"What?!" exclaimed Will. "He says he doesn't feel my work here has met standard. He's called home already, they're coming to get me." said Jace bluntly. "He must be kidding! He can't just kick you out!" said Cecily annoyed. "That's the problem Cecy, he can" said Jem "Sorry Jace. I don't know how much we can do!"
Jace shook his head. "I don't want any of you to do anything. " he said. "Not ANY of you" he repeated as Cecily and Will began to protest. "When are you getting collected?" asked Tessa. "Later tonight from what Valentine said" said Jace. "In fact, I should probably go pack. Alec come give me a hand?" he said. Alec gave Magnus a peck on the cheek and went with Jace.
Clary sat in some state of rage and confusion. Jace hadn't stepped out of line since camp had started. He always gave it 100% and always followed the rules. Why would Valentine throw him out? She could practically see Sebastian's smug face in her head. No, wait, Sebastian was grinning like a maniac from across the lawn. Obviously, it would have something to do with him!
"Don't" said Isabelle quietly from next to her. "What?" she said. "Don't go over there and punch Sebastian" replied Izzy. "How did you know...?" spluttered Clary. "Because it's what I was about to do" said Izzy. "You should go see Jace. You won't be able to see him for the rest of the summer now." she said sadly. Clary nodded and got up. "I'm sorry Clary. You two don't deserve half of the stuff that has happened to you." said Isabelle sympathetically.
"Jace?" said Clary cautiously pushing open the door of his room. He turned to face her, his hair lit up in a golden halo by the small bedside lamp. He still looked angelic but she could see shadows under his eyes and stress and worry etched in his face. He smiled sadly at her. "I can't believe...I mean it's not fair... what I'm trying to say is..." spluttered Clary.
But before she could say what she was trying to, he cut her off by pressing his lips to hers. His hands wound in her hair and hers linked around his neck. She lost herself in the pressure of his lips and the feel of his skin against hers and the passion flowing between them. "I know" he whispered softly when the kiss ended.
"I'll miss you" she whispered tears forming in her eyes. "Clary, I promise I'll visit. Not even Valentine Morgenstern can keep me from you." he said smiling a little.
"Jace, your aunt and uncle are here." said Alec poking his head around the door. "Sorry, I interrupted didn't I?" he said wincing. "Alec" said Jace. "Yes" replied Alec. "Get out" said Jace. Alec shut the door quickly and left.
Clary buried her head in Jace's chest, inhaling his familiar smell. He smiled and kissed the top of her head. "Clary, I'll be back in no time. You won't even have a chance to miss me" said Jace. Clary smiled a little. "I miss you already" she said. Jace smiled. "Come and meet my aunt and uncle, please" he said taking his bag from the bed. She nodded and took his hand.
"You were right, Clary was with him." said Alec walking into his room. "I told you" said Magnus. Alec winced as he remembered walking in on them. Magnus frowned then gasped. "Did you walk in on them?" he said. Alec sighed and nodded. Magnus rolled his eyes. "I told you to be careful!" he said. "They were only kissing, it could have been worse!" protested Alec.
"Would you want someone walking in on us kissing?" said Magnus. Alec considered his point. "The difference is, that has happened to us!" he said. Magnus smiled. "And you still love me" he said taking his boyfriend's hand. "Do I have a choice anymore?" said Alec smiling. Magnus shook his head and kissed Alec softly. Alec pulled him closer, closing the gap and kissed him back.
"At last" said Cecily rolling her eyes as Jace and Clary reached the entrance. Clary recognised Will and Cecily and she knew immediately that the man and woman behind them must be their parents. The man and woman both had dark hair and Will and Cecily's bright blue eyes. "Clary meet my aunt Linette and my uncle Edmund. Aunt, uncle, this is Clary Fray" said Jace.
Clary shook both of their hands. "Do you want a minute to say goodbye?" asked Edmund. Jace nodded. He gave Will and Cecily a quick hug and said a general goodbye to the rest of the group who had gathered to see Jace off. He kissed Clary gently. "Call me" he whispered. "I will" said Clary. "You promise?" asked Jace. "I promise" she said kissing his cheek.
Jace got into the car slowly and waved one last goodbye to the group before the car pulled away.
"Mae'n rhaid i ni gael iddo yn ôl" said Cecily as the car pulled away. "Byddwn yn. Yr wyf yn addo." replied Will. "If you two wouldn't mind speaking in English, that would be helpful." said Jem. "Sorry" muttered Will. "We were just saying goodbye" said Cecily although Clary didn't entirely believe her.
The group headed back inside. Although there was nothing she could do about it, Clary felt like she was falling apart. It felt weird Jace not being at camp even though he had only just left. She had a feeling camp would seem very different from here on in.
Hey there wonderful people!
So Jace has left camp. But why has Valentine thrown him out? And what does Sebastian have to do with it? And what is going on with Aline (we haven't heard from her in a little while)?

Well done to ilona18 on getting the second reference! Jeremy, Zach and Mike are supposed to represent the Silent Brothers! (Brother Jeremiah, Brother Zachariah and Brother Micah. Hence why Will says Zach reminds him of Jem.)
