"Be prepared to lose Clary."
"If that's the way you're thinking than be prepared to be disappointed," I chuckled, but quickly erased any expression off my face. Jace was my competitor, and I knew I could beat him. I distantly registered Alec, Magnus, and Izzy sitting at the edge of the room but they weren't my target, so I paid little attention to them.
"Hand-to-hand combat, knives, daggers, what do you want sweetheart," Jace drawled out with a smirk.
"Whatever you're best at," I replied shortly, when I was in the zone for fighting I didn't like much talking. Plus I was good at everything that involved fighting, father made sure of that.
Something quickly passed through his eyes, was it irritation. "Daggers it is my lady." He tossed a dagger in my direction and my hand reflexively jerked out to catch it. He whistled and muttered under his breath so quietly I almost couldn't hear him "Nice catch."
I had an advantage over Jace weapon or no weapon which is why when we started to circle each other I swiftly threw it spinning into the wall behind him. He didn't take his eyes off me but I could see confusion cloud his eyes. Father would have never let me practice fighting with me having an advantage.
"You have to be better than the best when they are at their best Clarissa."
Jace didn't understand this, he didn't understand me and how I was brought up. Anger and rage filled me to the core, I didn't know why, maybe it was because of the way I wished I had a semi-normal childhood, maybe it was my resentment the built up throughout the years, or maybe it was just because in this very moment I realized why I hated myself so much.
Jace lunged forward with the dagger extended in his left hand, I grabbed it twisted it, and flipped him on the flour. He struggled against my grip and managed to get his left arm free and in a clumsy motion slashed my leg. Jace's eyes went wide and in shock that he actually cut me. I paid no attention to this though it wasn't the first wound I got, I wasn't a baby and I sure as hell didn't need to be coddled.
I yanked him up from the ground by his shoulder and his shirt, kneed him. Leaning back and driving my knee up to put my full force into my thigh, I do a spinning side kick. To say he went flying would have been an understatement. He landed with a thud on the wall just next to my dagger. I swiftly crossed the room with the grace of a lion, yanked him up again with my left hand and my right reached out for the dagger pulled it out of the wall and pointed it at his heart.
I looked at my hand shacking, this was familiar to me.
I grab for anything around me to hit him with angry and full of rage. I feel something cool to the touch and grasp at it. I didn't know till I held it firmly in my hand that it was a knife I grabbed from the side table, and as Jonathon moves forward, I cringe prepared for another blow. Reflex takes over though and I point it at his heart and in the heat of the moment I strike him with. I remember the shock in his face.
I never meant to hurt him, my brother, my friend, my sole comfort in my life; I destroyed him along with any happiness or joy I could ever feel.
But this is not Jonathan this was Jace. Take the dagger in my quivering hands away from him and behind my back. Clearing my face, I let out a sharp breath that I didn't realize I was holding.
"Looks like I win again," I say forcing a smile, and proud that my voice came out sturdier than I felt.
"Hey are you okay?" I asked panicked when he didn't respond, "Did I hurt your ribs or something, I didn't think I kicked you that hard?"
I reach for the hem of his shirt and pull it up he would have a nasty bruise but nothing was broken so what was wrong. Then I heard Izzy from the end of the room, "Jace she…she demolished you."
He jerked his head up, "Alec quick call Magnus something is wrong," my head whipped towards him scanning him for any sign of injury. I should have never agreed to this, I'm too dangerous, I shouldn't be here. Everything around me that I ever cared up about got hurt, I was a monster.
Alec strolled over and laughed, "Why?"
"BECAUSE I think I'm having a mid life crisis or something. There is someone on this earth that is better than me, and it's a girl too."
Quickly I laughed and replied "I think called an epiphany, Jace."
"Guys I have a great idea," rushed Isabelle radiating joy, "how about we celebrate at this new club called Rush I heard it's going to be amazing and there will probably be demons for Jace to redeem himself with."
"But-"
Alec was quickly cut off with a sharp look from Izzy, "No buts, now come along Clary we have to get ready." She grabbed my arm and started dragging me out I faced Alec and Jace and mouthed save me but Jace just shook his head and laughed. "We will meet you downstairs in a hour…or two so don't make us wait."
I ended up showering and curling my hair, Izzy did my makeup going for a dramatic cat eye, her hair was pin straight and she did a Smokey eye with red lipstick.
I ended up wearing a grey bandeau studded top and a tight skirt along with studded grey and black shoes. (See on my profile the outfits) Isabelle opted for a bright pink dress with cutouts and which clung to her every curve, she had killer high black heels on. (Outfit on my profile)
"I love having another girl in the house; by the way you look fabulous."
"Thanks, is your beau going to come?"
"No we got into a big fight and broke up, but Simons coming." She had a twinkle in her eye and perked immediately up at the mention of Simon.
"So what's going on between you too anyway?"
"Nothing…yet, come on lets go downstairs before they start complaining."
I saw Jace, Alec, Magnus, and Simon down the stairs, all dressed in black besides Magnus who looks like his just swam in a pool of gold and red glitter. When we approached them Jace's eyes were fixed on me looking me up and down mouth agape. I reached over cupped my hand to his chin letting in stay there longer than necessary and then closed his mouth.
"Careful the flies will get in." With that I walked ahead and followed Izzy as she started walking outside.
"It's only a couple blocks away, but I'm glad I wore my comfy shoes." Alec muttered something about screaming metal death trap and shoes. I was getting used to their sibling banter and wondered if Jonathon had lived whether we would fight like that too. No, I would not think about that, I was going to have fun tonight and hunt some demons.
Jace broke me out from my head argument, "Why do you hate me Clary?"
I answered quickly, "I don't hate you."
He smirked, "You love me don't you."
"Oh please don't flatter yourself." Why was I so flustered around Jace?
"Please, say those three words that would make my life."
"Go to hell? Or Fuck you Jace?"
"Neither its starts with an I, the second is along the lines of love, and finally the last one is you."
"You're an idiot Jace you know that right?"
He smiled a genuine smile, "Only around you."
Before I got a chance to answer Isabelle yelled that we arrived. Inside it was like any other club, crowded, music blaring and lights flashing. In the crowd I lost the others, so I just walked over to the bar and scanning the crowd for demons.
"Hey beautiful," a guy slurred, coming up to me.
"Is this seat empty babe," he said motioning to the empty seat next to me.
"Yes, and this one will be too, if you sit down."
"Oh you have some spunk I like that in a woman." I tried ignoring him and scanning through the crowds.
"I know how to please you honey, just come with me."
I was getting annoyed so I snapped, "If you wanted to please me you would please leave me alone."
"Hey," me by the arms and stood in front of me, "who are you looking for."
"My boyfriend," I said without hesitation, it was an automated response every girl had programmed in their mind. Before he could respond Jace came, "There you are babe I was looking for you everywhere." His strong arms wrapped around my and he leaned forward and kissed me. The moment his lips touched mine my body tingled and my heart raced. I pressed harder against him deepening the kiss. Our tongues battling for control, one hand wrapped in his hair the other one exploring his chest, while his hands roamed my body.
OMGGG DID THEY JUST KISSS Review to see what happens next :)
