Chapter 7 (I'm positive this time)
A/N: No one to thank, because I'm posting this right after the last chapter :) But, I hope you liked the last chapter once you read it! Oh, and the clubbing outfits are going to be on my profile!!! Also, for those of you wondering, I really love Juicy Couture things, which is what Celina and Kat like because I'm not very original : (
Disclaimer: Do I really need to say it? Apparently so, I don't own the Mortal Instruments series. What I do own is my dog, Spirit : )
Less than an hour later, Celina and Kat were dressed and ready to go. Celina wearing a black, low neckline tank top with wide straps from, light blue washed denim leggings, and black gladiator sandals, all from Juicy.. Kat wore a black ruffled silk dress with black tights and black boots. For accessories, Celina had a black flower barrette, a black purse, and her gold necklace with her zodiac sign. Kat had a silver initial necklace, a gold heart ring, and a five chain bracelet.
Isabelle and Clary were emerged from Isabelle's room and walked over to where Celina and Kat waited. Clary was wearing a silver cross-back halter top with black flare jeans, and black sequined ballet flats. Isabelle was wearing a short gold dress with ruffles, gold hoop earrings and a gold bracelet with runes, with gold heeled sandals. After admiring each others outfits, and fighting Clary to go clubbing with them, the four girls were down the elevator and outside.
Clary hailed them a taxi and the four girls slipped in, Isabelle, Celina, and Kat in the back with Clary sitting in the front passengers seat. After giving the directions to Pandemonium, Isabelle asked Celina and Kat, "Do you have any weapons?"
Celina rolled her eyes while Kat answered, "Of course. We'd never leave without them."
"Really? Where do you keep them?" asked Isabelle.
Celina patted her purse and looked at Isabelle in confusion, "Don't you know the rune to make things bigger on the inside and still look the same size?"
Isabelle looked shocked, "No, I didn't know there is one." Celina handed her her purse and pointed out the rune on the inside of the purse. Isabelle gasped when she saw all the weapons and other items held in her purse.
"It's funny. You could get lost in there. Fauna did, once. That was funny. It was right after she'd learned to talk and now, anytime we bring it up, she glares at us and storms off," Celina laughed.
"Poor Fauna," Kat said in mock sympathy. The three girls laughed while Clary gave them an odd look, wondering what they were laughing about. This only made them laugh harder.
Jace was pacing in his room, annoyed. How could he have lost it like that? he wondered to himself. Every time he had tried to tell Clary the truth about why he did not want her to train to be a shadowhunter, he could never say it. He was her brother for crying out loud. Even if he never was related, even though he knew that was impossible, then he could not keep her from training, or else he would just look like a controlling friend.
He groaned in frustration and stopped his pacing, collapsing on the bed. Staring at the ceiling, he heard laughter outside. Getting up, he opened the door a little and looked out. Isabelle, Kat, and Celina were laughing and dragging Clary down the hallway. Jace sucked in his breath. Clary looked amazing. Then he realized, the only time she would dress like this was when she was going clubbing. Isabelle rarely took any weapons with her when she went clubbing, except her stele and whip. Clary had no weapons, and it was obvious that the other girls would never think about bringing weapons. If they could attack someone like Clary, who had not training, how could he expect them to have weapons?
He paced for a few more minutes before making a decision and walked over to Alec's room. After banging on the door, Alec answered. "What's up?"
"We're going to follow your sister."
Alec's eyes widened, "Last time I agreed to do that with you, she kicked our asses!"
"Yeah, well last time, you were thirteen and we were trying to figure out why she'd been avoiding us," Jace said bluntly.
"Yeah, and it ended up with her getting a new whip, practicing while she was avoiding us, and kicking our asses with said whip because we followed her!" Alec whined.
"Well, this time we're following her, Clary, and the two new girls."
Alec's eyes widened even more, "They could kick our asses better than Isabelle could. Plus, Isabelle would definitely help. I doubt those two brothers of Celina's would help us either. Why do you want to spy on them?"
"They're taking Clary clubbing and they have no weapons," Jace replied through gritted teeth.
Now Alec just groaned, "Jace, why does it matter? How do you know they have no weapons anyway?"
"Because," was Jace's brilliant answer.
"Fine, I'll go with you, but only because you're my brother," Alec relented.
"Go where?" asked Cole as he rounded the corner with Nix.
"Nowhere," Jace said.
Nix looked at them for a few minutes before saying, "They're going to go spy on our sister, Clary, Isabelle, and Kat."
Alec looked confused and Jace just looked angry again, "Were you spying on us?"
"Nope," Nix smiled. "I can just tell."
Cole sighed, "Enough of your compulsions, Nix. Fine."
"Fine?" Alec asked while Jace just looked dumbfounded.
Cole shrugged, "Sure, we love pranking Kat and Celina, so while your watching Isabelle and Clary, we prank Kat and Celina." Nix grinned happily at the thought.
"Prank them?" asked Jace.
Nix nodded and grinned, a mischievous gleam in his eye, "We can never prank them at home because Fauna is allowed all over Alicante without question, so she can warn them. When we're gone, she can't warn them because she can't attack mundies here without letting them know what she is. So we can only prank them when they're gone from an Institute or Fauna's off doing something for the a friend of hers back home."
"Huh, okay, we're going clubbing," Alec said in defeat.
Nix and Cole grinned and ran to the elevator. Jace shrugged and went to get ready. Alec just sighed and sat at the end of hid bed before changing into some clothes Isabelle had chosen for him when they went clubbing.
"Clary?" called Kat. She and Isabelle had been looking for Clary for the past ten minutes. She'd been dancing with some friend of hers that she had called and met them there.
"Ugh!" groaned Isabelle. "This is useless. Clary won't answer her phone. Let's just call Simon and see if he'll pick up." Kat shrugged and glanced over at Celina. She was dancing with a random mundane, which she did every time they went on a mission to another Institute.
Suddenly, Kat noticed something out of the corner of her eye. Moving her head slightly, she saw two black human shapes. She groaned. Quickly, she darted over to Celina, Isabelle following behind as she called the mundane.
"Celina," Kat hissed from behind her.
Celina's dance partner went to get her a drink. "What?"
"Your brother's are here. What are the odds they're going to prank us?"
Celina groaned, "There are no odds. We already know they're going to prank us. Won't they give it a rest? They've never managed to prank us well. Last time all they did was ruin our rooms. At least we didn't have to clean that up, it took them two days to clean it." Celina grinned at the memory.
Kat laughed, "I remember that. Good thing you told your mom what happened, two days of shopping wasted!" she said in mock horror. Celina smacked her on the arm before returning to the mundane and the drinks he'd gotten them. She smiled and accepted hers. Kat looked to the left and noticed Cole frowning slightly, he never did approve of Celina's date choices. Not that he despised mundanes, he just didn't like his sister dating a new mundie every day.
Laughing, Kat looked around and saw Isabelle waving to her. Kat ran over and Isabelle dragged her to the bar. Clary sat with the mundie. She looked up when Isabelle called her name. "Simon," she said to the boy next to her. "This is Kat. She's a shadowhunter helping out at the Institute."
Kat stiffened, "You're not supposed to tell mundanes about us!" she hissed at Clary.
Clary shrugged, "He already knows. He's not going to tell anyone."
Kat was feeling uncomfortable now, "Clary, you don't understand."
"What's to understand? He knows, he won't tell anyone," she said firmly.
Kat was already shaking her head. "Clary," she wasn't sure how to approach the subject. "I'm under strict order from the Clave that no mundanes are to know about us."
"Well, I'm not," Clary shrugged again.
Kat sighed in frustration, "No, Clary... the Clave doesn't care if I tell them, they just can't remember. And you can't take people's memory away, so..." she trailed off.
"What do you mean 'so?"'
"So, he can't live."
A/N: I'm so so so so so so so sorry! I know I kept saying I'd update and it took me so long to! Usually when I write, it's easy, but I got terrible writers block and a lot of things at school, sooo, I didn't update : ( But, here's a really long chapter to make up for it, I hope : ) I'm already working on the next chapter and I'll try to stop making promises I can't keep : ( Anyway, I didn't really care about what the guys were wearing, so I'm not putting their outfits on my profile, but the girls' outfits are! R & R!!
