Damon growled as he threw his brandy across the room. How could this be happening all over again? Clary was supposed to be safe now that Katherine was gone forever. Damon shook his head. There had to be a way to stop this dark force, who or whatever it may be. Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Damon, Mrs. Flowers just informed me about what she saw."

Damon stopped pacing the floor and stared at his brother. Stefan was staring at him with concern. Damon quickly looked away and stared out the window, watching as evening fell.

Stefan sighed. "Damon, we're going to protect her. I think its best if we call her and tell her what Mrs. Flowers saw. We'll tell her to come here, so we can protect her."

Damon clutched his hands at his sides and laughed harshly. "Cause that worked out so well last time." Damon's fists tightened. "She almost got killed."

Damon could see Stefan's reflection in the window. His lips tightened and his eyes were staring at him. Damon rolled his eyes. Stefan's tone was now hard and as cold as ice when he spoke, which took Damon by surprise. "Damon, we had no idea that Katherine was in town, if we did, then we would have taken care of her sooner, but this time we know that something's after Clary and we're going to do everything to protect her from it."

Damon curled his lips and continued to stare out the window without saying a word. He could hear Stefan sigh. "Damon, I'm calling Clary and telling her what's going on." Damon could hear Stefan's footsteps retreating, but then they stopped. Damon glanced at Stefan's reflection in the window. Damon turned to face him. He watched as Stefan's face softened then turned to look out into the corridor. "Damon…I am sorry that things between you and Clary didn't work out. Just remember there are always others." With that said, Stefan left the room, and shut the door behind him.

Damon's fists tightened harder, causing his skin to turn paler than it should have been, even for a vampire. Stefan was wrong, no one else could compare to Clary. No matter how hard he tried to forget her, it was no use. She was always on his mind. Damon stood near the window and glanced outside. In one quick moment, the sound of shattering glass rang throughout the room. Damon stared at his bloody hand; the scent of fresh blood filled his senses. It was just the distraction he needed.

Stefan frowned as he heard the sound of breaking glass in Damon's room and smelled the scent of blood flooding the air. Stefan shook his head. It looked like Stefan would be buying Mrs. Flowers a new window. Stefan took out his cell and headed down the hall. He sighed as he dialed Clary's number. He knew she wasn't going to be pleased about this one bit. On the third ring, she picked up.

"Hello?" Stefan slightly smiled, he could tell by the tone in her voice that she hadn't changed one bit.

"Clary, its Stefan." He laughed as he heard a gasp then a quick squeal on the other line.

"Stefan, is that really you?" He smiled at the excitement in her voice.

"Yes, Clary, it's really me."

"How are you? How is everyone? It's so good to talk to you again." No matter what, Clary would always be like a little sister to him. There was just something about her personality that made him feel like he could open himself up more, like only a little sister could do when they were worried about you.

"I'm doing well and everyone's doing well also." He lied. He didn't want her to know the truth. That ever since she left everyone had been feeling down, but things were slowly going back to normal. Everyone was doing their best to cope with Clary's absence...well except for Damon.

"So Stefan, what's up? There must be a reason for your call."

Stefan sighed and closed his eyes, trying to figure out the right words to explain this.

"Stefan? Stefan, are you alright?" Clary's voice was filled with apprehension.

"Clary…you know that Mrs. Flowers is a witch right?"

For a moment, there was pause, and then Clary started to speak again. "I remember Elena mentioning that. Has something happened to Mrs. Flowers?"

"No…I'm afraid she's seen something." Stefan stopped walking down the hall and leaned against the wall. Absently, he ran his fingers through his hair. In the distance, he could hear Mrs. Flowers in the kitchen baking something.

He could hear Clary's voice go up to a higher octave. "Stefan, what has she seen? It must be bad if you're calling me? Stefan what's going on? Please tell me."

"Clary…" How on Earth was he going to break this to her? Gently, he guessed. He took a deep breath and let it out. "Clary, Mrs. Flowers has seen a dark force and…you're its target."

He heard Clary gasp, and then the phone hitting the floor. His eyes widened. "Clary? Clary, are you there? Speak to me, Clary?"

He could hear the phone being picked up off the floor; he could hear her breathing becoming rapid. "Stefan…I'm here." Her voice was trembling. "I…don't understand…Stefan what do you mean a dark force?"

"Clary, I'm sorry but a dark force has come out of nowhere and for some reason it's after you. I think its best if you come back here, that way we can protect you. I know you just moved back Clary, and you probably don't want to leave again. But I do think it's best that you don't stay there…..if you come here, then we can we figure this out and we'll keep you safe."

He could hear Clary breathing heavily on the other end. "Alright…I'll be in town in a couple of days…I'll most likely not be alone."

"I know Clary…I assumed Jace was going to be with you when you arrived. Clary, just come here as soon as you can. The quicker we figure out why this dark focus is after you, the quicker we can destroy it."

Clary's voice was still trembling as she spoke. "I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Alright, we'll be waiting." He heard Clary say her good bye, then the other line went dead. He sighed. They had to figure out what was going and soon…..before it was too late for Clary.

Clary felt her body go numb. Her phone fell from her hand as she collapsed onto her bed. Why was this happening to her? She was just getting her life back to normal…well alright, not exactly normal, but close enough to it. A sob caught in her throat. She chucked her pillow against the wall. This wasn't supposed to happen. She'd already faced enough danger to last a lifetime, with being a Shadowhunter she faced even more every day, and she really didn't want any more than she already had. How was she going to tell her mother and Luke that she had leave again, just when they started become a family again. Suddenly, she heard a knock on her bedroom door.

"Clary, are you alright. I thought I heard something coming from your room."

Clary sighed when she heard her mother's voice. Quickly, she wiped her eyes and did the best to steady her voice. "I'm alright mom, you can come in."

Jocelyn walked into her room, concern written all over her face. "Clary! You've been crying? What's wrong? Did something happen? Did Jace hurt you?"

Clary shook her head. "No, Jace didn't hurt me, mother."

Jocelyn was still giving her a worried look. "Then why are you crying?"

Clary took in a deep breath. "Mom…I'm not sure how to tell you this…but I'm afraid I have to leave."

Well there you go a dark force is after Clary. Can Stefan and the others find it and destory it before it takes Clary? And what about Damon, how will he hand seeing Clary again? I guess you have to keep reading to find out! Please review, I love to hear what you have to say or think!
