Previously:

Izzy, Simon, Alec, Magnus, Jonathan and Jace entered the house to be greeted by a singing and dancing Clary. Jace glanced at her and his gaze stopped upon her hips which were swaying along the music.

Clary didn't seem to realize that she wasn't alone anymore and continued to sing. When the song stopped she heard someone clearing his throat as she turned around she slipped on the floor due to her shock. Waiting to bang on the floor she closed her eyes. Surprisingly, Clary felt someone's hands around her waist so she wouldn't fall. She slowly opened her eyes to gaze in to golden warm eyes .Neither Jace nor Clary were able to look away both feeling a spark where they touched each other...


They were staring at each other forgetting everything around them. Gold met Green. Suddenly someone cleared their throat and their gaze broke apart as Jace and Clary looked at who had interrupted them. Jonathan stood behind the counter and shook his head.

Clary squirmed under Jace touched so Jace turned to her and said.

"It's not every day that I have a gorgeous girl squirming in my arms." He winked at her and looked her up and down. Clary realized what she was wearing or rather what she wasn't wearing and blushed.

However she quickly collected herself and slapped his hands away.

"Put your hands away I don't wanna know where they've been." Jace released his hold, sat on the countertop and smirked at her.

Ignoring him, Clary turned to the others and asked.

"So who wants some pancakes?"

"I really would like some but Magnus, Alec, Simon and I are going on a double date." Izzy answered.

"Really, that's great." Clary replied.

"Yeah, that's really great." Alec murmured under his breath sarcastically.

"What's that, Honey bear?" Magnus asked.

"Nothing." Alec blushed and made his way to the door.

So, that left Jonathan, Jace and Clary alone.

"Well, here are some pancakes if you want some." Clary told them and walked to her room.

"Clary!" Jon called after her."Jace is sleeping here tonight."

"Great."

With that she closed the door, put on a sweatshirt and pulled out her sketchbook of her bag and began to draw.


"Please, don't do this." Clary begged. "Please."

A big bruise was already forming on her left cheek. But he didn't care. He hit, kicked and pushed her.

Clary knew if she didn't stop begging he would have had his fun much more with her so she stopped.

However, this day it was different, he began to slide his fingers down her stomach to her jeans. He had never done this before. As he started to unbutton her jeans Clary started to panic and cried. Tears were rolling down her cheek and a sob escaped her throat. "Please don't." Then, he threw her into the wall and Clary lost her consciousness but this wasn't the last time she lost it.

"Don't." Clary woke up in a cold sweat. She thought the dreams had stopped but unfortunately they didn't. She slowly put her hands one her stomach and lifted her shirt. There on her stomach was a 5inches long scar. Clary still remembered the night it had happened.

Trying to forget those memories she grabbed her old guitar and went outside.


Jace couldn't sleep this night. He wasn't sure why. He was used to sleep at the Fray's house. Jon was fast asleep so he went downstairs.

In the kitchen he grabbed himself a glass and filled it water. Then, he walked over to the glass doors which lead to the patio. Before he had a chance to sit down he heard a tunes coming from a guitar. (Holding out for a hero by Ella Mae Bowen)

1 2 3

He looked in the garden and there sat Clary with a guitar in her arms and a little candle next to her so Jace was able to see her features.

The dimming light made her face looks like it was porcelain.

Where have all the good men gone
And where are the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn't there a white knight
Upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn
And dream of what I need

Jace was wondering what had happened to her and why she needed a hero.

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast,
and he's got to be fresh from the fight,
I need a hero,
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light,
hes got to be sure, and it gotta be soon, and he's to to be larger than life
Clary didn' notice that someone was watching her and focused on the song.
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
Isn't there a Superman
To sweep me off my feet?

Jace was mesmerized by Clary. She had such a beautiful voice.

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast,
and he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Im holding out for a hero til the morning light
hes gotta be sure, and its gotta be soon
and hes got to be larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the raging flood
Oh, his approach is like a fire in my blood

I'll meet a hero
And then we'll dance til the morning light
Dreaming, he will lead me
Held tight, tonight's the night

Jace decided he would be the hero for her and make her forget her memories.

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the morning light
He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

Oooooh
Larger than life
Larger than life
Oh maybe, maybe, maybe tonight
Oh

From afar Jace could see that Clary had silent tears rolling down her cheeks and he had to suppress the urge to walk over to comfort her.

Suddenly, Clary turned around because she felt someone watching her but Jace was fast enough to hide in the shadows and Clary stood up and walked back in the house.

Jace was really curios about her. She was different than the most girls he knew. And that's what he liked about her.


Please,please review!

Then, I'll be really happy.

:D
