This is the chapter everyone was waiting to read! Enjoy! Sorry for updating all late and wrong! Had guitar practice and projects to type, but here's chapter 10!
"Clary," The black silhouette of a tall, broad shouldered, man said. Clary sat there looking up to the man, she was tied against a pole. Her back was cold where the pole touched. The rope seemed to be moving but tight, it was scaly and leathery, and she seemed to be under a spot light she thought. Red eyes had shown through the dark and she heard slithers.
Clary shrieked when she saw that the ropes were actually snakes. The snake that, seemed to have red eyes even in the light, came up to Clary's forehead. Something shined and light came onto the snakes head, there seemed to be a ying-yang symbol on his forehead.
The snake backed out and the silhouetted man walked towards her. He tried to touch her but the light seemed to threaten him so he put his hand down. He snapped his fingers and the snake came back. It slithered up Clary's arm and rested on her shoulder. It opened its mouth wide and bit Clary's neck.
Clary wanted to scream and run but she felt frozen, her eyes became wide and she felt cold spreading through her body. "He has killed Sebastian and he is coming back. You will remember soon, but right now you, you have memories of us, fake, but still, that should keep us going." He said walking towards the light. As he came into the light, Clary saw his green eyes first and thought they were oddly cold. He had long dark hair that parted on the side of his face. He had fair skin, his brows arched and he had long eye lashed that curled. He looked like a dark angel, his stare was distant and cold. He kissed her on her lips. His lips were cold.
Clary opened her eyes and saw the white ceiling. She was gasping for air but she didn't know why. She often woke up confused, scared, cold and sometimes aroused. When she did get those feelings she never remembered her dreams and didn't know why she was feeling that way. She pushed the thoughts back and got up, she looked around her room and she thought it was oddly empty now that Stephen has his own room in the Institute.
She striped her clothes off and got in the shower. The cold water woke her up and felt awake. She wrapped herself in a towel and her hair in a second towel. She went into her closet and looked for an outfit. A green skirt caught her eye. It had a blouse to go with it. The blouse had not sleeves and has ruffles coming down in the front, the emerald skirt came just above her knees and there was a black belt to put it all together.
She put the outfit on and put on some wedges that were ankle tied with a bow. She looked in the mirror and curled her hair. After getting her hair the way she wanted it, she gave herself a good look in the mirror and a memory hit her.
Oh God Jace, I can't believe I forgot about that night. Idiot, Clary told herself. She smacked her forehead with her palm and she felt warmth go through her and she smiled to herself before heading out the door.
She walks down the hall and turns into Stephen's room. Izzy was in there taping Stephen while he painted with his fingers.
"Clary, come here, look at what Stephen drew!" Izzy said with excitement and proudness as she pointed to the little cardboard paper with paint on them.
Clary walked closer and saw that he drew lines and shapes and when Clary really got to look at it, it was a rune, the rune of remembrance. "Izzy, he drew a rune, the rune for remembrance." Clary said with seriousness in her voice.
Izzy looked at it real hard, and then nodded her head slowly "Your right, it is. Whoa, I am glad to have caught this on tape. Clary, I think Stephen has chosen the shadowhunter's world. What do you think Clary?" Izzy asked as she looked at Stephen's hands.
"This isn't my decision but I think we should have Alec train him, like let him see the weapon room and Alec train in front of him. I want him to be the very best, I want him to be able to be independent and know how to protect himself if anything were to happen…just in case…" Clary said leaving the last couple of words in the air.
"Yea okay i'll do it right away Clary." Izzy said letting Clary pick up Stephen.
Both the girls walked down the hall and went down the elevator to go to the weapons room. There was an awkward silence but Clary broke it.
"Have you heard about Luke's pack and their new leader? Maia told me about it, she was so excited. Wanna guess why?" Clary said with a little anger.
"I'm guessing Jordan's the new leader," Izzy said with a little boredom. "Luke was always the best leader for them."
"It's okay Izzy its been 2 years since that night. We have already gotten our revenge on the greater demons. That reminds me, I haven't heard of any demon activities in a month."
"Matt, why did you decide to give the girl's memories back?" Kaelie asked
"Jace has killed Sebastian once again and in her sleep he put a remembrance rune on her and when he returns she will remember everything and that would make me look back so i just gave her back her memories and got rid of the memories of me benign Jace's spot. so you know, it wouldn't confuse her but since i love her to much to let her go, i just imputed false memories of us in her mind, of me as a human ."
"Why don't you just kill Jace and have Clary all for yourself. look at how much you can do," Kaelie suggested
"Your right Kaelie but, i'm waiting for the right time, he can easily kill any greater demons that comes to him. He has gotten so strong, the realm of the demons have heard of him, the angel of death, they call him, and some go out and try to kill him to get pride but they all end up being killed. Girls flock to him, even demon girls want him, he is very famous you know and I want everyone to see me, kill him." Matt said with an evil grin across his face
"Great idea Matt, I used to have a relationship with him years back, I knew him before Clary did." Kaelie mentioned trying to get Matt's interest.
"Speaking of Clary, it's our 1 year anniversary today, a year since I first erased her memory of Jace and the first time we kissed. Now delay Jace form coming back here by sending greater demons after him. This will help you control them," he said handing her a golden ring, he cut his fingers with an extended nail and with his blood he drew a crescent on her forehead. "Put the ring on, and just do the ritual to summon the demons since you're a downworlder." he said getting off the tree he was leaning on. They were far enough from the fae's territory so the Queen of Seelie wont know.
"Don't give him anything sharp or to dangerous." Clary said from across the room looking for a weapon that wasn't to dangerous.
"Well, Clary we are definitely not in a weapons room for killing demons,were in a room full of safe, playful toys for 3 year olds" Izzy said sarcastic.
Clary ignored it and pulled off a short whip for beginners off a hook on the wall "look I found something that wont be to dangerous and since Alec is on vacation with Magnus and you're fabulous with the whip, can you be generous and help train your little nephew?" Clary asked pleadingly
"Okay, fine. I know its your anniversary with Matt today and since you're dressed so nice so just go, but Clary, Protection or just don't do it at all. It wont look good in the shadowhunter world and I don't think we can handle another one," she said watching Stephen play with the whip.
"Izzy, no, no , no, and if you didn't hear me clear enough no, n-o, i'm not going to do anything, I like Matt but I don't know if I love him…" Clary said with a little sadness in her voice.
"Clary, the time will come and you will know if you love him but don't push yourself hun," Izzy said walking towards the saddened girl and putting her hand on her shoulders.
"Izzy I love you," Clary said jokingly.
"I know you do," she said back.
"Do me a favor?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"Can you record Stephen for me if he does anything spectacular?"
Izzy laughed and smiled at her friend. "of course Clary, anything else?" she asked sarcastically.
"Actually there is, can you give me push so I can have a little more confidence in myself?"
Izzy smiled at her friend before turning her around and give her a push out the door.
"Matt, you're so cute when you do that half smile" Clary said as she smiles back at him.
"Well, when i'm with you I cant help but smile baby." Clary could feel herself blushing a little.
They were on their first anniversary, having a picnic at the central park like any normal couple would do. But clary is not the average redhead you think. She is an extraordinary shadowhunter, one of the nephilim. she has powers beyond any shadowhunter can do.
"Clary, I just wanna say I love you and cheers to our 1 year anniversary," matt said and handed Clary a glass of Merlots's famous wine.
Clary thought yep it's been a year...where are you?
"Clare-bear?" Matt was calling out, snapping her out of her reverie.
"Yeah?"
"You okay? You seem a little out of it."
"No, i'm fine I just was amazed at how great this wine taste is." Clary said obviously a lie, she hated wine but he loved it and she loved him. No wait, that's not the word for it, he makes her happy and keeps her mind from going off.
The sound of thunder ruined their picnic. "oh great! We better get you home before it starts to pour," matt said helping her up with a hand. She liked Matt cause he never asked her to stay over at his house ad respects her privacy.
"No wait Matt, i've been thinking, I mean if its fine with you that... I spend the night?" Clary wanted to get the negative thoughts out of her mind and plus his house was closer to the Park then the Institute. Matt blushed at the surprising question and held her around the waist and kissed her passionately on her lips. Clary was about to move her hands up to his neck when a drop of rain came down on her forehead. She broke the kiss and they got their things together and walked hand in hand to Matts house.
They busted through the doors soaked and matt turned on the lights. Matt put the wet stuff in the laundry room and got some towels for them. He took off his shirt and threw it in the washer. Clary blushed a little at his perfect body and his 6 pack abs. his muscles in his arms and his medium sized hips and how his jeans sagged and you could see his striped boxers. It showed a little to much skin.
he got one of his clean white button up shirts and some shorts. she had to tighten the shorts a little so it wouldn't fall or sag but his hips were bigger then hers by a lot since she was small and had small hips to begin with. the shirt was big and long, the sleeves didn't fit so she rolled them up. when she walked out the bathroom, Matt was leaning against one of walls, he was blushing when she walked out then started laughing.
"What? What's so funny?" Clary asked raising an eyebrow. yes, she can do it, she is so very proud of herself (;
Matt pointed down at her chest and Clary looked and realized her bra was wet and it wet the white shirt and was see-through. "Nice purple lacy bra. Victoria secret's?" Matt said Jokingly.
Clary walked away but accidentally on-purpose bump into him. He grabbed her from behind the waist and spun her. The warmth of his body warmed her coldness from the wet cloths she was running in. he picked her up bridal style and kissed her. she wrapped her arms around his neck and they began making out.
He dropped her down on his bed and Clary needed a second to think straight after the intense make out session. She was so in it that she didn't even realized he walked up the stairs and into his room.
"You look so innocent Clary, makes me wanna eat you up," he said licking her lips. She shuttered at the softness of his tongue.
Matt kissed her again and they started making out again. He moved his hands up and unbutton the buttons on her shirt. He slid it off her and it fell on the bed as Matt picked her up onto him so she was sitting on his lap. He laid down and they were still kissing with Clary on top.
Matt moved and turned so that he was now on top, he licked her nipples and Clary moaned. He slid his hands down her pants and stuck a finger in, she moaned even harder. "you sound so cute and vulnerable Clary." he said in a whisper in Clary's ear.
Clary stop, stop now before it's too late, a voice in her mind was telling her but the intensity of the situation was to much. Clary STOP IT! The voice screamed and she came to reality. She pushed Matt up and he looked angry and confused.
"What's wrong Clary? is it too much? i know we haven't done things like this and i don't want to push you-"
"No, you're not pushing anything, it's just that I forgot something. Izzy wanted me home before 11 cause she and Simon were supposed to go out and Stephen would be left alone. I'm sorry Matt, I really am but I have to go," she said getting up and hurrying for her bra.
"No, its fine. I understand, a little bummed but I understand." Matt said trying to hold down the anger inside of him So close, Jace he must be back and the rune must be drawing her towards him. Kaelie you idiotic bitch why couldn't you hold him off a little longer! he thought to himself while keeping a half smile that Clary couldn't resist
"Aww Matt," Clary said and kissed him on the cheek.
Matt pulled her closer and kissed her on the lips, trying to get her back into it.
"Matt stop," she said pushing him away.
"Okay, I understand you don't want this and I was being pushy, your cloths are dried by now just go, and here," he said not even hiding the disappointment in his voice as he walked over his desk and handed her some cash. "It's for a taxi,"
"Matt it's not like that," Clary tried to say but he turned on the TV and laid in his bed with just boxers on.
"Clary, just go," he sat up and pinched the brig of his nose. "please," he said
"i'm sorry," was all Clary said before rushing down the stairs, she held back the tears as she put on her cloths and shoes and walked out. she walked to the institute instead, it was pretty quiet in between hours and at midnight. she liked this but she was so used to the traffic and cars rushing by and honking at each other, the new yorkers who flocked the streets and downworlders hiding and glamouring as regular people.
Why did I just do that? Izzy's home probably with Stephen sleeping in his bed, safe and sound. Why do I feel like something's not right? I do I feel this odd attraction to go home. I feel like something's waiting for me. Ugh i'm such a stupid girl, I pissed off my own boyfriend and lied to him, but then again I have to lie to him about who I really am.
Clary wished she gotten a taxi since it started to rain again. She ran up to the steps that led up into the institute.
Clary opened the big double doors of the institute and was welcomed by the bright witchlights in the torches. it lit up the hallway as she made her way to the elevator. it opened and closed with a clank sound. she walked into Stephen's room and smiled as she saw him sleeping in his toddlers bed. he walked to it and kissed him on his forehead, and fixed his blanky "I love you Stephen," she said before closing the door.
She walked into her room and the curtain was thrown aside and the window wide open. The street lights poured in from the outside and Clary could hear the 1 a.m. traffic out in the streets. Clary's heart pounded and she grabbed for her double bladed baton in her purse. She saw something move in the shadows and all her nerves were on high alert. She had a lot of training and was ready for any demon but she knew none could get in the institute, she wondered who or what she was facing.
The figure stepped into the light from the window and Clary's mouth dropped open in an 'O' shape. (he was wet also as he came in with the rain) she was frozen with shock and couldn't say a word. He walked closer to her "Don't move any closer," she said with a shaking voice that could crack at any moment.
He stopped walking and watched her as she watched him. "Clary, it's me," he said
"Don't say my name like that! I don't know you and you don't know me anymore!" she heard her voice go up into a yell and she stopped before she said anymore and tried to hold the tears back but they fell anyway.
He saw her as a tears fell and he hated himself, he hated when she cried and hated it even more since now, he was the reason for her tears. "Clary, i'm sorry, please, i know you wont forgive me but-"
"No, no I can't forgive you, it's been three years and you left nothing behind but a note, you didn't even tell me! You just left Jace!"
