Chapter 2
She was playing Happy Wheels when the door to Sebastian's room opened. She turned and saw Jace and Sebastian at the door, carrying grocery bags. She could see the blades they wore gleaming at their hips. "Oh, hey. What did you do?" she asked, curiously. "We got some groceries and stuff." Jace answered. She nodded. "That's cool." "What are you playing?" Sebastian asked, moving to stand behind her, staring at the screen. "It's a game called Happy Wheels." She said in a duh tone.
"What do you do?" "I'll show you.' She turned back around and clicked on a level. It was an obstacle course. She hit the arrow keys and the irresponsible dad on his bike with his son, Timmy, went forward. She made them approach spinning triangles that had spikes above carefully. She went over them and they flung her up into the spikes. "Shit." She cursed. "Stupid guy!" There was a lot of blood pouring out of him. "Basically, you go through these courses, some are hard as hell some are easy. If you die, you sometimes lose your head literally and other body parts." She explained. "When I die, I curse whoever I am controlling out. Simon thinks it's hilarious." She shrugged.
"Nice." Was all he said. "Well, I am going to get a shower." He said. "Me too." Jace agreed. They left to take their showers. She sighed and popped open her e-mail again. She had one message from Simon:
Clary,
Thank God you're OK! I was so worried. Jocelyn will also e-mail you. She understands that you won't be able to answer right away. Alec and Izzy want to know how Jace is. Just remember: be safe! We all love you. Magnus is working on tracking you guys.
Where are you anyway?
Simon.
She clicked reply after looking behind her. No one was there. She typed:
Si,
Hey, I'm OK! Jace is OK. Not normal… but OK. Sebastian is… controlling him. He's different, not my Jace at all… I think it's a result or something from Lilith's ritual thing… Tell everyone I love them too especially mom and Luke.
I am in Italy, I think. Apparently, Valentine had a house that moved around… Yeah, it's weird. I guess Sebastian found it and all… Maybe, I could convince him to let me visit? Probably not.
And tell Magnus I said thanks. I will try my hardest to stay safe. Lol.
Tell everyone I said hi too.
Thanks, SI! Yu are AMAZING!
Clary.
She hit send just as the water from the bathroom next to Sebastian's room turned off. She quickly closed her e-mail and deleted the history of it from the computer. The door opened. "You're still in here?" came Sebastian's voice. She whirled, pretending to be startled, and immediately blushed bright red. He was in nothing but a towel.
"Really?" she asked, her hand flying to cover her eyes. Her face felt hot. She warily stood and peeked through her fingers. He was still standing in the doorway. She moved to where she was standing nervously in front of him. "Can you move? Please?" she asked. He chuckled and stepped aside letting her through. She hurried out of the room and slammed the door closed.
"There's no need to slam the door, Clarissa!" he called as she rushed to Jace's room. She knocked on the door and it opened. Jace was in pajama pants and no shirt. He was barefoot. "Hey." He took in her face. "What's wrong?" he asked, gently touching her red face. "Sebastian walked in wearing nothing but a towel… I really didn't need to see my brother practically naked.
She shuddered, disgusted. "I thought it was great." Sebastian said, from behind. She squeaked and whirled around, tripping over her feet and fell to the floor. Well, she would have if Jace hadn't caught her. She was shaking, truly startled and he wrapped his arms around her, making soothing noises to calm her. She pressed her face into his naked chest.
She just wanted to go into Jace's room with him, cuddle and talk. She pushed him towards his room and he complied, walking backwards, holding her gently, as if she would break. "See you, Seb. And you really got to stop sneaking up on people, especially if they are as skittish as clary." He chuckled, amused, staring at Clary trembling in his muscular arms.
The door shut behind them and they sat on the bed. "I want to punch him.." she muttered. He laughed and rubbed her hair.
They spent the rest of the day cuddling in his bed, talking. She eventually fell asleep listening to him read to her in his soothing voice.
Boom! There, Happy Birthday! I am SOOOO sorry for not updating in for like ever! I have a busy life, you know…
