Chapter 3 is up :D I hope you all love it! -With all my love, arieshades

She began walking down the stairs when she heard a loud booming laugh, and lots of other laughter trailing behind. In the quiteness it had scared her. she jumped and looked to her right.

There, gathered in the kitchen, was Jace and the others. They were all laughing loudly and she wasn't sure at what. Jace, even with his mouth full, looked like he could possibly sprout wings and fly to heaven...where people with his phantasmigoric beauty actually existed. His eyes were squinted with laughter and he had his chair back on two legs, the muscles of his abs contracting with laughter. She smiled too, and he saw her. She quickly began walking again, embarrassed that she had been caught staring.

In the split second she looked behind she saw Jace lazily stretch, and put an arm behind Clary's chair. She looked at him and smiled, wrinkling her nose, and he winked at her.

'Well that's that then.' She thought, letting her shoulders drop slightly. so he was with the redhead.

She took the subway way out of brooklyn and to the suburbs on the outskirts of the city. On the train she saw a pixie, luring in a punk looking boy. With the glamour, Arie could see that she had blonde hair and a slim body and looked average and pretty. But Arie blinked away the glamour and she saw that her eyes were deep dark black empty sockets, her nails were long talon like, and when she smiled her teeth were all pointed like a sharks. The Mundane looked mesmerized and Arie shook her head. She knew his fate if the evil pixies seduction would succeed, and it was a grim fate indeed.

Two young warlock boys with glittered faces, and hair that stuck up in crazy arrays sat in the corner of the sub car, kissing passionately. All the others on the car didn't seem to acknowledge them so Arie knew it must be an invisible glamour they were using. Finally, she reached her stop and when she got off, she began walking towards her home that was only a few blocks away. She was almost to her developement when a sudden figure appeared out of no where out of corner of her eye. she turned and when she looked, it seemed that there was no one there. She caught her breath, and steadied herself a bit. 'It's okay, Arie. There's no one there. See?' she said to herself.

When she turned back around to start heading home again, she ran smack into someone's broad cold chest. She rebounded and tripped over her feet, falling backwards. She looked up and she saw the tall stark figure of a man. She had a scream worked up in her throat and she tried to let it out but it wouldn't come.

The figure loomed over her, and then leaned down...inches from her face. "Walk much?" the voice said.

Arie was partly relieved to here the oddly familar voice, and even more pissed off about it. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" she said, pushing on Jace's broad chest.

He laughed lightly and stumbled back into the street light. "I was making sure you would get home okay. It's not safe for a pretty nephilim such as yourself to be wondering the streets of brooklyn at such an ungodly hour."

She tried to stand up and he extended a hand. "Let me help you."

"I'm Fine." she said through gritted teeth and stood, brushing off the dirt on her pants. She then pushed past him and began striding down the street, hearing his foot steps fall behind her.

"Look, I'm a big girl." She said turning. "I know how to take care of myself."

"Stubburon." he winked. "That's endearing, Angel. But tell me," he said leaning in closely, his minty breath cooler on her face than the Autumn air. "Say it wasn't me that wandered out of that Alley way. What if it was a Du' Sein demon, or a Forsaken, or Even a Vampire...would you have known how to defend yourself?"

Arie was shaking with his closeness, and trembeling with rage. How dare he insult her strength! but he was right, she knew it. So she said nothing.

A Coy smile pulled at the corners of his mouth and she wanted to smack it off. "That's what i thought." Then he pushed past her and began walking.

She stared at him, incredulous. "Where are you going?"

He stopped, and smiled at her. "Well i'm assisting you on your journey home, like the gentleman I am." he said smiling a devishly handsome smile. She stared at him, in awe of his belegerant arrogance. "Well?" He said expectantly. "Are you going to follow me or am I going to have to throw you over my shoulder and drag you to your house?"

She stood there for a second. "Don't test my patients, Arie." He said with his eyes narrowed. "Don't think I'm opposed to the second option."

"You wouldn't." She said, folding her arms.

He strode towards her, and said "As you wish." Then without an effort, he threw her over his shoulder as if she were dead weight.

"PUT ME DOWN!" She said, flailing against him.

She felt him shake with laughter, and he just continued striding up the street as if he were carrying a feather over his shoulder, other than Arie.

"Quit screaming, Someone will call the police and claim domestic violence." he said, and she could hear the smile in his voice.

"Well they wouldn't be too far off now would they?" Arie hissed.

He continued to walk and Arie stopped struggling.

About five minutes into her awkward position, and Jace's annoying humming Arie said. "Jace, Please put me down. I'll walk, I'll let you walk me home if you wish. Just please put me down."

He sighed and with a swift light movement he dropped her to her feet. She groaned and stretched back, her spine crackeling as she did. "Thank you." She said, in a sigh.

He smiled and said. "It's kind of disappointing. I had a lovely view of you over my shoulder like that."

Arie opened her mouth in surprise and then shut it abruptly. "Just come on. It's cold."

They turned and began walking again, Arie said. "So, Clary's your girlfriend?"

He looked at her as if she had seven heads. "What? Clary? No! no no no no." he said shaking his head and his blonde hair shook with it.

"Oh." Was the only response she could come up with.

"I'm not going to lie. We tried dating for a while, and we found it to...to strinous." He said, looking ahead. shoving his hands into his pockets. "She was so much like my sister and I was always gone and I just...well I cannot contain my flirtatious side. What about you? I mean, I bet you have some Jerk football player of a boyfriend right?"

Arie looked at him baffled. "Me? hahahaha!" she laughed.

"What?" He said, genuinly puzzled.

"I don't have a boyfriend and never have."

"You're shitting me." He said, laughing. Arie Found it insulting.

"Being able to see Demons, and Warlocks isn't exactly on everyones list of qualities in a girl." Arie said, looking at her feet.

"Well that's stupid." He said, and she looked at him and he was looking back at her. "Those are the sexiest kind."

Jace, she realized, had killer bad boy good looks and made you want to melt. Mischeviosness was locked into his golden lion like eyes, and his coy smile curved up in the corners. He handled himself in a way that had suggested an overly confident lifestyle.

She was about to say something when he came to a stop. "Here we are." he said, walking over to her white fence and unlatching it, holding it open for her.

"How did you know this was my house?" She asked, curiously.

He winked. "Let's just say a little birdy told me. Now, Shall I walk you too the door like a proper gentleman?"

"If you insist." Arie groaned, but she secretly loved it.

She heard the screen door bang shut and she saw her mothers amazing raven hair, and glittering blue eyes even from far away. "I think someones been expecting you." Jace whispered in my ear, and his closeness made my heart rate pick up.

"Hey, mom." Arie smiled.

Her mother wasn't looking at her though. She had her eyes trained on jace, Narrowed. "No. It can't be." She whispered.

Arie looked at Jace and he smiled at her mother. "Hello, Chloe. It's been a long time."

Her mother covered her mouth with her hand, and let out a sheirk. Her eyes rimmed with tears and she attacked Jace with a hug. Embracing him tightly.

He hugged her back, burying his face in her shoulder. "Oh, Jace." Her mother sobbed. "I thought you were dead!"
