Jace's POV
As I drag Aldertree's body down the empty hallways I couldn't help but think back to what happened in the library with Clary. She tasted like cherries and apples and her hair tangled in my fingers felt so right. I don't know what I just did or if Clary liked it but I feel hell of a lot better when I kissed her and she actually kissed me back. I reached Aldertree's room and put him on the bed then I grab some bourbon and placed it beside him so he'll think he passed out drunk. After all I'm 100% sure he would celebrate a Morgenstern's death.
I slowly made my way down to the halls and see all the shadowhunters leaving. I guess now that they think Clary is dead that they have nothing else to do but leave and keep a look out for Sebastian and Lilith.
Hours pass and nothing is happening and no one is coming to sight. The Institute was covered in a blanket of eerie silence which made me feel really uncomfortable. I finally decide to train because that's what I usually do during my spare times. I quickly get into a pair of black sweatpants and put on some black Nike trainers. I walk to the training room, taking in the silence when I notice a certain red head in front of the mirrored walls. She looked at herself, at her demon scar and I could see her lips curl up in disgust. There was anger behind her eyes, at that moment I just wanted to hug her and tell her it wasn't her fault. I walked up to her slowly knowing that she could see me coming; hence the mirror. She's beautiful; how her red hair falls elegantly on her shoulders, her bright green eyes. She was wearing her usual black Nike sports bra, black leggings and black and white tennis shoes. Never in a million years would I picture the old Clary wearing this without being forced. When she saw me coming she blushed deeply, which I found to be incredibly cute.
"Admiring yourself?" She doesn't turn around to me but still talks.
"What is there to admire?" I frowned at that. She still doesn't know how beautiful she is.
"You're right." This time she turns around and looks into my eyes. "What is there to admire if someone already admires it so much." She blushes even more, turning into a light cherry color.
"No, you're right. I couldn't stay away from you and I still can't." My heart skips a beat when she says this.
"So what are we waiting for?" I asked purely out of curiosity. She looks down at the ground and blushes into a deep red.
"I think I'm waiting for you." She says still not looking at me.
"What about me are you waiting for? I've wanted you for the past 3 years." I took a step closer and whisper into her ears. "I'm all yours." She looks up and I pull her close, our lips collide together. I start kissing her gently but soon I realized she didn't want to be gentle so I picked up the pace. I pushed her against the wall; she wound her arms around my neck while she pulled both her thighs up so she was cradling my hip. We tried to get closer and closer but there was no way of getting closer to a person than this.
A sudden thud jolted us apart and then followed by some crumbling noises and then another thud. Clary and I looked at each other for a second. She quickly draws out her stele and then draws a Sight rune on my back and the glamour rune on her hand. Even though no one else will see her, I can because she gave me a Sight rune. We rushed down the hallway and spotted Izzy and Alec running down the hallway too. We ran after them not sure of what's happening but not before stocking up on weapons. As we got closer and closer there was a sudden stench that was all too familiar to me…demon. I look at Clary and see she noticed the same thing as me. How did a demon get inside the Institute? When we turned the corner my eyes widened with surprise. There I see a large demon that I've never seen before. It looked almost like a 3-D shadow but it had red eyes and ichor dripping from its body, it was more than 10 feet tall; almost touching the roof. I cringed at the thing whatever it was. I saw Izzy, Alec, Amelia and Alvin attacking it from all sides while Magnus roamed around it; his hands glowing blue and Simon hissing at it and then jumping to attack every once in a while.
Soon enough Clary took charge at the creature jumping up to heights even a rune couldn't take. I watched as she hit the creature and started sliding down while the blade was still in it. The demon started to form a hand at its side that wasn't there before and swatted Clary. She hit the wall behind her and then fell painfully to the ground; more ichor was now flowing out of the demon's sides. I charged at it bringing two throwing blades and then swinging both of them; one hit the demon's eyes while the other hit the arm that wasn't there before. I looked over at where Clary fell; she wasn't there anymore; the demon shrieked in pain. Suddenly there were explosions echoing in halls. I look up to see that there are bubbles of sparks going up and around the demon's body and in the midst of it I can see red. Clary. I jump into action suddenly realizing that she's the distraction soon Alec, Izzy, Alvin, Amelia, Simon and Magnus also realize the plan and start attacking the demon from all sides. The demon exploded into ichor than disappeared. Clary fell into a pile or ichor and winced in pain, I quickly went to her.
"Do you need and iratze?" I asked; the concern in my voice purely audible. Everyone else had confused looks on their faces, while she nodded. After I was done tracing the iratze on her I looked at everyone's confused gazes.
"Jace, who are you talking to?" Isabelle asked clearly not remembering the powerful glamour's she can draw.
"Clary. Izzy remember about her angel stele?" Izzy seemed to understand now. Clary suddenly reappeared.
"Here give me each of your hands and don't worry I'll put a binding rune on Magus and Simon so they can share the Sight without actually putting on the rune. Anyone care to volunteer?" Clary seemed really excited about the runes and I was happy that she got to keep this side of the Clary I knew. Alec instantly volunteered for Magnus and Izzy for Simon. Izzy and Simon have been a thing ever since Clary left. It was actually thanks to Clary that Simon and Izzy became so close. Simon would always be upset but Izzy seemed to cheer him up every time. I watch as Clary draws the runes on everyone and then draws the glamour rune on herself.
"Can you guys see me still?" Clary asked; I could hear the amusement in her voice.
"Yep!" Everyone replied in unison.
"Hey Clary?" I say in the most childish voice ever; I can see Izzy smirk from the corner of my eye.
"Hmm?"
"What were those exploding thingys that you used on the demon?" I've never seen a shadowhunter weapon like that.
"Oh those, they're something I designed; Alvin and Amelia helped me build them except I don't know what to call them. They were meant to be distractions and I guess they work! Alvin suggested Morgenbombs as in Morning Bombs in honor of my great last name!" I said the last part sarcastically.
"I actually like the name Morgenbombs." Simon sounded extremely interested, Alvin put his arm up in a fist pump and I just glare at them.
"Care to explain what that thing was though?" Jace interrupted by glare.
"Oh yah!" I totally forgot to tell them this but who can blame me; I basically jumped off a bridge yesterday and then met angel Raziel. "Did I forget to mention that Sebastian can not only raise/control demons but can also create new species of demons using Lilith's blood?" They all gaped at me with surprise.
"Nope!" They all yelled at me with unison. If this is one of the things Sebastian created and I don't want to know what else he can do.
