Fight for Survival
AN: Welcome back to the land I like to call my imagination. I know this is short and I'm so sorry but I couldn't write anymore.

Izzy had really gone to town this time.
I stared at the unfamiliar young woman in the mirror.
Izzy had made me look like some sort of model. She had layered dark eye makeup around my eyes, bringing out the green in them and making them look dark and mysterious. My skin was pale and Izzy had covered a lot of my freckles. My hair looked redder (If that was even possible) and my lips were a light pink.
The dress though. It was black, skin-tight and went down to mid thigh. It brought out the curves I never thought I had and it made my usually flat chest look… well, not flat.
She had finished it off with some black, heeled boots. They reached just past my knees.
"You look gorgeous." Izzy complimented.
"You too." Izzy wore a read dress that was even shorter than mine and a pair of heels, the same red colour, which had to be at least 7 inches tall.
"Okay," She came over to me and played with my hair a little. "There."
"Can we go?" I asked.
"Sure." She strutted to the door and swung it open. To my surprise, Simon stood there, dressed in a white shirt and jeans.
"Hey," Izzy flashed him a smile. Simon stood there, with his jaw on the floor and his eyes wide.
"Y-You look beautiful." He stuttered.
"Thank you Simon." She kissed him on the cheek.
"Can we go?" I whined. Izzy rolled her eyes.
She and Simon walked out the room together leaving me to trail along behind them. Once we got to the party room, my feet hurt from the stupid boots.
I had to admit though; Maryse and Izzy had done a very god job. The hall was dark and lit by bright flashing lights or all colours. There was a DJ booth in one corner and a little stage at the other side with a microphone in the middle. There were dinks and snacks on a table not far from the DJ booth and people were dancing everywhere.
My eyes scanned the crowd for Jace and I found him at the corner of the room talking with Alec.
I nudged Izzy and pointed to Jace. She nodded and I scurried off to find him.
After pushing and shoving my way through the crowd, I finally came face to face with Jace who was smiling down at me.
"Hi," I said rather breathlessly.
"Hey." He replied.
"You look beautiful." He smiled at me. He took my hand and led me through the crowd to dance.
"I can't dance." I said.
"I can." He told me.
He picked me up and placed me on his feet. We started to move to the music, my head pressed against his chest. I could hear his heartbeat. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him closer, not wanting to let go.
"I love you." I mumbled into his chest.
"Love you too." He said quietly, pressing his lips to the top of my head.
And then someone screamed.
