Jace's POV:

Shit. How could I have missed it. The resemblance, the way she spoke. The truth is that yes, the name Jocelyn Fairchild did ring bells. She was the woman who had been killed by the rogue werewolf, Samantha. Alec and I were following her and Samantha ended up at the Fairchild house. Too late. The woman was dead and the small child was motherless. No one saw where she went, so we assumed she was dead. But clearly not because here she was, shackled to the ground in my tent.

"Clarissa Fairchild? That's you?"

"Yeah stupid. Its me." She rolled her eyes. She seemed to do that a lot. If anyone else had done that I would have killed them, but I felt like she had an excuse.

"It wasn't one of my pack that killed your mother."

"Oh, you remember her now."

"Well, yes. But I repeat it wasn't one of mine."

"Ha, like I couldn't see you, the other Herondale wolf, Will I think and that black-haired boy with that other girl who killed my mother."

"You don't understand. She was rogue, we were trying to stop her."

"Yeah sure you were."

"Clary I'm telling the truth." She looked at me and turned her back, indicating that this conversation was over.

O.o.O

Clary's POV:

Should I believe him? His story does sound right, but I was so young and maybe revenge and grief had clouded my judgement. Clary, stop he's getting into your head. I couldn't stop though. I so badly wanted to believe him. I wanted him to be right, that it was a rogue. But I had been knocked down so many times it was hard. Clary focus at the task in hand. Right. Valentine has probably figured out I'm gone; would he look for me? I needed people I could trust.

"cough cough" I turn around and see the black-haired girl from earlier. Izzy. "You know, even for you, trying to take down 12 werewolves and an alpha is slightly crazy." I smirk at her.

"Crazy doesn't cover me." I learnt since the first time I had been beaten by Valentine that it was better for me to be crazy, don't cry, don't show anger, don't let anyone know what makes you happy or sad.

"Ha, first right thing I've heard all week."

"Ya know, if the circumstances were different I might be able to tolerate you." I say smirking at her.

"I'm going to take that as a compliment."

"Go ahead sweetie, do what you want."

"Huh. I was outside the tent and heard your conversation with Jace."

"And?"

"I can't believe you spoke to him like that, He's an alpha."

"He's not my alpha and I'm not scared of him." Izzy looked at me once more before stepping closer to me.

"What he said was true."

"How would you know?"

"Alec, the 'black haired boy' is my brother."

"Huh" I turned by back, the truth is that I really had no idea on what I should believe and what not to believe. I looked back around but Izzy must have left because all that was left was the flapping openings of the tent.

O.o.O

I rub my eyes as I look out of the tent. I must have fallen asleep. I could here voices in the distance. Shouts, growls. A fight. And by the sound of the whimpering werewolves it was clear the other side was winning. What was the other side? There had to be loads of them to take on werewolves like this. Or… it could be him. Valentine had found her. I stretched out as far as my cuffs would let me but all I could see was the edge of the fight.

Suddenly someone was rushing towards me. It was Valentine. I stumbled back. Curling into a ball so he couldn't recognise me. Of course, my hair gave me away and I could feel his presence at the tent flaps.

"Oh, Clarissa darling look, they tied you up so it will be easy for me to take you." He laughed and strode forward. "Now don't move or I might chop your hands off." He says as he brings out his seraph blade and It slices through the metal of the chains. The area around my wrists are red but Valentine yanked me up. Pulling me close to his face he hissed in my ear "You thought you could escape me. You, little piece of shit is going to come back home and you are going to get a beating." With that he punched me again and again until I was on the ground then he kicked me. I felt hot tears sliding down my cheeks, though I have never cried once while being beaten. Maybe it was the feeling that I was now being taken back to the horrid place. All of a sudden, the kicks stopped I looked up through my misty eyes and saw…Jace? He was fighting of Valentine alongside Alec but Valentine was winning. I almost cried out in relief as I saw Jon and Seb running over. But then my heart plummeted they were fighting Jace, on Valentines team. I felt like me heart had turned to stone. What did you think they would always come to your rescue? Yes. I did. They were all a blear of swords and claws in front of me. Someone dropped two daggers before me. It was Jace, but before he could say anything he was off again fighting. I realised they only way the fight was even was because. Sebastian had a limp, Jon had a nasty scratch down the side of his head and Valentine was only armed with a small dagger.

I saw my chance as Valentine stood in front of me. With all the will-power I could muster I through the dagger into the side of his chest. Not a death shot, but very painful and he could lose a lot of blood. He gaped at me as he clutched his chest, his face turning white. He stumbles back as I crumple to the floor. I'm still clutching the dagger. Valentine starts running towards the woods and he disappears behind the trees, Sebastian right behind him. I turn to Jon. Please don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me.

"I'm sorry Clare." He whispers to me. "Please take care of her." He says to Jace and Alec before sprinting off. Leaving me crying on the floor, clutching a dagger and praying to god that I wasn't too bruised. I don't know how long we were there for, no one moving. All you could hear where my cries and the boys' shallow breathing until Izzy rushed in.

"Alec? Alec!" She cried as she hugged her brother. I stared at them not bothering to hide the jealousy in my eyes.

"Are you ok?" Alec asks.

"Yes, but there has been a kill."

"Who?" Jace pipes in

"Poppy." I feel bad. I caused her death. They wouldn't have come if it wasn't for me. Stop thinking like that. Just a couple of days ago you wanted them all dead.

But the question was.

Did I still want to be enemy's?

A/n:

Sooooooo what do you think? Izzy and Clary relationship is starting and this was needed to also kick off the clace. Which many people have asked me about. Yes, there will most definitely be Clace and as this is going to be a quite short story it will start very soon. That's it for now but pls review. When I get 5 reviews I'll update
