DJ: okay, I've been so stuck on this story that I decided that this chapter is going to be a fun chapter. A whole bunch of nothing. It's going to be a quick finish from the last chapter, then onto the fun! And I'll start addressing the Aiden-Macey problem too. A lot of that I think. I'll get back on topic next chapter. I'd also like to take this time to say that this story will be over soon. I feel that it's time to bring it all in. Sorry if you don't like it, but I'm not really into it anymore, and feel terrible about the lack of updates. I'm only doing this now for you. I'm trying my hardest and I know it sucks. I've also been working hard on another story I'll be writing after this. Info about it at the bottom.

So now onto the story!


(Cammie's pov.)

Honestly, the COC really were dumb. Attacking me at a spy school? Of course the girl's heard me fighting them off. They're spies! Once they heard the yelling, it was all crossbows and arrows. They may not have been Shadowhunters, but nearly a thousand spy girls (A/N: I don't know how big the school is!) against eleven Circle members? They knew they were beaten. As evil, and cruel as they were, they knew there was no hope for them to win.

Their escape wasn't a big, dramatic, bomb and sword fights kind of get away. In fact, if anything it was quite boring as they put their hands up, and slowly backed away, running out the door, and off to who knows where.

I found Clary standing out in town, behind the movie theater.

"You have it!" I called to her, running up.

She nodded. "You okay? Where's the Circle?"

"Ran. Don't know where, but we should get going before they come back. Thanks for getting Rachel before getting out of there." I looked around, praying they weren't hiding around here anywhere.

"I messaged Jace. Told him what happened. He should be here soon."

"He's hear now!" an angry voice yelled through the ally way. We turned to look at Jace and the guys, who was running towards us with vigor. "I told you! I told you something bad was going to happen, and what do you do? You bring her with you! You put her in danger too!"

"Jace," I started.

"No you listen to me!" he screamed, making Alec and Zach flinch behind him. "I told you no! And you insisted that you take my girlfriend and put her into imitate danger, like it's freaking no big deal!"

"I told her to run the moment they got there! They didn't go after her, I made sure of that!" I defended desperately. "They backed off the second they found a thousand spy girls surrounding them. She wasn't in any danger."

"Yes she was! You put her in danger! This isn't your stupid spy school, Cam. This is life! You should have gone on your own!"

"If I hadn't gone, she would have been taken," Clary defended. "She needed someone to back her up. And I was willing to help."

"That doesn't mean she has to put you in the line of fire," Jace said, spinning on her.

"That's a bit harsh, don't you think?" Zach said, bluntly.

"No, I don't," Jace hissed. "She needs to learn that Clary isn't some kind of shield. What if next time she gets her killed?"

There was a moment of silence. The only noise was from the road in front of the theater.

Finally, Alec spoke up. "And what if next time Cammie gets killed? What if because she decides to go alone—like most of us would expect her to in a dangerous situation— she gets hurt, or killed? Then what? You're not willing to loos Clary, but it's okay if you lose Cam?"

Jace paused. "I never said that."

"But it was implied, whether on purpose or not." Alec took a step towards him. "I know Clary isn't as good at fighting as us, and you don't want anything to happen to her, but that doesn't mean Cammie can't be hurt too. She's in just as much danger as Clary when she does these things, and I think you need to be worried about the both of them. Clary's your girlfriend. But Cammie's your sister."

I had my arms wrapped around me in a hug, and was looking down at my toes, willing myself not to cry, when I saw Jace's feet in front of my own.

"I didn't mean that I don't care what happens to you, Cam," he said softly. "I hope you don't think that."

"It's okay if you do Jace," I whispered. "I've been away for a long time; it's not surprising if you don't feel like I'm your sister anymore."

Jace turned to look at the guys and Clary. "Can we have a minute?"

"Come get us when you're done," Clary said. "See you in a bit."

I heard them leave.

"Do you really believe that," Jace asked. "Do you really believe that even though you were gone for all those years that I wouldn't think of you as my sister anymore?"

I shrugged. "I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't."

"Cam, no matter how long you're gone, you will always be my sister. Do you understand? Always. You could be gone for thirty years, get a completely different personality, and forget who you are and you'd still be my little sister. And if you ever think otherwise, I'll beat you to a palp."

I laughed a bit at that, but it was chocked.

"And I love Clary, I love her a lot. We've been through a lot together, and I've though I lost her to many times that her even going to a different room in the institute without me knowing bothers me. But I did lose you once—for three years! And I won't forget that anytime soon. The Clave took you away to a place that I believed you'd always be safe, and I still believe your safe, even if you aren't."

"I understand, Jace. It's okay," I said. "It's okay."

"No, it's not. I know you would never put Clary—or anyone for that matter—in danger. And even accidentally implying that is wrong."

Pulling me into a hug he said, "I'm sorry."

"Cammie?" a voice said from behind me.

I pulled away. "Josh?"


(Macey pov.)

Pulling out the leftover take out, I tried not to cry again. Aiden had used me. I'd never been used before. I've never let anyone close enough to use me. and the one time that I do, I get stabbed in the back by the nice-jack-ass.

I sighed. Well the boy expert had to have her turn sooner or later at the broken heart club.

"Macey?" a voice said behind me.

I didn't turn around.

"What do you want, Aiden?" I asked, flinching at how small and hurt my voice sounded. In the surface of the steel fridge, I could see he had a duffle bag on his shoulder, and a jacket on.

He was going to leave.

"I just want you to know that I was never using you," he said.

I laughed harshly. "Like I'd believe that!"

"I know that's how it looks, but you're Cammie's friend, and—maybe not now—my friend too."

"I'm not exactly friendly with people who break me," I said, quietly, not having the strength to be mad anymore.

He dropped his bag and walked over to me. "I never wanted to break you. Ever. I'm leaving." He sighed. "But I'm going to find a way for us to be together. Even if that means giving up being a shadowhunter."

I froze.

I couldn't breathe.

It was as though my boy translator had self-combust.

But the words where easy to understand. They were simple. It was easy.

But it wasn't.

"What do you mean," I breathed, wanting to know that I heard right. That it wasn't a dream.

"You're more special than you make yourself out to be, Macey," he smiled. "I would give up everything to be with you. Even if it was only for a little while."

"But you're a shadowhunter," I argued. "How can you just walk away from that?"

"Simple: I lift my left foot, move it forward, and gently set it down, and repeat those steps with the right, then I go back to the left, then right, then left—"

"But the Clave won't just let you just walk out, will they?"

"More than likely not, but I don't care. You're worth it, Macey."

I smiled. "God, I hate you," I whispered, pulling him into a kiss.


i've always kind of liked Josh (Not as much as Zach, though, obviously.) i've always felt like there was more to him then the all american-all around-good guy that he is. i feel like there's a bit of a dark streak in him, not enough to like him more then Zach though

Okay so in my next fanfiction (of which I have no name for) Cammie and Percy are twins. They've known this from the get-go and had lived together until Cammie left to go to Gallagher at 13. Every summer Cam would go to camp, and she'd spend winter and spring break with her mother, and brother. Cammie, learning from one of the older campers that Gallagher is a school for spies, decides she doesn't want her spy life to interfere with her life as a demigod. So she takes on the name Cammie Morgan, not knowing that's the last name of the headmistress. Taking the similar names to her advantage, she writes in her cov-ops reports that she's Rachel's daughter. Everything is normal—or as normal as being a spy in training gets—until the circle.

Everything in the first 4 books happened. Even Cammie leaving. Everyone at school thinks Cam's run away. But she's actually gone to fight in the war. She comes back, and everyone—Bex mostly—is angry with her. Josh, Dee Dee, and Dillon are demigods, and she's been spending most of her time with them. She's starting to find living at Gallagher difficult, and is thinking of moving back home with her mom. The memories of the war are starting to get to her, seeing as she watched as one of her close friends died right before her.

Besides that, it seems that the mortals are seeing right through the mist. Chiron doesn't know how it happened, or why. Percy and Cammie are getting really worried, and try and find a way to stop it before it becomes an even bigger problem.

I'm also going to do a rewrite of the 1st Percy Jackson book, but with Cammie in it, just so you can see what it was like with the two of them instead of just Percy on their first adventure. You don't have to read one to understand the other. I hope you read them and enjoy.
