Hey all, I would firstly like to apologize. I have been at the softball world series and before that I was in Australia. I have been trying to type, but I didn't have my computer or my Bluetooth keyboard. Also, thank you so much for the reviews, I did reach my mark, so please, five reviews. I promise I will try to get another chapter up by the end of the week.
Wako Fact: I'm a cross-country jumper
CLARY'S POV
The subway slows up at yet another stop, and once again, Jace tells not to leave our seats. I groan and punch his shoulder lightly.
"Are you sure you know where we are going Jace, we have been ridding on here for a while." I mumble and he sighs.
"Yes, I would have had us just brake the law if I wasn't positive. We are getting off at the next stop, so shut up and sit down." Jace says back and I lean against my seat.'
"Jace, just out of curiosity, how did you find out about this place?" Alec asks him and I whip around to face him, because he still hasn't given me a straight answer.
"I know some people." He says simply and I slap the back of his head.
"Why the hell do you have to be so God damn vague?" I grow at him, and Magnus raised an eyebrow at me.
"Sorry, but I'm tired of the lies." I mumble and Jace sighs. The subway car pulls to a stop.
"This is our stop, Simon and Magnus, stay in the middle, we are walking down a dark subway area." Jace says, and we walk off the train.
"How far is it?" I ask and Jace just shrugs. I am really getting sick of all of this, all of the lack of honestly. He may be thinking he's protecting me, or maybe one of his friends, but its not working. I keep my mouth shut for now, but for the sake of us, Jace needs to watch himself.
We walk for about ten minutes before Jace smiles. He pulls out his phone and turns on his flashlight, before putting one finger to his lips.
"WILL!" He yells, and a group of kids come out of the dark. I narrow my eyes to see better, and I see a boy that looks like a cross between Alec and Jace, and Luke?
"Why is Luke here, I thought it was ran by all kids," I mumble and Magnus takes a step forward.
"Why is Will here?" He asks and I raise my hand.
"Who the hell is Will, I am so confused." I say and Jace chuckles at me. He pulls whoever Will is into a hug. I walk over to Luke and shove his shoulders.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I ask him and he smirks.
"Don't make me beat it out of you, you know I can," I say and he sighs.
"Jace texted me, said you guys needed help. I run this place here, but I know that you guys would trust kids more then you trust adults, and it just so happens that I know Jace's cousin so he's here too." Luke says and I groan. I walk away from him, and make my way back towards Jace.
"Who are you?" I ask stepping between "Will," and Jace.
"Who are you?" He says back to me, and I narrow my eyes.
"Will," Jace warns, and I stand up a little straighter.
"Will Herondale, and you might be?" Will says and I sigh.
"That tells me shit, how do you know Jace?" I ask, and Will smirks.
"How do you?" He shoots back.
"He's my cousin Clary, what did Luke have to say?" Jace asks and shrug.
"That's not important. I see that you two are related, you two are both asses." I mumble the last part, as I walk over to Alec, grabbing Jace by the back of his shirt.
"Sorry to break up this little family reunion, but we have work to do." I say as we meet up with everyone else.
"We need to split up, meet back here in an hour? We should all still have our phones." Alec asks and I nod. Jace and I end up going back to Will.
"What can I do for you sweetheart?" Will says to me, and I cross my arms over my chest.
"Help us out sugarplum." I say back and Jace snorts behind me at my absurd kindness.
"I think we should go talk to Tessa. She is a computer wiz, so I'm sure she could find you guys some information." Will says and I nod.
THIRD PERSON POV
"You let them go!" He roars, slamming the note down on the table.
"You got played by a bunch of children!" He yells again, punching a hole in the hotel wall.
"You didn't tell us they could fight." One of his goons says, tenderly poking his fresh black eye.
"You got played." He growls, punching the table. All of his goons take a couple steps back, and he glances down at the note once more. He reads it again silently to himself.
Daddy's little girl
"I want her friends dead, and I want my daughter brought to me, dead or alive." He growls, and his goons run out of the room.
JACE'S POV
"I have a place that you guys can stay if you are willing to share with Tessa and I." Will says and I turn to Clary, who is slightly nodding next to me.
"Sure, thank you, come with us, we need to grab everyone else." I say as we start to head back towards our meeting spot
(TIME SKIP)
We walk into the room and I smile. There are two sets of bunk beds, and I glance over at Clary, who is chewing on her bottom lip.
"We had our friend drop off some clothes for you guys, Jace, we have most of your stuff because you have left things at my house, so Tessa and I can step out, and you guys can talk." Will grabs Tessa by the hand and they walk out of the room.
"Clary and Jace, go change first in the bathroom, Simon and Iz, you can change out here, we can change in the closet." Magnus says and I nod.
I follow behind Clary as we walk into the restroom. I scoop up some clothes on my way, and toss a long shirt and shorts to Clary. I step behind the curtains and change, before asking Clary if she is finished.
"Yeah, but Jace, we need to talk." She says and I step out of the curtain.
"Yeah, what's up?" I ask, sitting down on a side stool.
"Why are you keeping things from us, from me?" She asks me, staring at the ground.
"What are you talking about?" I ask, because the only thing I could remember was the thing about Will.
"That fact that you didn't tell us that Will was your cousin, or that you knew Luke was going to be there." Bingo.
"I felt like I was not only protecting them, but I was protecting you and Alec, and everyone else." I say and she corks her eyebrows.
"What di you mean protecting us?" She asks and I sigh. I really didn't want to get into this conversation.
"I was going to tell you before we had the run in with the cop in the subway station, but then when we got into trouble, I stopped myself. I though that what if I get caught, but not by cops, by Valentine. I felt that if we got caught then you wouldn't have anything to tell him, and I would have everything. I would rather something happen to me, then it happen to the rest of you." I say, and she shakes her head.
"No."
"What?" I ask her, and she crashes her lips into mine. I fall backwards, but catch myself with my hand.
"Shut up." She says and I sigh.
"Clary…" I say but she puts a hand over my mouth.
"I don't want you to say anything like that again. Our lives are not more important that yours, and I swear Jonathan Christopher Wayland, I will… I will… damn, give me some time to think and as soon as it comes to me, I will make it happen to you." She says and I let a small chuckle escape my lips.
"Jace, come on, they are going to think we are doing something." Clary mumbles banging on the wall.
"Are you guys decent?" She yells, and I hear a chorus of yeses. She pushes out of the bathroom. I follow close behind her, keeping a hand on her lower back.
"What took you two so long?" Isabelle asks smirking.
"I thought you guys were going to call us out but nobody did so…" Clary covers. I smile and I drag her down on to a bottom bunk with me.
"I think we need to talk," Alec says and we all turn to him.
ONCE AGAIN SORRY FOR THE WAIT, FIVE REVIEWS PLEASE!
