It probably wont follow the book this closely ever again. I just thought this was the best way to do this chapter. A lot of it is right out of the book with some differences and of course its in Charlotte's point of view.
I own nothing except Charlotte and Jason the rest belongs to Cassandra Clare
Chapter 2
The club is packed. Everywhere you look theres people dancing together and making out. I try to look around and see if I can spot any demons but all I can concentrate on is how close Jace is to me right now. What the hell is wrong with me? You don't like him like that I scold myself.
I'm wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a black long sleeve shirt that is cut out around my shoulders. I made sure it wasn't showing any of my runes. On my feet I wore my black high heel boots that only go above my ankles but I loved them. My brown hair is up in a high ponytail.
"Thats a demon I can feel it." Isabel points to a blue haired boy with spiky hair holding a stake. I guessed it was rubber because they wouldn't have let him in otherwise. Without waiting for a response she saunters off to work her powers of seduction.
"Lets get ready to help her." Says Jace.
I look around the room "Get Isabel to lead him into the storage closet over there." I point at the storage room door on the other side of the room.
Jace nods "Good idea." Then he gestures to Isabel she nods to let us know she understands.
Isabel lead the blue haired demon into the closet and me, Jace and Alec walked in after them.
Once inside Jace and Alec grab the demon and tie him to a concrete pillar. "Are there anymore with you?" Jace asked.
The demon played dumb "Any other what?"
"Come on now." Alec said. "You know what we are." He raises his hands and lets the sleeves drop revealing his runes.
"Shadowhunter." He hissed.
I stepped in front of him grinning "Got you."
Jace started to pace back and forth behind me "So you still haven't told me if there are anymore of your kind with you."
"I don't know what your talking about."
I snorted."Sure you don't."
Alec speaks next "He means other demons, you know what a demon is, don't you?"
"Demons," Jace drawled. "Religiously defined as hell's denizens, the servants of satan, but understood here, for the purposes of the clave, to be any malevolent spirit whose origin is outside our own dimension-"
I rolled my eyes this was getting boring "Thats enough Jace."
"Char's right," Alec agreed "Nobody here needs a lesson in semantics or demonology."
Jace smiles and turns toward the demon "They think I talk too much, do you think I talk too much?"
Instead of answering the question the blue haired demon said. "I could give you information, I know where Valentine is." I stiffen at the sound of the name.
I look back at Jace, who glances back at Alec, who shrugged. "Valentines in the ground," Jace said "The things just toying with us."
"Lets just kill it." I snarl.
Isabel tossed her hair. "Yeah its not going to tell us anything."
Jace raised his seraph blade.
The boy gasped "Valentine is back," He protested. "All the infernal worlds know it-I know it- I can tell you where he is-"
Rage flared within me "By the Angel, everytime we capture one of you bastards, you claim to know where Valentine is. Well we know where he is to, he's in hell. And you-" I raise my dagger prepared to sink it into his heart. "can join him there."
"Stop!" A voice cried "You can't do this."
Shocked I turn to the origin of the cry. I couldn't believe it, it was the redheaded girl that had ran into me on the street earlier today. So she did see me?
It was Alec who recovered first "What's this?"
Jace recovered his composure next "Its a girl, surely you've seen girls before, Alec. Isabel's one Charlotte's one." He took a step closer to the redhead, squinting as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"A mundie." I say half to myself "And she can see us."
"Of course I can see you, I'm not blind, you know."
"Oh, but you are, you just don't know it." I say.
Bending down to pick up his knife that he dropped when the mundie appeared Jace said. "You'd better get out of here, if you know what's good for you."
"I'm not going anywhere, if I do you'll kill him." She pointed to the demon.
"Thats true." Jace admitted, twirling the knife between his fingers. "What do you care if I kill him or not?"
"Be-because," She spluttered. "You can't just go around killing people."
"Your right," Jace said. "You can't go around killing people." He pointed to the demon. "But thats not a person, little girl. It may look like a person and talk like a person and maybe even bleed like a person. But it's a monster."
"Jace," Isabel said warningly. "Thats enough." I wasn't so sure I was enjoying watching her face.
"You're crazy," She said as she backed away from him. "I've called the police you know. They'll be here any second."
"She's lying." Said Alec.
At that moment the blue haired demon, with a high yowling cry, tore free of his restraints that binded him to the pillar and flung himself on Jace.
They fell to the ground and rolled together. The demon pinned Jace. He slashed with his claws. Jace threw up an arm to protect himself and the claws raked it, splattering blood. I threw my dagger and it landed exactly in the middle of his back. The demon shrieked and fell to the side.
Swift as a flick of Isabels whip, Jace rolled over. A blade gleaming in his hand. He sank the knife into its chest. Black blood exploded around the hilt. The boy arched off the floor, gurgling and twisting. With a grimace Jace stood up. His shirt was darker in some places, wet with blood. He looked down at the twitching form at his feet, reached down, and yanked out his knife and my dagger.
The demons eyes flickered open. "So be it," He hissed. "The forsaken will take you all."
Jace snarled. The demons eyes rolled back. His body began to jerk and twitch as he crumpled, folding in on himself, growing smaller and smaller until he vanished entirely. Back to his own dimension.
Jace turned to me my dagger in his hand extended toward me. "Thanks." He said.
I took it from him. "No problem." I turn when I hear the gasp of pain. Isabel has her whip wrapped around the mundies arm.
"Stupid little mundie," Isabel said between her teeth. "You could have gotten Jace killed."
"He's crazy." She said, trying to pull her wrist back. "You're all crazy. Who do you think you are vigilante killers? The police-"
"The police aren't usually interested unless you can produce a body." Said Jace. Cradling his arm he picked his way across the cable-strewn floor toward the girl.
She glanced at the spot where the demon had disappeared but said nothing.
"They return to their home dimensions when they die, in case you were wondering."
"Jace." Alec hissed "Be careful."
"She can see us Alec she already knows too much."
"So what do you want me to do with her?" Isabel demanded.
"Let her go." He said quietly.
"What!?" I turn to Jace but he either didn't hear or he choose to ignore me.
Isabel shot him a surprised glance but didn't argue and she released the girls arm. "Maybe we should bring her back with us?" Alec said.
"No! She's a mundie. No way!" I exclaim.
"I bet Hodge would want to talk to her." I give Alec one of my death glares and he backs down.
"What if she's not a mundie?" Jace asks.
"Your joking." Isabel scoffs then turns to Jace. "Right?"
I turn to the redhead. "What's your name?"
"Clary," She says "And I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't believe in demons."
"Clary?" The red head whirls around.
"Simon-" A teenage boy around are age came into the room followed by a bouncer.
"Where are those guy with the knives?"
"There right there can't you see them?" She pointed to us but I could tell by the look on simon's face that he couldn't see us. Isabel giggled. I smirked and gave her a little wave.
"Sorry, it was a mistake." And with one more glance back at us she followed her friend and the bouncer out of the room.
