Chapter 6

Clary (Pov)

she was walking down the street not really paying attention to where she was going and more admiring Alicantes beauty, god her fingers itched to draw the ever bustling streets crowded with shadowhunters by day and the erie stillness by night, the quiet grace of the accords hall, and the tall majestic demon towers carved of Adamas.

She was so engrossed in admiring the city when she bumped into something wait no someone. She looked up to see glaring blue eyes looking down at her. "Be careful where you're walking, Mundane," said the person. MUNDANE?! That person really had the nerve to call her a Mundane?.

She stepped back a little and looked at him. He was tall, slender and distinctly male, he had night black hair and piercing blue eyes. She clenched her fists. She was about to snap out a smart retort when someone beat her to it.

"Oh cut it out Alec" said a girl with long dark black hair and dark brown eyes. Clary hadn't even noticed her until now. She had a hunch they were siblings.

"Hey" said the black haired girl. "My name is Isabelle but almost everyone calls me Izzy" sticking out a hand for her to shake, Which clary took. "And this is my very grumpy brother Alec" she said pointing at the other black haired person.

"Nice to meet you," said Clary. "My name's Clary". "Well nice to meet you Clary" Said Isbelle "I would love to stay and chat but we should really get going" said Alec rather sarcastically while dragging Isabelle by the hand down the street. "Guess i'll see you around!" she said before she was dragged off by her brother into the crowd.

While She was walking home something she hadn't thought of weaved its way into her mind. The party she was going to later that night was for Alec and Jace. The two people of whom she did not get along with very well. Oh golly she thought. It was going to be a fun night.


"Hurry Up clary!" yelled her brother. "Coming coming" she said. She walked down the stairs and into the living room. Her mother was wearing a long pale blue dress and her hair was tied in a messy bun with of course a pencil right through the middle.

Her brother was standing beside her in a black and white Tuxedo he looked dashing ll accept his hair of course which was shriveled and sticking up everywhere.

Clary was wearing a short green halter neck dress going down to her knees and mid calf high boots, wich she had shoved Herospheros her fathers sword in. and her hair up in several pins, the pins her father had gotten her for her Fourteenth birthday. Three months before he died.

"Kay, I'm ready," she said. "Good," said her mother. "We were beginning to think you drowned in the toilet or something," said her Jonathan. "Hey" she said, punching him playfully in the arm. But she must have punched a little too hard because he winced and held the spot where she punched. "Violent much" he muttered.


Chapter 7

Jace (Pov)

"Jace!" yelled his mother from downstairs "Hurry up please, almost half the guests are here!" she yelled again. "A good guest waits for the hosts!" he yelled back

"Besides, I'm almost ready," he said. He plucked a tie from his drawer and tried to do it up but then thought better of it and discarded it over his shoulder and ran downstairs.

"Kay, I'm here," he said, coming into the living room where his mother and father were waiting. "Jace look at you!" his mother said. "It took you almost two hours to get ready and you look like a complete mess!" she said well at least he didn't take as long as Izzy he thought. Last time she was done getting ready everybody was almost ready to leave. "Calm down Celine'' said his father Stephen.

Then the doorbell rang. His mother walked to open the door. "Jocelyn!" she said enveloping the newcomer in a hug. "How are you doing?" she asked, letting the woman go.

"Good you?" said the woman. "Wonderful," she said. "Jace Stephen get over here would you?" said his mother waving them over. "Guess that our cue" his father whispered in his ear. Jace couldn't help but chuckle a little.


Clary (Pov)

As soon as the door opened a woman with shoulder length blonde hair enveloped her mother in a large hug. They exchanged small chit chat and then she beckoned two other people over.

A tall broad shouldered man made his way into their line of sight and wrapped an arm around the woman's shoulders. "Nice to see you again Joccey" said the man.

And then another person came in, he looked as if a tornado had hit him. His golden hair was sticking up all over the place. And of course it was Jace, though he looked noting like he did when they were ten.

The woman beckoned them inside and the interior of the house was amazing! The walls were either a light golden color or a delicate peach.

There was no door separating the kitchen from the dining room, and the sitting room was full of fluffy cushions and chairs with a marble top table in the middle of the room. And there was also a grand staircase leading to the upper levels.

The place was extravagant. "Welcome to our humble abode" said the man who had wrapped his arms around the woman's shoulders. "Its so nice to see you again Jocelyn" said the woman.

"You too Celine" said her mother. "Stephen, Celine you remember Jonathan and Clary?" said her mother while pointing at them in turn "oh why yes, oh my how you've both grown" said Celine with a smile. "I haven't seen you guys in ages" Said Clary.

"And surely you remember our son" said Stephen indicating the boy with his hair sticking up everywhere "Jace" as soon as that word left his mouth Jonathan presided to glare at him.

Stephen sensing the shift in Jonathans demeanor said "the party's in the backyard, follow me" so the three of them followed Stephen into the backyard.

And it was as extravagant as the inside the entire backyard was rimmed with trees, with LED lights strung on their branches tables with white table cloths were set up everywhere, there were people talking, dancing and even just sitting down doing absolutely nothing.

Then she heard a semi familiar voice shout her name "Clary!" she looked around to find Isabelle waving at her through the crowd.

"Hey mom" she said "I just saw someone I know I'm gonna go and talk to them" she said. Her mother looked skeptical about it then Celine piped up "Joccey go let her have fun" she said "Its a party after all" said Celine.

"Fine but at least take your brother or Jcae with you I don't want you getting lost." Just great bringing Jace or her brother with her was the last thing she wanted to do. "Mom, im not going to get lo-" she started but Jace cut her off.

"If it makes you feel better Mrs. Mor-" her mother gave him a glare. She did not like being called Valentines last name well not after he died Clary guessed. "I mean, Fairchild I could accompany Clary." her mother nodded the Jace dragged her off by the wrist.

Great just great she thought the worst time ever is when Jace decides to be a gentlemen. She freed her wrist gave him a menacing glare and stomped off towards Isabelle. But he caught up to her and sauntered beside her. "Cant shake me that easily Red" he said mockingly.

She would not let him get the satisfaction of getting an answer. She found Isabelle and called out to her. "Hey Isabelle!" she said waving. When she joined them she gave her a skeptical look, Izzy was wearing a short strapless purple dress. And her hair was down cascading down her back.

"For one you can call me Izzy, and two I didn't know you and Jace knew each other?" she said pointing at them. "Well we kinda bumped into each other when my family and I were visiting the New York Institute when I was ten" she said.

"Hey Iz you remember when i came out of the training room with a large red mark on my cheek?" Jace inquired. "Yes?" said Izzy. "Well that was her" he said pointing to me. "Nice job girl" said Izzy giving her a high five.

"Hey weres Alec?" said Jace. "Right here" said a voice behind her, which almost made her jump. She turned around to see the same black hair and cold blue eyes. Alec was wearing a gray hoodie with several holes in it and ripped dark blue jeans. Only his hair was well kept

"What is SHE doing here" he said emphasizing the 'she' while pointing at her. "She happens to be talking to us" said Izzy.

Alec grumbled but didn't say anymore. They talked for a while about random things like the city or their demon slay count, Alec giving her a cold glare that gave her goosebumps.

But then there was a loud scream Clary turned around to see someone holding a knife to her strugling mothers throat.
