A/N
I'm alive don't worry. I'm so sorry it has been a long time since I have updated. I had told you guys now that it's summer that I would be updating more. BUT... I have had this chapter done for awhile and I had been way to lazy to update. Me and my co writer are also on different schedules so it is hard to work together. I literally just got back from my second vacation like an hour ago. I had this chapter done before my vacation but I was getting tired and I had a lot to do before we left. I'm going to try to update more often and hopefully longer chapters. I'm sorry this chapter is short and kind of sucks. But don't worry I am not abandoning this story even if my friend gives up on me. Anyway hope you enjoy!
Kade POV
"Kade," Clary uttered completely in shock.
"Clary, it is a complete honor to make your acquaintance," I said slyly enjoying her shocked expression. "I'm glad that you didn't allow that pathetic little parasite of your's to stick around."
"What the hell is going on Kade? Why are you doing this?" she said with a scared speak in her tone. How adorable just like a little mouse.
"Well you see, biscuit. Your little backstabbing step-daddy isn't exactly my favorite person. In fact he is one of the many reasons I'm doing this."
"And what would those other reasons be?" she asked standing up straighter and steadying her voice. How cute she's trying to look brave, but I can see right through her little façade.
"Well let's see... any other downworlder that has sided themselves with the plague that is the Nephilim," I spat.
"So that's what you're up to. You want to wipe out the Shadowhunters. Well I'm sorry but that really isn't original," she smirked.
"Tah tah tah Clary I thought you were smarter than that. Really do you believe that I would just tell you my plan?" I chuckled. It truly was quite amusing watching them grasp at idiotic answers. "I'm not your classic villain sweetheart. I'm much more calculated," I smiled slowly circling her. "I'm not going to wildly jump on chances for power like your idiotic father or get overly involved like that annoying brother of yours. No I believe the one and only way to win this little dispute of ours is through well timed and thought out plans," I explained.
"Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because darling you're the hero and I'm the villain and if you didn't go and run off to your pathetic little Clave then our show wouldn't have an audience, and don't you know? An audience is the most important part of any good story, because then people get involved…" I said walking up behind her and whispering in her ear, "...and the hero makes mistakes."
Clary spun around and faced me bravely like the little warrior she was. "To hell with you Kade! To think some people actually trusted you," she yelled getting all worked up.
"That was their mistake deary. I'm not one to be trusted and unlike you I paid attention to what those people trusted me with," I chuckled. "Now if you don't mind I have a little meeting with an old friend of your's. Oh what was his name again… ah yes, Jordan," I said noticing the mention of his name shock her. Though it was fun, all good things had to come to an end and this was no different.
I spun on my heel and began walking away when, "You don't think you're getting away that easily!" Clary shouted making me look over my shoulder. "I know what you're up to and no way in hell are you getting away from me."
"Oh really, well then," and with a snap of my fingers a demon pounced out of the brushes and pinned Clary to the ground. "Have fun with my little pet. We will be seeing each other very soon." I then proceeded to walk away leaving her to deal with one of my smaller demons. As I walked passed the fight I signalled to the remaining demons to finish it up. This has been quite the productive evening.
Jace POV
"So what's the plan?" Emma asked after everyone had been gathered in the library.
"Well, right now there is no plan since Clary is still knocked out." I had seen most of what had happened between Clary and Kade but I had been unable to hear any of it. "Clary knows most of everything that is going on. Until Clary wakes up, we will have to stay here." I said pacing around the room. Ever since I saw Clary get attacked everything had been a blur of memories. Clary had only been in the infirmary for 2 hours but it has felt like days to me. I have been sitting there ever since she got there. Until someone had gotten me to my feet and dragged me into the library. "Enough has been said here." Then I turn and walk out of the room back to the seat next to Clary's bed. I should have never left her alone with that psycho. What was I thinking? Oh right I was thinking that Kade was a scared paranoid pup. I sighed resting my head on my hands. If I can't even help her now, how am I supposed to protect her in the future? I could never marry her, and now with everything that just happened she'd never say yes. "No!" I said shaking my head to clear it of the negative thoughts. Stop being such a downer. Don't think of yourself think about Clary. I looked over at her sleeping body. "I'm sorry Clary. I'm so sorry," I whispered.
Simon POV
"I just got a call from Jace." I ran into the training room to find Alec throwing knives.
"Cool. What did he say."
"Oh nothing important… Just that they had a big fight and Clary is knocked out."
"WHAT?" Alec finally stopped what he was doing and looked over at me.
"Yep. She's been unconscious for 5 days now. Jace seemed pretty distraught."
"I have to go help him." Alec said grabbing out his phone so he could probably call Magnus.
"Don't. He said he didn't want anyone to come. He said this was something he had to fix on his own."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I have no idea." Alec put his phone back in his pocket and continued to throw knifes at the target. I walked out of the room in search of Izzy, I made it to Izzy's room and knocked on the door. "Izzy are you in there?" I asked hoping she'd answer the door.
There was no answer.
"Izzy please talk to me. I'm sorry for whatever I did," I repeated. Just then I heard something move inside her room. "Izzy I know you're in there."
"Go away you jerk!" she yelled.
"What the hell did I do? You have to tell me what I did," I yelled back.
Then something happened that I wasn't expecting. Isabelle opened the door but not the way you would expect. Nope she opened the door and hit me in the face with it.
I fell back and held my nose. "What the hell was that for?"
"Aw is the poor baby hurt. Well boo hoo," she said shooting me a look that was as cold as ice.
"What the hell is wrong with you? What did I do that would warrant you to break my nose with a fucking door?" I yelled holding my now throbbing nose.
"I didn't break your nose. If I did you wouldn't be yelling at me," she growled staring at nothing.
I stood up and took my hand away from my nose to check for blood. Luckily there was none. "Izzy what's wrong? I'm trying to fix something but I don't know what I'm trying to fix," I tried to explain.
Isabelle shot me another glare. "You know why I'm mad? It's because you're being so stupid by trying to become a Shadowhunter!"
"I thought you wanted me to try and be with you?"
"I do it's just that," Isabelle groaned hitting the wall. "becoming a Shadowhunter is dangerous and I can't protect you."
I snickered. "Izzy you can't protect me from everything. I have to do this."
"Why?" she asked nearly in tears.
I moved closer and held her hand. "Because than I can protect you." she pulled me closer into a hug. "And as soon as I become a shadowhunter, we can be together forever." She looked me in the eye, tears creeping down her face. She grabbed my face and brought her lips to mine. "What was that for?" I asked when she finally pulled away.
"I love you." she whispered.
"I love you too."
