zCLARYS POV

Clary was talking to a woman, who she thought was offering to buy her painting but she wasn't really listening so couldn't be sure, her eyes had caught a very familiar looking boy while scanning the crowd and her attention was on him, he was very attractive, he had strikingly deep gold eyes and his hair was just a shade lighter, she excused herself from the conversation and walked toward him, he looked really confused and glanced behind him not knowing if she was walking to him, Clary stopped short in front of him and he practically jumped

"Sorry, I..didn't mean to spook you" he looked surprised " wait..you can see me?" She thought he was joking but the look on his familiar face told her he wasn't, " yeah..why wouldn't I?" She was generally confused, instead of answering her, he turned around and ducked out of the studio door, and her curious side winning over her smart one, she followed him

" hey I'm talking to you!" She yelled after him as he ran down the alley, at the sound of her voice he stopped and, slowly turned to face her, " Do I...know you from somewhere?" She just had this feeling that she was safe around him, like she had known him for a long time, but it didnt make sense cause she had never met him

"No I don't think so" his voice was so familiar and sent an electric shock racing through her veins "No I definitely do" Clary looked into his golden eyes and it clicked " your Jace... right?" His expression changed a smile spreading across his face, he nodded " yeah,yeah I'm Jace" they stood there smiling at each other as she wondered how she knew his name, her eye caught on something peaking out of his shirts neckline, it looked like a tattoo, but there was this energy buzzing around it " what is this tattoo..." her hand came up to touch it, Clarys fingers connected with the tattoo and her vision filled with pictures...no memories, they were memories of people and... things with desformed figures, demons,

they left as soon as they had come, pulling darkness down with them,she fell.

JACE POV

Jace was smiling as Clary reached her hand up to touch his rune, as her hand brushed against the skin of his neck where the rune was she went rigid, staring off into the distance, then she closed her eyes and fell to the floor, he was to shocked to catch her so she hit the ground with a thud and her forehead started to bleed

" Shit!" Jace knelt down beside her and picked her up, cradling her in his arms he stood up and started running towards the Institute ( it was only a few blocks away from the studio ) he he tripped on some loose rocks and she stirred in his arms " sorry" Jace slowed down kissing her on the forehead

He walked through the gate and opened the Institute doors, stumbling inside, coming face to face with Isabelle

" Jace your back I was so worr..." she noticed Clary laying limp in his arms and glared at him "WHAT DID YOU DO!" The anger rolled off her in waves and Clary groaned "nothing I swear, she saw through my glamour and then...just passed out,anyway it doesn't matter She needs help" Izzy straightened a shocked look on her face, she ushered Jace forward down the hall and into the infirmary, he set Clary down on the bed and pulled the blanket over her, then left to go get a warm cloth

" Uhhhhhh... Jace " he was coming down the hall when he heard Iz call out, and he sprinted to the infirmary, almost dropping the cloth "What, did something happen" he couldn't help the worry in his voice, she looked up at him gesturing towards Clarys still form "Yeah she's glowing"

She was right, there was a faint glow radiating off of Clary, he put his hand to her skin, she was burning up, he put the now cold cloth to her forehead and wiped away the sweat and blood to reveal a deep cut along her hairline

Isabelle "tsk tsked" behind me " she's gonna need stitches for that"
