Chapter 4- No Way In Hell.


CPOV

I looked around the ally. The area was huge and it was covered with stacked up boxes. If we could just get behind some of them!

"Last chance. Where do you hide all your finds?" John asked sounding annoyed.

"You wanted to know where the painting was now you want to know where we hide everything? What is it that you really want Seb?" I asked turning around so I was facing him completely facing him. Aline spun around slowly as well.

What were they up too?

"If you must know, we need the ancient Chinese scroll that you girls found in China last year" John said slowly.

Aline looked just as confused as I was. Why would they want it? Aline and I hadn't even gone over it yet.

"Why is it so important?" Aline asked looking Seb straight in the eyes. I had a bad feeling. It must be important if they came for us themselves and didn't send their goons after us.

"You're not going to tell us anything, are you? Now either kill us or go on with your lives" I said back calmly. We needed a distraction, and we needed one NOW.

"No problem." Seb said just as the back door to the club opened.

The sound of the music poured out loudly. I looked up in time to see the Lightwoods come out too. Aline and I took that as our distraction. I punched John in the gut and swung my ankle underneath him. Aline elbowed Seb in the face and kicked his knee.

We both dove for cover. Behind the boxes.

Bullets rang out loudly as Seb and John stood up and shouted for us.

My shoulder throbbed at bit but I didn't bother looking at it.

I turned around to talk to Aline when I noticed she wasn't with me!

I was about to crawl over to the next set of boxes when someone landed behind me with a grunt.

Jace Lightwood. My day was just getting better and better.

He looked around for his brother and sister, I assumed they probably dove in the same pile as Aline.

"Look what the cat dragged in" I whispered to Jace. He shot me a look as he lifted his head above the boxes. He dove back down as bullets sounded again through the ally.

"You're one to talk" he hissed back.

I looked around. The ally was too bright. John and had their backs turned us now but if they looked the other way we were as good as dead.

"Do something useful and grab some rocks" I whispered at him as I finally found where the light was coming from.

A wire hung from the back of the ally with three light bulbs. John and Seb were standing in front of them.

Jace followed my gaze. His lips turned up in a bit of a smile.

"Pretty smart for a Fairchild." He said as he picked up a rock and handed it to me.

"Pretty good at following orders for a arrogant pain in the ass" I replied with a smile as I grabbed three more rocks.

I grabbed three of the four rocks and in one quick motion stood up and chucked it at the wall. They sailed right past John and Sebs heads. I quickly sat back down before they could see me.

"You missed us" John yelled.

" I wasn't aiming for you" I said in a sing song voice just as the rocks hit the Lights and the ally went dark.

"What are doing with the last rock?" Jace asked as I picked up the last rock.

"Something I wanted to do since I first met these idiots" I replied back.

I could just make out the outline of one of them, thanks to the street lights in the front of the alley.

I stood up swiftly and chucked it at one of them. I ducked back down.

"Did I miss you NOW?" I yelled with a smirk.

Jace looked like he was holding back a laugh. We exchanged a look and slowly crawled behind the next set of boxes where Isabelle and Aline were glaring at each other.

I shook my head and hit Aline on the back head. I motioned for to follow me. We crawled very slowly and quietly out the back of the ally.

"Your dead meat!" John yelled. I heard him kick some of the boxes in frustration.

We ran out of the ally quickly with the Lightwoods were right behind us. We all stopped to catch our breath.

"Well that was fun. And now it's time for us to say Buh-Bye" Aline said once again sending Isabelle daggers with her eyes.

"Same here Bitch" Isabelle said back.

"Slut"

"Ass"

"Jackass"

" Shut up both of you, " I said at the same time as Jace. We exchanged a look before turning back to our family members.

We left in different directions.

"I wonder what the Pain in the ass brothers want" Aline asked as we walked in the door to the house.

" Whatever it is we can deal with tomorrow" I said with a yawn. I took off my jacket to rub my shoulder, which was bleeding a bit.

"What happened!" Aline half yelled grabbing my arm to look it over.

" I guess a bullet grazed me. I didn't even notice it. I'll go patch it up before I go to sleep" I said as I unhooked myself from her death grip. She shot me a look but let me go upstairs.

I looked in mom's room quickly. I guess she an Aunt Trish went out because I couldn't find them.

Then, I walked into my room and changed into my lime green Tank top and hot pink shorts. I grabbed some Advil from the bathroom and bandaged up my shoulder.

I turned off my lights and fell asleep quickly in my bed.

That night, I had a very strange dream.

I was standing in a room. With a huge mirror in front of me. It wouldn't have been so weird if I wasn't wearing a wedding dress.

It was gorgeous. Strapless top with beads sewn on in a design on the top and on the waist. From that point it billowed out onto the ground.

I looked over my hair. My bangs were pinned to the side with a silver pin but the rest of my fiery red hair cascaded down my back.

I moved the dress up and saw that I was wearing 4 inch white heels. I looked over at the dresser and saw my jewelry, a pair of pearl drop earrings and a black beaded necklace with a cross in the centre.

I put it on just as Aline walked in the room.

"Hurry! You're going to be late for you own wedding!" She said with a smile.

I smiled and looked over her outfit. A black off the shoulder dress that hugged her curves and in typical Aline fashion she had on a pair of bright red 6- inch heels.

We walked out the door and into a huge church. The top was painted with designs of saints and angels. The church was being held up with huge pink marble pillars.

Dozens and dozens of people crowded in the church. They all turned when I walked in and the music started. I started walking down the aisle and approached my future husband, though I could only see the back of him. I was almost all the way up the aisle when he turned around.

It was Jace Lightwood!

That was when I woke up. Shit! Shit!

I looked at the clock. It read 8:45.

I walked over to the bathroom and washed my face of the sweat and of that stupid dream.

"Clary!" Aline called. I grabbed some clothes from my dresser.

"One sec" I called back as I threw on a green plaid tank top and a Jean skirt. I grabbed a gray scarf and green cow boy boots. I pulled my hair into a bun and ran down the staircase.

Aline was sitting in the kitchen. She had on a top that read " Dirty Blonde" that would have shown her stomach if she didn't have a black tank underneath it. A pair of Jean shorts and silver gladiators.

I grabbed a muffin from the basket on the table and a cup of coffee.

"Are mom and Aunt Joyce back yet?" I asked her taking a sip of coffee.

"What do you mean back? I heard them in their office last night." Aline said confused.

"What? Their rooms looked like they had packed really quickly for a job or something?" I said back. We both stood up.

Something was wrong. Really wrong.

We ran into their office to see all their papers thrown all over the place and in the centre of the desk was a piece of paper with a knife stuck threw it.

We ran over and I pulled the knife out. The note said only this:

"If you want to see you mothers again you will call the number below and follow all of orders"
