Clary POV

I can't believe Jace asked me on date. He seems like the most caring person ever that is when he isn't acting like a total asshat. I have been so stressed this past week. I keep having nightmares about Sebastian and Valentine. Jace and Jon keep saying that they won't attack, but its not like we have an Alice Cullen who canread the future.

Jace took my mind off of things. When he looked into my eyes it felt like we were mesmerized. I know this probably sounds really cliche, but I think I might be in love with him. I was starting to get mad at myself for thinking that.

Clary, you don't have time for thinking about this, I reminded myself. Jace was due to pick me up in an hour. I ran upstairs and was very suprised to see a bag on my bed. It had a card on it and it read:

Dearest Clarissa,

I bought you this dress and shoes for our date tonight. Well actually Iz helped, but whatever. Anyway I can't wait to see you in this;)

-Jace

By the angel I thought. I opened the bag and gasped. It was the most beautiful dress I had ever seen before. It was a simple green, with a little black belt around the middle and lacey outer coverings. Jace had gotten me gold heels that were 5 inches high.

I put my clothes on and did my hair. I just attempted to tame out my mass of curls. I didn't put on any makeup because I hated it. I came downstairs and heard the doorbell. I opened it to see Jace wearing a suit and tie. I raised my eyebrows at him. He grabbed my hand and said ''We are going to our family party.''

I knew he had a mansion but big enough to have the entire family over? I don't think so. Jace must have read my expression and he said,

''My family has a stupid ballroom in our house for parties.''

I looked down at my shoes and Jace lifted my chin with his finger.

''Is there something wrong with that?'' he asked.

I shook my head, ''I don't know if I'm ready to meet your parents yet.'' I admitted.

Jace nodded and said ''How about we sneak you in,'' he said with a mischevious glint in his eye.

''I'll walk in and you will go up to my room and I'll meet you up there.'' he explained more thoroughly.

I nodded and we walked out to his Porsche.

LINEEEEEEEEEEE BREEEAAAAKKKKKKKK

When he pulled up to his driveway I gasped. I didn't know his house was that big. Jace chuckled at my suprised face. He ushered me inside his beautiful house. When I walked in I saw a ton of people and I cringed. Jace quickly took me aside and gave me directions toward his room. I nodded and followed as Jace went to find his parents.

Jace POV

She looked so beautiful in that dress. She looked so nervous when I told her where we were going. I silently chuckled at her but then I pulled up her chin. She melted under my touch. It was adorable when she gaped at my house. I told her I would be right in my room as soon as I could. I had to find my parents first to tell them I was here. I wouldn't have to see them the rest of the night becuase they probably would think I would be out with A girl.

I wandered until I saw Izzy. I asked ''Where is Maryse and Robert?''

''They had to go do something for the Clave.'' she answered.

Right when she answered the door banged open and their was a man. He looked very mysterious and he pointed a gun at someones head. Everyone backed up and the man said ''Where is Clarissa Morgenstern?''

Most of the people at the party were mundane but some were Shadowhunters. They hissed when they heard the name Morgenstern.

Shit, I thought. The man had a gun, I left Clary alone, and he was going to kill everyone until he found her. Jace was toward the back of the corwd and he was near a door. The man was glaring at everyone and when no one answered he shot the man in the head. The mundies started going crazy while the Shadowhunters drew their seraph blades.

I got mine out but didn't name it yet. I snuck my way toward our trap door and slid down. I was now in my celler. I drew a portal and went to my room. Clary was waiting on my bed. When she saw me she smiled and began talking. I grabbedher hand and started running toward the greenhouse.

''Valentine's men are here.'' I gasped to her. She took in a sharp intake of breath but kept on running. I brought her to the greenhouse and into the little closet in the greenhouse. I didn't think the man would come up here but just in case I drew an invisible rune on Clary. Only the drawer of the rune could see her, which was me.

She looked slightly confused and very frightened but she didn't cry. She just took some deep breaths. I heard the door to the greenhouse open and a male's voice said, ''Come on out Clarissa, I know you're in there.''

Damn, I thought they used a tracking spell. Clary started hypervenilating and I held her and she became quiet. I heard the footprints grow closer and closer. The man opened up the closet doors and his eyes skimmed right over Clary and onto me instead. He smirked at me and said ''Wayland, not man enough to fight, so you decided to hide.''

I growled at him. I recognized him as the one who had a gun. Not that the gun bothered me but he would probably kill Clary for it. He dragged me out of the closet and I grabbed out my seraph blade. This wasn't an even fight but I had to try. I knew what would happen. He laughed at me as he saw me grab out my seraph blade. He didn't know though, I had the element of suprise and no one knew about not even my parabatai Alec.

The man aimed the gun at my head and laughed as he pulled the trigger. I felt the pain, but I knew it would go away, it always did. I heard Clary start crying and I prayed the man had left to tell Valentine that Clary wasn't here. I saw the blood everywhere. My vision became so blurry as I took my last breath.

HI GUYS, SORRY FOR THE CLIFFY BUT I HAD THE BEST IDEA EVER FOR JACE. I JUST THOUGHT OF IT AND I FEEL LIKE A GENIUS. I WILL UPDATE VERY SOON, PROBABLY TOMORROW. I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT EASTER! READ AND REVIEW PLEASE:)
