Chapter 7
After the situation was explained Jace said that he was going to bed. A half an hour after he left Clary left the lounge room where she was reading a book in favour of heading up to the roof top garden. It was along her way that she heard a large CLASH coming from the weapons room. Clary cautiously snuck through the door. In the centre of the room Jace was leaping forward and backward fighting invisible foes, he had such grace that Clary was amazed, though where did the clashing sound come from?
As if she spoke too soon Jace leaped giving the killing blow to his opponent but slipped in his landing and smashed his head on the beach with a tremendous CLASH. Clary ran forward to his side. On her way she saw that he slipped on blood.
"Are you okay" she cried in alarm.
He flipped over he was bleeding from a cut on his head. He grabbed her hand which was also bleeding.
"What are you doing here?" he stared.
"I heard a noise in a rush over to see what it was. Come on we will go get you cleaned up."
Clary helped him to his feet and took him to the roof top garden, they walked in silence. He sat on a bench and she ran to get a first aid kit and a washcloth. When she returned she set about cleaning and bandaging his hand.
"So what happened in there?" Clary asked holding up her hand.
"Hearing about everything, my world has flipped twice now and it's just so confusing," he let out a sigh, "And now I realise I'm completely useless in both the world I knew and this new world. Hey I can't even jump without stuffing it up! I got frustrated so I punched the wall."
Clary grabbed the washcloth a started rubbing the blood off his face, "you're not useless you had more grace in there than most Shadowhunters have after years of practise," Jace looked down at her, "okay I was watching you for a while and its true you have so much natural talent. If you indeed have angel blood within you, you will become an incredible Shadowhunter in no time."
Jace's face lit up but it was only briefly, before Clary knew what was going on he leaned down and kissed her.
Clary's POV
He leaned towards me and kissed me, the passion that just followed from his lips nearly bowled me over. I had to grab the front of his shirt to stop me falling over. It was the greatest kiss that I had ever had; this is what I had wanted to do when all those Shadowhunters burst through the door. Now I was finally kissing him and it was better than I had expected. He pulled away and looked at me, expecting me to do something I missed the feel of his lips against mine. I grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled his lips against mine, I could feel him smile against my lips.
When we finally parted I was breathless and I tingled with warmth all over, sure I had kissed guys in the past, but nothing compared to this. I was smiling goofily at him and he gave me a magnificent crocked grin.
'I've wanted to do that for a while' Jace smiled sheepishly.
'What took you so long?' I laughed.
I could hear a grandfather clock going off in the distance sound that it was 1:30 in the morning, I believed that I could stayed there all night if it wasn't for Alec walking into the room.
'Hey I thought I heard talking. Didn't mum tell you that we have to leave early tomorrow so you might want to get some sleep', Alec yawned.
'Where are we going?' I questioned.
'It's a surprise,' he smiled and left us there.
We walked back to our separate rooms in silence, just enjoying each other's company. I had no idea where we were going tomorrow, but that wasn't what kept me up most of the night. It was me thinking about Jace and when I was going to be able to kiss him again.
