AN: Hello again guys, thanks for any reviews, favourites and followers I've received for this story, it really means a lot. And I am extremely sorry for how long it is taking me to update at the moment, I've been so busy with school and exams I've had very little time to myself and even less to write. Anyway this chapter has some multi point of view and some of them may be at the same time as the one above so just watch out for those and well I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Jace's point of view

As soon as the bell rung for the end of the last lesson, Clary was already up and halfway to the door by the time I'd even registered that the bell had gone.

I cursed mentally as I grabbed my bag and then rushed off after her.

There was something about the small red haired girl which didn't seem to make sense.

She was a mystery, I realised, a mystery waiting to be unwrapped but is just unwilling to do so.

Somehow I managed to catch up with her and I said with a smirk "Well you vanished from class quickly today Miss Fray."

Clary jumped at the sound of my voice, again almost tripping over her feet, but this time she caught herself before replying stiffly "I have something I have to do tonight."

I raised my eyebrows at her and asked "And what would that be? Or is it a matter of whom?"

Clary shot me an unreadable look as she said "That is completely disgusting Herondale. And it has to do with my top secret business."

I almost groaned in annoyance at her words.

That stupid secret had been bothering me ever since I followed her into the coffee shop at lunch where she had sat down with two other people and then they had all read some sort of file before Clary had shot up and rushed to leave again for school, briefly calling to her two friends on the way out.

But no matter how hard I'd tried to get the answers out of her, she didn't even budge in the slightest except telling me that I wouldn't believe her if she told me, which had only set new questions off in my head.

Luckily I didn't seem to groan out loud and I asked with one of my award winning smiles, as Izzy calls them, "So still top secret stuff you can't tell me then?"

Clary smirked and told me "Sorry but it doesn't quite change within two minutes I'm afraid."

"Hey! Herondale! Wait up!" A call from behind us caused both of us to turn around for a moment before I realised that it was Sebastian Verlac, captain of the football team.

Sebastian came over and placed a hand on my shoulder as he asked "So are you going to try out for the football team?"

I shrugged lightly, paying more attention to Clary who now mouthed at me 'Have fun' and then slipped through the crowds of other people walking around.

I almost cursed out loud as I saw her jog over to a shiny new black car and she bent down to talk to the hidden person inside before her face lit up brightly in a true smile for a moment before she looked up and saw a man standing there.

The man held his arms out to her and Clary surprisingly ran straight into them as she hugged him tightly.

Sebastian unfortunately seemed to notice that I wasn't paying him much attention, and when he spotted Clary he smirked and asked "Does someone have a crush on Miss Clary Fray?"

I rolled my eyes and told him "No, I was just wondering about her."

Sebastian laughed for a moment before he said "Well no one really knows anything about her except her mother is an artist and is mostly away from here, the man over there is like her second father partially because he wants to fuck her mother, and that she has a hell of a lot of secrets."

I frowned slightly at the man with Clary, he had short mousey brown hair, watery blue eyes, creamy pale skin and a pair of nerdy looking glasses perched on the end of his nose.

Clary suddenly whirled around and saw me and Verlac before she turned back to the man and then they both climbed into the backseats of the car and soon the car sped off out of the school gates.

After the car had vanished from sight Verlac carried on talking about the football team and it was at least fifteen minutes before I excused myself and darted towards Alec and Izzy who both smiled at me and Izzy asked "How was the first day for you then?"

I shrugged and said "Alright, what about you two?"

Alec shrugged back at me and said "Alright."

Izzy however began to ramble on about some cute boys and whatever else she normally spoke about.

My mind however was distracted by something. Well someone.

And that person's name is Clary Fray.

Clary's point of view

After Verlac had started talking to Jace, I saw my chance of escaping, and I took it.

I darted through the crowd, feeling Jace's stare dig into my back uncomfortably.

Out of the corner of my eye I noticed one of the agency's shiny black cars with tinted windows pulled up, just out of most people's sight.

I rolled my eyes and moved towards the car before casually leaning against it and knocking twice, then three times, and then six times on the driver's window.

The window rolled down and I bent downwards to come face to face with Agent Ragnor Fell.

Ragnor gave me a rare smile and said "Hello again Miss Morgenstern, I hear you have a mission now."

I nodded and told him "Then your sources are as good as normal, do you have any more information on him?"

Ragnor gave me a mock offended look as he answered "Well I should hope so otherwise I might lose my job Miss Morgenstern. And do you expect to see me here in public if I didn't?"

I smiled and said "Not at all Mr Fell. Are you meeting with us at my house in about twenty?"

Ragnor nodded and said "Yes, but not before I give you a congratulations on getting through a day of school present."

I raised an eyebrow at him until he carried on "Well someone by the name of Lucian Greymark has come back from his mission completely healthy."

A true smile now spread across my lips as I heard the familiar voice say "Hey Claire Bear."

I looked up and Luke stood there, his arms already open wide to for me to crash into.

As I hugged him, Luke whispered into my ear "Your mother's doing fine; she said she'll hopefully be home in a couple of days, a week at the most."

I nodded as I pulled back and I asked "Has she remembered to do everything she needs to do to live?"

Luke laughed and said "Don't worry, I told her before I left that she needs to come home in one piece."

I chuckled before Luke said quietly "There are two boys over there staring at you Claire."

Now I whirled around, wondering who the hell was staring at me, before my eyes settled on Jace and Sebastian, both of them staring at me intensely.

Luke by now had opened a car door and he offered "Ladies first."

I smirked and gestured at him "Go on then, I don't want to freeze my butt off here."

Luke laughed before climbing in and I climbed in after him.

Ragnor soon asked "Straight to your house Miss Morgenstern?"

I nodded and said "Yes please Ragnor."

In reply I got "Seatbelt Clary."

My lips curled up slightly as I yanked the seatbelt across my body, before I looked at Luke and said "Got a mission today."

Luke nodded and replied "So I heard, what's this one?

I explained briefly "Eidolon demon, taking anyone he can get his hands from multiple of scenes, mostly clubs, then having sex maybe possibly raping them before cutting their stomachs open and then slit their throats and let them bleed out though the last few he's been drinking their blood."

Worry flashed in Luke's eyes and he asked "Are you sure you don't want back up?"

I nodded firmly and answered "Back up takes weeks to come through, this one's last space between killings was four days. We can't just let him carry on killing just for back up."

Luke sighed but nodded his agreement and a heavy silence settled through the car, neither me, Luke or Ragnor wanting to be the first to break it.

In the end we sat in the silence all the way to my apartment where I climbed out and thanked Ragnor for the ride before nodding at Luke and then shutting the door and jogging towards my front door.

As I opened the main front door, Madame Dorothea, who lives in the apartment under my own, stepped out of her door and asked "Are you alright girlie? You look awfully pale."

I flashed her a small smile and said "Perfectly fine Madame Dorothea, just a little tired."

By the time I had finished speaking I was already half way up the stairs to my apartment but then I called down to her "Also if Magnus or Simon turn up can you just let them up?"

Madame Dorothea nodded and said "Of course."

"Thanks again Dorothea." I called down from my doorway before shutting the door.

Soon I was in looking in the mirror in the bathroom, trying to get myself to relax, Magnus always tells me that I'll be grey haired before I'm thirty but Simon normally lowers it to twenty.

Though its times like this when I truly understand what they mean, I normally tend to be very tense and uptight about certain stuff, especially cases about sexual assaults, though due to my past most probably wouldn't blame me.

After about ten minutes I heard my apartment door open and Magnus and Simon's voices talking to each other about Madame Dorothea.

"She's not normal I swear." Magnus was saying as I opened the door,

I walked towards them and told them with a straight face "She's a monstrous demon who's about to kill half of the population of New York."

Simon replied back "Well at least you can defend yourself against her."

Magnus winked at me as he said "Or your knight in shining armour could come in and save your ass."

I wrinkled my nose slightly and told him firmly "Who needs a knight in shining armour when I have a nerd and gay Sonic the hedgehog lookalike as best friends to help me?"

Magnus laughed and ruffled my hair which caused me to duck before Ragnor appeared at the door and asked "What are you three doing?"

All three of us shrugged in reply before we grew more serious and we sat around the round table which Simon and Magnus skipped over to singing "We're the knights of the round table!" as they normally did whilst me and Ragnor followed them a little more seriously.

As we sat down I asked "So what information do we have?"

Ragnor began to speak quickly, as he handed us the same file as before but this one was slightly thicker than what we'd had at lunch "He goes by the name James Roth, he looks roughly around eighteen, and he has bright blue hair, bright green eyes and a birthmark of a raven on the back of his neck."

I nodded and studied the picture of the boy carefully; he was fairly handsome, his green eyes matched well with his blue hair.

Simon noticed my eyes scanning the photo and he sighed dramatically "All the hot ones are either gay, taken or murderous demons aren't they?"

I elbowed him in the ribs but didn't reply to him as I asked "So when am I going out?"

Magnus answered quickly "Well tomorrow me and Ragnor are going to follow him with the help of Simon and keep notes of his daily routine. Then on Wednesday we'll dress you up a little and make sure you two meet and start talking and he'll hopefully ask to meet with you tomorrow, then Thursday you two will meet up and chat some more and then at the end he'll ask you to go clubbing with him on Friday which is when he'll make his move on you and then you kill him and case solved."

I nodded and said "Is the undercover profile ready?"

Simon shook his head and said "I've only just started it but I'll be working on it during the night and then taking tomorrow off school so I can sleep a little and also help Ragnor and Magnus. So we'll be giving you a lift first thing tomorrow and giving it to you then."

Again I nodded before saying "Good, I'll read it through at break and lunch tomorrow and then we meet here again and you guys can test me on it to make sure it's all good."

Everyone nodded and I said "Awesome, now who's up for pizza and a film?"

Both Simon and Magnus got up, ran towards my sofa and cannonballed onto it.

Ragnor rolled his eyes before he said "Have fun you three, I'm off to meet someone."

Magnus grinned and asked "Oooh is it Stella?"

Simon frowned and said "I thought it was Sonya."

Ragnor was now glaring at them and he told them firmly "One her name is Sophie, and two yes I am meeting her for dinner."

Magnus and Simon howled with laughter whilst I rolled my eyes and told Ragnor "Have fun with her Raggy, and good luck."

Ragnor gave me a mock salute before he walked out of the apartment and shut the door behind him.

I moved towards the sofa, which caused Magnus and Simon to move out of the way and leave me some room in the middle and I grinned as I told them "You always do that."

Magnus replied with a smirk "Hey sweetheart, I've seen what you can do to a demon and we're only humans here love and the thought of what you could do to us is terrifying."

I grinned and said "Just pick a movie already, whilst I cook the pizza."

Around ten minutes later I came in with three plates and let Simon and Magnus take theirs before I settled down in-between them and asked "Which movie?"

Magnus grinned as he pressed play "Mission Impossible three."

I rolled my eyes and said "Typical."

Simon ruffled my hair playfully and said "But you love us anyway."

I smirked and replied "Of course, I'd be lost without my nerd and sparkly hedgehog friends."

Magnus opened his mouth to say something but I threw a cushion at his face and joined in with Simon's laughter before all of our attention went to the film as it began to play.

Jace's point of view

As soon as we got in, Maryse began to interrogate each of us one by one.

Max was happily telling anyone and everyone who would listen about his day, Alec spoke a bit about his lessons and some of his friends, I spoke about the football team offer and a little bit about my lessons, Izzy however just shrugged and mumbled about being tired and going to her room.

Once Maryse had finished with her questions, I went upstairs planning to head to my own room.

But then I heard quiet sobs coming from Izzy's room so I quietly knocked on the door and called through "Iz? It's Jace."

Izzy's voice sounded irritated as she yelled back "Go away Jace!"

For a moment I debated on entering her room anyway, but then I remember the last time I did that I got a pair of scissors thrown at my face, and decided not to but I did call back "Okay I'm going but if you need to talk to anyone I'm only down the hallway."

Izzy didn't reply to that, not that I had expected her to, and I finally went into my own, plain white room which still had tons of unpacked boxes in it.

With a sigh I slowly began to unpack a few of the boxes until Maryse called everyone down for dinner where Robert asked the same questions as Maryse did earlier, and earned the same response from each of us.

Izzy barely looked any different from when she did earlier, maybe her eyes were slightly puffier but other than that it was barely noticeable that she'd been crying only around an hour beforehand.

As if she knew what I was thinking, her dark eyes met mine and had a small look of worry in them, until I shook my head slightly and then she nodded back before we carried on eating again.

After dinner, Max and Alec took the plates into the kitchen and began to wash up whilst Maryse and Robert went into the living room, which gave me the moment to get Izzy to talk to me.

By the time I worked out some smart plan, Izzy was already halfway up the stairs.

I mentally cursed myself but then I had an idea and called to Izzy "Hey Iz, I'm coming to get you."

Izzy half screamed and tried to run upstairs faster but being a quarterback star on a football team doesn't just come in handy for football, it also helps when chasing your sister up the stairs and grabbing her and pinning her to the floor.

For a while Izzy tried to escape before she said "Dammit Jace, how old do you think we are? Twelve?"

I grinned and told her "And a half."

Izzy tried to glare at me but failed as she began to laugh at me.

For a while we stayed like that but then I asked her "Why were you crying earlier Iz?"

Izzy looked away before saying "It's nothing, just something stupid."

Somehow I could tell she was lying and Izzy seemed to know that as well but I still stood up and helped her up and said "If you say so, but if you change your mind you talk to me okay?"

Izzy nodded and said "Yes sir."

Alec now appeared and asked "Everything alright here?"

Both me and Izzy nodded and said in sync "Yeah, we were just talking."

Alec looked at suspiciously before saying "And you two managed to have a conversation without yelling or attempting to kill each other? Wow this is a day to be marked down in history."

Izzy stuck her tongue out at him whilst I said "Oh Alec, why would I kill my dear little sister when I can give her big hugs?"

The horror on Izzy's face made me and Alec laugh loudly and eventually Izzy joined in with our laughter and even after we stopped and disappeared into our separate rooms, the sound seemed to linger there and comforted me as I carried on unpacking the last of my things.

Clary's point of view

By the time the movie had finished Magnus was fast asleep and Simon's attention was mostly on my undercover profile and I was finishing off my history homework.

I yawned and stretched my arms and back before I turned to Simon and asked "You guys staying here?"

Simon glanced at Magnus, who was currently curled up in a ball, before he said "Yeah, Mags drove us up here so we wouldn't freeze but I guess that he's currently unavailable."

I nodded before standing up and fetching some blankets and throwing one over Magnus, careful not to wake him and then passing Simon the second and I told him firmly "You better get some sleep when you're finished Lewis, your mum might murder me otherwise."

Simon waved a hand dismissively at my words and replied "Sleep is for the weak Fray, I can sleep when I'm dead."

"What if you become a Vampire? Then you'll never be dead." I responded with a small smile.

"Vampires have no pulse, so they're dead. Plus they don't actually exist Fray." Simon told me with an eye roll, though his eyes never actually left the computer screen.

I grinned and ruffled his hair as I moved past him and I said "Yeah but if Vampires are already dead, why can they still be killed?"

For a moment there was silence in the room except from Magnus' odd snore whilst we both considered my statement, but then Simon said "I swear to god that you come with the weirdest stuff at night Fray."

I agreed "I think it runs in my family."

Simon laughed with me that time before saying "Go to bed Fray, killing the demons takes up more energy than writing undercover profiles for you."

I ruffled his hair again and said "I meant what I said earlier though; I would be lost with my nerdy kickass with a computer friend and my gay Sonic the hedgehog look alike friend."

"And we'd be lost without our badass at demon butt-kicking assassin." Simon replied, his eyes once again focused on the screen in front of him.

I grinned and said "Yes you would." Before ducking to avoid the badly thrown pillow that came zooming at my head.

Simon muttered something that sounded a lot like "Dollophead."

As I walked off towards my room I called behind me "Night Lewis."

When there was no reply I looked behind me, my hand already on one of my many concealed daggers, only to find that Simon was fast asleep already.

I shook my head at him before I walked over and carefully moved the laptop off his lap and then took his glasses off and placed them on the table next to him, before throwing his blanket over him.

Then I studied my two friends carefully before I nodded to myself and walked into my room again.

I shut the door behind me as quietly as I could before changing quickly and then diving under the duvet.

Though I was tired from waking early this morning, it still took me a while before sleep finally grabbed me and dragged me down into the world of nightmares yet again.

AN: And that my fellow readers is the end of the second chapter, and once again I apologise for how long it takes me to update and if you have time then I'd appreciate it if you could review, and as I probably won't be updating too soon Merry Christmas or anything else you guys may say to each other due to different religions and other stuff, and I hope you have a good time.
