"Valentina Sophie Morganshtain why on earth are you shouting and running with scissors!" Clary looked at her sister, who was standing next to Max. Everybody else went quiet.

"Max and I were playing haircut and then he cut his finger while he was cutting my hair," Val said

"You cut your hair!" now really angry Clary said, "Show me!"

Val turned around, now she was standing with her back to Clary. Clary´s eyes widened and her hand flew to her mouth.

"Why did you do that?" Clary started "Ok, understand nine years and everything, but why so short? You know what I think about cutting your hair." everybody was staring at Clary and two children.

"I asked him to cut until my back and he started cutting there my shoulders are then I turned he missed and cut his finger!" Val said "Easy!"

"Maybe someone will take care of my finger in this house!" Max whined, he obviously had no idea how angry Clary can be.

"Shut up!" Val hissed, Max gave her a look but didn´t say anything.

"Show me your finger, Max," Clary said with an annoying expression on her face.

Max came to Clary and show her, his little cut on a finger. She examined his finger and said "Poor boy, I think we will have to cut your fingers." as Clary finished she looked at Val and Max who were both pale now, she heard probably Jace and John trying to hold back their laughter.

"B...but...but can you do something about it?" asked Max who was really pale now

"I think there might be a chance... " Clary started, and looked at Max who was looking very hopeful "but I am not sure if it will work" Max sat on both knees beside Clary and looked at her eyes

"PLEASE, tell me!" he begged

"I don´t know..." she started and in that moment, Val also sat beside Clary

"Please Clary" she begged "or we won´t be able to do activities"

Clary tried to hide her smile, but she heard that everybody else started choking on their laughter "Ok, but you need to do four things for me."

"Anything!" both said in unison

"Ok, you need..." she started both looking pleading in her eyes "give me scissors, clean your room, eat your breakfast and get ready to go on a lake. Understood?" she asked

"Yes ma'am," Val said, gave her scissors and both stormed up the stairs, as soon as the door closed everybody burst out laughing.


After they ate breakfast and Clary put a plaster on Max´s finger, everybody went to get their things to go on a lake. Clary went to the bathroom and changed in a green bikini, jean shorts, and white tank top. Then she entered out, she saw Jace was sitting on the bed. He was reading, next to him was a bag, probably with towels. Clary moved to him and he didn´t even look up at her:

"What are you reading?" she asked

"Looking my dad´s and mom´s album," he said sadly

"Do...do you want to talk about them?" Clary asked he looked at her. She saw the war in his eyes telling her that he was thinking about what should he say. Finally, he opened his mouth to tell her something but then closed it again, instead he reached out for her and pull Clary on his lap. She rested her head on his shoulder.

"I promise I will tell you, but not now it´s too difficult for me." Jace said, "Clary I need you to now something I love you and always will, so don´t think I don´t trust you or something, please!" Clary listened and said:

"I am not pushing on you Jace, I know and I can understand you, but..." she felt him tensed a little under her "I want you to know you can come to me and ask me to help you because I always be there for you, ok?" now they were looking at each others eyes, emerald on gold.

"Ok," he whispered and leaned closer to her, as soon as their lips met Clary felt a shiver ran down her spine. This was a very sweet kiss, not like they had in the school hallway. Then they pulled apart she felt little dizzy and felt a smile found it´s way on her lips. Suddenly someone knocks on the door. Jace and Clary pulled apart and shout in unison:

"Come in!" the door opened and John came in, he looked at both Clary and Jace

"Come on everybody is waiting!" he said, "And can I talk to Jace for a moment?"

"Please," Clary said, nodding at Jace

"Alone," John said

"But no fights," she said and looked at two boys "Got it!"

"Yes," both answered in unison and shared a long look.

When Clary stood up and entered out of the room, mumbling something about `big, overprotective brothers` . When she disappeared John said:

"Are you still going to do it?"

"Yes" Jace answered immediately

"Ok," John said, "I thought about it and yes I allow you to do that because she is eighteen and can make her own choices" Jace let out a breath of real life "but only if you will swear that you are not going to hurt her!" John looked at him very serious. Jace stood from his bed.

"I will never going to hurt her, she is my world, I love your sister more than anything!" he said.

"It better be true." he said, "But I really like, that first you came to me, for my permission."

"Yea, let´s go I think they already waiting for us," Jace said and both boys went downstairs. Everybody was there waiting for them. When they entered the room Alec said:

"Hallelujah! They finally came, can we go now?"

"Yes we can," John said. Max and Val went out first then Izzy, Simon, Alec, Magnus, Liz, John and it was Clary´s and Jace´s turn when Clary turned to Jace.

"What did he want?" she asked

"Just boys talking about him and Liz." Jace said while putting his arm around Clary´s shoulder and closing the door "Nothing serious, babe" he whispered in her ear. Clary giggled.

"Ok. Let´s go!" she said and both made their way toward the lake.


"What do you mean they are not here?" man asked through his phone

"They went to Lightwood´s family house," Sebastian said

"Fine, Rath will start when they will come back," he said

"Ok, see you," Sebastian said and hang up. The man went into the living room and sat down on the couch. After thirty minutes the door opened and two, one black haired and another blond haired man came in.

"Is there any news Michael?" the man which was sitting on the couch asked

"No, we can´t find them" black haired man said

"When she will be mine?" the blond guy asked, "I am tired of waiting!"

"Soon son soon" man on a couch whispered.

Thank you!
