Clary rubbed her eyes and squinted. The sunlight was shining through the windows of her bedroom. She looked at the small clock on the bedside table and sighed before throwing back the cover and getting out of bed.
She was still exhausted from the ball the night before. She tried to pull herself away from the memories of Jace. He had been hers and she had been his for that one night. No one else in the way. No Valentine, no Sebastian and no Kaelie. But inevitably Jace had had to leave eventually. It had been after midnight by the time the ball had ended, but Clary had stayed out a little longer to be with Jace.
They had walked by the lake and watched the reflection of the stars on the cool water. They had talked, nothing special just talking, but with Jace everything seemed that little bit more magical.
She shook herself awake, there was no point in daydreaming now. She had another day of Arts and Crafts to do. Cecily shoved a mug of coffee towards her as she walked into the cafeteria. "Thanks" she said smiling and accepting the drink. It was hot and sweet, just the way she liked it.
"So did you and Jace have a good time last night?" said Will raising an eyebrow and smirking. "Will" said Cecily shocked hitting her brother in the chest. "We went to the lake and talked. Nothing more, just chatting." admitted Clary. Sophie smiled. "I'm glad you got to see him Clary" she said.
"Yeah well, hopefully we'll all see him again very soon." said Will. Tessa pressed a finger to her lips. "Shush. Don't talk about it in here. People could be listening in." said Tessa glancing to where Sebastian and his friends were sitting. "Tessa is right. We don't want to blow it now." said Jem.
"Are you sure?" said Valentine. "I'm sure. I heard them talking. They've got a plan to get the Herondale boy, Jace, back." said Sebastian lounging on a chair in Valentine's office. He smirked. The other leaders really shouldn't talk about their plans in public. He had been suspecting something like this for a while.
"What do you suggest?" said Valentine considering what Sebastian had said. "I suggest we get rid of the other Herondale boy, Will, he seems to be in charge of this and maybe his friends, Tessa and Jem too. They were helping as far as I could tell." said Sebastian smirking. Valentine was a pushover. He had always trusted in him too much. Sebastian could get Valentine to do whatever he wanted nowadays.
"I shall take your word for it. They'll be gone by tomorrow." said Valentine showing Sebastian to the door. "Thank you Mr Morgenstern. I'm just trying to help you improve the camp." said Sebastian politely as he walked out. Finally, camp was heading in the right direction.
Maia slid down the rope gracefully and shrugged off her harness. "Do you think Jem and Tessa's plan will work?" asked Jordan taking her harness. Maia shrugged. "Honestly, they've had better plans. But it could work I suppose." she said considering. "I kind of hope it does." said Jordan. Maia raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, I find Jace annoying but he plays a big part at camp. Clary misses her boyfriend, Alec misses his best friend and Will and Cecy miss their cousin. The sadness just seems to spread around." he explained. Maia nodded. "I know. Are you sad?" she asked. Jordan shook his head. "I still have everyone I love here." he said and kissed her softly. "I love you too Jordan" she said.
Valentine narrowed his eyes. He could see the Herondale siblings talking. That couldn't be a good sign. Sebastian had warned him about them and lots of the other leaders. He had always said the Herondale's were the worse, causing trouble and ruining camp. Now he knew they were going to try and get that other boy, Jace, back to camp.
It had felt wrong to throw Jace out of camp. He just needed re-educated. Valentine saw himself in the boy. If only Jace had been raised differently then maybe he would have done well at camp, but Valentine couldn't take the risk. This camp had to be perfect. The bosses of the company wouldn't be happy if it wasn't and he couldn't risk being kicked out.
"Well that is just great!" said Will flopping down onto the grass next to his friend with Tessa and Jem. "What's wrong?" asked Gabriel. "Valentine is kicking me, Tess and Jem out of camp!" said Will annoyed. "Ond a ydych yn addo na fyddech yn cael mewn trafferth!"exclaimed Cecily. "Doeddwn i ddim! Yr wyf yn addo nad wyf wedi camu allan o linell! Wel, nid yn fwy nag unrhyw un arall!" replied Will earning him a slap on the arm from Cecily. "I honestly haven't Cecy" said Will rubbing his arm.
"What did he say?" asked Clary. "Just that he was reconsidering our usefullness here and that he decided we should go" said Jem. "That man needs to stop being so blind!" said Maia and Alec nodded in agreement.
Just then, Magnus ran over to the group. "Guys, I think you need to come see this!" he said. The group got up and followed him to the front entrance.
"Kaelie?" exclaimed Jordan recognising the blond haired girl getting out of the car. "What's she doing here?" asked Clary. Will shrugged. "Another new leader probably of Valentine has anything to do with it" he said bitterly. As if on cue, Valentine appeared from the building.
"Kaelie? What are you doing here?" he spluttered. "Hello uncle!" replied Kaelie.
Hey there amazing readers!
So, Valentine is Kaelie's uncle! Dun dun dun! But why is Kaelie here? And will Jace ever be able to come back if Tessa, Will and Jem are being kicked out?

~marshmallowpandaxox (who wants to say the biggest thank you ever to all the lovely people who have read/reviewed/favourited and followed!)
PS- I'll warn you now, the next chapter is looking like it's going to be the last/second last! This is a sequel, so I have been a bit limited with ideas without trying to repeat too much or copy Cassie Clare! I also have a few other writing projects I want to get working on, super fluffy happy ending stuff obviously, this is me we're talking about!
PPS- If anyone is nice enough, maybe check out some of my older stories! (The first few are a bit rubbish, but I think my writing has improved since then (hopefully) but I have some super fluffy one/two shots (Forever and Just Now, Costumes and Moving On)!)
