Fight for Survival

Hello! I've just thought, maybe I should add a chapter song. Would you like that? Hate it? Please tell me because I want to make it as realistic as possible! I'd also like to apologize for any mistakes in the last chapter.

I don't think this chapter will be as long.

I'm just going to base a few of my own characters on some people just to help you get the picture.

The sky was a dark grey, the occasional clap of thunder was the only noise heard and the crack of lightning light up the dreary sky.

I glanced down the abandoned street. No one was here. No birds, no dogs no nothing.

Then suddenly a flash of movement caught my eye. I ran to the spot where I had seen something. Nothing was there. I turned to look down the alley I had come to and gasped.

A little girl. She had matted, greasy blonde hair that hung by her face in a tangled heap. Her white dress was ripped and covered in red and black splodges near the bottom. It had long, white lacy sleeves and fell to the floor at her feet. Her eyes were black, like a bug's.

She smiled. It wasn't a friendly, nice to see you smile; it was an 'I'm going to kill you smile'. I shivered.

I recognized the familiar stench of a demon.

The little girl walked forwards. Every step seemed threatening. I backed away until she came into contact with the stone cold wall behind her. The girl stepped closer and bared her yellowy teeth. She looked at me and her teeth came towards me until-

"CLARY!" I sat forward, knocking heads with someone. I was drenched in sweat and now my head was really sore.

"Clary? Are you okay?" It was Jace. My breathing was fast. Too fast. I look calming breaths.

One, two, three…

"Clary?"

I nodded in response to his earlier question. He sighed and wrapped his arms around. I leaned into his chest, breathing in the familiar scent of Jace. I loved that smell.

"What happened? You started shaking. I tried to wake you but you just continued shaking until now…" His expression was a mix of concern and curiosity.

"I had a dream… that's all… " I replied making it sound as convincing as possible. He didn't seem to buy it but he let it go.

"It's 10 past 7…" He told me. I checked the clock and just like he said, the hands were pointing to 10, and 7.

"Oh," Was all I said. "I think I'll go and make breakfast… Before Izzy wakes up…" I smiled slightly, trying to lighten the mood.

"Okay. I'll be there in a minute. I want to wake Izzy up." He grinned and I rolled my eyes and headed downstairs.

I stopped in the doorway to the kitchen, staring at the 2 people occupying it. They both turned.

"Hi!" The tall of them said, smiling at me. She was a lot taller than me. Probably just a little shorter than Jace. Her hair was a golden brown had came down to her waist, her eyes were a warm chocolaty colour.

The other girl just smiled. Her hair was the same golden brown but her eyes were a light blue, a little lighter than Alec's. She was smaller than the first one but had the same high cheekbones. Her hair was short. Really short, like Jace's length, or Alec's.

"I'm Angelica." The taller on introduced.

"Ariana." The other one piped in.

"I'm Clary." I said. "Welcome to the Institute."

"Would you like some pancakes? We made them earlier, they're still warm though." Ariana smiled.

"Uh… okay… Thanks…" I said. I sat down at the table, which was already set, and yawned. My hand went to my mouth attempting to cover it.

The two girls came over with two huge stacks of pancakes.

"Help yourself!" Angelica said. Ariana grinned and grabbed three pancakes from the top of the pile.

"Ariana! Seriously? You're so greedy." Angelica muttered. I laughed slightly and took a pancake for myself.

"So are you two sisters?" I asked.

"Yeah." They said simultaneously. They looked at each other then laughed. I joined in.

"Where did you come from?" I asked.

"Florida." Angelica answered. "With Pablo, David, Will, Ed and Maesie."

"Are they all your family?" I asked. I only had one brother and he wanted to destroy the world.

"No." Ariana laughed. "Only Pablo. He's 13. He's at a bit of an odd age right now, always complaining."

"I did that too when I was 13." I said. Ariana giggled.

"So who are David, Will, Ed and Maesie?" I questioned.

"Our friends. They live in Ohio though." Angelica told me. I nodded.

"Stay away from Will. Apparently he and Maesie are a 'thing' now." Ariana warned.

"Okay… Well, I've got a boyfriend anyway…" I said. I took another bite from my pancake.

"Was it that golden haired boy?" Ariana asked.

"Ooh! He was cute. Not that I'd like snog him or anything." She added hastily.

"Yeah. That's Jace." I said. I looked down at my clean plate.

"I'm going to get dressed. If you want, you can come to the training room once you're done and we can train there. You can bring your friends too." I told them. They both nodded eagerly.

"See you there." I smiled a bit before heading to my room.

I let out a squeak when I was pulled down a corridor by strong arms.

"You made some friends?" Jace asked grinning. He pinned my arms to the wall behind me and kissed me.

"Yeah." I said in between kisses.

"That's nice." He murmured. My knees were going weak.

I pulled him down to my level and kissed him, my hands tangling themselves into his golden curls. His hands rested on the small of my back before traveling down to my hips where they stopped.

"I've… got… to… go…" I said breathlessly.

"Why?" He whined.

"To get dressed." I told him.

"Can I come?" He asked smirking.

"No." I told him. I kissed his cheek and left, deliberately swaying my hips.

"Claaaary!" He wailed from behind me. I laughed as I turned the corner and I ran back to my room locking the door.

I quickly changed before grabbing my stele from my bedside table and jogging to the training room.

This would be fun.
