Isabelle's POV

"So did you find Clary?" Alec asked as Izzie walked past him in the foyer.

"And Jace. I swear everytime I see them they're going at it, like come on!" Isabelle exclaimed I was going to take Clary out shopping before Jace wanted some alone time with her."

"Ok that was more detail than I wanted." Alec retorted looking down at his feet, But Izzie smirked.
"Oh and what about you and Magnus." Now Alec's cheeks were blazing.

"That's none of your business." Alec muttered, his face still staring at the ground. Izzie went to open her mouth again, when the doorbell to the institute- which in all actuality sounded more like church bells- went off and Alec escaped the moment to go answer it, Isabelle following behind.

"Mom wasn't expecting anyone to come while her Dad and Max were in Irdes where they?" Alec asked as he approached the front door and threw it open.

Standing before them was a man, clad in olden day Shadowhunter gear, around the same age as Alec, maybe a year younger, with dark brown hair and piercing green eyes. He glanced up and examined Alec and Isabelle before striding inside. Alec only had time to move out of the way before the mysterious Shadow Hunter trampled over them and ventured further into the Institute without another word. Alec and Izzie followed him as he rounded the corner and started heading for the guest rooms.

Further down the hall Jace and Clary just emerged from Clary's room, Jace looking slightly annoyed and Clary beaming. The mysterious Shadow Hunter stopped dead in his tracks, and stared at Clary.

"Kira?" The man asked, and Clary and Jace both turned to see the source of the commotion. Jace's jaw dropped, and Clary's curious look turned into one of recognition.

"Your...Jace…" Clary started, but now the Shadow hunter was sprinting towards Clary with amazing agility, swept her off of her feet, and kissed her.

Isabelle's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates, Alec's mouth dropped, and Jace snapped his jaw up, his face flushing, and stormed over to the man. Clary on the other hand was so confused by the turn of events that she hadn't really tried to move away from the Shadow Hunter that was kissing her, until Jace pulled the man away and decked him in the face, shaking his hand out as the Mysterious man stumbled backwards.

The man looked up at Clary for some sort of answer, but it was short lived as Jace tackled the man to the ground and attempted to beat him senseless, but the man did not oblige. He grabbed jace's first and hurled him off, and jumped to his feet preparing for the next attack.

"Stop!" Clary stated running to Jace, and holding him back, before turning to the other man. His expression was hurt, but Clary was more concerned with having Jace not attack the man who had just walked into the institute.

She pushed him back, until Alec had a firm grasp on his rabid brother, then turned to the man.

"Who are you?" Clary asked finally, and the man looked even more perplexed.

"Kira, you know who I am." The man started coming closer to Clary, but she took a step back.

"My name's not Kira; it's Clary, Clary Fra- Fairchild." Clary explained, but the man shook his head profusely.

"You must be joking." He tried again, but Clary took another step back.

"Please, what is your name?"

"I can answer that." Jace snarled through gritted teeth. "Shadow Hunter Michael Nightvale. He is the man from the story."

"That's not possible." Clary shot back. "I mean he looks the same, but…" Clary's voice trailed off as she returned her focus to Michael, who was glaring at Jace.

"Who is this poor excuse for a Shadow Hunter and why does he know my name if I have never met him." Jace nearly broke free from Alec's grip with that, but once he had calmed down slightly he answered.

"I'm Jace Lightwood, and you are a storybook character that I used to read about when I was young." Jace stated. "You're fiction."

"Clearly not, but as I can see you are a fanatic of mine, I'll let your actions side this time." He shot back, and Isabelle had to stifle a laugh.

"How would you react if some stranger came into your home and starting making out with your girlfriend." Jace sneered, as he jerked his arms away from Alec.

"I still don't know what your are getting on about." Michael started, putting his arm around Clary, wh tensed slightly. "Kira is my girlfriend."

Jace's face was as red as Isabelle had ever seen it, including the time he nearly massacred an entire pool of ducks in central park, and glared at Michael. Clary sild out from under Michael's arm and returned to Jace's side, entwining her fingers in his.

Michael nodded his head slightly. "I see how it is." Michael stated more to himself then to the group of Shadow Hunters before him. "I'll just have to win my Kira back."

"What?" Everyone but Michael stated simultaneously.

"Of course, I am still in love with Kira-"

"Um...My name is Clary." Clary interjected, and Michael smiled gently to her despite the daggers Jace was giving him.

"My dear Clary, I will prove to you that I am you're better in every way, and you will fall for me again." Michael took Clary's free hand and kissed it as he kneeled down slightly to meet Clary at eye level. Clary blushed, her face a brighter shade of crimson than her fiery red hair.

Michael turned to Jace, eye him for a moment then returned to Clary. "Though judging on my competition, it shouldn't be too hard to win back your affections for me." And with that Michael spun on his heel, entered an empty guest room and shut the door.

"What the hell is going on?" Alec asked Jace, who was glaring at Michael's door as if he looked hard enough, the pure hatred in his eyes would disintegrate the man behind the door.

"I have no idea."
