Thanks to all who have reviewed so far…..glad you like it!
Here is the second chapter…hope you enjoy!
Once again I do NOT own these characters they are owned by the amazing Cassandra Clare!
She's grinning…that's a good thing.
Clary grinned and said "A picnic? It's a little late for Central Park, don't you think? It's full of…"
Waving his hand Jace says " Faeries. I know."
How does she know that Central Park is full of the fair folk? Did I tell her that?…. Perhaps Hodge told her….. Izzy?….. Wow I have never been this close to her before….she smells sooooo amazing…..and her hair looks sooo soft and touchable…. I can imagine myself tangling my fingers through it…Focus Jace….FOCUS shes talking to you.
"I was going to say muggers," Clary said "Though I pity the mugger who goes after you."
Wow she thinks of me as strong….but of course she does,…. I mean look at me…. Who wouldn't be impressed.
"That's a wise attitude, and I commend you for it." Jace said, looking gratified. " But I wasn't thinking of Central Park. How about the greenhouse?"
"Now? At midnight? Won't it be…dark?" Clary said sounding slightly terrified.
As sick as it is I love the way she looks when she seems scared…..sooo sweet, innocent, and ….vunerable.
Smiling Jace said. "Come on. I'll show you."
Excitedly Jace directs Clary through the many rooms and corridors of the institute on the way towards the roof. Clary seems a little intimidated by the darkness of the rooms and the shadows that the moon casts over the countless pieces of furniture covered by white sheets.
I can't believe she is coming with me…but why wouldn't she?…..she looks a little scared of how dark it is around here at night….maybe I should grab her hand to reinsure her… make her comfortable…Damnit Jace get ahold of yourself…What is she?…. Nothing really just a "could have been shadow hunter" raised as a mundane which in turn makes her nothing more then an ordinary girl….plain old human girl….nothing truly special….but she is special…..Why cant I just get over these feelings I have for her?…. What are these feelings?….I've never experienced them before…not like this anyways….What is this power she holds over my mind?….And lets face it…..over my heart.
Finally reaching the greenhouse Jace reaches and opens the door, watching closely at Clary's reaction he is pleased to see her close her eyes and inhale deeply as the amazingly sweet scent hits her for the first time. Jaces closes his eyes for a very short second inhaling deeply as well hopeing to share in that experience with her. He watches her as she enters.
Just look at her…she is soooo beautiful in this light being cast from the ever glowing moon and lights from the downtown of Manhattan. She looks overwhelmed and excited to be here. I did right with the decision to bring her here…she loves it…. But of course she does I thought of it myself didn't I.
"Wow" Clary says as she turns slowly around and around taking it all in. "It's so beautiful here at night."
Not as beautiful as you…. You deliciously gorgeous lil ball of flames…so sweet and innocent…. yet sooo strong and independent…God what is it that keeps me wanting to come to you…that keeps me wanting ….wanting…wanting to be with you…..to hold you…to protect you….Damnit Jace stop daydreaming…..she is nothing special just another girl in the long line of others.
Grinning Jace says "And we have the place to ourselves. Alec and Isabelle hate it up here. They have allergies."
Did I just say that to her? Oh god Jace keep it together!"
Shivering slightly Clary says "What kind of flowers are these?"
Damnit course she'd ask me something about flowers. I mean look at me do I look like the kind of guy you find nose deep in a botany book?
Shrugging and strategically sitting down next to the bush that holds the midnight flower Jace says "No idea. You think I pay attention in botany class? I'm not going to be an archivist. I don't need to know that stuff."
"You just need to know how to kill things?" Clary asked.
Bingo baby…. Wait is she staring at me?… No she isn't staring at me….No wait she is…but honestly who doesn't stare at all this perfection…..But then again I seem unable to stop myself from staring at her either.
Smiling Jace says " That's right."
Jace then takes out one of napkin wrapped and slightly squished packages containing one of the sandwiches he made and hands it to Clary.
"Also" Jace tells her. "I make a mean cheese sandwich. Try one."
Clary smiles reluctantly and sits down across from him and shivers.
Shit I should have brought a blanket…she's already cold it seems and now she has to sit down on the damp cold floor of the greenhouse… and she's wearing those tiny little thin shorts…..so much with being thorough.
Reaching back into the bag Jace pulls out some apples,a bar of fruit and nut chocolate, and bottles of waters.
"Not a bad haul." Clary says as Jace hands some of them to her.
She seems impressed… that's a good thing…I think. The things that this lighting does to her face….wow I knew shewas amzing before but know with this lighting..she seems almost unreal…like she has been sent straight down from heaven..straight down just for me…..Jeez Jace get a grip…*exhales deeply*
Reaching into one of his many jacket pockets Jace retrieves the bone handled knife that always keeps on him…*just in case*… and picks up an apple and begins to cut it into eighths.
"Well, it's not a birthday cake," he says as he hands her a piece " but hopefully it's better than nothing"
Oh Clary how I wish I had a cake for you…if I could I would climb up to the sky and pull down the moon for you…I would give it to you in hopes that you would never again find yourself alone and afraid in the darkness of the night… I swear to you Clary…my mysterious beauty..the one who has captured my heart and soul…that I will never allow anything to touch you…hurt you…make you sad….I will never allow you to be lonely or be made to cry…. I swear to you now Clary that I will make you happy again …..I will bring you your mother back. My father always told me that Love is a bad thing…it makes you weak….and I cannot afford to be weak….he said it destroys…..and he's right….I have no willpower to fight these feelings off anymore… but I can't find it in myself to tell you….my beautiful Clary…what am I to do?
OK folks I hope you enjoyed this my second chapter and there is more yet to come….please review and tell me how it was!
