Hi guys! Sorry for leaving you on a cliffhanger. I just want to make it clear, Clary will not be crawling back to Jace. Sorry to any hardcore Clace shippers. They might end up together… But Jace will have a hard time getting her back, if he does… Please review! Tell me what you want to happen to Clace. And I'm sorry guys, I kind of lied… The story is gonna be in almost all Clary's POV, with a little of other people's perspectives.

I'm sorry, I forgot last chapter! DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Mortal Instruments gang, much as I would like to. They are owned by the amazing, one and only Cassandra Clare. At least I own Johnathan, Brad and Alexa!

Clary's POV

Johnathan lunged at Jace, scratching his claws across Jace's face. He pulls one of his best tricks, that not many werewolves can do. He gives himself a voice box and vocal cords, effectively creeping Jace out by being a talking werewolf. "If you want it to stop, all you have to do is admit that you are a loser who doesn't deserve Clary, and admit that Clary, Alexa and I are better than you. Easy." he growls.

"Never!" Jace says indignantly. Johnathan shrugs, which looks really weird when you are a werewolf.

"Your choice." He lunges at Jace once more, this time landing on top of Jace, turning his paws into hands so he can punch Jace's face repeatedly. With scary agility, he leaps off Jace and begins prowling, hands once again paws. He slashes Jace's arms, one after the other, leaving identical marks down them both, then repeats it on Jace's legs. Finally, he steps on Jace's face lightly, snapping his nose and leaving a big paw-shaped bruise.

The rest of the gang winces, Alec more than the others. "Oh!" I gasp. "Alec, I'm so sorry. Here." I take my stele and draw an unfamiliar rune on Alec. "It's a special rune for parabatai. It makes it so they don't feel each other's pain, they only feel when the other dies. It's helpful when two parabatai are battling demons together." Alec looked at her in wonder.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." he says, amazed. I grin shyly.

"Fine!" Jace yells, punching Johnathan's snout. "I am a loser! I don't deserve Clary! She, Alexa and you are better than me." Johnathan grins.

"Clary?" he asks, clearing the way for me to Jace. I walk over and crouch down with my stele. I pretend to be drawing an iratze, but instead I draw a pain rune before I draw the iratze.

"Why does it still hurt?" Jace questions as he sees his wounds heal.

"Probably because I drew a well-deserved pain rune first. You punched my friend! My parabatai's boyfriend!" I throw the words over my shoulder as I turn back to Johnathan and draw another rune on his snout. It begins to heal quickly.

"That wasn't an iratze." Isabelle notes.

"Nope." I reply. "That was another new rune. It heals the wounds and in each place where a wound was, the skin, muscles and bone are stronger. Don't worry about punching Jace though. He just got a regular iratze." I smirk at Jace. "Guys, I'm gonna go to sleep. We have training tomorrow. Um… Alexa will show you to your rooms. Bye." I jog up the stairs, hearing Alexa start to decide who will be where. At the top of the stairs, I turn back. "And Alexa?"

"What?" she asks.

"Put Jace in the farthest room from mine and Brad's. I wouldn't want him to disturb us." I wink at her. She grins.

"Of course."

"You share a room with someone?" Jace asks with barely concealed rage.

"Well, not exactly. He is across from my room, but sometimes he sleeps into my room or vice versa." I smirk. "Brad!" I call.

He comes down the stairs. "What's up, babe?" he says.

"They wanted to meet my boyfriend. And I wanted to knock Jace down a few notches by showing him there is such a thing as someone hotter than him."

Jace scoffs. "He is not hotter than me."

"He is though, Jace." Isabelle breathes in wonder as she looks at him. She's right. Brad has brown hair and beautiful blue eyes like the ocean that you can get lost in, and he's strong without looking too out there. I walk over to Izzy and whisper in her ear.

"Iz, just remember that he is taken and so are you." She laughs.

"I know, I know…"

Jace is still hung up on us saying that Brad is hotter than him. "There is absolutely no such thing as someone hotter than me! It doesn't happen! Being hot and strong is my job."

"If that's how you feel, Jace, then I challenge you to a bet. A fight, one on one, between us. If I win, then you either have to back off of me or watch us make out. I you win, then you can take me out on a date. Provided that Brad agrees." I look at my boyfriend. He nods, unsuccessfully holding back a grin. "What do you say, Jace? Will you fight? Or are you too worried that I will win?"

"No way!" he says indignantly. "Of course I'll fight you. Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."

"Will you now." I mutter.

Jace's POV

She wants to fight me. Please. She has changed, but she can't have changed enough to beat me. Me! Clary doesn't stand a chance. I will get that date. I need her back. I need my Clary. But how can she think that her new boyfriend is hotter than me? I am amazing.

Alexa begins to show us all to our rooms. Clary is walking with her, ignoring the rest of us and laughing with her parabatai. I'm happy for her that she has one. When Alec became my parabatai, it was the best day of my life. We walk through many twisting hallways, and I'm amazed that Clary knows her way around so well. With 20 years I might not be able to memorize this place. It's worse than the New York Institute!

Finally, we come to a room that Clary stops at. Simon and Isabelle already got their new rooms, across the hall from one another. "All right." she announces. "This is my room. If you need to find me or Alexa for something, her room is right there" she points at the room next to her "and my room is here, and you can tell our rooms apart from the rest of the Institute's rooms because we have this gold around our door frames."

"If this is your room, then that would make this" I point across the hall to another door across from hers. "my room."

"Sure, if you plan on rooming with Brad." she smirks, laughing with Alexa. "Which just to be clear, I will not allow." she adds. Alexa laughs even harder. "No, Jace, you see that door wayyyyy over there?" Clary asks, pointing down the hall. There is a single door that is very far away from Clary's room.

"Yeeees?" I respond.

"That's your room." She begins to walk down to it as everyone else laughs.

"You want me that far away from you?" I ask, hurt, not knowing the rest of the gang is following behind. Clary, however, clearly notices.

"No, of course not, Jace." she says, acting hurt that I would even suggest it. My heart leaps. "But unfortunately, we aren't allowed to make you sleep outside in the rain. The Clave thinks that alligators would chew your face off. I said I thought that would be an improvement, but what can you do?" She breaks the act and begins laughing uproariously as everyone else does as well behind me, finally clueing me in to their presence. My heart falls and I stare at the floor, embarrassed I fell for her act.

"See, that's the sarcasm I asked you to hold in check, Clary!" Alexa laughs.

"But-but I was!" Clary replied. "You have no idea how many smart remarks I have managed to keep in already." she giggles. The guy who is in the room across from her who Iz thinks is hotter than me comes out of the crowd. I hadn't even noticed he was with us.

"That's the Clary I know!" he says, leaning down and kissing her. I see red. I didn't even realize that I had started to move when I feel Alexa's hand on my shoulder. She looks like she is just resting it there, but she has an iron grip.

"Don't even think about it." she says warningly. Clary breaks away from her boyfriend.

"You guys, I think there is something that you don't know. Let me remind you that this is Jace's bedroom, and I am a smartass." She opens the door. It is that moment when I realize that someone has bested me by way of their wit. Behind the door lies a janitor's closet.

"I figured it would be fitting," she smugly finishes, "considering the job I think Jace is perfect for." Everyone is literally falling over themselves laughing. Magnus hits the floor and can't get up. "You guys would probably never figure it out, but I'm just kidding." Clary adds, pleased with the reaction she is getting. "I am actually joking, Jace. Put a smile on your face. Even if you were the victim, it was hilarious. Your bedroom is over there." she says, pointing to another door as she looks at me without a look of disgust for the first time.

"This better not be a boiler room." I mutter, eliciting another giggle from Izzy and Magnus. I open the door and it isn't.

"Shall I give you a tour? All of the rooms are designed the same, so one tour is the same as touring all of your rooms. All right. All of the rooms have their own master bathrooms. They all have king size beds with pillowtop mattresses and walls that you can paint however you want. We live in the lap of luxury here." She leads us through the whole room with similar commentary. The rooms are amazing, so much better than at the New York Institute.

When we finally get to go to bed, I collapse on the mattress, not even caring that Brad went to bed in Clary's room. I probably should care, but I haven't slept well in two years, ever since Clary left. I have a few fights tomorrow, and I have school. Now that I can have one, a good night's sleep is important.

Clary's POV

I can't wait to make them get up super early tomorrow for "school". Yeah right. I quit school a while ago back in New York. I wasn't gonna start again and Alexa and Brad don't go either. I will get them in the training room and make them train for 6 hours like Brad, Alexa and I do and then we will go clubbing at Stratosphere tonight to kill demons. If Jace's muscles get tired, he will deserve it. I'll have him fight after training, just to exhaust him.

"Alright guys, come on! Get up, get up, get up! We have school!" I yell. I'm always the first one up at around 5 am, so I always take a half hour to make breakfast and a half hour to myself before waking everyone up at 6 to eat breakfast for an hour, have an hour for digestion, and then start training at 8. We have a lunch break at 12 until 12:30, and training stops at 2. Then we have time to relax, in Brad's case, and in mine and Alexa's cases we get time to get ready. We go clubbing every night at Stratosphere and kill demons, and then we come back to the Institute and do whatever we want until we go to bed. I try to keep us on a consistent schedule.

Jace stumbles out of his room, shirtless and bleary eyed. "How are you up so early?" he asks, rubbing his face.

"I was up an hour ago." I say with a cheeky smile, enjoying how he rolls his eyes sleepily, too tired for a comeback. "Breakfast is in the kitchen. If you can't remember how to get there, just knock on my door and I'll show you the way."

He widens his eyes in panic. "Did Isabelle get up early and cook, because if she did, you might not remember, but that means throwing it out." I laugh.

"I could never forget that. And don't worry about food poisoning, I made breakfast. Eat fast, you have to finish by seven. That's when I take the food away, no matter what. You may be guests, but that doesn't change the schedule. After breakfast, meet me in the training room at 8. If you are late I will come find you and you won't like it."

He tilts his head questioningly. "What about school?"

I laugh hard. He raises one eyebrow and I proudly mirror the movement. I just learned how to do it and I can tell he is unnerved. "I lied." I finally respond. "We don't go to school." He just shakes his head and moves to a different topic.

"I saw Brad go into your room last night." he says carefully, and I just roll my eyes.

"Do you really want to go into my love life, Jace?"

"Not exactly, I just want another chance. I know I don't deserve it, but…"

"Jace, I forgave you awhile ago. I didn't want to live my life hating you. Tell you what. Come to my room at 7:15 and we will talk. But for now, eat breakfast. We train for about 6 hours a day here. You need your food. We are going to Stratosphere tonight."

"Stratosphere?" he questions.

"It's the Miami version of Pandemonium. We're going demon hunting tonight." Izzy comes out of her room, Simon close behind. I roll my eyes at Simon's particularly mussed hair and Isabelle's swollen lips. Alec and Magnus come out in similar states and I start laughing out loud.

"What?" Magnus demands. "Clary, if you are going to get us up at 6 am and then start laughing at us, you better explain why, biscuit." I just shook my head, still laughing.

"As I was just explaining to Jace, I've been up for an hour and breakfast is in the kitchen. Don't worry, Alexa is like Izzy, a horrible cook but I'm not. It's muffins, pancakes or waffles. Take your pick."

"Hey!" Isabelle demands.

"Eat fast, because I take away breakfast at seven, no exceptions. Then do whatever you want until 8, which is when you better be in the training room or I will haul your butt there and go hard on you. We train non stop until noon, then a half hour break for lunch. Then we train more until two, which is when we stop and the boys can chill, but us girls have to start getting ready. We are going to Stratosphere tonight." I continue, ignoring Izzy's sounds of protest.

Alec drew in a breath and I knew what he would ask. I held up a hand to stop him. "I want to see if I can guess your question. Stratosphere is the Miami Pandemonium. It's a club. Jace, you are thinking of asking me if I'm crazy, because the schedule I gave you gives you about six hours of training. Yep. You guys are used to about 2-3 hours of training, from what I remember, so be ready. I'm used to it. The schedule has stayed the same for me since I got here. Not changed a bit. You better get used to it." I shrug.

"Why do we have to get used to it?" Jace asks. "How do you know if we will be staying long enough to have to get used to it?"

"Jace, I know that you guys are staying because I won't leave Alexa and Brad, you won't leave without me, Alec and Izzy won't leave without you, and Magnus and Simon won't leave without them, respectively. Now get to breakfast, because I won't give you extra food time because of this chat! Oh and while you are all still here, don't ask me about school. I felt like torturing you for the night. We don't go to school here." Everyone starts to the kitchen, not arguing with Clary's words. No one could complain about no school.

Hi guys! It's Annie! Thank you so much to you guys for favoriting my story and extra thanks to Guest for my first review. I love you guys! Thank you! Please review and tell me what to do with Jace in the training room, I need ideas on what to do with Jace to torture him during the fight, and I have to decide who should win. Bye!
