Then I laid down on the bed. He came and joined me. I laid my head on his chest. I must have fallen asleep.

It has been a while since that day I found out the truth. Jace, Alec, and Izzy have been trying to be nice and put up with them. But they have not been so nice to them. They all are trying to keep me safe.

I was in the training room proxying my skills. I then heard someone coming up behind me. I waited for the person to come closer. I then turned to attack the person who was sneaking up behind me. I then saw it was Jace.

"What are you trying to get hurt?" I asked him.

"No. But Clary I doubt you can take me down." He said to me.

"I can at least try." I said smirking.

Then Alec, Austin, and guys walked in. I looked over to them. The only time I have talked to Austin in the guys where when I had to.

"Alec, you are ready finally?" Jace asked him.

"Yes. I will take you down for the earlier comment you made." Alec said.

"What did you say to him?" I asked curiously.

"Just teasing him about Magnus." Jace told me smirking.

"Enough chitchat. Let's fight." Alec said.

Then Jace and Alec took the section of the room. I went back to my dummy. I ignore my guy friends. After a while I took a break. I then saw Jace in Austin fighting. I went over to Alec. I looked over to Jace and Austin questioningly.

"I told him not to do it." Alec said.

*Jace's POV*

after Alec and I got done we took a break. Then Austin came up to me. I looked at him and asked,

"What do you want?"

"Let's practice." Austin said.

"Fine." I said. But I know there was something else.

I was going to walk over to the floor when I was stopped. I looked over to see Alec. He looked at me and said,

"You shouldn't. You don't know what he is truly up to."

"I must." I said. I then went to practice fighting skills against Austin.

We were fighting for a bit in silence. Then I broke the silence by asking,

"What do you truly want Austin?"

"What are you talking about? Can't to great shadowhunters practice fighting skills together." He said to me. But I knew better to believe that. I glanced over to see Clary now watching us.

"I don't believe that for one second. So, what is it to you trying to prove?" I asked.

He threw a punch at me. But I saw it coming so I blocked it. I then hit him in the side. I was going pretty easy on him.

"I'm not trying to prove anything." He said.

"Lies. Let me guess. You are trying to prove to Clary that you are better than me." I said.

That has to be it. I saw that I hit a nerve there. Because he started to go a little bit harder on me. I didn't want to hurt him. But I couldn't just stand there. I must protect myself.
