Clary, The Lone Wolf
Chapter Two
Disclaimer: not anything MI-ish. It all belongs to C. Clare
Clary arrived at the institute prompty at 6 pm. She actually arrived 5:45 and then hung out around the corner so it wouldn't look like she was too anxious. As she entered the living quarters she found Maryse.
"Hi Maryse." said Clary.
"Hi, Clary. What are you doing here?" answered Maryse.
"Jace invited me over. I guess he must be in the kitchen, he said we were going to have dinner." said Clary.
"Oh Jace went out to Taki's. I'm sure he'll be back shortly. Go get yourself a drink and wait in the kitchen." said Maryse as she walked away down a long hall.
"Ok." said Clary more to herself. She found her way to the kitchen and found Alec rummaging through the refridgerator.
"Hi Alec." said Clary.
"Hi, whoever." said Alec, not even bothering to look up.
"Jace should be back shortly with food." said Clary.
"He will?" said Alex. "Oh, great, I'm starved. Call me when he gets here." said Alec as he left the room walking toward the library and the weapons room. Clary tried to remember it as she picked up one of Izzy's magazines. She looked up when she heard footsteps. It was Izzy.
"Oh hi." said both girls at the same time.
"jinx" said Clary. Izzy stared.
"Wha?" asked Izzy.
"It is what you say when two people say the same thing at the same time." said Clary feeling stupid sfter she explained.
"Rrrighttt." said Izzy. "That is why I am glad I'm a Shadowhunter and not JUST a people. What are you waiting for?" said Izzy.
"I'm waiting for Jace. He" said Clary before Izzy cut her off.
"Uh huh. Good. Call me when the food gets here." said Izzy as she took a bite out of a strawberry and left the room in three long strides.
Clary went back to her magazine. And nearly jumped out of her seat when Church jumped right up on the table right in front of her.
"Oh my gosh, Church. You scared me. What do yo want? Dinner? I am waiting for Jace too. When he comes back, maybe he'll have something yummy for you too." said Clary but Church was in no mood to wait so he sat right on top of her magazine so she could not read it any longer and turned his head away from her as if he was snubbing her.
"Alright, alright. There must be some dry cat food here somewhere." said Clary as she went in search .
Church sat right in front of one cabinet, so Clary took the hint and went over to it, opened it, and found the cat food. She gave some to Church and then sat down again. Half an hour must have gone by when she got up to stretch and that was when Jace came in.
"Oh, look who is early. Trying to ruin my surprise. Well, out of the kitchen now young lady." said Jace.
"Early, it is past 6:30 and you told me 6." said Clary.
"7 would be fashionably late." said Jace as he started unpacking some drinks and getting glasses.
"Are you hanging out with Alec and Magnus again?" asked Clary.
"Wouldn't you like to know." teased Jace with a wink.
"Every one is waiting for you to bring the food, so I'll go tell them you are back." said Clary.
"Every who? No way. Forget them. They are on their own. I only bought dinner for us." said Jace.
"Oh, I thought...my bad." said Clary.
"Quick to the green house. They'll never find us there." said Jace as they both picked up the bags and drinks and cups and practically ran out of the itchen before the aromas wafted down the halls and awoke everyone from their food deprived comas.
