Chapter 2

CPOV

Still Brother Jeremiah's words were on my mind. Clearing my mind was harder to do than killing that demon that showed up at my apartment.

After about what seemed like an hour I decided to see Hodge; his sleep remedies always worked. Just as I was opening the door the handle was twisting its self. I flung the door open and there was Alec looking mildly surprised.

"Umm… hey Clary. I wanted to talk to you about the whole mission and vampires thing." It was the perfect time to lie my butt off.

I plastered on a fake smile. "Yeah it's going to be great right. The only bad thing will be school." Yup totally lying, I'm getting better at this.

Again with the surprised look.

"You shouldn't come!" His words were so blurted he sounded like he was shouting.

"Okay back up, I don't know what your problem with me is so grow up, and if you ever come in to my room without knocking again I will chop your balls off in your sleep, understand?" I was really proud with my threat and I must have sounded serious because his face turned a really pale white.


I was restless from my talk with Alec, after about an hour of just lying in bed I was desprate to see Hodge. I pulled on some slippers and put on a jacket.

It was pitch black outside so you couldn't really blame me for walking into something hard.

"Damn it!" I screamed not caring if I woke up everyone.

'Wow Clary chill, what's up?" It was Jace, but wow his chest is really hard!

"I can't sleep. I've been lying there for like an hour but still nothing." I couldn't see him but I knew he was thinking hard. But what about?

After a very long silence he said," How about I tell you a story." Suddenly I got the strange image of Jace as a babysitter reading Cinderella to a seven year old. It was a really wierd image but it was really funny.

I did want a story so I said yes. He told me the story,(A/N if you've read the 1st MI book you'll know it.)


Hope you liked it sorry it took so long.
