Hey guys! Tell me what you think about this little number.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Mortal Instruments series.
I found that I couldn't control myself as my arms wound their way around his neck and pulled him closer. He seemed surprised at first, but soon he deepened the kiss and pushed me back so I stumbled into the elevator. I heard the doors close as he pushed up against the wall and I giggled when he picked up my legs and wrapped them around his waist. My hands had a mind of their own as they made their way under Jace's shirt and started tracing the contours of his well-chiseled body. Jace shivered in pleasure and pulled away from my lips so that he could kiss my neck. When he reached my weak spot on my collarbone, I pressed my body closer to him and felt his hands begin to trail up my shirt.
Suddenly, there was a ding and the doors to the elevator opened. Jace and I scrambled to get away from each other and look as if we weren't just into a very heated make-out session in the elevator. Behind the doors stood Sophie, Izzy and Char and they seemed to know what we were doing because they all had the I-know-what-you-were-doing-and-I'm-telling look.
"Hey guys," I smiled innocently.
"Oh, no. You don't get to 'Hey guys' me, Clary. You're coming with me so that I can get you ready," Izzy smiled mischievously.
"Get me ready for what?" I asked.
"For Pandemonium, duh!"
"Oh, no. I can't go because-" I was cut off by Char.
"Oh yes you can. You are not going to do it again, Clary. I know how much you hate it when you lose control, but you have to trust yourself enough not to. I won't let you become a shut-in," Char stated matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, Aunt Char's right. I won't let you put yourself through it again. Do you remember how long it took you to even pick up a steele after the greater demon fight? I won't let it happen again," Sophie said sternly.
I looked at Char and Sophie and smiled, knowing they were right, and let myself be dragged away by Izzy, who squealed and began dragging me towards her bedroom. Sophie followed while Char stayed behind to talk to Jace saying that she would meet us in Izzy's room.
Once inside Izzy started rifling through her closet and she threw clothes left and right, trying to, in her exact words, 'find an outfit that will make my brother swoon.'
I looked to Sophie, who was smiling at Izzy and asked, "Are you okay if your father and I try and see if we can try again?"
She looked at me surprised, "Of course I am! Every kid wants their parents to get back together and why not save me and Aunt Izzy the trouble and do it yourselves."
"So its Aunt Izzy now, is it?'
"Yep. I asked her if she was okay with me calling her now and practically tackled me to the ground while she was saying yes," she laughed.
I laughed at that and was hit in the head with fabric that came in Izzy's direction.
"Go and get dressed," Izzy ordered pointing to the bathroom door.
I got up and went to the bathroom with thing that she considered a dress in my hands. Once inside, I pulled my clothes off and slipped the dress on. When I turned to look at myself in the mirror, I gasped. Izzy had put me in a dress that reached me mid-thigh and it was a dark forest green color that contrasted with my eyes. The dress had a sweet heart neckline with two skinny straps and was ruffled all the way to the bottom and tight to my skin, curving in all the right places. There was a sparkle aspect to the dress with a diamond pendant in the middle underneath the breast area.
I threw the door open and launched myself at Izzy.
"Izzy it's so beautiful and sexy at the same time!" I screamed.
She just laughed at me and unwound my arms from her neck before pulling me into the chair in front of her vanity. Covering the mirror with a towel, she turned to me and began to work her magic.
A half hour and two arguments later, I was twirling in front of the mirror and smiling at myself. Izzy had brought out the sparkle in my eyes with her green and silver eye makeup. My lips were full and my cheeks were rosy, though she didn't put allot because she said that I blush enough already as it is, which in turn, caused me to blush. My hair was set in huge ringlets that ran down to my waist and I slipped on dark green heels without complaining.
I turned around and gasped when I saw my daughter. Izzy had put her in a short gold dress that made her look older. Sophie's dress hugged her in all the right places and hit her mid-thigh; it was slim through and through with an added diamond belt around her waist. The strapless dress made me wish that Sophie was still the little girl that she used to be. Her daughter's hair was laid in soft curls that flowed down her back and her makeup was down light, but I could still see a hint of gold eyeliner and eye shadow.
I smiled at her and opened my arms wide which she gladly entered.
"I love you, so much. I hope that you know that. I want you to promise me something. I want you to promise that no matter what if it looks like I will lose control, I want you to rip the necklace from my neck so that I don't hurt Char. I don't care what happens to me, do you understand?" I asked her pulling back so that I could look into her eyes.
She nodded solemnly and we went towards the door where Izzy was waiting in the library with everybody else. We walked down the hall in silence and when I opened the door we heard a collection of gasps. Inside, everyone was staring at us with wide eyes and open mouths. While looking around the room, I noticed another person, who looked thirteen, staring at Sophie and Sophie staring back blushing.
I nudged her shoulder and she blushed even more, but before I could comment I felt arms wrap around my waist. I turned to see who it was, though I had a pretty good guess, and saw Jace staring in my eyes.
"Well hello there," I smiled.
"Hello to you too. You look very beautiful, Clary," he said checking me up and down.
"Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself." Jace smiled at that and before he could say anything I interrupted, "Hey, who is that kid?"
Jace looked in the direction that I was pointing and said, "That's Liam. He's new here. His parents died about two months ago and the Clave sent him here. He's thirteen and he kind of keeps to himself."
"Okay."
"Alright, everybody let's go!" Izzy yelled grabbing onto Simon and dragging him out the door.
We all laughed and followed behind, not wanting to feel Izzy's wrath. The way to Pandemonium was peaceful as we all split up in twos and talked to each other. I noticed that Liam and Sophie seemed to be having a conversation and I saw Sophie blush for the third time today.
Once we reached the club, the bouncer let us in right away and we all made our way to the bar so that we could scope out some demons. I smelled one towards the dance floor and I soon spotted him. His mundane skin looked to be about twenty five and he would be hot if he didn't have that awful smell.
I turned to Sophie and said, "Now how about you watch your mom do her magic."
I walked towards the dance floor and began dancing with some guys. The demon saw me and began to make his way over. When I felt his hands on my waist, I started grinding on him and he spun me around so fast it made me dizzy.
"How about we go somewhere private?" he asked whispering in my ear seductively.
I simply giggled and danced away from him towards the back room that's sign said 'Employees Only'. He followed me and I saw the hungry look in his eyes when I opened the door and stepped in. I was pushed up against the wall almost immediately and the demon began stacking my neck. I groaned in disgust, but the demon seemed to take it as pleasure and started to move its way along my jaw.
Suddenly the door burst open and in came the gang. The demon jumped back wide-eyed and whispered "Shadowhunters."
"Nope we're just stupid mundanes," I laughed as I began advancing on him as I pulled out the Seraph blade that I hid in my dress somehow.
The demon turned to look at me and shrank instantly. "Now I recognize you! You're a Morgenstern! Don't tell Jonathan, please!"
I stopped moving and stared at him frozen. "What do you mean?"
"Jonathan is back and he's coming. He's coming for his sister and his darling niece," the demon yelled.
I turned to Sophie and she was paralyzed. I turned back towards the demon and threw the blade and it soured through the air hitting right through the head. When I went to turn back around, I felt a rumbling come up through my feet.
"Sophie!" I yelled.
She was by my side in an instant and I turned to look at her, "I feel something coming. Now if I get out of control I need you to do what I asked, okay?"
My daughter nodded slowly and grabbed my hand as we turned to look back at the spot where I killed the demon. In its place now stood a greater demon, the same on that I had killed a couple months ago that almost killed Char in return.
"Hello, Clarissa. So nice to see you again," it snarled.
"Really, because it is so not nice to see you right now," I replied.
The demon lunged at me and I threw Sophie out of the way. I was hit in my side and thrown across the room. I felt myself hit the wall and a chorus of 'Clary's hit my ears. I got up slowly and turned back towards the demon that now stood in front of my cowering daughter.
"I swear, by the Angel Raziel, if you lay one of your ugly claws on my daughter, we're going to have a problem!" I yelled at him as I felt myself gaining power. "Sophie!"
My daughter jumped up, ran to my side and ripped off my necklace. Suddenly I felt a burst of energy course through my veins and I smiled at the demon who was now staring at me wide-eyed.
"Go on threaten me, threaten my family; see what happens."
The demon snapped out of its haze and took one step towards the gang that was staring between the two of us wide-eyed. I growled at his taunt and he smiled continuing to move in their direction.
"You better stop moving before I rip those claws right from your knuckles!" I growled.
"I would like to see you try again, little one," he replied laughing.
I screamed and launched myself at the demon, which was now turned towards me in a battle stance. I felt the power ripple through my body as I threw all I had into a punch here, a kick there. The demon stopped smiling as soon as I landed the first punch and was now trying to find a weak spot. Whenever he couldn't find one he would growl and try to scratch me. We continued on that way until I slipped on some demon ichor from the previous demon. The greater demon stood above me and smiled before he plowed his claws in my abdomen. I screamed in pain and felt myself begin to lose energy.
"Mom!" I heard from behind me.
I turned towards my daughter who was now staring at the greater demon with a fire in her eyes that I have never seen there before. She was shaking so violently that she couldn't stand still. Jace and the others were making their way towards her, trying to calm her down, but she wasn't listening.
"Sophie," I whispered trying to get her attention, but it didn't work.
"How dare you?! How dare you even lay a hand on my mother?!" she screamed.
I saw Sophie burst into flames right before my eyes.
