AN
When I woke up I was not alone.
"Did you really think you could get away?" Jace murmured in my ear. I turned to
him and was about to start speaking when his lips crashed down on mine. I moaned
and he smiled against my lips. I pushed him off of me and got up. He tackled me
back down and held me down while I struggled hopelessly against him. I finally
gave up and let him win. He grinned and his lips came down softly on mine. I
pushed back against him and we switched places. I leaned away from our kiss and
he followed me. I sat in his lap and listened to him breath.
"I have to leave," I said, scrambling out of our embrace.
"Why?" he wined," can't you stay a little bit longer?"
"No," I said. "Now listen to me. You can't show that you care for me in public.
You have to pretend that I'm nothing more than a friend. You can't kiss me in
public. Okay?"
"Fine," he grumbled," but at home you're mine?"
"I'm yours," I promised. He grinned and leaped out of bed.
"A shower then?" he asked, his eyes twinkling mischievously.
"For me, not you." I pushed him out of the room and closed the door. I heard him
sigh and walk away. I grinned and went into my bathroom.
Jace went around acting as if nothing had happened to us. His acting skills were
phenomenal. He regarded me coolly even though his amber eyes were full of love.
When I had everything I needed done, he took me back home. Even though his arm
moved toward mine almost every minute, he kept his cool. But when we walked into
Magnus's house, he pushed me against the wall and kisses me fiercely. He
leaned back and said," I've been waiting to do that all day." he grinned and let
me go. I started to walk to Magnus's room when he took hold of my hand. I looked
at him curiously. What was he doing? He nodded.
"Please continue," he said. Well then. I continued going to my room when I
sensed something.
"Raziel," I hissed taking my hand out of Jace's and barging through the door.
There was Raziel, holding a knife to Magnus's throat. I took my knives out of my
sheathes.
"Clarrissa. It's been too long."
"Not long enough," I hissed. "Let Magnus go."
"Why? I believe you have a debt to pay and I'm here to collect it."
"And what favor might that be?"
"You are needed back where you came from," he said." I've become quit lonely
being a sole assassin. I need my partner back.
"No! I left that place for good. I won't do it. I work solo."
"Then I guess poor Magnus won't be able to live." he said making the knife
tighter on his throat.
"No, I think you won't be able to live," and before I even finished my sentence
I had already slit his throat. He fell to be ground, blood pouring from us
throat. I ran to Magnus," are you okay?"
"Fine," he coughed back at me. I sighed.
"An assassin? You were an assassin?"
Uh oh. Jace. I turned around.
"I still am an assassin. I just work without a partner."
He stood there still in shock." I don't kill people for fun jace. I kill them
because they work with demons. They're too dangerous. That's part of the reason
I came back here. I need to find the person who mixing in with my demons."
"Your demons?"
Oh no. There it goes. My cover blown. "The demons are the reason I'm here. I was 20 when I started working for the assassination network.
I was their top assassin. I...worked well in the association. But people became
jealous of me. When we went on an assassinated mission to find a greater demon, I was the one assassinated. I died when I was 21. I didn't exactly go to heaven. The demons were pleased with my work. They brought me back as a fallen angel. I hurt a lot of people. I had Magnus help me become who I am today. The Clave became obsessed with me and you know the rest of that story." He stared at
me. I finally couldn't stand it and more and raced out of the room. I heard
Jace call me but I kept running to my room. My wings came out and I jumped from
my balcony. Well almost jumped. Someone grabbed me and pulled me in. "What do
you think you're doing?" Magnus said.
"I'm leaving Magnus. I came for you, you didn't need my help, and I'm done here.
Plain and simple."
"You're just leaving because of Jace. Give him a chance. You won't endanger him
any more than he is already in. He loves you more than life. I've read his mind.
Whenever he sees you he sees a person he never wants to leave. You are his life.
Give him that. He's been alone forever. Please." I sighed and let my wings get
back in there place on my back.
"Okay, Magnus."
"Don't act like that. I know you love him too." I sighed and walked out the
door. I went to jaces room. I opened the door a crack to see jace asleep on the
bed. I crept over to the bed and laid down beside him. I curled into him and his
arms covered me.
"Please," he breathed." don't ever leave me. I don't care what you are. You r
mine, Clarrissa. You are mine." I didn't answer but I turned to face him. He swept
me in a kiss, so longing that I gave in to him. He pulled at my waist wanting
everything off. I slowly gave him what he wanted. He sighed with anticipation.
I awoke when jace started to mumbled in my ear." Don't look now. But we have
company" I opened one eye to see Magnus and Alec watching us in wonder. I
groaned. "If you're going to watch someone, Magnus, I suggest it's not me. Cause
I'll kick your ass." Alec looked like he was going to say something but Magnus
cut him off.
"It's my house, Max, and I'll do want I want in it."
"Well is that so? I said," if you do what you want why don't u take Alec to your
room and do what you want? Hmmm?" I smirked at them. Alec turned a shade of red
that was so dark I didn't know it existed." well, I, I I," Magnus sputtered.
"Get out of the room Magnus. Before I do what I want with both of you. And that
will end up a bloody mess." They scramble out of the room and slammed the door
shut.
"Clary?" Jace asked," I will have to use that in the future."
"Just don't use maximum. I hate my full name."
"I think it is perfect," he murmured, kissing me down and up my neck," just like
you."
"I am far from perfect. I am the worst person to walk this earth to fall in love with."
"Too late," he said in between kisses," I already fell, hard."
"Figures," I muttered and he laughed. I rolled out of bed and away from his kisses. He protested.
"Where you going? We have like 10 more minutes till Magnus comes and gets us for breakfast."
"No. I have a few errands to run. Won't be going to breakfast." And with that I left his room.
