CHAPTER TWO : Dream
"Sometimes reality more beautiful than just a dream"
-Author-
Jace POV
Three tall shadows covered the wall building. His blonde hair got blown by the cold air of New York night. His shimmering gold eyes narrowed at the building in front of him. He walked straight to the big tall building. The building looked old and creepy, the kind you would expect to see ghost any soon you stepped inside it. For a second you would see it was just a big church across the street, but not for shadowhunter like them. The enormous building wasn't even purpose as a church. It was too big for only just a church, it has more multiple rooms than you expected.
"I can't believe you recklessly throw your blade like that! What the hell is wrong with that tiny brain you have Jace?" his step-sister flick back her long straight black hair. Her blue piercing eyes stared at him in disbelief.
Jace keep leading them through the long halls and into the elevator. "Well Isabelle, I'm trying to save your ass from getting bitten by that nasty demon." He grimaced as he punched the elevator door to close.
The girl pointed her finger to the other boy, who looked the older one in this group, "FYI Jace, Alec was the one who saved me! His bow served much better than your circus act!" Isabelle glared him. "And he saved yours so sorry ass too!"
Jace was about to open up his big mouth, trying to defend himself but Alec cut him before he could, "Talk about saving, we should save the arguing for later and start getting ready for the party now." He said as he ran a hand through his black hair, looking down at his sister eyes that mirrored him. Except that Alec blue eyes much more soft compared to Isabelle.
The elevator came to a halt and opened up to the long hallway. Jace glance at Isabelle who looks like she wanted to bite him right now and then he immediately stepped out from it, "Well my queen, I'm sorry if I no better use like your other servant. I shall see you later, after you cooled your head down." Jace smirked playfully. Isabelle nearly throws a punch at him if Alec didn't stop her.
"Oh, you're in trouble you fuck-!" Isabelle started to yell at him but Alec cut it again.
"Izzy, don't curse!" Alec stated and motion for Jace to go.
"I can't believe you let him-!..." Isabelle started to screech at his real-brother. Jace didn't wait any of that and jogged back to his room.
He didn't need Izzy to tell him how bad he was. He never fought this horrible since he got really drunk last month when he meet a certain pretty girl with beautiful green eyes and hot red hair at an awesome warlock party. He swore to the angel he will find her, and who would have thought it's so hard.. until now. He was so sure he saw Clary passed by when they fought. His mind got distracted so much he missed his aim to the demon. He even stunned for god how long until Alec pushed him to stab the demon that crept right in front of him.
Clary. The name brings back his odd dream about her. He doesn't know why, sometimes he dreamed of black and white picture of himself walking around on the deserted street. Wherever he looked around, there's no single being alive, just an empty dead city until she met a girl, always standing alone in the middle of the town, where's the clock tower shadow covering her. But whenever he reached to her side, she would turn around, and his eyes stayed on her quivering lips, never meeting her eyes, and tears began rolling down her cheek, down across her oval chin. Then when he looked up to see her eyes, the dream just fade.
He thought the dream was meaning for something. It keeps haunting him down even before he meet Clary. He was so sure it was Clary though. Because after he met her, the dream started to add more color to the black and white background. He saw the girl hair was red as flaming fire, just like Clary's.
He noted to himself to ask her phone number if they meet again. That would make it easier for him to search her.
Jace slammed the door closed and went straight to take a long cold shower. It was ironic. He just told Isabelle that she needed to cool her head when the truth is he was the one who needed it the most. The cold pouring water relaxed his tense muscle, his pounding headache faded, his sudden increase in his heart beat slower. It keeps his mind distracted for a blessing minute before he turned the shower off.
He grimily walked over to his closet and changed to his black jeans and a white tight fitting shirt before he wears his studded belt. When he was ready he picked up his black leather jacket and his phone then closed his door.
Jace walked or more likely dragged his feet to the library where they would always gather together to meet up. Hodge was there reading a book while Hugo- a huge bird- hanging by the window watching him.
Jace noticed Alec was sitting on the couch with his hands folded around his chest and Izzy mirrored his action, but instead of sitting, she was pacing in front of him.
They both were pretty dress up for the party, Izzy with her short blue glittering dress and match stiletto shoes, her silver bracelet hanging around her hand. Alec was wearing a tight black shirt and black jeans. His brown leather draped on the head coach behind him.
They all looked up to him when Jace stepped inside the room.
"Finally the stars arrived!" Isabelle sarcastic voice breaks the silence.
"Do you need my picture, autograph or something for that?" Jace smirked.
"I would love to take your picture when I'm done beating you up."
"Oh your welcome, I feel so loved."
Jace saw Alec stood up and sighed. He took his leather jacket in his hand telling Hodge they would be back later around midnight as Jace and Isabelle followed him silently outside the institute.
They hailed a cab to Brooklyn. It was The High Warlock party again but it much more like a gathering party, so they could dresses in semi-formal. And oddly Alec was the one who told them about the party despite he doesn't like to party a lot. He just silently hoping Clary would be there too.
As soon they stepped inside the big house, Magnus Bane walked down from the stairs with a smug smirk on his face.
"Ah I knew you would come." He said looking between Alec and Isabelle. Jace thought Magnus was referring to Isabelle as he doubted that flirty tone was for Alec. He just looked around didn't bother what Magnus said. He knew if Magnus harassed Isabelle, she could beat him herself. But he notice Alec feeling uneasy about it and Magnus waved his hand looking slightly annoyed.
"Enjoy the party, if you need something just come to me, I'll be around." He said and left them alone. Izzy dragged them to the bar and took the stool with Alec between them.
"Coke for me." Alec ordered but Isabelle stopped the bartender.
"Seriously Alec. We're going to have fun in here! It's a party for the love of Angel! " She cheered and told the bartender to give them Lemondrops.
"I wonder… how did you know this kind of strong alcohol?" Jace snickered at her. Isabelle, being her cheerful state, she forgot that she was mad at him before and smirked.
"I have my ways." She giggled after she drunk her drink in one shot.
"But you still underage." Alec stated.
"And you still an innocent little boy." She pointed out, then she leaned closer to Alec, whispering something that Jace couldn't hear, making Alec blushing deep red. So red that you could see it in this dimmed room.
"What are you two talking about?" Jace raised an eyebrow. "You looked like you just got your fucking first kiss." he beamed to Alec.
Alec stuttered for words and Isabelle giggling madly. Jace looked at them and thought they just gone crazy, too much drink perhaps.
After lots of many shots, Jace could feel he was induced by it. He stood up abruptly and blend into the crowds of dancing people. A blond fey tried to flirt with him but he passed through her as well a tall vampire woman before he saw that familiar red hair flowing through the crowd to another room. Jace pushed past anyone in front of him, making them yell or grunted at him. He reached the other side of the room and looked around again but couldn't find her.
He thought it was just his delusional, messing up his mind by confusing his dream with reality. But that's until she passed right in front of him.
Jace sneaked behind her and Clary turned around then stunned for a second. "Jace?" she said, shocked.
Jace grinned widely, "I told you didn't I that I'll find you Clary." he said in smug smile. He sounded like a two year old kid. He mentally scolded himself for being too much drunk.
Clary scoffed and rolled her eyes, "Yeah you pretty much right…" she said, amused.
She looked just like his fantasy of her in his dream and much more beautiful than he ever remember her before. He then noticed her eyes looked down.
Jace raised an eyebrow, "You're not happy to meet me again." He accused.
Clary looked up and met with his eyes. She probably saw the drunken haze in his eyes and she sighed. Jace lips twitched up slightly, looked annoyed.
He waved his hand, "Fine, I'm not gonna bother you anymore. I shouldn't have search for you too." He said offhandedly. Well technically, it was more like they bumped to each other rather than Jace found her.
Clary sighed, "I didn't say I'm not happy to meet you."
"Then why you look at me like I'm a boring doll display?"
"You're not that boring." She smiled, "You're just annoying." She mumbled.
Jace scoffed. "So what are you doing in Magnus Bane party?" he changed the conversation.
"Nothing.." she looked away from his eyes, "He.. invited me."
He raised an eyebrow, "Oh, he invited you?" he asked in shock. She just nodded, "So where's your vicious partner?" he smirked teasingly.
Clary ran a hand through her hair again, "He's not here." She said as she started walking towards the other room.
Jace followed her close behind, "You lost him?" he asked, confused.
Clary scoffed, "More like he lost me." She mumbled. When they walking around in the corridor, a guy ask them where's the bathroom and Clary pointed to downstairs.
"What are you doing in here anyway?" she turned around in the corner and headed to the balcony.
Jace raised an eyebrow as how well she knew this mansion. He shrugged, "Well Alec and Izzy want to come here. I just got dragged by them."
And once again Jace was thinking how odd it was Alec wanted to go to a party and let Izzy dress him up. Then Clary suddenly chuckled, "What's got into you?" He gave an amused look to Clary.
Clary gave him a wide smile in return which makes his heart skip a beat, "Nothing." She said again.
Jace scowled slightly, "I don't take nothing for an answer." He stated, crossing his arms in front his chest.
Clary mirrored his action as well raising an eyebrow, "It's not your of your concern to know… yet." She said.
Jace scoffed and shrugged his shoulder, "Alright, whatever you say missy."
Clary looked away and leaned her arms on the balcony fence, looking up to the night sky for a long time. Jace just stared at her, admiring the moment. He didn't notice how pretty she was. Clary was wearing a green button up dress shirt with no selves and the upper two buttons were opened, showing her black bra slightly. And she was wearing white tight skinny jeans and tall black high-heels. How amazing she looked with the night sky scene on the background and Jace was stunned for a moment there.
"What are you staring at?" Clary frowned.
Jace eyes widened slightly, "You.. you look..amazing." He smirked.
Clary just raised her eyebrows, looking surprised and looked away from Jace. He could see slight flush creep up her cheek. Jace grinned even wider as he went beside her.
But suddenly they could hear an uproar coming from the gate. Jace looked at the gate the same time as Clary went inside the mansion. He was surprised that the Clave burst through the gate to the mansion big front doors.
"What..-" he looked around, realizing that Clary wasn't there with him. He then ran back inside the mansion, into the party room, searching for Clary and his siblings.
All of the guest were screaming and scattered around the mansion, running around, heading towards the front door. Jace saw the shadowhunter under the Clave order were searching through the mansion. A big group was surrounding Magnus Bane, Alec, Izzy and Clary in the middle of the room. When Alec looking furious, Izzy looked like she was confused, Magnus looked annoyed, and Clary looked like she just got caught breaking her father car or something, Jace went behind the shadowhunter group, trying to get through.
"What in the name of the Clave are you doing in my house?" Magnus mocked.
"We got the order to restrain Magnus Bane from kidnapping an underage kid." One of them gave Magnus a sheet of glowing paper.
Magnus just glanced at the paper and scoffed, "You can't restrain me for letting a girl took a nap in my house." He said tossing back the paper to the shadowhunter guy.
"What?" Alec gaped.
"He's right. Magnus didn't do anything wrong." Clary agreed with Magnus. Alec gave her a shocked look and turned into curious.
The shadowhunter guy looked at Clary with narrowed eyes, "No, he kidnapped you from Mr. Morgenstern manor. That's how it reported."
Clary narrowed her eyes back at the guy, "No, I went here with my own free will. You don't have to arrest him if I go back to dad right?" she looked defeated but slightly pissed.
The shadowhunter guy glared at Magnus, and then he nodded. Jace tried to pass through the crowd but they won't budge and Clary got dragged away by them, "No…wait, Clary!" he tried to call her but she won't turn around and face him. He needed to go to her before he couldn't meet her again so soon.
Jace managed to pass the door but they already got Clary on the sedan as it drove off leaving him all alone with the dust all over him. He sighed mentally as he watched the car goes.
"Damn!" he cursed and regretting himself for not asking her phone number the first time they met.
