Clary's POV (5:00 pm)
Simon and I were walking on Park Avenue, we were heading back to his house and on the way was an old looking Cathedral. "Hey Simon want to check out the Inside of the Cathedral over there," I said pointing to the church. "I always seen it but never gone inside."
Simon looked at the church and says "I guess, and take a quick detour, before we go and start playing the video game."
"Ok let's go." The inside looks kind of like a crime scene with tape around that says "Caution Do Not Enter." Over by the left is an elevator. 'Do churches normally have elevators?' "Let's try the 3rd floor." I told Simon.
"Hmm…Interesting there's bedrooms with closets and personal belongings and I think people live here." Simon said.
"Huh…never heard of people living in -" I turned around to get a better view and saw Jace.
"Ahh!" We both screamed.
"What are you doing here?" Jace said slightly a bit angry.
"Uh-I-I saw the Elevator."
"Elevator? It's supposed to be glamoured. How did you find it?"
"Glamoured?" Simon asked.
"Never mind" Jace growled.
"Let's go!" Jace grabbed me by the arm and led me to the exit. "Excuse me!" I broke free from his grasp.
"Exactly what are you doing here?" I crossed my arms.
"Just came to grab some equipment I needed."
"Now let's go." Jace said. Simon grabbed my hand and said, "Come on Clary, we better listen to him and leave." We finally reached outside and the sky looked amazing it was orangey-pink. The sun will start to go down soon, the sunset isn't for another 1hr or 2. "Wow, It must be getting late." I said.
I feel Jace standing behind me almost whispering in my ear and says, "Of course it's even more amazing at sunset around 7:30pm the sky looks like its on fire especially at Coney Island. You should really see it." He pauses his voice low and casual. He might be telling me something important.
"Tonight it will probably be amazing."
I can hear my brain clicking; he's given me a time and place. "Are you asking me to- ?" I start to ask but Simon had to drag me away and say "Let's go, I'm starving."
"But-I-fine, I'm hungry too." I look over my shoulder, maybe he'll give me a sign that he was asking me out, but he had already gone.
That evening I couldn't concentrate all I could think about was if Jace wanted to meet me at Coney Island. Luke asked me for coffee and Instead gave him tea. "Umm…this is tea." Luke said. "Ohh right, my bad." Around 7:30pm the sky looks like it's on fire especially at Coney Island. You should really see it…
I went upstairs to my room and grabbed my Binoculars; Jace wasn't in his room only his brother. 'Should I go? Hmm…I know a coin toss, it's better to leave it to fate. Heads I go and Tails I don't go.' I look for a quarter in my Jeans; 'Okay here goes nothing.' I flip the quarter and it lands on the floor, it's rolling down the stairs. 'Uggh.' Finally I caught it and the coin decided that's its…Heads. I look at my watch it's 6:45pm; I call a cab the driver says "Be there in 10mins."
"Okay thank-you."
I grab my make-up bag, which I got from M.A.C they were promoting Wonder Women. I love her; I clean my face and re-do my make-up. I use plumy shade of purple as a crease colour for a smokey eye look. It could it also be used with golds, or any neutral colours as a base; Since the purple has a red base it will make the green in my eyes really stand out, and won't clash with my red hair. A spritz of Nina Ricci perfume (the one shaped like an apple.) I hear the taxi cab honk; I grab my cell and tell my Mom. "Hey Mom, I'm gonna go out,"
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"To Coney Island Ok, with a new friend of mine."
"Okay but don't be late, be home by 10pm."
"Thanks Mom."
In the cab on the way to Coney Island
I look at my watch it's 7:25. "Okay Miss, were here and the Beach is straight ahead."
"Thank-you." I give him $10 and leave. The Beach at this time of day is pretty empty. I scan the beach but I don't see anyone, its 7:30pm maybe it was just in my head, 'Did I really think he was asking me out? Maybe I'll wait 10mins, and if he doesn't show up, then I know I was delusional.'
10mins Later.
The sun was beginning to go down, Jace was right the sky did look like it was on fire. I stand up to leave he isn't showing up. "Waiting for me Clary" I gasped and turn around to see his beautiful face. He was wearing a black shirt and jacket, with black jeans and he had some kind of weapon hidden under his jacket.
"Jace, Hey you're here." I said still a bit a loss for words.
"In the flesh, come on I brought a blanket and some turkey sandwiches." We sit down and watch the rest of the sunset go down. "You were right about the sky, it looks so beautiful at this time."
"Not as beautiful as you." I blush and look away from his hypnotizing eyes and eat the rest of my sandwich.
"So the other 2 boys and the girl are your brothers and sister?"
"They sure are but I'm adopted." That's why he has blonde hair and they don't.
"Alec is the oldest one, my brother. My sister Isabelle and Max the youngest one."
"Oh that's cool I don't have any siblings." I said.
"So what exactly were you doing in the church?" I asked.
"How did you see the elevator that leads to the bedrooms?" So he is the kind of guy that answers a question with a question.
"Well I didn't see it right away, it had kind of disfigured until I really concentrated, then we went up."
He pulls me to my feet and squeezes my hand once. "I'll race you." He grinned
"Only if you're ready to lose" I say.
"You think you can beat me?"
"I know I can." He points to the buoys and says "The first one to the buoys wins." 'Wait in the water.'
"You mean into the Ocean?" I say.
"You can't swim or Scared?" I turn to see his face and he smirks at me.
"No, I'm not scared and Yes I can swim."
"1,2,3, Go!" We're running and hes real fast, I am too but the Ocean water kind of drags you down with my clothes soaked; Jace Won.
"I won!" Jace said grinning. "You cheated." I know he didn't cheat, but didn't know what to say; I could stare into his eyes all day and just get lost in them.
"How did I cheat?" Jace asked incredulously. "I don't know, it looked like the water didn't even drag you down." We were out of the Ocean soaking wet. Well this might be awkward, when my Mom asks me why I'm soaking wet. Damn I didn't bring extra clothes. My breath hitched. Jace was staring intently into my eyes, he raised his hand to my cheek and caressed it gently with his thumb, then he looked down to my lips and leaned down…All of a sudden something came and attack us.
"Clary! Stay back it's a Forsaken."
"A what?" I see him bring out the dagger that he had under his jacket, and some other weapons. 'I think it's coming after me but why?' "Ahhh!"
"Clary!" Jace comes and stabs that thing in the back center and that thing screeches so loud I covered my ears, and it dissipates. "Jace," I sighed deeply "What happened? Oh, My God. I think I want to go home now. How did you kill that thing?"
"It was a Forsaken, I stabbed it through its main living core, Clary…I'm a Shadow Hunter."
Dun, dun, dun, dunnnn… hes a Shadow Hunter. She probably doesn't know what that is. Hehe. Well this is the longest chapter so far. I hoped you enjoyed it and my fingers are killing me because I'm typing this up for you guys! YAY!

Me: Only if they REVIEW.
