Hi everyone! Sorry for the kinda long wait… School has officially taken over my life and not in a good way :( any ways... here's the new chapter!

*Disclaimer – I don't own the characters, just the story line :) *

Happy Reading!

Previously…

Jace looked at Sebastian with a hateful stare. He wanted to get to know the girl who took his breath away. He wanted her. And what Jace Lightwood wants, he gets. And Sebastian? Well Jace didn't even consider him competition; he was just in the way. Jace grinned as he saw the tiny redheaded fade into the distance.

Sebastian watched as Clary jogged back home. He suddenly noticed Jace was watching her too. No fucking way…He thought. This dude would not take his girl. He would take down heaven and hell to be with Clary, and he would do whatever it took to be with her.

Chapter 4 – All's Fair in Love and War

Clary jogged her way back to the house and walked in the front door to see Jonathan drinking a huge bottle of Gatorade in the kitchen. She walked over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle for her to drink. After her thirst was quenched, she turned to Jonathan to tell him the news.

"Hey Jon, we have new neighbors, they're Sebastian relatives, and they were wondering if we would like to have lunch at their house." Clary said quietly, recalling the last time she saw him they didn't have a very nice chat.

"Sure Clary, if that's what you wanna do. Mom and Dad went to town to pick up a few things and told us to get something to eat so we don't have to worry about them." Jonathan said with a kind smile. He knew Clary hated it when they fought to he tried to be extra extra nice to her, even though he was always nice to his baby sis.

"Thanks Jon." Clary smiled. "I'm gonna take a shower now and you should too. You smell bad…"

Jonathan grinned and then stepped up to Clary to give her a big hug. "Oh you know you love it when I smell like this!" he rubbed his sweaty head on her shirt.

"EWWWWW!" Clary squealed and laughed. She squirmed away and ran half was up the stairs and looks back at him to stick her tongue out which resulted in Jonathan having a good belly laugh.

Even though they didn't actually verbally forgive themselves and the other from what happened this morning, they knew that they just did. It is a strange connection that brothers and sisters have, but it works every time. Clary and Jonathan knew that, and they would go to the Lightwood's house without any grudges.

Clary showered in her bathroom upstairs while Jonathan showered downstairs. As Clary got out of the bathroom, she picked out a cute outfit to wear. She wanted to make good first impressions. She pulled her drawer open and picked out her white panties and matching bra. Then she fished out her floral sun dress. Clary didn't wear dresses often, but she had this strong urge to wear one today. She walked up to the vanity table and checked her attire. Thank goodness that Clary's hair always came out great after washing it, and not looking like a hot mess of red hair on her head. Jonathan's clothing choices were a bit simpler. He knew that the kids that were moving in were his age so he decided to dress cool with a grey V-Neck T-Shirt that showed off his lean muscular body with some baggy skinny jeans and his Nike's. He wanted to intimidate the guys and impress the ladies.

Jonathan decided to drive to the Lightwood's house. They got into his sapphire blue corvette with a thick black racing stripe down the middle (my favorite car in the whole wide world!) with Clary in the passenger seat. They sped down the street and parked in the driveway.

Jace was waiting by his bedroom window on the second floor watching when the tiny redhead arriving. He didn't know why he was waiting for her but he needed to see her, he felt and strong pull to the girl that he didn't understand. He watched at Clary got out of the car and made her way to the door. He smiled at the way she dressed, cute and happy. As he was just about to walk down to greet the guest he saw Sebastian open the front door and ran to give Clary a big hug. What the hell? Way does she see in that douche bag? Jace hated that Sebastian was touching his girl. Wait… His girl? Oh my god. His mind was screaming at him. She would be the end of him. Jace decided to play the cool card so he strolled down stairs with his "I don't care" face. But as he reached the end of the stairs, his face couldn't help to break into a small genuine smile. He saw Clary and Jonathan walk step through the door with her flaming hair blowing in the wind a bit, and her green gem like eye twinkling with happiness. To him she looked like an angel. Jace wanted her to be his angel.

Chapter 4 – All's Fair in Love and War

As Clary walked into the Lightwood's house, she saw a golden angel at the bottom of the steps, smiling at her. She couldn't help but feel warmth spread through her body making her feel like in complete bliss. She couldn't help but stare into his beautiful god like golden eyes. Did she like him? No way, she just met him like an hour ago….

Sebastian had this strong urge to hold Clary's hand as she walked into the house. He wanted to claim her as his, but he knew Clary wouldn't like that. He wanted to respect her but he wanted to kill Jace for looking at his girl like that. Sebastian wanted Jace to leave them alone. But getting with Clary was becoming a freakin' long process, one he hope to speed up.

Jonathan, Clary, and Sebastian walked up to Jace at the bottom of the stairs.

"IZZY! Jon and Clary are here!" Jace shouted. He wanted more people here, the more people, the more they won't notice him stealing the redhead away.

"Clary! Jon! You made it!" Izzy walked from a hallway like tunnel system, leading to what seems like a million other rooms. "Clary… Let's go upstairs to my room, you can't do to lunch like that with my parents…" Izzy said as sweetly as possible. "Jace, you fix up Jon!"

Clary blushed a violent red. She was so embarrassed that she was underdressed. "Oh god, I'm sorry! I didn't know we had to dress up!"

"Don't worry" Jace said with his world-famous, girl fainting smirk, "Izzy would have given you a make-up even if you did dress up."

Sebastian shot a death glare to Jace. "Clary doesn't need make-up to look beautiful Jace."

"We can all see the fair lady looks gorgeous as is, but considering we're going out to lunch with Izzy, she won't have a choice." Jace snapped back. How dare he think he would ever insult her.

"You guys make me sound like such a drama queen!" Izzy rolled her eyes.

Sebastian and Jace started to burst out laughing. Even Jonathan couldn't hold his laughter in. He had just met this Izzy girl and he could tell Clary was going to run out of this place faster that lightening. Clary was a tomboy, and Izzy was well… not…

Izzy dragged Clary up to her room while Jace lead Jonathan to his room. Sebastian stopped Jace before he could enter his room.

"Back off of Clary man. She's mine." Sebastian growled. Jace needed to get into place.

"Oh so you're dating?" Jace asked in an amused voice.

"No, but..." Sebastian started but Jace cut him right off after hearing the two lettered word that he has hoping and praying for.

"Then all's fair when love is war my man. This is going to be fun." Jace grinned.

"Clary isn't a game dude, just back off before bad shit is gonna happen." Sebastian was pissed that Jace thought they were going to play a game for Clary's heart. There was no game to be played. Clary already had his heart, now he would just have to take hers.

"Oh Clary's not the game, she's the prize, the jewel, the gem, whatever floats you're boat." Jace rolled his eyes. Seb did not understand the fact that Jace always won.

"Hey guys, how nice do we have to dress?" Jonathan asked from inside of the room. Jace and Sebastian completely forgot about him inside Jace's bedroom.

In Jace's mind, a plan popped into his head. What would be better than stealing the best friend role from Sebastian? Jonathan was a cool enough guy from what he learned in the five minutes of meeting him. He was going to win Clary. And it didn't matter if he has to play dirty.

So what did ya'll think? A little bit more into the minds of Jace and Seb... I hope to update this weekend. But I just want to thank all of you guys who read and reply. It is a really great feeling :) OHHH and thanks for all of the opinion on who ends up with Clary ;) I have an idea of how you guys want the story to go so I hope I make you guys proud! :D

Lates!
