Chapter 11: Ransom Texts
Jace bit into his turkey sandwich with rage. It was around one in the morning, after Carzel and Clary had kissed, Jace had left and come back home. He couldn't believe Clary had done that to him. His thoughts of Clary and the kiss were interrupted when Isabelle walked in. She was in her pajamas and slippers. She frowned at him as she opened the fridge, "What are you doing up?"
"Nothing," he mumbled.
Isabelle pulled out a bottle of water and sat next to Jace, "Let's cut to the chase."
He rolled his eyes, "What chase?"
"Your a bad boyfriend, Jace."
"What do you mean! I wasn't the one who kissed another person while dating someone else," Jace said taking another bite of his sandwich.
"Clary told me what happened, how you broke up with her." Jace didn't answer. "Jace, I wonder how you would feel if every time you were out with Clary, she was staring at another guy and flirting with them naturally, while you two were on a date."
Jace narrowed his eyes, "I don't flirt with guys."
Isabelle took a swig of water, "You know what I mean. You always have your eyes on other girls and its really hard on Clary. You don't deserve her, she's probably the best girlfriend you will ever have."
Jace closed his eyes. "I'm not always flirting with other girls."
Isabelle gave an amused laugh, "Yes, you are, you probably don't notice it, but you always are." Jace shook his head, "For example the first time we met Basil, you were flirting with her."
Jace growled, "Basil's turning out to be a large problem." He turned toward Isabelle. "What do I do to get Clary back, Isabelle."
"Apologize, Clary's one of those classy girls do something special, buy her flowers, or sing her a love song, or write her a note about how sorry you are and read it to her."
Jace nodded, "Its not a bad idea." He gave a small smirk, "What kind of girl are you?"
Isabelle glared at him. "I'm the kind of the girl thats not afraid to get her whip out at 1 in the morning."
Jace stood up with his turkey sandwich, "Point taken. Goodnight." Isabelle watched him walk to his room.
Basil narrowed her eyes as Jace walked away. "This will not do, Jace and Clary cannot get back together, especially after all I've been through with that blonde idiot," Basil thought her mouth forming a straight line, "This will not do at all." Basil stared at Isabelle an idea coming on, and she grinned. She pulled out her phone, "Hey, Ryder can you do me a favor?"
Jace brushed his hair out of his eyes and he knocked on the door again. Clary's voice called out, "Gimme a minute!"
Jace looked down at the rose bouquet in his hand and then back at the door.
The door opened to reveal Clary with her hair up in a ponytail, and she was wearing some sweats. She frowned when she saw Jace, "What do you want?" She asked coldly.
He sighed, handing her the bouquet and looking her in the eye. "I was a real jerk, Clary and I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't forgive me. But, Clary I realized that you and I are meant to be together forever."
Clary snorted, "You realize this AFTER Carzel kissed me."
Jace stepped back as if she'd stuck a spear through his heart. "Yes, I mean no. I always knew this. Even when I thought we were siblings... What I said that night in Idris was true: I love you and I will love you until the day I die-"
Her expression softened, "And if theres a life after that, I'll love you then," Clary whispered finishing the sentence.
"Clary, I'm sorry I flirted with Basil. I had no clue... Its kind of a reflex, I hurt you unintentionally. And it turned out to be bad, because I love you, and you know, she's kind of weird, not someone I could ever like." He paused looking at the hopeful expression on her face, "But I understand if you choose Carz.. Caramel over me."
Clary sighed, "Jace..." She pulled him into the house and locked the door, "Carzel is gay... Well, bi, but mostly leaning on the gay side and it was just to make you jealous... and to make Basil think he's into girls."
Jace took all this in. "So you never really fell for Carzel?"
"No, Jace, my one true love is you. I mean I'm sure I fell for Carzel, I'm very clumsy, I probably tripped at some point... I love you, Jace," Clary whispered.
Jace grinned at her and leaned into kiss her when both of their phones went off. Both of them sighed and Clary pulled out her phone.
"Did you get a message from Alec too?" She asked.
Jace frowned at his phone, "Yep. What does he mean someones gone missing and why did he sign it -A."
Clary bit her lip, "I'm not sure, but he said to meet him at Takis. This is Pretty Little Liars all over again."
Jace stood unmoving, a little confused because he didn't watch mundane shows, "I remember watching that when Magnus had to babysit me before going to the seelie court... A is a sicko."
Clary sighed, "You know. Jace. It could be important."
Jace smiled at her, "I just need to try something first." Before Clary could speak, his mouth was on hers. The kiss was filled with passion, need and want.. And everything that he didn't do before. She pulled away a little dazed and he smiled down at her. "Lets go see what McJagger wants... Rihanna?" He left the roses by the table beside the door and held her hand as they headed over to Takis.
Jace pushed the door open to Taki and they both entered. Magnus, Alec and Simon, were sitting there each tapping the table nervously.
Jace pulled out a chair for Clary at the table and then they sat down. Magnus and Alec gave eachother a small smile when they saw Clary and Jace holding hands.
Jace asked, "What's up?"
Alec bit his lip, "Isabelle's been kidnapped."
Clary groaned, "Did she go to that club again. I told her not to go there. Her whip can't protect her there."
They all gave her a weird look. Magnus shook his head, "No. She went shopping this morning and never came back. We thought she was just at a good Century 21 or something but then we got a text from Izzy's phone."
Clary asked nervously, "What kind of text?"
"Well, it didn't say that she was at Claires," Alec slid his phone over to Clary and Jace, and showed them the message
Shadowhunters and friends,
You have three days. Three days to come to our side and help us become the newest circle. If you want your Isabelle back, come to the Pandemonium at 12 am on Monday morning.
"Poor Isabelle," Clary said.
"Poor people who kidnapped Isabelle, there going to get an earful," Jace said.
"We need to prepare. I don't plan on joining a new circle. We need to get Izzy out of there and destroy them all," Alec said pounding his fist on the table. Alec's phone vibrated.
Jace looked at it, "Another message," he frowned and read it out loud, "We thought you would say that, Alec."
Everyone looked around wildly, "Someone's here," Clary said. The phone vibrated again and Clary read the message, "A lot of people are here, Clary."
Clary eyes widened, "They know my name."
The phone vibrated again and Simon grabbed it, "Yes, we know all your names," he read out loud, it vibrated in his hand, "And we knew you would grab the phone, Simon."
Jace looked around staring at everyones face. "Who has a cell phone out in this place."
The phone vibrated again a mere few seconds later, and Simon groaned, "Yo, this vibrating has got to stop, it's making me need to take a pee." He looked at the message, "Everyone has a cellphone out, its the 21st century, Sherlock Holmes," he read.
Magnus looked at Jace, "I think your Sherlock Holmes, dude."
"I think your gay, Magnus," Jace commented.
"Actually, I'm bi," he said with a smirk.
Jace put his hand up in the air with victory, "I knew it!"
Clary groaned and grabbed the phone from Simon. "Call the phone idiots!" She dialed the number, but it was immediately disconnected and a text came through. "I have it on silent, Clary Fairchild, but quick thinking," Clary sighed reading, "Now to get to my point, don't think you'll walk into the Pandemonium with Isabelle and be able to get out, we will outnumber you, now do what we say once you get there... And no blood has to be spilled..." Clary groaned just as another text came in, "Ttyl, phone's dying! See you Monday chicos."
Jace looked around, "Look for people leaving." They looked just as a pack of people exited Takis.
Simon groaned. "Well we know two things for sure, one, the person is a teenager, and two he or she speaks Spanish."
Alec looked at Simon, "Explain."
"Well, the person used texting slang, like ttyl, and only teenagers do that, and the reason they are hispanic... THEY SAID CHICO!"
Magnus groaned, "A lot of people know whats chicos mean, Simon."
Simon frowned, "I beg to differ, I don't know what it means!"
Clary looked at him, "Weren't you speaking Spanish before we went to the baseball game?"
Simon rolled his eyes, "Clary, honey bun, I failed that class."
Clary realized something, "You failed that class a lot of times actually... Shouldn't you be in summer school for that now?"
"Um... No..." Simon shifted his eyes around.
