soft. The kiss was perfect and it was an amazing first kiss. Wait that was my first kiss, or was it because apparently we did. "Hey Jace did we kiss at the party?" hoping that we didn't in a way.
"Um no we didn't, we were about too but Izzy dragged you away." Wow so that really was my first kiss. I wouldn't have been a big disappointment if we had of though. "Well just to say you were my first kiss." I looked up into his golden eyes.
"Well I'm honoured then." He said happily then drew in for another kiss. We stopped kissing and I felt a knot in my stomach. And I can tell you it doesn't feel too good either. "I will be back, need to throw up again," I said running to the nearest bathroom and throwing up again. This time throwing up feels worse. Not a moment later Jace runs in and is doing the same. "Is it just me or does this time feel worse?" I asked and vomited again.
"No it's not just you." He said and throws up and I swear I saw gold. I shook my head and threw up again but this time it was gold. Wait Jace did say that he threw up gold when he was little? "Jace I'm throwing up gold now," I said with my voice shaking with nerves because it's not every day that you throw up GOLD! His eyes were now wider and looking at me weirdly.
"What's wrong? Jace is it bad?"
"No I'm getting gold too. My only guess is that it is getting stronger and that it is now binding into our normal blood." He said and I guess that is true.
"This is all too weird."
We have been in the bathroom for basically the whole day and couldn't eat anything. I felt my body give in and felt my eyes droop. I knew that Jace came over to me and rested my head in his lap. "Sleep Clary," he whispered gently while brushing my hair with his fingers.
CPOV
"Well, well it looks like you finally know what I have done to you and that Herondale boy hey." A man said that sounded familiar.
"Who are you?" I asked looking around.
"Oh come on you useless child don't you remember your father?!" he shouts at me. Oh god he's back.
"Oh yes how could I forget the man who made me scared every day,' I rolled my eyes and he was getting angry now.
"I will get my hands on you two one way or another," he smiled wickedly.
"No go away leave him alone!"
"You think that I am going to leave my little experiments do you now!"
"What did you do to me and Jace?"
"Isn't it obvious? You two have these powers that no one else can do! You two are even more powerful than I anticipated.
"What are you talking about?"
"Shh Clary its okay. Wake up baby." I hear Jace whisper to me and I wake up.
"My dad it was my dad. That stupid asshole of a dad."
JPOV
Having Angel blood coursing through my blood okay weird but being told that I could do freakishly not normal things freaks me out too. I'm sure that it is freaking out Clary just as much. It was such a relief that she was with me and that we are in this together because without her I don't know what I would have been doing now. I looked down at a sleeping Clary and she is so adorable. She started to squirm around and I could only think that she was having a nightmare.
"No go away leave him alone," she murmurs. "Shh I'm here baby," I whispered to her and she seems to be restless.
"What did you do to me and Jace?" she keeps murmuring things and I try to shake her awake. "Shh Clary its okay. Wake up baby." I whispered and I could see her emerald green eyes now. "Are you okay baby?"
"Yeah I think so," she said hugging me tighter now.
"What were you dreaming about?"
"Valentine my so called dad and how he will get us and that he will not abandon his experiments. We're in danger now I can just feel it."
"We'll figure something out."
CPOV
After Jace and I were sitting together for a while Luke comes back into the room with Izzy and Mayrse. "Okay what's going on now?" I asked sitting up same as Jace.
"There is something that Mayrse and I have to tell you guys." Luke said simply sitting down same as Mayrse. Izzy, Jace and I look at each other in confusion. We then looked back at Luke and Mayrse. "Okay so what is going on?" Izzy asked.
"Okay well you guys are all part of a world where we fight demons and protect the mundanes." Mayrse explained and we are just sitting there absorbing the news that we are getting. This news isn't as bad as the first news that Jace and I had gotten. That was ten times worse.
"Wait so all that Angel blood stuff is just part of this?" Jace asked and Luke nodded.
"Yes Jace it is. When your parents were alive Celine was great friends with Jocelyn and Valentine with Stephan. Valentine gave a vile containing Angel blood and said to give it to you when Celine was pregnant with you." Luke started and Jace wasn't looking all too good. I wrapped my arm around his waist and grabbed his right hand and started tracing circles on it. He seemed to go back to his normal colour. "Yes and when Stephan died Celine was devastated and committed suicide. Of course Valentine didn't want you to die so he cut you out." I grabbed the closest bowl there was and gave it to Jace who threw up in it. "Wait what does Clary and Jace have in them?" Izzy asked very lost. Oh yeah no one has told her what's been happening.
"Well a guy called Valentine who was married to my mum, experimented on my brother with Demon blood then experimented on both Jace and I with Angel blood. We can do things that no one else can. And also that Valentine and my brother Jonathon could be coming after us." I summed up; pretty much everything.
"Oh so that's why you two were vomiting." Izzy understood now. Thank god.
"Wait did my mother leave Valentine when she was pregnant with me?" I asked and Mayrse and Luke both nod. "Yes when she knew that Valentine was up to something she left straight away because she didn't want the same thing to happen to you too. Unfortunately she was too late for that." Luke said sadly.
"Did you guys take our memories away from us or something?" Jace asked looking pale still.
"Yes we did. Only to protect you guys but after what Valentine did to Jace and Clary we couldn't keep it any longer." Mayrse explained and I could tell that we were all a bit frustrated that we didn't get told and that our memories were wiped. I felt sick now and there wasn't a spare bowl anywhere so I had to run out of the room into the nearest bathroom. I sat on the floor hugging the toilet bowl. I knew that Jace was standing at the door. "Why is this happening to us? I hate this sick feeling that I am having all the time. I just want my normal life back." I was now crying. Jace came and sat down next to me and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "We've never had a normal life. Never have never will." He sighed. "Yeah I guess not. How are you feeling now?" I asked him after him vomiting for a while back in the room.
"I'll be fine I guess."
"I just wish that I had my mum here with me because she's the one who decided to marry Valentine in the first place!" I let out a frustrated sigh and rested my head on his shoulders. "Life's not always fair Clary. And I speak from experience." He said sadly. Our lives are truly messed up.
"So what's going to happen now? Now that we know that we are shadow hunters and are warriors do we have to train or something? Oh and what about Alec?" I was rambling again.
"Okay yes we are going to have to train and I'm sure Alec will have been informed. Oh and did you know that he has a boyfriend now?" he asked me. Alec had come out that he was gay to me first because he said that I seemed to be the most honest one. And I was glad that he had told me. After the conversation that we had I encouraged him to 'come out of the closet' per say. "Oh that's great! Who is it? What's he like?" I was bombarding Jace with questions now.
"Yeah it is and his name is Magnus Bane. Apparently he is very sparkly and has a nickname that is King Sparkles. But I think I'll call him Mags instead." He decided and I laughed at the nickname King Sparkles. Sparkles; that just made me laugh even harder. Jace looked at me weirdly and I smiled at him and said, "Sparkles." And went back to me little fit of laughing and Jace joined in not long after.
IPOV
Okay being told that you're a shadow hunter is all so much. I fight demons to protect the mundane world which are the people that I have lived with for most of my life. And also that Jace and Clary are different to any other shadowhunter as well. Finding out that the reason behind their vomiting for the past day or two is because they have more Angel blood and it was coursing through their veins must be truly different. Oh and that they have special 'powers' if you call them is just freaky. Wait what happens to Alec because he isn't even here? Luke and my mum are just talking while I'm sitting here trying to process everything. Then mum left and came back with a small silver box. "Mum what is that?" I asked as she handed it to me. "This is a weapon that has been handed down all through my family as well as that necklace I gave you for your fifth birthday." She explained and I nod understanding what she was saying. I opened the box to see a snake bracelet. I took it out of the box and unsnapped it and it was now a whip. My eyes widened now in surprise and astonishment. My very own weapon. I went over to mum and hugged her and thanked her. "Hey mum what about Alec? I mean he's in college." I asked her and she seemed to be calm about my question.
"Oh you know his boyfriend Magnus Bane right?" I nod, "Well he's actually a warlock and I have asked him to explain everything that is happening to him." Thank god he will know. "Oh okay." I smiled. "Well I'm going to go and check on Jace and Clary." I said leaving the room.
Ugh this is all not making any sense, I thought walking through the gloomy looking corridor.
