Clary woke up the next day went to visit izzy but found her asleep. So instead she visited a music room where Hodge told her she would be alone. She started playing the piano, Never Stop by Safety Suit. She finished the song and heard clapping and a whistle from across the room. Wes was there and did a leap onto the piano. "Play it again. I love this song." Wes had an amazing voice. She played he sang. After the song ended he asked, "do you want to talk about it?"

"No besides you would not get it."

"Oh Clary you think I don't know heartache. I do. I just don't show it." Wes said sadly.

"I know you have but I am a girl. Guys think differently. And to be honest maybe it was an overreaction. "

"If you are talking about you in the hallway last night with Jace you have a right to be upset."

"How...what?" Clary said her face red. Wes laughed, "I saw enough."

"I guess I made a fool of myself huh?" Clary asked.

"No you looked like you were finally ready to take a chance. Hell I've been telling you to let some guy in for awhile. This life we lead is dangerous. It could end at any moment. You just can't stand by and take the bad without the good. That guy though after you left he looked tormented he was trying to find you last night. I just think guys think physical then with emotion."

"Maybe you are right maybe I need to date around." At Wes face of horror. Clary added, "not sleep around, just date. Find someone to have a fling with or whatever you boys call it."

"Okay just make sure that Tom doesn't find out that it was me you talked with on this, okay? Hey lets go train we hunt tonight you know."

They left the room. Jace was in his hideout where he heard everything said.

Clary had an excellent time training with Wes. She was able to beat him at knives and blades. She loved it.

She came into her room tossing her stele down on her bed. She pulled her shirt off and her pants. She was not tidy so her clothes were all over the room. She went to the dresser pulled the rudder band out of her hair and went to the shower. After her shower she put on pajamas and a silky robe. She went to her bed and sat down.

"I heard you earlier with your brother," Clary heard from across the room. On the dresser sat Jace.

"Get out Jace. I am ..Just get out!" Clary said pulling her robe tighter around herself.

"Is that what you really want?" Jace asked at her. "Maybe not but it is better than you staying!" Clary shot back.

"Why so you can go find some guy to screw. To try to not think about me while your with him." Jace got off the dresser.

"Why not? It is better than being here waiting and pining for you. You will break my heart and walk away. I can't handle that."

"Too late." Jace said. He threw her up against the wall and followed her until their bodies pressed into each others.

"I can't stop thinking about you, ever since the first night I lay in bed at night and think of you."

"You could have fooled me. I thought I was a toy you thought was a mistake." Clary said holding onto her robe for dear life.

"You make me feel things I don't allow myself to feel usually. I want you but for more than this. Just talking to you puts a smile on my face."

"Enough talk, kiss me!" Clary said rubbing her lips against his. He kissed her gentally but as the kiss deepened so did the ergency. She pulled his gray button up shirt opened and sent the buttons across the floor. He in turn pulled open her robe and kissed her neck. Clary was lost as to when he had backed up a little. She wanted him there on her, their bodies touching. She pulled him close to her by his belt loops and wrapped her arms around him caressing his back. They both groaned due to the contact. He walked with her to the bed and laid on top of her. She pulled off her robe in one swift motion and pulled his shirt off of him.. He kissed and explored her body. He came back up and kissed her and then rolled off of her.

"Clary? Are you a virgin by chance?" Jace asked propping himself up to look at her.

Clary turned all kinds a shades of red.

"Yes." She said in a whisper. "Is that bad? I mean does that change how you feel?" Clary asked evenly.

"No it changes nothing. Does it matter to you that I am not?" Jace was holding his breath until Clary shook her head.

"So why stop?" Clary asked rolling on her side towards him.

"Because this is moving way to fast. And I don't want to rush things." He said giving her a little kiss.

"But we are not even right now. You have seen me in my PJ's." She said it playfully not expecting him to do anything.

Jace got off the bed removed his boots and stood to take his pants off."if you expect a little dance with this I am sorry to disappoint you." Clary could only stare. He stepped out of his clothes and looked at her.

"What?" Jace said.

"You are so beautiful." Clary said licking her lips.

"Okay enough or I will get dressed."

"You tired?" Jace asked, laying down on the bed facing each other.

"A little bit but I dont want you to leave." Clary said putting an arm around him not wanting him to leave and end this moment.

"I'll stay and sleep as well." Jace offered covering them both. Clary rolled over and spooned with him. He cuddled into her, wrapping an arm around her.

"Thank you for staying Jace." Clary said yawning.

"Welcome my pixie." Jace said wrapping his arm more protectively around her.

"Pixie?" Clary asked.

"I was trying it out?" Jace said.

Clary woke up alone around 8pm. Jace wasn't in the room. She went down to eat and ask for hunting specifics. She ran into Hodge and asked him about Izzy. He said she was up and they (as in Jace and Alec) had left aleady to hunt for the night. Hodge followed her to the kitchen , where her brothers were last seen.

Tom and Wes were ready to go.

"Okay so whats the job tonight?" Clary asked.

"The old baitim' at some club downtown. Guess there have been some reports of possible activity. So get on your best hoochie mama dress." Tom said with a laugh.

Clary nodded and knew exactly what she was going to wear. She had a little LBD on hand.

Upstairs she put on her dress, made her hair into a foohaw. Sprayed it with hair spray. Put a few runes on and she was ready to go.

She put on a lightweight red jacket and her whip wrapped down her leg. She hide her stele in her jacket and a couple of things that looked like folded up paper fans.

When she went downstairs they headed out. Hodge had called them a cab and so they made it to the club in half an hour. The bouncer let them in and they split up. Tom watched both Clary and Wes. Wes went to the bar to mingle, and Clary went to the dance floor. After about and hour Clary went to the bar to get some water. Still no activity until she saw a girl get yanked throw a door down a hallway. She signaled the boys and they followed.

Marching throw the door the demon had killed the girl already taking on it's normal form of something like a flower or fat man about eight feet tall with numerous arms. "DEMON!" Tom yelled out.

Clary took the middle stance and everything was going well. They looked to be beating this demon. Until it pulled Wes off his feet and started to try to eat him. Clary yelled out "NAKIR!" Her boots all of a sudden had blades out the bottom of them. She climbed up the demon. He was about to drop Wes into its razor sharp toothed mouth. Clary pulled out her fans, opened them. "Five blades!" The fans became five knives.

"No!" Tom yelled out but Clary had already spun around, cut Wes free and disappeared into the demons' mouth. Tom took a blade to the demons belly opening him up. An almost unconscious Clary came out on a pool of demon blood. Clary was barely holding on. She said, "love you." After that Clary went lifeless. Tom was yelling at her and Wes was laying close by not moving either.

Clary woke up in an infirmary. Her mother asleep in a chair by her, Luke on the otherside snoring with his head hanging back. Clary felt sore and in need to use the bathroom.

"Baby?" Jocelyn said coming awake. Jocelyn pushed her arms around Clary and was crying and laughing all at once.

"Um mom your squeezing the life out of me."

"Sorry. Luke! Luke she's awake."

Luke came awake he hugged Clary. He had tears in his eyes.

"I need to use the bathroom."

Her mom had to help her. Clary also wanted to wash her face, and rinse out her mouth.

Back in bed she drank so water.

"Wes is okay?"

"He's fine, has been for days. He has been by your side. They all have here, we have all taken turns.

"How long have I been out?"

"A week. Tom got you and Wes back. Magnus Bane was here visiting. And lucky for us did an amazing job saving you and Wes. Tom called us and we came as soon as we could."

"Sorry." Clary mumbled.

"Sleep baby. You need some rest."

Clary was out before she finished the sentence.

Clary woke up again with her brothers surrounding her.

"Hey there Wes, hey there Tom." They both took a hand each. "Clary you ever do anything like that and I will... well I will do something to you. You scared the hell out of us.

"Sorry Wes. I just reacted. Could not loose you."

They all talked for awhile and Clary was given a light dinner. After that she was allowed to take a shower and was put back in bed.

Clary woke up in the middle of the night with Jace standing over her. "Jace," she put her hand up to him. He came to her. He looked like he was not eatting or sleeping well. He hugged her and kissed her again and again.

"I missed you Clary."

"I dreamed of you Jace. Of us doing all sorts of things together. Please don't leave me. I need you. "

"Never leaving you.." Jace said and pulled the next bunk to Clary's bunk. He laid down resting her head on his arm she cuddled into him and they slept the rest of the night like that.
