Hope you enjoy, I don't own any of the shadow hunter world disclaimer to Cassandra Clare

Clary's point of view

Next day I was woken up by and excited Izzy, "Come on you can't be late to your first training session!"

I enjoyed having Izzy here, she was the only one keeping me from sane, except the food.

I begun to laugh, "Okay, okay Izzy I'm getting up, I'm getting up."

"I'll meet you down in 5?" She asked as she walked to the door.

"Of course."

She gave me a smile and left.

I got dressed into a black sports bra, and some black 3/4 skins, some runners and quickly put my hair into a highish ponytail. I hoped down the stairs and made my way to the training room, today was hand to hand combat which I loved, I was the top of my class at the old institute.

I made my way there to find Izzy and Alec waiting, once I got there hodge arrived. "You must be Clary, I heard a lot about you, hopefully all true, I'm hodge."

"Hopefully." I smiled back politely, he seemed nice.

"Where's Jace?" Hodge asked Alec.

I couldn't shake the feeling Alec didn't like me. Before Alec could speak Jace appeared. I turned back to Hodge as quick as I could, to avoid eye contact.

"Since your so late, you and Clary will be fighting first." As Hodge finished that sentence my jaw dropped. "We can finally see how good you are Clary, see what we might need to work on.

I walk on to the mat, I turn to see Jace still speechless, I take off my jacket, and he begun to speak, "Shouldn't she verse Izzy first, someone in her league." And like that Jace was back to his normal confident and cocky attitude.

"Hey, I hope she puts your ass on the floor now." Replied Izzy who seemed rightfully annoyed.

Though as much as I hate to admit it, him saying that gave me a reason to want to knock him on his ass.

"Well Jace if she verses you, we can decide whether or not she needs a different partner." Hodge said and turned around and gave me a smile. And I remembered him saying earlier "I heard a lot about you, hopefully all true." And in that smile I knew exactly what he meant.

Jace moved his way to the mat and took his jacket off showing a tight t-shirt that showed off his shadow hunter body, but I'm thankfully used to it, with what seemed like an always shirtless older brother Jonathan, and people of similar muscle type at my old institute, I would be lying if I said I didn't think Jace was hot.

I get in my fighting stance, Jace on the other hand was lazy, thinking he was going to easily beat me I used this to my advantage.

I moved forward I threw a punch he easily dodged it, while he was distracted I wrapped my foot and ankle around his leg, tripping him up, then making a quick punch to his face, and landing him on the ground. I kept my gaze on him knowing the fight is far from over and now he was more alert, I could almost feel Izzy's and Alec's jaw drop.

Jace made his way into his stance, but he knelt down and had his head down and his back to me, slowly getting up, I grabbed his two arms, putting my foot into his back, sending his face back into the floor.

"Your stance is awfully sloppy." I said with a grin, and with that I saw him tense, making his moves to fast with out thinking, he turned and went to punch my face, I quickly turned, grabbed his arm, elbowed his stomach, stepped on his foot, pushed the back of my head into his nose and flipped him over, thank god for strength runes, otherwise I'm as useful as lifting a bag of feathers.

He laid on his back and didn't make a move, just closed his eyes and shook his head.

"I think your right Jace." He looked up at me with furrowed eyebrows, confused about what I meant. "Izzy would be a far better sparring partner." And with that I heard Alec, Izzy and Hodge let out a giant laugh.

I walked over to them after helping Jace up.

Hodge was about to talk when Jace interrupted, "I know, I didn't think she'd be any good." I put on a fake hurt face.

"You let your defense down Jace, you did from the start, your stance was horrible, you didn't even try to get back up, and when you did, it was like your head was in a different place, throwing stupid punches." Hodge said, Jace seemed pretty upset with himself that's when izzy came up to me and whispered in my ear, only loud enough for me to hear.

"His never lost to anyone before." And in that moment I felt bad for winning, but I'm sure in the future I won't be so lucky.

After a few hours of technique training which lasted a few hours the session was done, we all left and had some showers, after I finished my long shower I put a towel around me and put my hair into a messy bun, put my usual daytime makeup on a bit of mascara and light tint of pink lipstick, I put on these black leather leggings, and a crop black singlet with a see through black loose top, on top, I put on my new 6 inch black heel boots that Izzy gave me that didn't fit her, and they felt snug and comfortable, which was good cause I needed the extra height, and it's more painful to some when you kick them which is always helpful.

I made my way down the hall to explore rooms I had not yet seen making sure to avoid any bedrooms, I made my way to the sound of the beautiful piano at the end of the hall. It was in the library which was about the one other room I know.

Jace's point of view.

After the sparring session I had a quick shower and got dressed, I was so annoyed at myself for losing, I had never lost, and it was exactly what hodge said, at first it was my stance because I thought I was going to win, but then my head was somewhere else, I was thinking about how much I would want to kill myself if I hurt Clary, or if she was still annoyed at me from last night, and I should have had my head in the match not somewhere else, love is a weakness

I made my way to the piano to get my head cleared. I begun to play when I heard someone at the door, it was Clary, and at this moment I had been thinking about her so much I couldn't tell you if it was her or just my imagination. I stopped playing she moved down towards the piano and sat down on the stool.

"I love that song, you played it well, I've always been bad at the piano." And in that moment I thought how can someone like her even have a flaw. But finding it didn't make me feel like I had won anything, actually the opposite. Usually I would be cocky and confident but with her it was hard to be that.

"I can teach you if you wanted." I stated trying not to look at her cause I knew if I did I would want to kiss her.

"I'd love that." And seeing her smile just made me want to smile.

I begun to explain it and in no time at all she had begun to get the hang of it, she wasn't a pro, but she still was doing well.

Once I taught her part of the song she begun to play her half and I begun to play my half, but as the song came to a end, I felt her fingers and looked down and back up at her, though it was an accident and hardly a touch it was like sparks were going off in my hands, I looked up to her lightly blushed face, and I loved that it was me that gave her that blush. She quickly moved off the seat, after a few seconds of eye contact.

"Why don't you tell me A bit about yourself, I hardly know anything about you." She asked walking towards a couch, she sat down, and I went and sat on the couch across from hers.

"I came here after my Father was killed and my Mother committed suicide I was just a child, but Maryse and Robert let me in, and now Alec and Izzy Max are like my brothers and sister, Alec is my Parabati, and Maryse and Robert are like my Mother and Father, and that's about it." I said looking up at her, she had a bit of an unreadable look.

"What about you, your hopes, dreams, favorite things in the world, fears." She said, and once I looked into her eyes, I answered.

"I don't like Ducks," she begun to smile at that, "my hopes and dreams I guess would be able to fight in great battles, be one of the best shadow hunters to live. Have a family," I had never told anyone any of this, especially not about wanting a family, and to tell you the truth I had never though about it till now, "my favorite things would be, my family, fighting, ugh, mangos." I wanted to say talking to her, watching her smile but I knew I shouldn't I just met her, and I can't have those feelings I pushed it back.

"That's more like it." She smiled brightly, which was almost contagious.

"What about you." I asked leaning a little bit more off the couch.

"Ugh, I love drawing and painting, which isn't really seem like a good thing but I like it. I love fighting and my Brother and Mother and my best friend Simon, I hate, I don't really know what I hate, I dream to have a family, run an institute, go back to Idris visit my friends."

Wow I didn't know any of that about her, "Whose your brother?"

"His name is Jonathon Morgenstern." I knew who she was talking about straight away, he had visited the institute before he was really good, though we never spared.

"Why the different last name?"

"We thought my Dad was dead when my mum had me."

"How was that?" I questioned

"He was stuck in a different dimension, he got out but never talked to anyone about it, my Mum always talked about how much he changed."

Well she was one of the only people I know with a family life as messed up as mine. I felt bad for her because I knew how painful it must be.

"That must of been hard, for your mother."

"Yeah but she's strong she could handle it."

I tried to think of a nicer topic to change it to, "Can I see your drawings?"

"Ugh sure, don't judge them though, I've never shown anyone but my family before, Come. Their in my room." She motioned for me to follow her as we walked out the hallway and made our way to her bedroom.

Her room was spotless, she had a picture of her family next to her bed with an alarm clock, and a letter of some sort, on her desk she had a lamp, and some runes books, a sketch pad and a stack of colored pencils and grey leads.

She passed the book over to me and I sat on her bed and she came and sat next to me, looking at me waiting for my reaction, I open what seemed like a new book, there was a picture of a man, so realistic it was like he was in their. "That's my father."

"It looks, real." She smiled and I went through the pages, there was this beautiful bird in a tree which was drawn out of grey lead, and if let like I could reach in and take it out and it would fly around the room.

The next page was a busy street full of mundanes living their normal life just walking to where they needed to be, and it looked like a picture, there was a few other drawing a few demons that looked so real, and a half started drawing of the back of the institute. I was about to flip the page when Clary shut the book.

"That's it." She smiled and I knew there must have been another drawing she didn't want me to see, now I wanted to see it.

"Those were amazing Clary, they looked so real."

"Thanks, but I don't know." She said fiddling with a bracelet with her wrist.

"Well I think there amazing, and if you ever need a hot shirtless model, you know where my door is." I gave her a wink and begun to walk towards the door."

"Thanks for the heads up, at least now I know were to avoid." She smiled.

I put my hand on my chest, "I'm wounded."

"I wouldn't want to damage your ego anymore would I." She laughed.

"Hey. I'm wounded here."

And she just laugh, as I went towards the door it burst open,with a an ecstatic Izzy at the door.

"Clary ready for our first mission... Jace?" And then shrugged, to happy about the mission.

"Awesome, let's go." I responded with Izzy and Clary walking behind me, "so what weapon do you use anyway Clary?" I asked as we opened the weapon cabinet.

"Seraph blade." She said grabbing a medium size one that I presumed was hers, as I had never seen it before.

"Hodge what is she doing here?" Alec and hodge made their way towards us.

"I would hope your not talking about me." Said Clary as she turned around to Alec.

"I would be talking about you, you might as well be a mundane, we've never fought with you before, it's dangerous, your dangerous." Clary looked slightly hurt but Alec kept his stern gaze on her.

"I'm pretty sure she is quite capable." Responded Izzy, smiling at me, obviously referring to earlier today.

"Alec she'll be fine, plus you need the backup, there's a lot of demons that are getting picked up."

"Well if it completely screws over, that's the last mission she'll go on for a few months, if I get a say in it." Alec responded

"Well you don't get a say, so go and try to get along." And with that hodge left.

We made our way silently to the New York run down fabric company, it looked like there was no one there which is perfect for demons who loved the dark. We made our way in a Hodge wasn't lying, it looked like a planned attack as it's not often for demons to work together.

There was about 5 Hydra demons that were swinging there head around until they heard us, as well as about 3 Dahak demons, none pretty to the eye.

We begun splitting up Izzy with her whip and small seraph blade made her way towards 2 of the Dahak demons, Alec's made his way to 2 of the hydra demons I went towards 2 of the hydra demons. Clary had already killed one of the Dahak demons before we even made our way to the demons, the hydra seemed to be giving her more trouble. That was when I got into action, leaping towards the hydras, slashing one head at a time until it was wounded badly, and jumped on to its back, plunging my sword through it's back, Alec had already killed his first demon, and so had Izzy, and Clary, I made my way quickly slashing the next Hydra as much as I could till it weakened. He seemed to be more aware of it's surrounding then the last one.

I had just killed the last of the hydra when I went to help Alec, Clary had seemed to kill the last of her demons and was running towards Alec. I looked to see what Clary was running towards. A scorpios had just appeared behind Alec.

"Alec behind you!" I yelled as Alec finally killed his hydra demon. He went to turn around when Clary had just made it in time, slashing the Scorpios, I see Izzy running towards us as well after killing the last of her demons. As clary went to stab the scorpios in the chest, the tail lunged itself into Clary's back, but died as soon as Clary's sword penetrated it.

"Clary!" I yelled out bolting as fast as I could to catch Clary before she fell, Alec was standing there motionless, Izzy went over to make sure he was okay.

I picked Clary up, "We have to get her to the institute, and send a fire message to Magnus."

We started running towards the institute, Clary's almost lifeless body in my arms, none of the runes were working. When we got there I ran straight to the infirmary lying her down on the bed while Alec's and Izzy got Hodge.

I sat next to Clary feeling helpless as I couldn't do anything. When her eyes flattered opened.

"I-I-is A-Alec's ok?" She stuttered.

"Yeah his fine don't talk, just stay awake, okay."

"Y-you ssseem worried." She smiled.

"That's because I am." I said looking at her pale and faint face.

"I'll be fine, t-t-trust me."

"Ok I will just don't speak don't waste your energy. Magnus Bane will be here soon."

I waited a few minutes trying to stop Clary from moving, when someone made their way through the portal, finally Magnus was here.

I look down to see Clary close her eyes. "Clary, Clary, please just keep your eyes open, please." And with that her eyes opened only a fraction, but it was better then nothing. The doors burst open to see Magnus come over to Clary I step back, and before the door had a chance to close, Jocelyn, Alec and Izzy rushed through, I could tell Jocelyn was holding back tears, and every now and then one escaped.

"Okay you two, the gorgeous blue eyes and his sister, I need you to get everything on the list, pronto." Alec's looked shocked but Izzy quickly ran over and grabbed the list, and they ran out the door.

I went over to make sure Jocelyn was okay. She looked so fragile, like if I touched her she would break.

"Are you alright Jocelyn?" I asked as comforting as I could.

She hugged me, I'd never really been hugged before, it was kind of motherly, I tried my best to reciprocate the hug, but it turned a bit awkward.

"Thank you for looking after her." I looked down at the ground, I hadn't done a good job. And it was her first mission with us. "I just can't lose her as well." She said staring at Clary. I couldn't imagine how hard this could be for her.

"How far off are the other two, they better hurry up." Said Magnus who was doing some sort of healing magic, I didn't quite know what. I walked to the door to get them, when they came through putting all the ingredients on the table next to clary, Magnus begun mixing it together, the. He gave it to her, the room went silent, you could hear a pin drop. and then all of a sudden there was life in Clary she begun to gasp and shot up, Magnus laid her back down.

"Do you remember what happened?" Magnus asked her.

"Yes is Alec's okay?" She asked, but I had already told her he was fine.

"Yes he is, do you remember anything after you got stung?" He said in an almost soothing voice.

"No." Well that would explain it.

"Do you need anything? Any extreme pain?"

"No I'm fine. Thank you."

"No problems button." Clary smiled at the nickname and I was just relieved she was okay.

Jocelyn went over to Clary made sure she was okay and left with Magnus, probably to get the payment, warlocks always had a heavy payment. But before they left Magnus turned to back to Alec's. "I expect o be seeing you soon gorgeous." He winked a glittery eye at Alec's, who's still seemed to be in shock, and with that Magnus had left.

Alec was the first to speak, he was still looking at the ground, not looking at Clary, "Sorry I was rude to you earlier, thanks for saving my life." And before she could respond he left, I had never really seen Alec apologize to anyone but his family, and he didn't seem to like Clary so it was a good start.

"You had us really worried." Izzy said walking over to her bed and sitting down on the bed next to it, Clary sat up to face her.

"Had to make the first mission interesting don't we?" She smiled. She was in a new singlet and leggings that Magnus must of put on her to stop the demon blood and poison from injuring her any further.

"If that's what makes it interesting I'd rather it be dull." I responded

"I'll remember for next time." She said going to stand up.

"Maybe you should stay in bed for a day or two." I said going to support her incase she fell.

"I'm not dead, I'll be fine. Plus I want to have a shower."

"Well thanks for saving my brother, I'll take you to your room, to make sure you don't slip or faint, and hurt yourself."

"Okay." And the two of them left, I pulled the dirty and bloodied sheets off the bed and chucked them in the laundry basket.

Clary's point of view.

I had a slight headache, and my neck felt like it was still on fire, but I decided a shower would help, Izzy stayed in my room, and picked out my clothes, when I wrapped myself in a towel, and moved to the closet, where she said the clothes would be. It was a shirt black skater dress, and dark shimmer stocking and the 6 inch heals I was wearing before. Good to know that after a near death experience I should still wear heals. I chucked the clothes on and dried my hair quickly and out it into a ponytail.

I walked out to see an Izzy on my bed, "Hey you mind putting a rune on the back of my neck, I can't quite reach..." That was when I realized she was going through my sketch book, she had her mouth slightly ajar, and I couldn't help but mutter the word 'shit'.

"Clary these pictures are amazing, I can't believe you like Jace, good drawing of him though." She said with a smile.

"I didn't know you were going through that."

"Hahaha I especially like the angel wings." She said laughing. "And come over here and I'll do your rune." She said grabbing her stele.

I walked over to her and sat down on the bed.

"I don't like him, I just he agh, is a, umm, I don't know, I just thought of it and I drew it?"

"Hahaha sure. Hold your breath this is not going to tickle."

"Aghh! By the angel!" Izzy let out a slight giggle at my pain.

Once she finished she decided my torture wasn't quite enough."I'm going to do your makeup, I've never had another girl I could do it on, it should be fun!"

"Yeah fun, woo." I said sarcastically.

"Come on it will be fun!"

"Okay sure." I said giving in to her.

After what seemed like forever but probably was an hour, she had finished my makeup and hair. She had put my hair in this beautiful messy braid. And I hardly could recognize my face when I looked in the mirror but I looked nice, like nicer then I normally look nice.

"I hate to say it, and trust me I do, but you did a good job."

"You know it, now you can impress you know who." She gave me a wink.

"I don't like him, I hardly know him." I tried to explain, but nothing would convince her. "Shouldn't you be cooking?" I tried to change the topic.

"Nah we're going out to Taki's diner to celebrate the fact your alive."

I went and grabbed a leather jacket, and grabbed a small seraph blade and my stele and put it on my thin belt.

We went out in the hall and down the steps and Jace was already down their with Alec. Izzy had looked gorgeous as always, with her small skin tight black dress, and thigh high boots, but no jacket, and it was cold outside, well colder then back at home.

"You girls look beautiful." Jace said but I couldn't shake the fact or feeling that he only looked at me when he said it.

"You can thank Izzy for that." I said giving a wink to her. "Shall we go I'm hungry."

"Really couldn't imagine why?" Jace laughed.
