Jace sighed as he sat in the back of the wan tied up and gagged. The hole getting kidnapped from home and being sold to bounty hunters was getting old. As usual they opened the back of the car making him squint into the light. Same drill. into a cell and left alone until they went to work.
Jace had never actually been caught and he owed it to luck, He had always managed to run away before he was handed over, but there was no luck today. So there he sat waiting unfortunately there was no windows in his cell and no windows but they had left a light but there was no way of telling time in there. So for all he knew it could have been a few hours or a few days time passed in a different way when your surroundings remained the same.
Jece struggled to get loose of the ties but cable ties were was a new one for him he needed something sharp. The guards had been checking in on him every now and then, but as he heard them coming closer to the door he also heard something hitting the ground hard. Jace strained his ears listening close. The door opened and jace dreaded what was going to happen but instead of the big bulky guard he was used to a tiny hooded figure walked in. The door closed and the figure looked around jace sighed "I'm over here" the figure walked over to him and as they removed their hood jace was surprised to see a girl. She smiled and asked "So by any chance are you jace?" jace nodded and asked "and you are?" she smiled "I'm here to let you out" jace had at least 10 comebacks about a little girl rescuing him. but he hadn't slept since he arrived so he let it slide.
The girl cut open his ties and helped him up he didn't have a lot of energy so she did most of the work. She set him down against a wall and asked "can you run?" jace nodded and got up and the girl said "just follow me and if something happens i need to to run anywhere but back here, can you do that?" jace nodded and they were off.
Jace didn't remember much just gunshots and the girl pulling him along. He remembered getting into a car but more then that was beyond him. So when he opened his eyes and saw himself tucked in under the covers he was confused to say the least. He sat up and looked around the room. A window of a park and a desk with a laptop.
The door opened and the girl walked in and asked "you feeling better?" Jace nodded and asked "mind telling me where I am?" She shrugged "Does it matter?" jace sighed and asked "So where are you taking me since your boss seems to be loose on the confinement" The girl smirked "My boss doesn't care for your confinement because he just wanted me to get you before the bounty hunters got to sell you" Jace frowned as he realised this girl wasn't just going to hand him off. "You do have a nice price on your head and if i was the one to hand you in I wouldn't have to work a day in my life but you haven't done anything bad and i happen to have a nice idea of what they will do to you, if they ever get you" jace nodded and asked "So how did you find me?" Clary shrugged "you're missing and you've been getting kidnapped a lot but you've gotten away so i didn't want to get involved when a week passed and you were still there I figured i'd better get you" jace got to his feet and asked "you knew i was in there for a week?, and didn't help?" clary nodded and jace ran a hand thru his hair and said "you let me be tied up for a week?" clary shrugged "I knew it was you i also knew that they made sure you were alive so chill it could have been worse" Jace sighed and clary said "I'll get you home tomorrow call if you need anything i'll be right outside" jace nodded and laid down and said "Do i at least get a name?" clary shook her head and said "no and it's better that way"
The door opened and jace was still asleep and so she stopped and looked at him just like she had when she dragged him from the car into that bed. She stopped day dreaming and crouched down by him and shook his shoulder waking him up and said "ready to go?" jace nodded and got up. They walked back to the car and clary asked "where are we going then?"
jace shrugged "Home?" clary sighed and gave him a 'duh' look and jace said "oh I'll tell you where to turn" Clary shifted gears and they were off and as jace told her the adress and she stopped outside he said "I guess this is goodbye" Clary smiled "Let's hope so" jace nodded and said "thank you for getting me, I'll try to spare you the extra work next time" clary nodded and said "no problem watch your back and i'll keep my eyes open if you need me again" jace walked in informed his parents he was safe and when he pointed to the redhead on the drive his father swallowed and walked away.
...
Clary sat in the office chair and waited for something good to happen. it didn't need to be dangerous or thrilling it just needed to require movement and as she looked at the screen and saw to men haul a person in tie him to a chair and gag him she frowned. It wasn't until they pulled the bag off his head clary saw who it was. The guards left and clary clicked on the speakers and spoke "I vaguely remember telling you to watch your back?" jace looked around the room and clary said "I mean, jace come on it's been 2 weeks not even 3" jace looked around his words to making it thru the cloth that covered his mouth.
Clary sighed and pulled her hoods up walking down to his room and untied his and said "I said to watch your back" jace replied with sarcastic remarks but clary wasn't listening and said "you have to get out on your own they will know it was me if they see you, so just walk calmly" jace nodded and asked "are you staying?" Clary nodded "I can't leave here not after i got you out, so please just leave" So jace turned his back and walked away and clary walked back to the office where he stood waiting for her and asked "you know people are desperate to get him and you let him go" clary sighed "It's not right! get his dad not him" he frowned "you getting some feelings for him? am i not good anymore" clary walked around the desk and sat down his lap and said "who could ever be better than you?" "apparently him" he growled out
Jace walked into his house to see his father and mother and mrs lightwood and asked "What happened?" his mother sighed "Besides you getting kidnapped again?" jace shrugged and said "I'm here now it hasn't even been a day" Mrs. lightwood walked over and asked "did someone let you out?" jace nodded and said "yeah the girl who got me last time" his father sighed and said "we need to get her out of there?" jace frowned ""why? she didn't want to leave" his mother shook her head "She can't leave, he wont let her" jace frowned but as he kept on asking he got no answers.
So trying to escape in the middle of the night was a good idea pitch black no one could see you but it was expected to clary opted for mid day and surprisingly it worked. She just walked to her car and drove off calmly and it wasn't until 5 minutes after stopping at the side of the rode where she was hidden that 5 cars raced past her. Clary felt her mouth pull into a grin. And her bright idea was to go to her apartment but she drove past and saw him already parked outside so she opted for a club and walked right into magnus office and said "Magnus I need a place to hide" magnus smirked "don't we all, but you're welcome to stay here" clary nodded and sat down and asked "who's the guy" magnus stopped mid step and without turning his head he asked "what guy?" clary smirked "the one with black hair and blue eyes" magnus shrugged and said "no clue" clary nodded and watched him walk away and when he was gone she thought 'I just waited for him to leave your office for 30 minutes'
Jace was surprised by the fact that a month had past and he was still safe at home. His parents were pleased and so they were happier than ever ,but jace. no .he was pissed he wanted to know who she was, how his parents knew who she was. So yet again he drove to school and got his things and sat down in his first class but what shocked him was The redhead that walked thru the door.
Clary smiled as she walked thru the halls and collected her schedule and magnus pointed her in the right way that was after he told her to behave. She was wearing glasses that she didn't need. skinny jeans boots and a shirt with rolled up sleeves she looked casual especially with her hair tied up. She noticed the stares but kept going she was determined to make this work.
she walked into the classroom and sat down in the free seat at the front. She had always laughed when people said that they could feel people's eyes burn but at this moment she could. The teacher walked in and she handed him her note and was pleased when she didn't need to present herself. As the lesson ended she walked out noticing jace behind her but thought she better not tease him so she just walked along.
As lunch came up she walked past the cafeteria and right outside and sat down on a bench plugged in her headphones and closed her eyes. She was knocked out of her bubble as someone tapped her shoulder. She opened her eyes to see a tall girl with long black hair. She pulled her headphones out and said "sorry, did you say something?" the girl smiled and sat down and said "no i didn't but I was wondering if you would join me and my friends at lunch?" Clary smiled and said "That's really nice but I get the feeling i should say no, im not much of a people person, you seem nice but I'm not a crowd pleaser" She shook her head "So I asked because i thought it would be nice, and you seem nice so... please you can leave at anytime" Clary sighed and nodded and held her hand out and said "I'm clary" she smiled took her hand firmly and said "Isabelle but call me izzy"
They walked in and sat down at a round table and clary asked "why is no one here?" Izzy smiled "well everyone takes at least 10 minutes between going to their lockers and then there was a fight so it gathered a crowd they'll be here soon" clary nodded and as promised people swarmed in. Magnus sat down by izzy and said "I see you met izzy?" clary nodded and izzy frowned but more people sat down and asked "Who are you?" Clary smiled shyly and said "I'm clary" the chair beside her was pulled back and down sat jace and asked "so that's your name?" clary frowned and asked "excuse me?" jace scoffed and clary raised her eyebrows and turned back to her food and stayed silent.
At the end of the day she walked out of the building and started walking until jace caught up with her and asked "What are you doing here?" clay frowned "going to school?" jace narrowed his eyes and clary smirked and said "don't worry no one will come after you for a while they have a new target" jace frowned and crossed his arms over his chest and asked "who?" clary smiled "don't worry that pretty head of yours" she side stepped his with resulted in him falling. She faked a gasp and knelt down to help him up and asked "Om my god are you okay?" He gritted his teeth shoved her away and got up.
Clary smirked and walked over to magnus who smirked at her and asked "you had to?" clary shrugged "don't know what you mean?" she got in the car and they drove off.
Clary walked into school two weeks later with no stares and the only person caring appeared to be jace. Clary sat thru the lessons and as they came to Pe she laid low knowing too much here was where she could screw it all up. The teacher lined them up and said "I have paired you all up with people who are on different level so that you can both learn so listen up" Clary sighed as she heard the names "Simon and jordan, Isabelle and alec, Clary and jace" clary lost the count after that and walked over to jace and smiled sweetly and asked "you'll go easy on me right" jace grinned and leaned down to her ear and whispered "not a chance"
After walking away and getting into their stances jace charged at her and she let him pin her to the ground and he smiled and said "got you" clary frowned "I can still get you, my knee is under a sensitive area i believe, my hands could slip free and im small enough to flip this around" jace scoffed an clary kneaded him and flipped them over and climbed off him as he laid on the ground biting his lip. Jace got up and shook his head and asked "why are you even here" clary smiled and replied "attendance" he pulled off a fake smile and said "you know what i mean" clary smiled and said "ask your dad" jace sighed and lunged for her again and clary stepped to the side but he still got her legs and just like that she was hung over his shoulder. Clary groaned then laughed and then she stopped and said "jace but me down" jace scoffed and spun her around clary grabbed on and said "no please let me down" her voice so soft he got confused and led her on her feet making sure she was okay. He frowned as he saw her eyes wide with panic. He was about to ask but clary walked away right out of the gym then right out of school.
Clary Sat by the bar as magnus mixed drinks and handed them out. Someone came up behind her and sliding their hand around her body and whispered "wrong crowd?" She smiled and turned to look at jace who looked absolutely smashed. "Are we drunk?" jace nodded and clary grabbed his hand and said "come with me" he frowned and asked "are you dragging me home?" clary shook her head and dragged him up the stairs and into her room and said "sleep it off" jace groaned "Why?" clary scoffed "because you are such a perv when you get drunk" jace opened his arms and said "cuddle?" clary shook her head as she laid down beside him and said "you're ridiculous" jace nodded and closed his eyes and mumbled out "I'm ridiculous?" clary smiled and tucked him in.
Clary smiled as jace stirred and groaned he sat up and looked around confused until they settled on her and he dropped his jaw as she smirked. Jace shook his head and said "I don't remember anything?" clary smiled "you hit on me by the bar,I dragged you away you asked if i was taking you home i said no I brought you here told you to sleep because you were being a perv and then you wanted to cuddle" jace rubbed his face and said "Im so sorry I didn't mean to be around you I was mad... so i drank" clary nodded "you have a bad habit it's okay" he nodded and clary walked over and asked "you feeling okay?" jace nodded and said "yeah"
They stayed in there for the meantime of the morning but then jace had to go home so clary showed him out. Jace got on his bike and clary asked "does your friends know you get kidnapped?" jace shook his head and clary sighed "do they know anything?" jace shook his head and clary nodded and said "Why?" jace shrugged and said "they shouldn't have to worry?" clary nodded "like you worry?" jace nodded and clary smiled "Take care?" he nodded and drove off.
Magnus had been going crazy for the past week saying it would never take him this long to find her. Clary wasn't worried she walked into school at a normal time she was settled now she had even grown closer to jace. As lunch came around they stood outside jace and clary side by side looking at a picture of jace when she herd "Babe" she would have known that voice anywhere? She looked up as he came up to her and hugged her away from jace and up into his arms. She wrapped her legs around him and held on to his shoulders and said "you found me?" seb nodded and kissed her roughly but she knew what would happen if she didn't respond. She pulled back and jumped down and said "let me say goodbye you don't want a scene" he nodded and she walked back to izzy her brother and jace and said "I have to go, tell magnus i won't be coming back" izzy frowned "you have a boyfriend?" clary swallowed and turned to jace and whispered "I can't help you anymore, He was busy finding me but now he's seen you" jace nodded and gave her a hug a hug she was pulled out of by the one and only. Jace frowned "dude she was saying bye, we're her friends" he smiled and izzy crossed her arms over her chest and asked "who are you even?" he smiled "I'm sebastian, clary hasn't said anything" clary stepped between them and said "leave it okay, I coming the easy way so just please stop" sebastian nodded and said "we have things to do" Clary looked over her shoulder as they walked and mouthed 'bye'
Jace ripped open his front door and yelled 'mom? dad?' his mom came out from the kitchen and frowned and he said "She's gone, some guy came and took her away" his mother pulled out a phone and said "well fix this"
Clary stayed in bed and shivered not because she was cold not because she was sick, but because of the arms around her waist. Sebastian pulled her closer and asked "why are you shivering?" Clary stared out the window and said "because you're holding me" He let go of her and asked "get up" clary sat up and wrapped the sheets around her body.
After leaving they went straight to a compound sebastian led her to a room and said "I want you to go in there and beat them" clary looked into his eyes and he gave her a sly smile and opened the door. Clary walked into the dark room and walked closer until the lights turned on and in the middle of the room sat jace as well as Izzy and alec Clary walked closer into the light and izzy looked up and asked "Clary?" she seemed relieved at the sight of her friend. Jace looked up and asked "it's not like last time is it?" clary shook her head and jace sighed.
Clary walked closer and sat down in front of them and said "he wants me to beat you, right here, right now" izzy shook her head and said "why we won't be of any use to him bleeding" Clary shook his head "no he wants me to hurt you because it will hurt me" she frowned and asked "I don't understand" clary smiled "good" clary gave her a hug moved on to alec and whispered in his ear "take care of magnus for me?" alec blushed and nodded and clary moved on to jace and very slowly reached behind him and started on the rope but looking into his eyes the entire time.
Jace leaned his forehead against hers and said "I'm sorry this happened" clary smiled and touched their lips together for a second and said "I'm not, this way you know how i feel no matter what he does to me, please stop looking" jace nodded and kissed her again. The speakers boomed to life "Clary watch it, I can make you hurt, you know i can" clary pulled back and stood up and shouted "oh really how by hitting me, im pretty numb, by killing my family, hey you already did" the door opened and in walked sebastian in all his glory. He walked over to clary and put his arm around her waist and said "i could kill you" clary smiled "could you?, I dare you to try" his eyes darkened as he slapped her.
Clary didn't even stumble as her face was slapped. She turned back to sebastian and asked "best you got?" he smiled and ripped her shirt open with a knife and said "I think we're going to add some pattern" Clary stepped back and said "Why are you bored, am I all used up and disgusting, do you need to find a new person to rape and fuck whenever it fits you, do you need someone new to hit and cut, do you need someone to do your dirty work?" sebastian pushed her to the floor pinning her in place and all she did was laugh and said "satisfied" he growled and started kissing her. clary stayed numb didn't respond with is when sebastian pulled back and said "you know what you're right, you're all used up you probably sleep with half of the guys you see, you don't hesitate to step up when i want some" clary smiled "because i don't want any consequences" There was a gunshot and then the door bashed open. Clary turned her head to see jace and alec behind a group of people with guns. Sebastian got up and asked "What's this supposed to mean" Mr herondale stepped out and said "We came to put you behind bars" Sebastian smiled "Bars won't hold me" clary scrambled away and sebastian held his hand out and gave her a look. she stood by his side and slapped his hand away and said "You're not the first one to try and get him" they seemed confused at her change of attitude and asked "What side are you on?" clary sighed "depends on the time of day" Sebastian gave her a look and clary rolled her eyes and asked "A bargain? you get something and he does something?" sebastian nodded and smiled "We want you to come with us?" Clary frowned and asked "what use would i be to you?" sebastian shifted and mr herondale smiled "none but it will make his skin crawl, you miss are his little pet and he will be troubled if you are not around?" Clary shrugged and said "He'd find someone else I'm no idiot he has tried to kill me multiple times going won't give him any reason to go along with what you say" sebastian nodded and clary sighed "but hey if that's what you want" Sebastian grabbed her shoulder and asked "What's in it for me?" they shrugged "we don't kill you?" clary turned around and asked "that's it? you'd give me up to save your own skin?" he shrugged "so would you?" clary shook her head and said "I am here by force I've tried to leave multiple times none of my escapes involved killing you?" Sebastian waved her off and said "clary come on don't be a drama queen"
Clary laughed and turned her back and walked a few steps away and said "you haven't seen drama queen yet" sebastian raised an eyebrow and said "okay let the show begin" Clary smirked and walked over to mr. herondale and grabbed his gun and knife and said "I'm taking these please enjoy the show" his eyes almost popped and she twirled the knife between her fingers. Clary turned around and sebastian smiled "you can't aim you can't even fire a gun" clary smiled "but i have motivation now" clary smiled and threw the knife at sebastian who caught it right in front of his throat his hand getting cut in the process. he scowled and clary looked over the gun for a moment and thought aloud "So it's , safety first" she clicked it off "aim" pointed the gun at sebastian "and watch out for the kick back" she pointed the gun at the roof and shot three times and sebastian walked forward and said "you bitch you faked it?" clary smiled "I fake a lot of things" with that said the haded mr. herondale his gun with a playful smile and said "bye bye seb, have fun fucking yourself" and walked out.
Clary had taken her own car and drove to jace's house with them all hot on her tail. She stayed in the car her hands shaking and her breath uneven. Mr. herondale sat down in her passenger seat and asked "you haven't fired a gun before have you?" clary shook her head and said "I didn't want to hurt anyone" he nodded and said "well you can stay here if you want to, I'd also like to thank you for saving my son and apologize for whatever you punishment was" clary nodded and said "He's very passionate your son, quite the guy" mr. herondale nodded "he get's it from his mother in over his head and goes in all or nothing" Clary smiled and sighed "you know he will come for me right, deal or no deal he won't let me go free like this" he nodded and said "for now let's get you cleaned up" clary nodded and got out of the car.
Jace attacked clary in a hug as soon as she walked in the door and said "i missed you so much" clary chuckled and said "me too" he set her down and asked " do you have a shirt or something that isn't ripped down the middle" jace smiled and walked up the stairs and asked mr herondale "I know it's silly and stupid but do you know if my dad is still alive?" mr herondale smiled sadly "he was killed a few years back" clary smiled and nodded "i had to ask" he nodded just as jace came back with a t shirt for clary you pulled it over her head and said "what now" jace smiled and said "now we eat, im hungry" Clary scoffed "aren't you always hungry" he smiled and walked away.
Clary sat in the bathtub her knees drawn up to her chest with tears rolling down her face. There was a knock on the door and clary said "I'm in the bath" the door opened and jace walked in and sat down on the floor beside her and he had never been so thank full of bubbles before said "I can hear you crying thru the wall" clary smiled and said "sorry i'll keep it down next time" jace smiled and wiped her tears away and said "I'd rather you didn't cry" clary smiled and said "that's nice" jace nodded and said "do you need to talk?" clary shook her head and said "i just need to relax" jace nodded and asked "you want me to stay?" clary nodded and said "how's izzy and alec?" jace smiled "Izzy is horrified because she found out what he did to you, alec felt bad but didn't say a lot. they were both happy you made it out" clary nodded and turned her head and asked "are you happy? that i made it out" jace smiled and leaned in closer and said "very" clary smiled and gave him a kiss and said "I'm quite happy too" jace smiled and said "I'll wait outside" clary smiled "I won't keep you waiting for long" he winked as he left and clary took a deep breath and smiled a genuine happy smile as she felt her stomach bubble with joy.
