To the Fading author, who always gives me the best reviews, I'm glad my story is better than calculus homework!
And I just want to say thanks to Lovin' this read my idea for giving me a great idea. It's not going to be exactly like the one you gave me, but it's going to be a lot alike. Thanks!
Okay, so here's something I'd like to share. I know there are some of you out there who get bullied, or see it happening around you, and well… you want to talk about it. My friend has this website where you can. I have some friends who have been bullied. I want it to stop. I've never been bullied myself, but like I said, my friends have. And I think we all know that if our friends were being put down, we'd do anything we can to stop it. So I just wanted to spread the word about my friend's website so you know there is somewhere where you can talk about being bullied, or whatever! It doesn't have a lot of members on it because no one knows about it, and it just started. So here's the link, just take out all the spaces.

also, if you have time, check out a video on youtube called "what's going on" it has a boy with what looks like ear buds in. it's super sad, but very insperational.
previously:
"Where am I," I thought.
"That doesn't matter," a voice says.
I quickly turn around to face the person. It's a lady. A beautiful one at that.
"who are you," I ask.
She shacks her head. "You don't believe in me."
"Who are you," I repeat.
"I am Aphrodite. Goddess of love."
(Jace's pov.)
"A goddess," I laughed. "Look, honey, I'm new to this whole Greek god stuff, but I highly doubt they just up and visit shadow hunters. Even if they look as amazing as me." What? Just because I find out my sister (the love of my life) has been keeping a secret from me for two years doesn't me I stop being a cocky b******.
"I know you do not believe, child," she said. "But you must listen."
"And why would I do that?"
"Because it is about your sister. The one you love." Okay so the lady got my attention.
"Is she okay? She's not in trouble right? What's going on!"
"I am not allowed to tell, but do not worry. She is fine. I'm here to help you."
"Why me and what from?"
She shook her head, laughing. "Silly boy. I protect you from your own heart."
"Still, why me?"
"Because I haven't seen a love story like this for ages. This is one I wish to be a part of."
I sighed. She was killing me! I didn't need another reminder that I couldn't be with Clary.
Floating over, she cupped my chin. "Do not worry. I will help you."
She started to fade, and I scrambled to keep her there. "Wait! Wait! You have to tell me! How are you going to help me! Please!"
I shot up, almost falling off the bed in the process. My breaths were coming in small pants. The dream—it was so real. So very, very real. I could still feel the goddesses touch on my chin. I even placed my own hand over it to see if it was still there.
Sighing, I fell back onto the bed. When did my life become so compacted? When I met Clary. I would never have come here had I known Clary. I would never be getting myself into another war at the same time I was fighting against Valentine. I would never have fallen in love.
I'm so cliché.
(Clary's Pov.)
I stood at the table, Percy to my left, Annabeth to my right, Rachel across from me, and about half the camp surrounding me.
"so, if Rachel is right," I started. "The demons and monsters will be rising up and we'll have to work with the Shadow hunters to stop them."
Percy sighed. "I think it's time to call a Camp meeting. Get all the counselors together, and let's talk."
We all gathered into the Big house, everyone sitting around the table. I sat next to Percy, and glanced around.
"So, fill me in," Travis said. "I was busy, didn't hear anything."
"Rachel thinks she's figured out the prophesy," I said. "The two worlds part probably refers to the shadow hunters world and our world. The monsters might rise up, creating a war between us, and them. And with every war comes it's fair share of death and destruction. And the one child saves all is…" I swallowed. "Rachel thinks its me."
"Makes sense," Annabeth said. "Think, it's all connected. Clary is most likely the prophesy child."
"For once, I agree without argument," Clarisse said. "It's you, no doubt about it."
"Really wishing you'd disagree," I mumbled, but softly so she couldn't hear.
"So—plan of action," Percy said, clapping his hands together. "We're going to need one."
"I say we start with telling the Shadow hunters first," a voice from across the table said. I stood up a bit to see who it was.
"Good idea, Remi," Percy said. "We can't really start planning without having them in on it."
"So, I'll get into Idris, talk to the Clave, and try and convince them to work with us. But I'm warning you, they may not listen to a kid like me."
"I'll go with you to help," Percy said. "Any more ideas?"
We shot around a few ideas on what we should do when the time came to going into the war, but there weren't any good ones. Finally, after an hour, we all got up and left.
Percy walked out with Annabeth, listening to her battle strategies, and I was stopped by a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see the leader of the Tych cabin and smiled. "Oh, hey Remi."
"Hey Clary. so, I heard your other brother is here. Jace right?"
I sighed. "Yeah. Sadly, Chiron made us let him in."
"Don't get along?" he guessed.
"Not that, it's just after two years of secrets, he's not exactly happy with me, so…"
"I see, that must suck. But better now, before the Clave, then having him hear it from them."
"I actually didn't tell him myself," I said, starting to walk out.
"How—wait, let me guess… when you were attacked, Percy told him."
I paused and looked at him. "How'd you do that?"
He shrugged, smiling. "I'm just that good I guess."
"No seriously, how?"
He rubbed the back of his neck. "Annabeth might have told me."
I laughed, and slapped his arm softly.
"so, win any unlikely games lately?" I asked. being the offspring of the goddess of luck, he was known to win the most unlikely of things. Not to mention they like to gamble.
"Well, at the wonderful land of cabin 19, we always have a game of chance going on. And of coarse… I won!"
I shook my head, laughing. "Why am I not surprised?"
"Because I'm amazing." He turned to me. "so, you want help practicing your skills today?"
I pondered this for a second. "I guess so. Gods know that if I'm really the prophesy child I'm going to need all the practice I can get."
I put a hand on my shoulder. "It may not come down to you fighting off the biggest monster. We'll just have to see."
"A little good luck?" I asked.
He laughed. "sure. I'll give you all the luck you need." Hugging him goodbye, I walked in the opposite direction. Remi was a good friend. He made some good jokes, and it was fun to play cards with him even though I lost every time.
"so who was that," a voice asked as I walked past the bathrooms. I turned to look at Jace, who looked, well—angry.
"A friend," I said, simply.
"Not another brother right?" he growled.
I shook my head. "I only have one other brother Jace. Well, he's not really even that. My father made him, and we call each other brother and sister, but we aren't. ugg, just forget about it."
"Is there anything you want to tell me? Anything you want to get off your chest, to you know, make sure that when I find out—which I will—that I won't be upset about."
I sighed, thinking. "Um, I'm going to Idris to convince the Clave to fight with us."
He just laughed. "You really think you can convince the clave that demigods are real?"
I shrugged. "Worth a shot. And I'll have help."
"From who?"
"You and Percy of course."
Not exactly a cliffy, but not exactly a soft landing. Review please
