Chapter 7

Warrior Princess

Ever since he was a little kid, Jason has always been fascinated by the Institute's library. He used to wonder how so many books could fit in one place earning chuckles from his family. But even so, he never complained about the variety of books. In fact, he loved it. Both his parents taught him to read when he was 3 and since then he have been hooked with books.

They always found a way to relax him when he was either stressed or mad. It took him to different worlds and adventures and he couldn't help sometimes wish he was one of the characters on those adventures. Books were, and still are, his asylum.

And right now he wanted to read every single book in the library, thanks to the great news he just got from his parents.

"You're kidding, right?" He asked dumbfounded staring at his parents. He was sitting on one of the chairs in the library, his parents standing in front of him.

Clary shook her head, "No, we're not. You two already know each other so, I thought it will be more comfortable for her to train with you."

Jason opened and closed his mouth like a fish before speaking, "B-but why Dad can't train her?!" Jace just shook his head, arms crossed over his chest. It's been a day since Caitlyn had settled in and she needed someone to train her or with her. And out of all the people in the family they had to choose him. Great.

"Even if she could handle my skills I agree with your mother. Besides, you guys are the same age and I think it will be better for her to train with someone her age."

Jason groaned and rubbed his face with both hands. This could not be happening. Sure, he knew that at some point they might spare and all but train together? Hell no. But who was he to say no to his parents? Even if he did they will still make him do it, like it or not.

He raised his head and sighed in defeat, "Fine... I'll train her. When do you want me to start?"

Clary grinned widely and from the look on her face he knew he was going to regret it, "Right now."

...

The sound of knocking brought Jason back from his exercise, throwing knives at targets. All bullseye. He turned around twirling the knife on his hand and saw Caitlyn leaning on the door frame.

"Well, someone's in a mood." She smirked as she stepped inside the training room. He had spent the last few minutes throwing knives at targets to release his emotions and also make a plan. It was a lame one but still a very good one. He just rolled his eyes at her and threw the knife at the target without looking. Bullseye. She scoffed, "Show off..."

Jason smiled smugly grabbing the nearest sword. He threw it at her, not even checking if she had caught it or if it pierced her, and went to take another sword from the wall. He heard a squeak and a faint "Fuck you" behind him. He smirked and turned around to face her, sword in hand, "Now, I believe you are familiar with swords..."

Caitlyn glared at him as he stared at her with a smug look."Yes I do," She huffed, "By the Angel, you really are in a mood."

Jason scoffed and stood in front of her in a fighting stance, "Just shut up and fight me. If you can handle me, of course." She literally growled at him and lunged forward taking him off guard for a second.

He dodged just in time and saw her smirking at him, "Oh, I think I can." He narrowed his eyes at her and lunged at her. She side-stepped and brought her sword down only to be blocked by Jason's sword. She took a step back from him and both moved to circle each other.

"I've got hand it to you. You aren't as bad as I thought you will be." She lunged forward and he blocked and spun around circling her again.

"You just thought that because no one can beat the incredibly attractive and amazing Jason Herondale." She replied sarcastically with that annoying, yet beautiful accent. Snap out of it!, Jason scolded at himself.

"You think I'm attractive?" He smirked seductively blocking one of her attacks. He just loved provoking her into trying to kill him, even if that was part of the plan. He had that effect on people.

Caitlyn gave him a death glare, "It's none of your business." She spun around blocking his attack only to be grabbed by the arm and crashing with Jason's chest. Her sword slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground with clang. She looked up and stare at him and Jason could tell she was remembering that night. He choose to ignore the butterflies in his stomach and went with his plan. Tease her and provoke her till she avoided him. That will give him plenty of time to think.

He smirked down at her, "If it involves me, the sexiest creature in this poor planet, I do think it is my business." Her gray eyes turned dark like a storm for second and she smiled sweetly, too sweetly.

"Of course is your business." She whispered seductively trailing her finger down his chest slowly. He gulped, trying to compose himself before he did something he'll regret later.

Caitlyn stared at him with her big gray eyes, her finger trailing down stopping just over his jeans...and she pushed him with all her strength. He stumbled back, and using this as an opportunity, she swung her leg under his making him drop to the ground with a loud thud.

Jason grunted and before he could get up and defend himself she had him pinned on the floor. She smiled innocently and slowly leaned down to whisper in his ear, "I win." He growled at her and she giggled, clearly enjoying herself.

"Get... the fuck out of me." She pondered for a moment before answering, "Mmm... No, I don't think so."

He struggled under her grip, her very tight grip, "If I knew any better I'll think you want to rape me right here on the spot." He smirked deviously at her, provoking her on purpose. What happened next, though, he wasn't expecting it.

He saw her expression go from all time winner to all time killer. And the next thing he knew his cheek was tingling and feeling quite hot, as if it was burning. That's when he realized she had slapped him. Cautiously, he locked his surprised gaze with her murderous one.

"Just because I kissed you once, and liked it, doesn't mean I'm a bloody slut. Next time you call me that things will get very ugly." She slipped off him and stood up walking out of the room. Jason react fast and pulled himself to his feet to go after her but not before she stopped outside the door and looked over her shoulder at him and what he saw made his heart clench. Her eyes, her beautiful dark grey eyes that were murderous one moment ago were flashing with hurt.

"And here I thought you weren't what people said you were." And with that she stormed off down the hall, leaving Jason frozen in the middle of the room.

He knew this was all part of the plan. Provoke her into avoiding him. But seeing her eyes, full of pain, made him want to go on a killing spree for being so reckless with her feelings. Of course she'll be hurt. After all, they got along and had a good time (a very good time) that night and she was probably expecting him to treat her nicely and not like some whore. He really was one hell of a fool.
