Chapter 2

This girl

Jace POV

I watched her walk in to her house turn on the light and seen that she was going up the stairs I waited for the light for her room to be turned on so that I knew what one it was and looked around for a tree or something I could sit in. I found one and climbed up with ease. When I looked in to her window she was already changed and from the looks of it she was crying.

For some unknown reason I wanted to barge in there and offer a shoulder to cry on and demand she tell me the problem. But I decided that would be a bad idea. She grabbed what looked like a Sketch book of sorts and sat in her window. She was texting I'm guessing that guy Simon. The next I know she is throwing her phone across the room and screaming.

"What the fuck is wrong with me, god I am so weird now even Simon thinks I'm a freak. What am I missing." She made another frustrated scream and went to her piano bench and left her sketch book forgotten on the window ceil. Lucky for me it was still open. I climbed closer to her window being careful she didn't see me and scoped it out.

"OK now this is weird"

She had pictures of runes well that's what they looked like but I have never seen any of them before. And she drew them on a back coming down from the base of a neck to the bottom right before a butt would stop. But they weren't in a straight line or anything the curved and swirled almost like a snake. I quickly took my phone out snapping as many pictures as I could.

Clary her name was! Well Clary I think you have got some serious explaining to do. This girl is weird I don't know what to think about her I mean in every way possible she looks human a regular mundie. But then why is she drawing unknown runes and punching full grown men in the face?

She was playing a soft melody on her piano over and over again. Changing it more a little each time she played it back I had to admit she was good. Then she began to sing. I couldn't help but get mesmerized by her voice was like angel bells. I took my phone out and recorded her singing for later listening.

The song was sad yet powerful at the same time it was about a girl whom I assuming was her. I leaned into the tree and listened carefully to the tune careful to catch every word.

THIS GIRL

[Verse 1]

There's a girl livin in this town
She's got her head up in the sky
But her feet are on the ground
There's a girl livin on my street
She knows outside her little world
Somehow ends are gonna meet
And when the road gets kinda rough
She keeps one thing in mind
The longest journey always starts
With one step at a time

[Chorus]
And this girl's seen a lot of pain
But this girl's gonna smile again
She knows that a flower grows everytime it rains
And this girl's got a lot of dreams
She knows that tomorrow ain't what it seems
She might not solve a mystery tonight
But this girl's gonna be alright

[Verse 2]
There's a girl walking in these shoes
And she knows that everythings she got
Is all she's got to lose
There's a dream right behind these eyes
And she finds a reason to be strong with every tear she dries
Being hard to fight the way things are
So she leaves the world behind
When the sound of doubts turned up so loud
She turns the music up inside

[Bridge]
She knows it's so much she's never seen
But time will allow her to find out what it means

[Fading]
Alright, alright
But this girl's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright, alright
But this girl's gonna be alright

She let out a giggle and sighed.

"Well I think it's as perfect as it going to get." And then she went to her bed pulled the colors down and drifted off to sleep. I sat there for another hour and then went back to the institute. With a certain lil red on my mind.

At the Institute

"Hey church where's Hodge at?" I asked the cat as I walked out of the elevator doors.

"Meow" the cat wined and the trotted down the hall towards the library. When we got to the door. I heard Alec and Isabel in there also.

I pushed the doors open and walked inside. Hodge was looking at some papers at his desk and the other two were spred out among the sofas.

"So what you guys doin?" I asked in a nonchalant tone.

"What do you mean what are we doing you have been got for almost 3 hours," Shouted Izzy.

"Really?" damn I was really gone that long hum.

"Yes so did you follow her?" Alec asked.

"Yes"

"So?"

"So what?"

"Oh come on stop being an ass"

"Well I found so weird interesting stuff to say the least."

"First of all the girl is nuts her and that guy got into a fight and she walked 8 blocks alone to her house, she was talking to herself about her night she had, ha-ha that was interesting to say the least, but it was like she knew she was being followed, I mean I had to do a lot of dipping and dodging to stay unseen, then we get to her house and well I don't really know what they are so I took pictures of them don't ask how I got them, but here take a look Hodge tell me what you think?"

I got my phone out and went straight to my pictures. Then handed him my phone. He attached it to his computer and downloaded them on.

"Well they look like runes on someone's back but I have never seen them before…did she draw these?"

"I think so I didn't actually see her but I'm pretty sure,"

"Well we need to talk to her and see what's going on, Alec and Isabel told me about the club so tomorrow I want you to find her and get her to come here"

"Umm ok sure why not ill go to her house in the morning and talk to her."

"Good now you three get to bed it's very late and you need your sleep"

All three of us nodded in agreement and went to our rooms to go to bed. I slipped out of my clothes only leaving my boxers on and got into bed setting my alarm clock for 8 she should still be sleeping by then I hope. Then I rolled over and went to sleep.

The Next morning

I woke to my god damn alarm buzzing in my ear. I groaned and got out of bed heading towards my shower. I took as quick shower and felt ten times better afterwards. Got dressed and went to go see what red was up to.

CLARY POV

I awoke with a splitting headache no doubt form the alcohol I had from the night before. I got up and went to the bathroom to get some Advil. I looked in the mirror and made a sigh I looked like medusa with my wild curls sticking out every what way. I swear my hair had a mind of its own. I turned the shower on and stripped down. I took an extra 10 minutes in the shower just to stand under the steamy water to let it relax my muscles. I can't believe I was going to be singing at the café today. I was so excited yet so terrified all in the same time. What if no one liked my song? Would they boo me? I should have let people hear it first…oh wells I guess we shall see. With that thought I stepped out of the shower wrapped a towel around my body and head then in to my room. I sat on the bed wondering what I should wear. I mean I was going to have everyone looking at me today so I had to look good. I picked through my closet and looked for something nice yet summery. After 20 minutes of sorting I decided on a white flowy sundress with a ruby red shrug, red strappy heels, and heart earrings, necklace, ring and bracelet to match well they didn't actually come together but they all were red and silver and had hearts so it went. I curled my hair in to big spiral curls. With a part on the side sweeping my bangs to the side. I put a light layer of eyeliner and mascara on but went with my red lip stain I wore last night. I felt a little over dressed but I didn't care at least I knew I looked nice it I was over dressed. I twirled in front of the mirror. I was satisfied so I went down stairs to eat a quick breakfast.

I turned the radio on and dance while making a bagel with cream cheese and coffee. My favorite song was on smile by uncle Kracker. I sang along while drinking my coffee and eating my breakfast. By the time I was done it was time to go to the café I grabbed my purse and headed out the door. Out of the corner of my eye I could have sworn I seen a flash of gold hair. I snapped my head around and seen nothing so I kept on walking. I pulled out my iPod and started listening to my fave playlist singing along almost skipping to the music. I giggled at what the people walking by were probably looking at. For some reason I felt good this morning, happy refreshed it was weird. But hey who am I to complain about being happy. I still felt as though I was being watched so I thought why not give them something funny to watch and what's more funny then a girl singing her heart out skipping down the street to her favorite songs.

JACE POV

She was singing quite loud skipping down the street with a breath taking smile on her face. It was as if it was contagious I couldn't help but smile also. She seemed to be in a very good mode which was a good thing since I had to convince her to come to the institute with me. I sighed wondering how in the world I was going to get her to even think about it but hey I loved a challenge. We finally stopped in front of a café called Java Jones. She took a deep breath as if to calm her and sauntered inside. I waited about 10 minutes and followed in after that guy who was with her last night along with a couple of others.

I looked for the most unobvious place and took a seat. She was nowhere to be seen I started to panic when I heard those guys speaking.

"Yo I can't believe Clary is going to sing here I mean I never thought she would…ha I guess a dare is a dare." Said a carrot top head kid. God he was ugly.

"Yeah I know right but I mean she's really good and that was the only was Simon over here thought he could ever get her to sing in front of anyone." A dirty blonde kid spoke.

"So Simon what happened last night did you tell her man?"

"No we got into a fight, she's still mad at me"

"Dude you gotta tell her soon its getting ridicules"

"Shut the hell up, she might hear you"

"Whatever man, how long till she's on?"

"In like five minutes"

"Oh"

So this Simon kid likes her but they aren't together. Good to know. I wonder if she is going to sing the same song she did last night?

Finally after what seemed like forever she came out on stage and sat in front of a piano.

"Good afternoon everyone, my name is Clary and I'm going to be singing a song I wrote called This Girl…well hope you like."

Then she started her tune on the piano and in seconds her beautiful voice joins in.

THIS GIRL

[Verse 1]

[Bridge]
She knows it's so much she's never seen
But time will allow her to find out what it means

[Fading]
Alright, alright
But this girl's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright, alright
But this girl's gonna be alright

She got up and took a bow everyone was clapping and cheering. Wow that was better than last night I thought as she stepped off the stage heading towards the guys at the table.

"Hey umm Simon I was wondering if I could maybe talk to you about-" she didn't get to finish because her phone must have started vibrating.

She looked at the caller ID and said. "Oh it's my mom hold on Simon I'll be right back ok" he nodded and she walked out the back door into the ally.

I quickly ran out the front.

CLARY POV

"Hey mom Guess-"

"CLARY where are you honey?"

"Mom what's wrong are you ok?"

"I'm fine where are you?" she said in a rushed voice that sound scared.

"Umm I just got done singing the crowd loved in mom"

"CLARY listen to me honey do NOT go home at all go to Simons and stay there until I call you back and I mean it"

"WHAT? WHY NOT?"

"Just please honey listen to me I'm begging you it's not safe I'm sorry"

"Mom are you ok I mean you sound terrified?"

I never got an answer because I dropped my phone when I felt a sharp pain like needle in the back of my neck. I could hear my mom screaming my name and then falling into a pair of arm that smelled like trash. Then everything was black.
