clary
as I thought they all backed away slowly and Simon looked as though he had pissed himself. "not the murderous one" I assure them. they all sigh with relief "well" grandpa says "grandpa don't scare the kids they don't need to know everything" I said "let's just say I'm the one that didn't get caught" grandpa says. they all looked nervous "guys he's kidding" I lied. I knew my grandpa didn't follow the law and when I saw him walk into the meeting room I knew that he had probably done worse than I originally thought but they didn't need to know that. I see my grandpa smirk. everyone seemed to relax a bit but I knew they were still nervous. "this is my mother's father" I told them "he's harmless. just try not to piss him off" I tell them. "before we establish that everyone is safe, which one is the boyfriend?" my grandpa asked "you are definitely not allowed to hurt that one" I say sternly "but he's the blonde one" I say "well at least you picked the attractive one" he said "I've been trying to tell her that since we got together" Jace said they both laugh as I roll my eyes "I'm deeply offended" Magnus says "your still good looking but I can tell by the glittery pink skinny jeans that you probably don't play for my granddaughters team" grandpa said "actually he swings for both but he's dating alec" I say pointing to the man. "now that's a very cute couple" grandpa says. he was actually being serious. grandpa has always been very accepting of everyone. "so I'm assuming that the nerdy looking kid and the hot one are together" grandpa says "well you'll have to ask them" I say. both of them blush a deep red. "so Rafael you still haven't found you an old lady yet?" grandpa asks "well I tried for your granddaughter but shes kind of young" Rafael half-joked. I got a glare at him and went and sat next to Jace. he pulled me into his lap. "so none of your friends are in the gang?" grandpa asks "not really. rafael left but I have a couple of old friends at the table" I tell him. "well I'll go ahead and say that you should make friends with all of them if you want to run it right" he says "I'll try" I lie. I'm perfectly fine with the friends I have. "I personally think your boy toy would be a fine addition to the MC" grandpa says. "I don't think so," I say sternly "I'm hurt Clare," Jace says "I have actually been a part of a gang before," he says "really?" I ask "Nah but I did help some guys from one steal a few cars for a while but then I got put in Wayland's household," he says "well maybe you would make a good addition" I joke "I would actually be very glad to join my lovely girlfriend at her new occupation" he says "well I would be glad to have you" I tell him. he grins at that and I grin back. we all sit and chat for a while and eventually grandpa goes back to his friends place that he is staying at and Jace and I fall asleep on the VIP couch.
1 week later
I wake from nightmares and start on breakfast around 8:00. I have a meeting today that Jordan texted me about. I told him I planned to bring Jace with me because he has worked with gangs and grandpa suggested having him join. Jordan had no problem with it since grandpa suggested it and apparently he is president of another MC down in NC and I quote 'knows how to pick em'. when everyone except a lazy Jace gets here we all eat together and I let them know I have a meeting at lunch so they know to go out to eat or all cook together. "which gang is it anyway?" Magnus asks. I freeze. I cough trying to cover it up. "what?" I ask innocently "you heard me, biscuit," he says with the voice of a stern parent "umm. they call themselves the BTK" i tell him "what does that stand for?" Simon asks "born to kill" me and Magnus both say at the same time. "a couple friends of mine used to do clean up jobs for them" Magnus adds "I didn't ever think my little biscuit would grow up to be so vicious. I think I actually find it attractive. in a strict mother to daughter since" he says. I grin at him and laugh. Jace finally comes down and I tell him to eat quick so he can be ready to go to this meeting with me. I pulled on a black tank top and my leather jacket with my skinny jeans and converse. I put on some eyeliner and mascara to make the bags under my eyes look less like sleep deprivation and my loss of appetite. I have slept about 5 full hours this whole week because I constantly wake up from nightmares or from me being used to waking up early. I don't know where the loss of appetite came from but it seems like most food just disgusts me for no reason. the only thing I can think about is brownie batter and everything else is just garbage. I walk downstairs after I push the thought of uncooked chocolate out of my mind only to go back up and puke at the smell of bacon. what the hell? did I catch the fucking flu? I sit on my bed for a minute then make myself walk downstairs and take some cold medication to get ahead of it so I can last through this meeting. Jace comes down after a few minutes and we head out to our bikes. I hop on mine and he straddles his. I lead him to the community home and we both park next to the rest of the bikes. the house was very far off the road as expected and it's huge. I look at the massive house and Jace looks confused. "whats wrong?" I ask "what is the name of the gang?" he asks "BTK," I tell him "well this is going to be interesting," he said. that made me nervous. I knock on the door and when its opened I am met with multiple guns in my face. I don't flinch because my hand was already on my own when I saw the end of a barrel. they all relax when they see it's me and look sheepish. "sorry boss. no one ever knocks. it's for the whole gang so we all have a key and we don't bother with knocking" Jordan says. "no problem" I tell them. "this is-" I am cut off "Jonathan?" they all ask "hey boys" he says. "you said you were bringing a Jace" Jordan says as he gives Jace a bro hug "that's what I call him" I tell them. "well at least we know we don't have to put him through all of the prospect shit" says bat "I will never do that shit again" says Jace. "you didn't tell me you knew them. I told you the name" I say slapping his arm "yeah while I was still half asleep this morning" he says "I told you when we pulled up" I say blandly "I don't have an excuse for that" he says. I smack his arm again and shake my head and walk inside with the others behind me making whip noises. I flinch a little when someone gets a little to close to the actual sound but I ignore it and let the guys lead me into what looks like a dining room. "couldn't we have done this later so I could eat lunch" Pete complains "I am starving" he adds. "because we have important business to discuss" bat says. they all sit with me at the head of the table, Jace standing at the other end of the table and Jordan behind me. "so tell me whats happening" I tell them "well my boy just turned eighteen and wants to join" says uncle Malachi "I don't mind but I don't know what the process of joining is" I tell them "start as a prospect. move up to half patch then up to full patch" bat says. "so how do we decide who is allowed to become a prospect?" I ask "vote," Jordan says. "majority or unanimous?" I ask. "I assume everyone knows him?" I ask. they all nod. "ok, all those in favor," I say as I raise my hand. the whole room raises there hand. "anyone against it?" I ask. no one moves. "alright, he's in. what else?" I ask "we need to discuss the gun shipment. how many men. we need to send someone to check out the roads and area to see if its safe to go without a protection run. pick rest stops" he says. "who usually checks the roads and areas?" I ask "we usually end up drawing straws because bat always suggests it and we can't find anything else to do except fight," says Pete. "well then we will draw straws and ill go with whoever gets picked so I know what to look for," I tell them. they all looked kind of shocked except Jace who is grinning in the back "Prez never scopes the road or area" Jordan whispers in my ear. "have you ever had a girl Prez?" I ask him. he shakes his head no "well there's a first time for everything" I tell him. "so why don't one you guys bring me some damn straws and a pair of scissors so I know which one of you I have to go with" I tell them with a grin "I got you" bat says. he comes back with the straws and scissors. I cut them up over the table in different lengths and make sure there is enough for everyone. I walk around the room and let everyone pick a straw. I sit back down and look around. I catch a glimpse of the short straw. "oh this is going to be fun" Jace says with a grin. they all let out a bunch of sarcastic woops and kissing faces " I swear it's like a bunch of children" I tell Jordan who is the only one acting like an adult. I grin at them. " I bet he's got more than one short straw," says bat "ill take that bet," I tell him. I see Jace in the back just grinning. "my dick and my bike are both bigger than yours" Jace says. "you two really are meant for each other" says Jordan. everyone laughs at that. we get back to business after the laughter dies down. "so how many men should we send down there for the shipment?" I ask "we usually go for three when it's not a protection run but if the roads and area are bad then it's your decision," says Meliorn. "ok. what else is there to discuss?" I ask "a location for the anniversary," says bat. "can we talk about that tomorrow. I'm starving" says Pete "I will cook lunch for all of you is you will stop complaining about the rest of the meeting," I say with a laugh. "its a deal. continue" he says. "ok, would the warehouse work?" I ask. "its to well known if they figure out that Hodge spilled then they will look there next," says my uncle Enoch. "are there any other locations?" I ask "the lightwoods old house is still open for other MC's to crash mostly but its big enough," says bat. Jace and I share a look across the room at the mention of our friend's last name. "is it safe?" I ask "yeah. since they died we only let a couple people crash there and they are all still loyal" says uncle Malachi. "so let's have it there" I say "it needs a little cleaning up first but that sounds fine" Jordan says "ill go up there and clean it this week" I tell them. "anything else?" I ask. "we are having another meeting tomorrow when a couple guys from other MC's will be down here so we can talk about the attack," Jordan says "is that all?" I ask. they all shake there heads. "alright then I will go to the store and get the stuff to make hamburgers for everyone" I tell them "don't worry about it, the old ladies are coming down to clean the house for the MC's. I can get Maia to pick up the stuff" Jordan says "she has to stock up the fridge here for the guys anyway" he adds. "you guys make your wives and girlfriends clean up the community house" I say feeling shocked. they all look fearful "yes" bat says "wrong answer man" Jace says "not today the ladies are going to hang out and have a beer while I cook and you lot clean" I say. they all start moving without a word and don't seem to mind until "OH THIS IS BULL!-" I flinch slightly at his tone. "Hey!" Meliorn is cut off by Jordan "that's the Prez your talking to, watch your tone" he says. I feel Jace rub his hands up and down my arms. I hadn't even noticed he was there before. the yelling almost put me in a compromising position. I hate that little things, like yelling and screaming, can make me flinch or throw me into a panic.I am lucky I only flinched considering I am the president of this big lot of strong men and looking like a weak scared little girl can get me kicked to the curb real quick. I must look angry instead of scared because Meliorn looks as though he thinks he is naked in front of all of us. "get to cleaning boys" I say with a smirk. "yes ma'am" says Meliorn. he walks out and sounds as though he is getting a vacuum. the other men all laugh their asses off while I grin. when they recover from there fits of laughter they all leave the room to go clean except Jace. "you alright. you looked scared for a second" he says. "yeah. just old habits" I tell him "now get to cleaning" I tell him. eventually, the old ladies get here and look completely shell-shocked. they can't see me because Jordan is in front of me and also I am short. "when did you guys start cleaning" asks a tall girl with red hair. "since we got a girl prez" says Meliorn who is obviously in a relationship with the girl. I can tell by the kiss they share and the ass smack that comes from Meliorn. "I'm definitely ready to meet this woman," says a shorter dark-skinned girl with curly black hair. "well I'm clary and I am hoping you are Maia with the food," I say as I step from behind Jordan. " I am. now can you please tell me how you got Jordan to touch a vacuum," she says "just perks of being prez," I tell her. I take some of the bags from her hands and take them to the kitchen. "all you ladies can crack open a cold one while the boys clean and I fix lunch" I tell them as they follow me to the kitchen with the groceries and the cleaning supplies that they soon abandon in the supply closet. "like I'm going to let you cook alone after you got my man to clean for once" she says "but ill still have a beer" she says as she pulls a can from the multiple cases. "I will take one of those," I say as I pluck one from the case. I crack it open and grab the bag of charcoal and lighter fluid. I put the stuff in the grill on the back deck and pull a lighter out of my back pocket. I light the coals and leave the grill to heat up. I go inside and start preheating the grease fryer for the fries. "what can I do?" Maia asks "sit and help me make patties," I tell her. the other girls help to and we all introduce ourselves properly. the red heads name turned out to be Seelie and there was also Kaelie, who is just good friends with the girls, Camille, who used to date Raf but is now with Pete, Jia, who is with Patrick whos name I overheard spoken to him, and aline who is Jia and Patricks daughter. they told me that my aunt Catarina and her and Malachi's son Eric (AN: yeah I know. odd combo. I needed some people and I don't like adding in people who don't exist in the books so I threw them together. you'll understand why I needed the two later) will be here soon. we gossip a little about the girls that they all call crow eaters (AN: yes I'm also using SOA terminology. I know but I needed a word and it always makes me laugh when they say that in the show so I used it and I didn't know what else to call them) apparently those girls have broken up a couple marriages and relationships. I also learned when she left the room for the toilets that Kaelie was a part of that category. apparently, none of the old ladies like her but she always finds out when the family is meeting and comes to the events anyway. damn these girls can gossip. we finish the patties so I put them on the grill and put the fries in the fryer. I make Jace check the burgers after I burn my hand and curse the grill. "this is a mans job anyway" he says with a laugh. I smack his shoulder. "damn girl. I dread the day you find a reason to actually intend to hurt me" he says I laugh and go back inside. Kaelie is sitting in the kitchen as I take one batch of fries from the fryer and put another in. "so Jace is pretty hot right" she says "yeah I hope so considering he's my boyfriend" I joke "wait, you're with Jace" she says "yeah" i tell her as I salt the fries "oh girl you don't want that as a boyfriend just a good lay" she says "well I don't have to want it considering I've had him for a little over three months now" I tell her "and he hasn't ever given me a reason to doubt that he intends to stay with me for a good long while" I tell her "well when I knew him that wasn't his style at all and it won't surprise me when he breaks it off with you soon" she says with a shit-eating grin "honey I've had a lot of people walk out on me. I know the signs. if I ever saw any in Jace I wouldn't have gotten together with him. I don't care how you knew him then because I know him now" i tell her "well i just wanted to try and warn you so he doesn't do the same thing to you that he did to me" she says "Kaelie having a one night stand and not staying for breakfast doesn't mean that we were together and I left you" Jace says from his position against the door frame. "why are you here anyway. shouldn't you be with the other crow eaters instead of the immediate family" he adds "you don't classify me as family Jacey" she says as she sashays over to him and puts her arms around his neck "not in the slightest" Jace says "until one of the boys knock you up how about you go back to the whore house you came from" I told her. she lets out a shocked shriek and walks over to me and slams her hands on the counter "why don't you go join your brother and father in hell" she shrieks "how about I put a cap in your ass and you go instead" I say with a deadly calm voice. a look of pure terror covers her face and she grabs her purse and runs out of the house like a retarded deer in her ugly hot pink cheetah print pumps. "I officially love you," says Maia from the doorway. I see some other heads peek around the corner of the doorway. "guys, I don't care if you listen to me arguing with a slut" I tell the old ladies. I'm shocked when the whole gang comes around the corner. "I thought it was just girls that like to eavesdrop on other girls arguing," I say with a laugh "first time for everything," Jordan says throwing my own words back at me. "Jace, are the burgers ready yet?" I ask as I laugh at the gang "they will be in about two minutes" he says as I pull out the second batch of fries and put in the last one. god, it's like feeding an army. the girls set out the huge basket of fries and the fillers and condiments for the burgers while I put the plastic silver where into separate cups and set them out along with the paper plates, plastic cups, and napkins. my aunt Catarina and Eric finally get here as Jace brings the burgers to the buffet of food. I get out the buns and put them on a tray and then tell the guys that its time to eat. "oh and you guys have to clean up the kitchen after lunch" I tell them. some of them groan but the ones with wives specifically, all say, as per usual while the other ones with girlfriends just nod except Meliorn who replies with another petrified "yes ma'am" we all laugh and then go eat. we have a few more beers and then Jace and I head out to our bikes so we can go home. I look for my bike in the crowd of other bikes and when I see it I instantly am ready to murder someone "who the hell keyed my fucking bike" I scream. it must have been loud because Jordan was outside with his gun in hand and couple other followed while other the other men aim their guns from the window and I catch a glimpse of the ladies peeking from upstairs. "whats wrong?" Jordan asks "nothing to wave a gun over" I tell him "yet" I add as I think about slitting the throat of the suicidal bitch that touched my baby. "who the hell cut up my bike" I shout "that would have been Kaelie" shouts aline from the upstairs window. "that doesn't surprise me in the slightest" says Jordan. they all lower there weapons and put them back in there waistbands and holsters. " I swear I'll kill that bitch," I say as I look closer at the damage to see what I have to do to make my baby better. "dammit, now I have to get a new paint job," I say. go back inside and have a good night guys, Jace go-ahead home. I'm going to see if a friend of mine wants to give me a free paint job" I tell them " I can ride with you," he says "trust me when I say you don't want to go. plus he doesn't like people he doesn't know. it will go smoother if I go alone" I tell him. "ok call me on the way home" he says. I nod and straddle my bike. I rev the engine and speed off to my oh so special friends house. note the sarcasm.
