Clary's Pov
Clary woke up to a bright light above her. She looked around and found herself in a small infirmity bed in a large room. It was obviously day time because the sun was shining through the mosaic windows. Where the hell am I? She wondered and realising there was a small wooden chair at the corner of the room with some clothes piled on it, she went to get changed. She found a small bathroom which was adjoined to the strange room and got changed quickly. Clary looked in the mirror and liked the clothes she had been given. A tight fitted black top and a pair of simple denim leggings gave her an almost 'don't mess with me' approach. Clary slipped on a black pair of slippers for pure comfort and wondered out into the grand hallway.
Jace's Pov
Jace ran his hand through his hair. He had been training with Alec and Izzy for almost two hours and he still couldn't master a new knife throw. Alec seemed to have given up and was now shooting bows into the target and Izzy was punching the beanbag like there was no tomorrow. Jace was about to try again when a soft voice echoed through the walls making Jace spin round.
"So, are you all shadowhunters?" the voice asked and Jace saw the red-head staring straight at him. For some reason he couldn't form any words so Alec cut in.
"Yes, who are you", he asked and he looked judgingly at the girl. Jace suddenly wanted to scream at Alec for speaking to her like that. Why do I care? Jace asked himself in angry confusion.
"I am Clary Fray", she replied like it was a simple fact that everyone should know. Alec nodded and looked away to begin training again.
"I see you found the clothes I put out for you, my name is Izzy and that obnoxious man is Alec and this is Jace", Izzy said smiling at Clary who grinned back. She is so different, Jace said and he pushed the thought away.
"Thank you for saving my life", Clary said to Jace. He grunted in reply and Clary looked away. Her eyes, he thought and he wanted her to look at him so he spoke.
"Where is your home?", he asked and Clary looked back at him with sadness.
"I have no home", she spoke like she didn't want to talk to it and Izzy got the message.
"Well, you can stay with us for a while", she suggested and Alec made a noise of protest but Izzy cut him off. Alec turned back and picked up a knife.
"Thanks", Clary said and came over to Izzy. The two girls started chatting leaving Jace to study Clary. She seems around my age, he noticed but he kept getting side-tracked. Beautful pure eyes, flaming red hair and she looked so, so understanding, Jace thought and he just wanted to hold her. Stop it, he told himself but he simply couldn't. Jace usually used girls but he didn't want to use Clary. He simply wanted to tell her everything, all his worries and secrets. Just as he was about to start training again, a sharp seductive voice bounced off the walls of the training room.
"Who is this?", the voice said and Jace saw Aline Penhallow staring at him with chestnut eyes. Izzy quickly answered for a silent Jace.
"Hi Aline, this is Clary and Clary this is Aline, Jace's fiancé".
Hey everyone,
