Jace POV

When the cute little red head had beat both Izzy and Sebastian in a row, I knew I had to beat her. I thought she was going to be totally spent from taking on Izzy, but then she demolished Sebastian the same way.

This chick could not be real! So after the fight I walked right up to her, looking her in the eye.

"About time he was shut up. But I'm next, and I won't be as easy as Seb."

I thought this might even intimidate the girl, but no! She just shrugged and rolled her eyes.
""Don't be so cocky, I beat Izzy and she was decent, what makes you think you won't be next?"

I didn't know what to say, so I said the first thing that popped into my mind.

"Izzy isn't decent she's one of the best." I thought this might shut her up, but she just snorted, smirked, and rolled her eyes at me.
"Looks like the best just got bested."

And with that she turned and walked out of the fighting dome. There was a ten minute period to take a break, so she probably went to go get water.

She came back within five minutes and pointed at me.

"Your going down blondie. I don't care if you put your whole life into this fight. I'm going to fight and finish you then, maybe I'll get to go home."

Ah, so that was why she was being so ruthless. She didn't want to be here. Well, that was clear when she complained through the whole process of describing what we were.

"Your not going to finish anything red, you can count on that." And with that the dome's doors closed indicating that we were to start fighting.

I expected her to come straight for me, as she did with Izzy and Seb, but instead she just stood there.

I noticed something, then, she was swaying. It looked like a drunk person who had had way too much to drink. Except, we all knew she couldn't be drunk, she was too fast.

Her eyes rolled back to her head, and she dropped. I rushed over to her, but the dome's doors didn't open.

What the fuck Hodge?! Are you watching this?"

I walked up to her and knelt beside her, trying to see if she was breathing. As I put a hand to her neck, her eyes snapped open, and she grabbed my arm, flipping me onto my back.

She twisted my wrist, and I screamed out in pain.

She pressed on my back with a heeled foot, and moved it slowly to the top of my spine.

"I'm going to let you get up, and you better fight, because I'm not going to be goign easy on you."

She let go of my now burning wrist and I got up. I was going to beat her, I promise you that. She was just standing there, two feet away from me.

"Let's do this Jace." She snarled my name and I charged at her.

With my fist raised I went to go punch her, but she caught it, and gave me a swift kick in the stomach.

I growled, I was NOT going to be beat by this short redhead.

And so, we went back and forth, me only hitting her occasionaly, until I heard the dome doors opening and I turned around.

Bad choice. Like I would have done, she hit me in the head, but then stopped with the blow.

"Simon!" She yelped. She ran over to him and hugged him tightly, kissing him on the cheek.

"Oh my god, can you get me out of here, these people are crazy!"

I rolled my eyes. She was the craziest out of all of us.
When Clary pulled away from the boy, I took in his features. He had brown hair and glasses and a nose that made him look like a rat.

"Come on Clary, it's almost one in the morning, Jocelyn will want you home by now."

I froze when I heard that name and quickly did the math in my head.

"Yeah, Luke is gonna have my head. Imagine the punishment I'll get from them." Clary and rat face shook their head and laughed.

I thought about the shadowhunter, that was missing. The one that had red hair and ran away with a man.
The woman who was pregnant exactly 17 years ago.

"Clary, how old are you?"
She snorted but still answered me, "I just turned 17 why?"

I shook my head. "No reason." I couldn't tell her my insane conspiracy theroy.

I needed her to trust me first.

So, I know this chapter is super short, but I just hope yall like it. Leave some reviews, and I'll write some more. I of course will not tell you why Jocelyn ran away, but who did she run away with? Luke or Valentine?
