It was a couple of months after the Magnus incident, and Jace was relatively, not completely, calmed down from what had happened. Alec and Magnus were as happy as ever, and I knew that Magnus made the right choice of marrying Alec, even if his parents are a bit mad that they weren't asked about it first, especially his mother. Isabelle was ecstatic about the prospect of another one of her brothers being engaged, even if she didn't know beforehand. She was a little ticked that I was the girl to know beforehand though. Magnus quickly explained his idea of why me and not her, and then she was fine with it.
"Come on, Clary," Isabelle whined as I was lying on our bed still with his arms wrapped around me. Jace and I decided to stay in the same room, as thunderstorms happened more frequently now because it was spring. He didn't want to have me scared and moving around in the institute in the middle of the night anymore, so he suggested to Maryse that I'd stay in his room. She had complied, along with Robert, her husband.
"What do you want now, Isabelle," I questioned.
"Don't you remember, Clary," she stated. "You are the bait tonight. I have to get you all baited up!"
"Isabelle, do you have to put it in those terms," Jace groaned as he tightened his grip on me. He hated every time that I was the 'bait' as Isabelle liked to call it whenever there was a demon problem in a club. Isabelle decided that she and I should switch back and forth between the bait, and it's worked every time. No demon has gotten past our grip.
"Jace, hand her over, and no one will get hurt," she growled as she walked over to the bed to try and rip me out of Jace's grip and drag me down the hallway. I crawled away from her, trying to get away, but she grabbed hold of my ankle and dragged me by my foot.
"Isabelle, let me go," I yelled as I tried kicking out of her grip. She just held firm and didn't let me go. I sighed in exasperation as she dragged me into her room before slamming the door.
"Come on, Clary, we have to get you ready," Isabelle smiled before walking into her closet. She started shooting clothes out of the closet, looking for the perfect thing for me to wear. When she seemed satisfied about one finally, she threw it my way. I just walked to the bathroom, knowing I wouldn't see it until I was wearing it. My jaw dropped when I looked at it. It was a black dress, and it came down to mid thigh. It was long sleeved to cover up the runes, but it did have a drop at the neck. It didn't look as bad as I thought on me.
After I was done in the bedroom, Isabelle squealed as she looked at me, and I rolled my eyes. She quickly did my hair and makeup, and then we were walking out of the room towards the weapon's room. When we were there, I tucked Milisi in between my arm and the sleeve of my right arm. Then I took some other weapons and placed it in various places, even in my hair, which Isabelle helped me out with so I wouldn't cut it off.
"Here's some boots that you can wear," she said as she gave me ankle high black boots.
"What about the knee high ones I like," I questioned. "It would look better."
"No, it wouldn't," Isabelle stated. "Not with this dress. Now put them on before I make you." I put them on, and she handed me a dagger to put into one of my boots. I opted for the right one. I put my stele in my left boot.
"You ready," I questioned.
"Just about," she said as she finished putting in weapons of her own on various places of her body. "Let's do this!" We walked out of the room, and we made our way to the elevators where the guys were waiting at.
"You guys ready," I asked. Alec nodded while Jace shook his head. I stared at him questioningly before he pulled at my waist and kissed me passionately. I barely heard Isabelle fussing about my outfit as I submerged from the kiss.
"Now I'm ready," he smirked before we walked into the elevator with me shaking my head with a small smile.
We walked a couple of blocks away from the institute, since the club we had decided to go to was close, and I stared questioningly at Magnus when I noticed him leaning up against the wall of the club. I looked at Alec for answers.
"We wouldn't let me go in on this without," Alec shrugged before walking up to his fiancé and shared a quick kiss.
"Well, Clary, you clean up well," Magnus complimented me as he noticed my outfit. "Still think that a little color should have been added though."
"Thanks, I think," I said before starting to look around to see if there were any demons present. I smirked as my eyes laid on one. "I'll see you guys later." I made my way into the club, and couldn't stop my hips from swaying to the beat. I turned to see the others entering the club then, and I winked at Jace before disappearing into the crowd, scouting for the demon. He wasn't that hard to find, and he was staring right at me, staring at me with lust and hunger in his eyes. I sent him a fleeting smile before I danced over to the exit, making sure that he followed me. The others were following him, but he didn't pay any attention to that.
Once we were outside, I turned towards the demon as it lunged itself at me. I took out Milisi at the last minute, and he stared in shock, but it was too late for him. Milisi beheaded him with perfect ease, and I watched as the body sunk into the ground, going to wherever he came from. When I heard the door open, I looked up, thinking it was the others, but it wasn't. It was Jonathon, my true brother.
