THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED MY FIRST CHAPTER, IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.

ANYWAYS, HERE IS THE SECOND CHAPTER

Clary Morgenstern stopped running when she reached a lonely alley. Looking around to see that no one was following her or was near her, she took her stele once again and started to create a portal. Having not yet decided where she were to go, she decided to clear her mind and just step in so the portal can take her wherever it pleased.

Keeping to that decision, she cleared her mind of all thoughts and just simply stepped into the portal. Suddenly she found herself tumbling through open space. Next thing Clary knew, she was falling. Using her super advanced Shadowhunter skills; she turned herself to a position where she would land comfortably.

When she landed, she absorbed the impact with her knees and stopped in a crouching position. Moving into a standing position she silently observed her surroundings, she was in a bright city. She wasn't sure which but with all the big bright signs, thought she would soon find out through one of them.

She was still invisible to the world so she didn't worry about the streaks of dry tears on her cheeks or the gear and weapons she carried. But as reflex and habit, when she saw the first few people, she wiped her stray tears away and put her weapons away.

She turned a corner down one of the streets and came upon a long line, following it until she reached the beginning. There was a bouncer at the door, admitting people. She snuck in behind him-even though she didn't need to-and entered the place.

It was a club, with music pounding loudly all throughout the place. She followed a group of young teens into the washrooms than took out her stele. Drawing a rune to make herself visible, she stood in front of the mirror assessing her appearance. Her eyes were red from crying. She turned the tap on for the sink and washed the red marks that had appeared from the tears, off her face. After her face was back to its slightly freckled, pale self she dealt with her hair. It was in a fiery red mess and she didn't have a brush or comb to tame it. She decided to use her fingers.

Once she was satisfied enough with her appearance she sighed. She had to forget about what her father did to Jewel, and Jonathan's reaction. In fact, she had to just forget about today in general.

Her mind quickly flashed to Jewel making her eyes water once more. Her father once told her, to love is to destroy and to be loved is to be destroyed. She always thought he was over exaggerating with this theory and so she let herself love, let herself love Jewel. And as it turned out her father was right, she loved, was loved, and was destroyed. What was she thinking, loving a werewolf out of anything? Valentine was trying to eliminate all Downworlders, she should have known something like this would happen if she just let herself go. She remembered the first time her and Jewels kissed,

Flashback

We had known each other for several months, showing nothing but kindness to one another, always making the other one laugh at the smallest comment. As they became to know each other better, she started to let him in, behind her walls Valentine so carefully helped her build.

Jewel and Clary were sitting on top of a hill in the forest near his pack, leaning against an old oak tree. Jewel held Clary gently around the waist as he recounted stories about great adventures he used to go on with his parents. It started getting dark after a while and Clary snuggled against him for a little extra warmth.

He knew about Clary's father, she told him- just him. He promised not to tell anybody unless it was alright with her. She wanted, for so long, to tell him about her father's plans as well but was nervous he'd push her away at the discovery. She planned on telling him tonight.

"Jewel," she started softly, not quite sure how to say it.

"Yes, what may be one your mind this lovely evening," he was so calm and loving when he said it and she felt a little guilty for she was about to break that mood.

"I told you about my father, how he is and what he does and makes me and Jonathan do." She paused slightly and he nodded sweetly, urging her on. "But, I never told you about why he does it and his plans for me and my brother."

He turned slowly to face her, monitoring her expression. "No, but now that you mentioned it, I am curious. You can trust me Clary, you know that right?" She nodded. "Clary, you also know you don't have to tell me if you don't want, it's your life your personal life, not mine, its ok if you don't want to share it. I understand."

She shook her head. "I want to tell you, but promise not to freak out," she searched his eyes for an answer. He nodded genuinely curious as to what she was going to say. "My father, he has this thing about how Downworlder don't deserve to be on earth, to live at all. Me and my brother, we were experiments in a sense. My brother has demon blood in him, my father injected it into him before he was even born I think. Me, I have extra angel blood in me, more than a usual Shadowhunter. Because of that I can create new runes and marks. He wants us to help him kill all Downworlders, send them back to hell as he puts it. I have no input in what I can and can't do for that. I wish I didn't have to but I have no choice." She looked down into her lap and leaned away from him. "I'm supposed to eliminate all Downworlders with him, kill your kind." Tears started to roll down her face as she continued to look down, starting to fiddle with her fingers.

They were silent for what seemed like hours but was really only a few minutes. Both thinking hard and processing what Clary had just said. Then his arms were around her in a comforting embrace. He soothed her gently. "It doesn't matter to me Clare Bear, I don't care, and you're not your father. Sure he trained you and taught you but you're better than him. Look at me," she wouldn't have turned if it weren't for the tone in his voice. "I love you Clary Morgenstern. I wouldn't care if your father was an ego maniac scientist bent of turning everyone under the age of ten into purple unicorns and sending them onto Pluto. I love you"

To prove his point to her, he leaned in and put his lips against hers. It was sweet and gentle until Jewel built up the urge to push it a little farther. Then it became passionate, lips moving against each other in unison. He would have pushed it farther if Clary hadn't broken it, she pulled away, slightly out of breath but not completely.

"I'm here for you Clare," he whispered into her hair, kissing her neck gently.

She smiled at him and leaned back into his arms.

End of Flashback

She shook herself back from the memory, they had many nights like that and if she were to stay together and get a grip on life, she would have to stay away from those memories. She had to be strong and just have let herself loose tonight.

She had never really been to a club for the dancing before, always for the hunting and killing, maybe tonight could be a first. She smiled slightly to herself before checking her appearance once more and heading out to the dance floor.

She had been dancing-more like swaying-for around ten minutes when she moved off the dance floor and to the bar sitting on a stool. She ordered a drink with a little kick in it. Not enough for anything to get out of hand, just a little.

After the bartender returned with her drink, a blonde boy came and sat down beside her. She ignored him and focused on her drink. He was very attractive and she wasn't looking for someone right now.

"What brings a Shadowhunter like you here in your gear?" He asked just loud enough so she could hear him over the music. She was a little shocked that he knew what she was, but recovered quickly once she noticed the marks lining his arms.

"I needed to let loose," she responded lightly, turning back to her drink.

"I could help you with that. . .Hmm…I haven't seen you 'round here before, do you come to New York often?" So that's where she was New York. It made sense.

"No I lived just outside of Idris but I left that house and am now here in New York for a while, I think." He nodded.

"Have anywhere to stay?" she shook her head. "Well my adoptive mother runs the Institute here in New York so you're welcome to stay with us." Then his face turned into a cocky grin, "I'm Jace. Girls can't resist me and your no exception."

She rolled her eyes at him and finished her drink. A dark haired beauty ran up toward Jace followed by a boy who clearly appeared to be her brother.

"Jace, there are no demons here tonight, let's go back and I can make us some dinner. Wait, who's this Jace?" She asked noticing Clary beside Jace.

"You are not making dinner, I don't need any food posining and this is . . ." he trailed off.

"I'm Clary," she was unsure of what last name to use, they would surely recognize Morgenstern. She decided to use her mother's last name and alter it. "Fray, Clary Fray. I, uh, I'm kind of new to this city been here for like an hour.

The dark haired girl just smiled, "Been in New York for an hour and already found her way to the Pandemonium Club, this is my kind of girl! I'm Isabelle Lightwood and this is my brother Alec," said pointing to the dark haired boy. He just gave a shy smile and the slightest motion of a wave.

Jace said, "I invited Clary to stay in the Institute with us for a while. It won't be a big deal since we have so many rooms in vacancy." And then he added, "Not like she'll need a room of her own of course, since no girl can resist me."

This time Izzy rolled her eyes, Alec blushed and Clary gently patted Jace's back, "Don't get your hopes up, there's a first for everything."

Izzy laughed loudly, "First time a girls ever said that to you, isn't it Jace?"

"Shut up Iz, maybe not yet, but she will." Jace defended.

Alec , now back to his normal color and not the slight shade a pink he wore recently, spoke, "Let's just get back to the Institute please."

"Very well, lead the way All Mighty One," Izzy said bowing sarcastically towards Jace.

"I will," Jace replied, his head up high. He started moving forward.

Isabelle asking me questions the whole way there.
