Chapter 2
War in Heaven
This wasn't how I thought I would die. The demon broke one of my legs and a sharp pain near my ribs kept me from moving. I used my seraph blade to protect me from any more advanced moves the demon tried on me.
I knew I wouldn't last five more minutes with this thing. I got to my feet even though the pain was excruciating. I swung the blade toward the demons torso. He dodged the move, he counter attacked by sending a crushing blow to my temple.
I wouldn't even be in this mess if I had found my matching socks. It sounds crazy I know but if I had found my socks I wouldn't be getting my butt kicked by some demon.
Earlier that day
I woke up with the sun rays shining brightly in my room. Before I could fully wake up something seemed to feel off. I dismissed the feeling. I went straight to the shower and after that looked for my favorite pair of Sponge bob socks.
But what I found was one sponge bob sock. I left my room irritated, I went to the laundry room and searched the dryer but came up empty. I looked through all of the baskets but found nothing.
I know your probably thinking to your self why the big deal, but those are my lucky socks and when I get a weird feeling I always wear them.
Today I definitely had a weird feeling, since the moment I woke up everything just didn't seem right. So on days like these I put on my lucky socks and everything ends up fine.
I left the laundry room more frustrated than when I went in. next logical place to check would be in Isabelle's room. I knocked on the the door impatiently. Izzy answered the door still in her nighties and with half open eyes.
"Have you seen my other sock?" I showed her the one sock I had. She looked at me then the sock. She made a sound like "Hump" then closed the door. I took that as a "no".
I went back to my room. I found a yellow sock that would suffice until I found my missing one. I laced up my shoes and threw on a jacket.
I left the institute early enough to catch the breakfest special at this little restaurant around the corner. I ordered a cup of coffee and the breakfast special I ate it hungrily.
Just when I thought I might have a decent day the devil walks in. Ever heard of the devil wears Prada well this devil wears Gucci.
His name is Ian Archer, since the first day we met he made it his mission to make my life a living hell. If he wasn't a Shadowhunter I would introduce my foot to his ass.
Everything about him seemed to be well organized, from his chestnut brown hair to his perfectly pressed jeans. Once he noticed me he walked over to were I sat.
"Clarissa, I'm surprised to see you here alone, where's your pompous friend?" He arrogantly spoke then sat down.
"Isabelle is catching up on some beauty sleep." I told him.
"Yes of course. I heard about your body count from the other night. I have to say I'm impressed." he spoke with a cocky smile. he's refering to the night Isabelle and i went to pandimonium.
"You'd be impressed if I showed you how to tie your shoe laces." He laughed half-heartedly at my statement.
But the truth is, Ian is some one you'd want to impress. One day he'll be a prominent member of the Clave ruling and redoing the accords every two years just like his father.
"Clarissa when will we stop with this silly banter, you know I want you." I gave him a little laugh. This was his thing, always trying to get me to go out with him but each time my answer has been no. he's very persistent and one day I probably am going to give in to him.
"Of course I know that Ian, but do you know I how I feel about you." I spoke.
"You can't resist me, and you love me unconditionally." he spoke. He waited for a reaction from me. I only gave him a cold unreadable face. I then whispered to him.
"Lets try more along the line of I hate your guts." I told him. The waitress came over to my table she had my bill.
"You mind taking care of that?" I asked him. I pulled my jacket on as I prepared to leave. at least it wasn't as cold as the other day.
"Sure any thing for you Clarissa." I got up and started to walk away but before I reached the doors I turned back around.
"And Ian tip your waitress."

I didn't want to go straight back to the institute, I had planned on walking a little. But my plans changed when my dad text me to get home.
I went straight to library. I found my mother and father talking to each other. They instantly stopped when they noticed me enter.
"Clary I've been looking for you all morning. We have about two weeks until Christmas and the shadow hunter's ball. We need to go out and find you a dress." I totally forgot about the whole ball thing. I didn't want to attend, but my mother has made such a big fuss over it, I couldn't deny her.
"Of course mom I didn't forget." i lied straight through my teeth
"Also this is sort of a debut for all young female shadow hunter's." she began to walk away.
"Wait a minute you never said anything about a debut. what is a debut?" I asked.
"Well it's a time when girls around your age are presented at a ball to let others know your at the age when you could get married." I started to cut in but she quickly spoke.
"Before you say one thing Clarissa I just want you to know this has been done for hundreds years. Even mundies do it. Well use to . . ." She trailed off. I took this as my opportunity.
"So you want to send me to some party to get married off . . . well you have another thing coming, I'm not going." I stormed out of that room.
One things for sure on December 25th I will not be at some ball dancing the night away. I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a Gatorade. I drunk it thirstily.
A hand touched my shoulder lightly. My eyes found Jace, just one look at him made my heart flutter. That was strange no one has ever done that to me before.
"Hey Jace." the words came out evenly.
"You want to get into some trouble?" he spoke coolly.
"Trouble, I don't look for trouble it usually it finds me." I eyed him suspiciously. He caught on to what I said.
"Are you calling me trouble?" he asked. I nodded. He bent down to my ear.
"Well Clarissa I'm going to be truthful with you I'm much more worse than trouble." I felt as if he had me in a trance. There's something about This boy I don't even know him but he's different.
"there's a little saying Izzy and I say."
"what?" He asked.
"It takes two to get one in trouble."
We both smiled mischievously. I knew in that instant we were thinking the same thing. 'If one of was getting in trouble it sure isn't going to be me.'

Jace had been very vague on what we were about to do. We left the institute in hurry I didn't want to run into my mom. After walking for a while I asked him where we were going.
"Don't you trust me?" he asked. Of course I did.
There was something deep down in us shadow hunters that makes us trust one another. I don't know if it's because we all share the angels blood or because we fight along side each other, but shadow hunters have no reason to distrust one another.
"Yes." on trust alone I followed Jace. We came to a dead end. The two buildings on either side of us were tall but the windows were boarded up.
"Just follow what I do." He told me. Before I could ask what he was talking about.
He ran then jumped to one side of the building then the other wall. He jumped back from wall to wall all the way up until he reached the roof.
I looked at him disbelievingly. How did he expect for me to get up there like that?
"Come on it's easy just try what I did." so I tried and failed miserably. I could her Jace laugh hysterically. That made me mad.
So I tried again and this time I made it half way up but my foot slipped. I fell back to the ground. This time I tried again I blocked everything out and only thought about making it to the roof. With that state of mind I made it up the walls and onto the roof.
"See it wasn't so hard." He spoke teasingly. I looked around the roof there wasn't anything but a door the that led into the building. Jace opened it and walked in. before I could cross the threshold I had that same feeling like I did when I woke up. Something about this place felt off.
"Jace wait a minute something doesn't feel right." It was so dark I couldn't even see his silhouette.
"Don't tell me your scared Clary?' He spoke from the darkness. Scared how insulting. All those foreboding feelings I've been having all day I dismissed them. no one calls me scared.
I carefully walked into the darkness. I placed my hands on the rail but I instantly removed them, my hands came back wet and sticky I could only think of it as blood. I pulled my seraph blade out I named it Gabriel it glowed to life in my hands.
"Jace where are you?" I called but he didn't answer when I came to a door and I went through. We were in some building that use to be an office. You could obviously see that no one has cleaned it in a while it looks like a place where homeless people stay.
"Jace." I called again but no answer.
I don't see any one, so I walked deeper into the room. The next thing I knew something hard crashed into the side of my rib cage. I fell to the ground but swiftly recovered.
I was face to face with a Eidolon demon. This is the type of demon that can change shape. And right now it took on the shape of a man.
But any shadow hunter would know from a mile away that this was a Eidolon demon only because of it's stench. The demon moved fast he swept my feet from under me then once I was down stepped down on my leg then broke it. I screamed out in pain.
This wasn't how I thought I would die. The demon broke one of my legs and a sharp pain near my ribs kept me from moving. I used my seraph blade to protect me from any more advanced moves the demon tried on me.
I knew I wouldn't last five more minutes with this thing. I got to my feet even though the pain was excruciating. I swung the blade toward the demon torso. He dodged the move, he counter attacked by sending a crushing blow to my temple.
I wouldn't even be in this mess if I had found my matching socks. It sounds crazy I know but if I had found my socks I wouldn't be getting my butt kicked by some demon. I was on the ground, the demon stood over me triumphant, he bent down to my level then spoke.
"filthy shadow hunter." His acid laced voice spit the words out.
If I had only found my sock maybe I wouldn't be in this mess. I started to drift off into unconsciousness when I heard a furious voice ring through the room. I suddenly thought if there was a war in heaven his voice would definitely be heard.
ok so that was chapter 2 please tell me what you think about the story, and review it keeps me writing.
