Quick A/N- The format of this chapter is a bit weird today becuase of my computer ( Both the computers in our house crashed) So...SORRY!

CPOV

Ellie stiffened beside me while Chance and Manny came up behind me.

I choked on my water ( again).
" What for the love of god are you doing here?" I half screamed.

His mouth pulled up in a bit of a smirk. I knew that look.

" I actually came here looking for someone. A girl. Short. Red hair?
Bit of an attitude? Seen her around?" He said easily, moving out of the
wall and took a few steps towards me.

I scowled at him.

" Ellie? I'm hungry. Can you guys go pick up some food?" I asked
without turning around. I kept my eyes locked with Jace's.

" Red. Were all for following orders but were not leaving you here
alone with...What's his face" Manny said coming to stand beside
protectively.

" I second that" Chance said moving up to stand next to Manny.

I raised my eyebrows. They had never directly ignored something I said
before.

Ellie watched Jace quietly. A small smile was on her lips.

" Manny, Chance. I'm hungry too. Let's go grab some Chinese or
something" she said.

I turned to Ellie in shock. She had wanted to beat Jace to the ground
a couple hours ago.

Manny and Chance looked dumbstruck.

Jace even looked a bit shocked. One of his eyebrows was raised in
confusion.

" I said I'm hungry!" Ellie said louder her eyes changing colour. Both
the boys faces glazed over and they walked over to the door without a
sound.

" Ellie? What did I tell you about mind control?" I asked with a frown
in her direction as she grabbed her jacket and purse.

"Don't use it unless it's necessary blah blah blah. Insert lecture
about abusing my powers here. Blah blah" Ellie smiled and left the
room before I could say another word.

I smiled a bit before turning around to face Jace once again.

"You had better have a really good reason for showing up here!" I
growled, keeping my voice low and emotionless.

" I already told you I'm looking for a short red head with attitude"
he said easily.

I ground my teeth together and clenched my fists.

"Jace Way...Lightwood!" I said correcting myself. I looked in the
eyes.

He flinched slightly but other than that his face remained blank.

" I meant what I said. I'm looking for someone who you used to be
you" Jace said walking closer to me.

It took every fiber of my being to not smack him across the face.

" I'm still the same person but I can now kick a demons ass instead of
being the little mundane stuck in the corner," I said as if it was the
most obvious thing in the world.

" Ha! Yes you really are the same person Clary! Because last time I
saw you, I'm sure that holding a seraph blade to your friends neck was
something you loved to do" he said sarcastically.

I flinched just a bit. Ok so holding a blade to Isabelle's neck...a
bit over the line, but holding a blade up to Jace.

"Speechless? No comment? You know I'm right" He drawled.

I should have held it up to his neck just a BIT longer!

" So are you playing messenger now?" I asked sweetly.

" Not exactly. I just had to talk to you. I had a question that had
been bothering me since you just picked up and left," He said more
seriously.

I gave him a questioning look and he continued.

"Were you ever planning on coming back to New York and at least
telling us… or hell screw 'us'! Were you ever planning on coming back
to tell ME! Tell me that you were OK!" He asked his voice raising a
few levels.

I looked at him. His eyes showed emotion. For once in his life his
eyes showed Pain, Misery, and Lose and...Love.

I ignored the feelings that surfaced and focused on something. The
pledge I made to the Cross. Ellie. Chance. Manny. And Beau.

I summoned every feeling of hate and pain that Beau had caused me. Had
caused all of us.

I was not going back to the Institute. I was going to kill Beau and
than go back to my New Home. To my New Family.

JPOV

I watched Clary take a deep breath.

Finally! I'm going to get my answers. She might...

She might come back to me.

Hate flashed through her eyes and she opened her mouth to speak.

" Clary!" Someone screamed.

I turned around to see Ellie and the two boys run through the door.

Their faces were frantic.

" Clary. Beau! He's back" Ellie said urgently.

Ok so Its actually kinda really short! I'm Sorry! But I'm getting a laptop soon so I that way if the stupid house computers don't work than I can use that.

ONCE AGAIN REALLY SORRY BOUT HOW SHORT IT IS! My comp is kinda being messed.!

Anyway, REVIEW!
