Chapter Three: Lonely

Clary:

'What in the world happened yesterday?! He was about to eat me now he walked off all sunken and sad needing a hug?!' Clary thought to herself. 'Well I guess I'll stay in my room so I won't be eaten or worse….' A cold shiver ran down Clary's spine as she got to her room and closed the door behind her locking it. She sat in her window seal thinking about the ways he can escape her impending wedding. Until she dozed off.

Luke:

'I feel bad I scared her like that… I'm supposed to have her like me and not be miserable with me for the rest of my life, and here I am scaring her half to death. She hasn't left her room since yesterday for breakfast.' Luke thought to himself as he smoked the last of his cigarette and started chewing a piece of gum. 'Maybe it's time I show her the surprise." I'm supposed.

Luke grabs the can of ax on the nightstand and immediately spray a generous helping. He checked the time '5:32 PM… dinner is ready at 6 PM so that makes plenty of time to wow her.' He thought as he exited his room and headed straight for the girl with the fiery hair. He knocks lightly on the door to try not to startle her but he doesn't get a response back. Closing his eyes he listens for her, hearing her steady heartbeat and her even breathing. 'She is sleeping?'

Luke pops out his claws before popping open the door. He carefully walked over to the sleeping girl and shook her lightly.

"Hey Clary, I need you to wake up for me." He whispered calmly. Clary immediately jumped her. Her eyes popping open and scanning her surroundings before falling on Luke who had his hands up in a surrender position. "I didn't mean to scare you. Dinner will be ready soon and I wanted to show you your moving in surprise before we head down there."

Clary closed her eyes taking a few calming breaths before nodding her head. "Yeah… Sure."

Luke put's his hands down and gestures to the door before turning and heading out of the room with Clary following closely behind him. He walks down her hallway before heading down the staircase. "I meant to show you yesterday but… things got out of control. I'm… I'm sorry for scaring you it wasn't my intention."

"Why else do people flash their fangs other than to intimidate or something," Clary mumbles still looking at the ground as they began to walk through the garden.

"I promised your parents I would tell you who I am and what I am at the first opportunity because you needed to know who you are marrying. That's what I did whether you think so or not." Luke kept walking until he stopped at a mint shack. He unlocked the door and pushed it open signaling her to move forward.

Clary walked into the shack and her jaw hit the floor. The shack was littered with paint, canvases, pencils, oils, and even clay. A single grey desk sat in the right corner with sketch pads on it. A mini couch sat in the left corner next to a mini fridge. The walls was a pale white and the hardwood floors were a dark brown.

"I figured you'd want a space of your own to be as creative as you want to be," Luke whispered. "You can stay as long as you want just make sure you are up and ready for school tomorrow morning. It's your first day after all." Luke paused before leaving the shed and closing the door behind him with the key still in the lock.

'Hopefully, she doesn't think I am a monster after this.'

Clary:

Clary stands outside of the mansion waiting for Luke to show his face. She rehearsed all morning what she wanted to say to him for remodeling a whole shack to make it her personal art room. Clary wasn't naive, she knew that the paints alone would be hundreds of dollars. Add in the furniture and aisle and pastels and it racks up to over a few thousands of dollars.

'I will not seem like an ungrateful little girl.' Clary thought tugging on the end of the uniform skirt.

Today was going to be the first day at the Institute and she was determined to have it start on the right foot.

"Miss Fray. We can leave whenever you are ready." Allistar states waking Clary out of her thoughts.

"I'm waiting for Luke to take me to school." Clary frowned at the older gentleman switching her backpack to her left shoulder.

"Mr. Lucian thought it would be better if I take you. He thought you would feel more comfortable."

"Well tell Mr. Lucian if he wants me to go to school he has to take me himself." Clary folded her hands across her chest.

"I don't think-"

"What is up with the arguing?" Luke asks stepping out his front door. He turns to Clary "why are you still here? You have school in 30 minutes."

"I want you to take me to school," Clary mumbled.

Luke sighed grabbing the keys from Allistar. "Get in the truck Clary."

Clary sat quietly for most of the drive. Trying to build up the courage to speak.

"Thank you, Lucian."

"For what Clarissa/" Luke said smirking

"For the paint, for my personal art room, for the Institute for everything. I appreciate it and I'm sorry for the way I acted….. I will try to get along with you better." Clary says just as the car stops.

"Your welcome. I just wanted to make things easier for you. Here." he placed a silver iPhone in her hand. "It's connected to me and has your parents and friends number in it. If you need me call me or text me." He smiles at her. "Just have a good day."

Clary looked at him and leaned over and kissed Luke on the lips. "See you." Clary raced out the car and up the stair to the institute. Right into a blonde boy with a devise smirk.

"Watch where you going red."

Clary rolled her eyes. "You're so unique and original." Leave me alone. Clary attempts to walk away but the blonde grabs her arm pulling her towards him.

"No there Clarissa, is that any way to talk to your future husband? And don't worry the mutt you are cohabitating with is sure to die soon. I'm Jace by the way Red."

Well, we just got our first look at Jace and the next chapter we will get introduced to the Lightwoods. The drama is now kicking off. Sorry that it is a day late. Please review and let me know what you all think. Until next time,

Kiss Kiss Babes! ;)
