AN: Thanks to everyone who has reviewed/Pm me, I really appreciate it. I hoped you all liked my last little cliff-hanger thing on the last chapter and anyway we'll be finding out more about Jessica in this chapter and maybe the next one after this one. Anyway here's chapter 36 for you guys, hope you like it.

Jessica's point of view

Both me and the boy Jace were staring at Clary as though hoping that she was going to laugh and say 'ha ha got you two there!' but she looked at me deadly serious and asked softly "Who are your parents?"

My voice shook as I said "My father is called Luke Garroway and my mother is Jocelyn Fairchild."

Clary's eyes widened and she asked "How old are you?"

I answered again "I'm eleven now."

Clary smiled slightly and said "So they had a child after all. Definitely related to me then aren't you?"

I looked at her confused and asked "What do you mean?"

Clary grinned at me properly this time and she explained "My – our brother I should say technically well anyway, he taught me how to fight against people from the age of seven. And you're about eleven and you can probably fight pretty well too physical or mental."

Jace then seemed to find his voice and he asked "Your sisters?"

Clary looked at him and said in a duh tone "Case solved Sherlock. Seriously Herondale if you were any slower than you'd be going backwards. And technically we're half-sisters."

I giggled and Jace said "Yeah I see what you mean Clary, both of you are really mean and hurt my feelings so much."

I giggled again and Clary just rolled her eyes and said "Please don't flirt with my eleven year old half-sister. She's also a bit young to date an eighteen year old too."

I laughed and Jace gave me a million dollar smile and a cheeky wink and I said "Sorry Jace but I'm way out of your league."

Clary was laughing so much she had to sit down and she was crying of laughter at Jace's expression.

She just about choked out "I love this girl already. Can we keep her?"

Jace glared at Clary but she was laughing too much to notice so he said to me "I feel sorry for you, you're related to this thing here."

I answered "Actually she seems pretty cool so I'll keep her thanks."

The men started to stir again which shut Clary up instantly. She stood up and pulled out her dagger and asked Jace as both men stood up and took out their blades "Who do you want?"

Jace answered sweetly "Sebastian looks nicer."

Clary grinned and said "At least you didn't say to me to look after Jessica."

Jace hesitated and said "You should do that."

Clary looked at him quickly before turning to me and giving me a small knife and saying hurriedly "Push the small lever on the side up to open the blade and then down to close it. Be brave Jessica, I'll tell you more if I manage to survive and if not then get Jace to tell you."

And with that the shadowed man leapt at me and Clary but she flashed me a quick smile before positioning her dagger correctly and spinning around and digging the blade into the man's side.

The man Sebastian pushed Jace which made him stumble and charged straight at me.

I pushed the lever up and cut across his leg, Sebastian cried in pain so I cut his arm this time daring him to come any closer.

Then an arrow lodged itself into the boys vain in his leg and his eyes rolled back and he collapsed.

I turned and saw Clary with a bow and a few arrows shooting at the man now attacking her.

Jace stumbled over to me blood coming from a cut on his head and he asked me "You okay?"

I nodded and said back "Barely a scratch, you?"

Jace smiled slightly and said "I'm fine; a cut on the head isn't the worst I've seen or had."

I looked back at Clary's fight where her bow now laid about ten metres away from her and she was ducking swiftly under his blade strikes trying to cut her.

I looked back at Jace who was watching Clary with intent and almost longing look on his face.

Then I realised that he likes her. No not like, love. He loves her and maybe she loves him back but she can't be with him so he watches over instead trying to keep her from harm's way but Clary was way too reckless and almost fearless it seemed to just sit around like a normal girl, she had to be in the fight to be able to like herself and have fun or enjoy her life.

Jace was still watching Clary with that face which made me smile. He teased her the way a brother would tease a sister but he wanted to be more but she either didn't know or she can't be with him.

Clary was now easily winning by using some kind of physical attack and she seemed to be using her whole body as a weapon.

Soon she whacked the man on the head with her dagger hilt and he fell down unconscious again.

Clary turned to us grinning madly as though she loved every minute of that fight. She then wiped her forehead which had a small cut running across it and asked me and Jace "You two okay?"

I nodded but Jace went all dramatic and said "No I feel like I'm going to collapse any sec-…" and he fake collapsed and Clary just rolled her eyes and said to me "Don't mind him he's mostly like that too."

I giggled and Jace opened his eyes and asked Clary angrily "Are you going to treat my battle wounds or not?"

Clary smiled slightly and said "Okay drama queen, keep your 'airnet on."

Jace sat patiently as Clary pulled out a small tub of a yellowish liquid and she dabbed some on his cut and let it wait a minute before suddenly it started to heal instantly as though it was weeks old.

She came over to me and said "Are you hurt?"

I said "Only on my side from bruising trying to reach someone."

Clary raised her eyebrows and said "Just flash your bruises and I'll put this on you."

I let her treat my smaller tree cuts and bruises which I had maintained on the journey to get to New York.

Clary the started to screw the lid on after she had finished with me but Jace caught her hand and said "You need some too."

Clary looked like she wanted to argue but she let him take the small pot and she sat on the ground and said "I don't need it really."

Jace took some and dabbed it onto her forehead making the cut now close quickly and only leaving a pale line as a memory that the cut had even been there.

As soon as the cut had healed Clary snatched her pots back and she said "That'll do Herondale. We need to save it for more important things than me."

Now Jace looked like he wanted to tell her how he felt about her but he held himself back.

Clary was obviously thinking quickly as she said to me and Jace "Come on, I'll buy you both some dinner and we'll talk some more."

I asked her "I need to find a Clarissa Fray. Do you know where she is?"

Clary looked at me and said "She is standing right in front of you."

I frowned and took Clary in. Mum had told me that Clarissa had looked very similar to her as a child.

Clary had the same red hair but a few shades brighter, a brighter green coloured eyes, paler skin then mum and she also had more freckles and her scar made her look very dangerous and reckless too.

I then asked uncertainly "You're Clarissa Fray? As in the Clarissa Fray?"

Clary gave me a smile which looked slightly strange as it never reached her eyes and she bowed to me and answered "The one and only my miniature friend."

I smiled back and said "Okay, what's for dinner?"

Clary grinned and said "Taki's!"

I followed her through the streets and Jace walked next to me and he said "You're a lot like Clary you know."

I smiled and said "No I'm not. She brave, fearless and reckless. I'm not any of those things."

Jace smiled and said "Maybe not now but you could be. And no one is fearless."

I asked him "What do you mean?"

Clary who had apparently heard our conversation called back "He means that no one has no fears what so ever. Some people just choose to hide their fears or ignore them when the time comes to which you have the thing you're scared of happens."

I asked Clary and Jace "What are you scared of? Both of you."

Jace instantly answered with "Ducks are my worst fear, and then it's probably extreme heights, and maybe losing my adoptive family too."

Clary didn't answer so I asked her again "What are you scared of Clary?"

Clary glanced at me and said "I probably shouldn't tell you but I hate enclosed spaces, my father even though he's dead and my brother."

I frowned and said "Jonathan Morgenstern and Valentine Morgenstern? They can't be that scary can they?" Clary gave me a weird look so I quickly said "I mean the CIA agents are more scary right? And why are you scared of Valentine so much if he's dead?"

Clary looked at me and I saw a side that I hadn't seen before. One which let you through her armour of no emotions and a warrior. One where she looked small and young and broken but it quickly disappeared as she said "I'm afraid of my father and brother because if you were smart enough you would fear them the most too. Dead or not."

I wanted to ask her why she was scared of them but I thought that it'd end badly so I shut up and Clary soon stopped outside a tattered looking building.

I asked her "Is this the restaurant?"

Clary nodded and said "Yeo, good old Taki's." she then walked through the door which had a man covered in tattoos guarding it.

As Clary led us inside I gasped in amazement. It looked old on the outside but in the inside it was almost like a cosy living room with an open fire roaring and people all chatting and laughing at each other.

Clary led me and Jace into an empty booth and let me slide in across of her and Jace who sat next to each other.

Clary then looked at a menu and I copied her and saw so many food items I almost drooled right then.

Jace was watching me for once and he said "Wait until you taste the food it gives you a mouthgasm." With a wink he went back to his menu.

I frowned and so did Clary but she soon got over her confusion and asked "Mouthgasm?"

Jace explained "It's when your mouth has an orgasm."

Clary rolled her eyes and Jace quickly said to me "What do you want?"

I looked at the menu and said "Um… I'll have a whole margarita pizza and a coca cola please."

Clary grinned and said "She's related to me for certain."

I smiled quickly and Jace then asked her "What do you want Red?"

"I'll have some coconut pancakes and a bottle of water please Barbie."

Jace sighed and said "Okay I'll get the meals for half price easily."

Clary's eyes went slightly wider and I was going to ask her why but she then sighed as a blue haired and fairly hot waitress came over to us and instantly started flirting with Jace.

I then got it, Jace would 'bribe' the waitress with some stuff and for return she would get their dinner at half price.

As we ordered as much food as we wanted Jace said to Clary "Let me out now."

Clary sighed but did as he asked her and then he slid out and went over to the serving waitress.

Clary sat back down and said "I wish he wouldn't do that."

I nodded and asked "Do what and why?"

Clary gave me a pointed look and she said "He uses them. He bribes them for sex and other stuff in trade for the food to come quickly and be charged at half price. I don't think he even loves them, he only does it for fun really, you'll see what he does soon. He'll take their hearts and walk over them until their crushed."

I nodded and asked "Do you like him? I mean as a boyfriend way."

Clary just looked at me and said "I've never really thought about him that way because of our brother. He would only take the chance to hurt someone I love to get back at me. So I have to blank my feelings out for people no matter if I want to or not."

I bit my lip and said "I think that he likes you as in a girlfriend way."

Clary gave me a strange and unreadable look and said "I don't think that he does because he's much more of a player so he won't love anyone unless he finds the right person of course."

I grinned and said "Whilst you were fighting that man and Sebastian had been shot Jace sat near me and he was watching you with longing as if he wanted you but he knew he couldn't have you."

Clary just looked at me and didn't answer probably because Jace came back with lipstick on his cheek and also she wasn't the type to spill out all of her darkest secrets.

Jace asked us "Did you two ladies miss me?"

Me and Clary both said in sync "No, why would I miss you?"

We then both looked at each other and grinned before saying "Snap!" together too.

Jace soon said "Okay… that was slightly scary and how could you not miss this?" he gestured to his body and clary snorted as our food came and Jace winked at the waitress and said "Thanks. At eleven okay?"

The waitress giggled and said "Okay." Before going to gossip with her friends.

I looked at me pizza and picked up a slice and started to eat the delicious food.

Soon all three of our plates were clean and the food had been demolished.

Jace sat back and yawned and rest his hands behind his head casually looking relaxed.

Most of the girls were staring at him as he lay there looking like a Greek God.

Clary shifted before saying "Bathroom and then we'll talk some more Jessica."

She turned to Jace and said "You better pay attention and make sure no one even touches her Herondale."

And she wandered off to the bathroom.

I watched Jace carefully as he watched Clary walk away as though he wanted to walk next to her or go after her but soon she disappeared through the Ladies door and he tore his eyes away and said to me "Well I better watch you then Missy."

I smiled and said "You like Clary don't you?"

Jace hesitated before answering with "As a friend? Yeah of course I do."

I tried to give him one of Clary's pointed look as I said "You know what I meant."

Jace sighed and admitted "Yes I know what you meant."

I pushed him closer to telling me "So do you?"

Jace sighed as the door opened and Clary walked out again pushing her way through the crowd heading towards us.

I laughed and said "You don't like her, you love her right?"

Jace looked at me quickly and then back at Clary and repeated it so I smiled because I knew I was right.

I asked him quietly "Have you told her?"

He shrugged and said "I did and I think near enough everyone else does but she still won't believe it and even if she did she couldn't be with me anyway and if she could then why would she want to be with me? She's seen me play around with other girls before so why should she be any different?"

I looked over at Clary who was now talking to a male about her age. She looked board but the boy was watching her keenly and hoping she would agree to whatever he was telling her.

Clary smiled and said something and then moved towards us again leaving the boy staring after her.

When Clary reached us Jace asked slightly jealously "Who was that?"

Clary answered with her normal tone with no emotions in it really "That is one of Simon's band mates called Eric who has apparently had a crush on me since we were fourteen and he first saw me. Why do you want to know?"

Jace answered lightly "Just curious."

Clary rolled her eyes and said "You're always curious Herondale."

Jace smiled and said "Anyway you need to talk to Jessica."

Clary nodded and then turned to me and said "Well mum may have been more truthful to you then she was to me but I'll start as far back as I can go."

Clary then told me about the circle and how her father Valentine Morgenstern led the group. She told me about the machine and the serum which could control a person's mind. Then about how the circle broke up by mum leaving Valentine and taking parts of the machine and hiding them.

Then she told me about her small life with her mum and Luke and a bit about her life with her father but not everything otherwise she would look a lot less tense and more relaxed then she was now. She also told me about how Jonathan is under the serum and how we could break it or we have to kill him. She told me most things and by the end I was trying to act as brave as I can as I said "Wow. You have a … eventful life story there."

Clary barely smiled at that as she said "You could say eventful I suppose."

She then straightened and said "You need to come with us to the CIA."

I nodded and asked "Where is that?"

She shrugged and said "About ten minutes away."

We all set off and Clary walked ahead again apparently in her own thoughts.

I asked Jace quietly "Why does she act like nothing hurts her and she has no emotion?"

Jace sighed and said "Well when she went to her father's house after her mum 'died' she realised that the seven years she'd been alive for was mostly a lie to what your mum calls protect her. After a year or so with living with her dad she started to get abused from his drinking habit. She trained with her brother until she was twelve which was when he started to drink heavy and abuse her too. She ran away with Simon at fourteen and was probably chased a long way from home and she came to the CIA at fourteen and well she's trained ever since. Now a few days ago she had to go and face your father Luke again and at the same time she's learnt that after grieving for your mother for nearly ten years, she is probably alive and she never contacted Clary whilst the abuse happened and Clary thinks that you mum knew. Then she's been given orders to kill her own brother who treated her well before abusing her and now she's met another child who shares the same mum and now she probably thinks that your mum has forgotten about her for what and who she is and started a new family with Luke and you. It's not easy to be her you know. Your dad Luke also wants her to leave the CIA and live with him because that's what your mother would want apparently but I think that she feels at home here where as everywhere else she has felt neglected or now found out that her years were a lie."

I took all of that in. She must have trusted her brother a lot before he abused her too and now she had to go back and live with him to get mum and the director.

Mum always said 'Betrayal hits you hard but betrayal when you're a child betrayal is like double betrayal to you.' And Clary had been by my mother and father, her dad, her brother and some friends as a child so she's faced betrayal lots of times.

I now wondered if my mum's quote was about Clary. She betrayed Clary to try to protect her but it hadn't and I think now that Clary knows that she's alive she now thinks of it as betrayal again.

I watched Clary as she was almost looking sad knowing that her life was either a lie or full of abuse except her CIA years which now was being threatened to be taken away from her.

I nodded and said "No one deserves that kind of treatment."

Jace nodded and said "I agree no one does deserve that, but Clary got all of that so she has very little trust in people now."

I asked him "Will she trust me?"

Jace shrugged and said "That depends on whether she finds you trustworthy enough or if she thinks that you're more of a skank."

I nodded and saw that Clary had stopped outside some tall gates and was waiting for us.

A man stood guard and he said "Who's the girl Agent Fray?"

Clary answered with "I need to see Agent Scott, Bane, Fell, the two Lightwoods, Lewis and Lucian Greymark."

The guard nodded and instantly spoke and he said "I'll escort you."

Clary nodded and beckoned for me to follow her as she led us through the hall ways talking to the guard.

When we arrived I could hear some people already there and she threw open the door and said "Luke. I would like you to explain this please."

She dragged me into view and everyone stared at me, Clary and Jace in the doorway.

The man with watery blue eyes and dark brown hair looked at me and asked "Clary who's the girl with you?"

Clary glared at him and said "She is Jocelyn's daughter. She's your daughter and my half-sister."
