Clary and Jace walked into the bookstore hand in hand. Maia was sitting behind the counter reading a worn copy of Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. "Hey Maia!" Clary called waving.

"Are you reading a vampire book?" Jace asked, looking astonished. As a general rule, vampires and werewolves hated each other. With the exception of Simon and Maia, who were kind of dating. Isabelle and Simon were also kind of dating. Honestly, Clary and Jace were both hoping Simon would start seriously dating Isabelle, she really cared for him.

"Hey you guys," Maia said a grin creeping onto her face "I am, there is this werewolf that is to die for in this book!" Her smile faded "I really hope Bella chooses Jacob" She added as an afterthought. Clary laughed, she was a Team Edward kind of girl.

"She do-OUCH!" Jace exclaimed when Clary dug her elbow into his ribs.

"Jace," she hissed "you can't tell her how the book ends." He could be so clueless sometimes.

"I'm going to pretend like I didn't hear anything." Maia warned "Did you guys come to see Luke and Jocelyn?"

"Yeah," Clary said "I miss my mom, I was hoping we could spend a little time together today."

"Go on back," Maia encouraged "I'm sure she's going to be so happy to see you. She talks about how much she misses you all the time." Jace and Clary were walking towards the house when Maia suddenly called out "Have you heard from Simon, Clary?"

At the mention of Simon's name Clary froze. He had been 'wandering' for the past couple of weeks, because of the Mark of Cain. Clary felt horrible for giving it to him in the first place, even if it did allow the vampires to fight in the battle. Clary turned around to look at Maia, shaking her head. "No, have you?"

"Yeah, he says he's doing fine and hopefully he'll be home soon." Clary nodded. She wondered why Simon hadn't bothered to call her, they were best friends after all. Maybe he was hating her for giving him the stupid mark, she wouldn't blame him. She had been such a bad friend lately. "Thanks Maia, if you talk to him again tell him I miss him so much." She nodded.

"Clary!" Her mother exclaimed when they where in the house "I'm so glad to see you honey, you too Jace." Then more loudly she said "Luke! Clary and Jace are here, hurry!" Luke rushed in the room, his glasses falling down his nose.

He swept Clary up in a big hug "It's so great to see you, stranger!" he said jokingly. He put a hand on Jace's shoulder "You too Jace, you kids are inseparable." This caused Clary to blush and Jace to laugh.

"So are you two, you should really stop by the Institute more often" Jace said "We would-"

"Oh, Clary" Her mother said cutting Jace off, she gave him an apologetic look "We have some news." She was gripping Luke's hand tightly. "We're getting married-"

"I know Mom," Clary said "You've told us that before." Ever since coming home from Idris, six months ago, they had been busy planning the perfect wedding. To Clary's surprise Maryse and Jocelyn had become the best of friends just like her and Isabelle. She was helping her mother with the wedding planning, even being the Maid of Honor. This was the first Downworlder and Shadowhunter wedding ever recorded and it was the Valentines ex-wife who was getting married, it was a pretty big deal.

"Thats not what your mother was saying." Luke said "We want you to design a rune, one that would bond us together forever. We would like for you to make it a permanent rune." He had a hopeful look on his face, Jocelyn was grinning from ear to ear. "Please Clary" she added

"Of course, Mom I would love too!" Clary said "Lets get started right now!" She pulled her backpack off her shoulder and put it on the coffee table. She took out her pencil and drawing pad.

For the next couple of hours Clary designed different runes, each one standing for something different. Love. Happiness. Blessing. Bliss. Jace was quite for most of the time, occasionally he would point to a rune that he really like. After one of the runes, hearts that were intertwining with each other, her mother stopped her. "That one!" She said "It's perfect! Don't you agree Luke?" Clary looked down at the sketch pad and studied the rune,it looked similar to Tonya's ring. Everlasting Love, at least it was fitting.

Luke nodded "It's perfect. Can you apply it right now?" He asked. Clary nodded, taking her stele out of her backpack. She applied the new rune to her mother first, on the inside of her palm. She flinched at the feel of the stele on her arm but eventually relaxed. Next she applied it to Luke, on his palm too. He didn't even flinch when she brought the stele down to his hand.

"Clary," Jace said "We have to be leaving soon. Isabelle sent a text, we have to leave for the Seelie Court when the moon comes up." Her mother and Luke gave her identical looks of shock, she quickly explained to them what happened and what they have to do. They said their goodbyes, exchanged hugs and kisses, then went outside to catch a taxi.

"I'm so sorry I ruined our plans, Jace." Clary said once they stood outside the Institute. She remembered all the romantic things that he wanted to do that day. It was almost sunset now, they wouldn't have time to do any of them before having to meet Isabelle.

"It's fine love," Jace replied. He leaned in and gave her a light kiss on the cheek "There are always other days. Go take a shower, I"ll meet you after." Clary went off to her room. She stood under the hot water for what seemed like hours, she slowly felt the muscles in her back relax. When the water started running cold she got out and pulled her ivory robe on. When she opened the door she saw Jace sitting on her bed. He was holding a stele in his hands, twirling it around and around. When he saw Clary he looked up and said, "I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then." It was the same words that he had said the night before he went looking for Valentine and Jonathan.

"I love you too, Jace. With all my heart" She said. She meant the words with all of her heart. She had never loved anyone as much as she loved Jace. He put a hand up stopping her.

"I really mean that Clary, I didn't say those things because I thought we were all going to die. I'm going to love you forever. I would like for you to apply the rune that you designed for your mom and Luke on us." He said. There were so many emotions written on his face, Clary couldn't remember a time where he had been so open. Clary hesitated, when she didn't say anything he got up saying "Sorry, thats a bad idea. Forget I ever mentioned it okay?" He started walking towards the door, his shoulders slumped and his head hanging low.

"I think it's a great idea, Jace." she said, it was barley a whisper. Jace turned around to face her, looking more hopeful.

"Really?" He asked "I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to wait." She walked over and got the stele from Jace's hand.

"No I think it's amazing. It's so sweet and loving." She turned Jace around and took off his shirt. She pulled the stele up to his shoulder and pressed down, drawing the permanent rune that would bind them together forever. When she finished his she handed him the stele, pushing the shoulder of her robe down so he could draw the rune on her. At first the stele stung her skin, she flinched. Then the burning became a pleasurable kind of pain, she was used to it by now. As soon as it was finished she felt such an overwhelming feeling of love towards Jace. She turned around to face him, his arms wrapping around her waist. She crushed her lips to his. At first the kisses were soft, then they became more needy and passionate. Clary felt her robe being slipped off, then Jace took her to the bed.
