The usually clean floor was covered in shards of broken glass, the window smashed into a thousand tiny pieces. "What happened?" asked Clary quietly. "I was just sitting on the couch, then there was a smashing sound. I ran in here and saw this. Someone must have smashed the window." said Cecily. "Is there a rock or a hammer? Something they used to smash it with?" asked Jace. Cecily shook her head. "Who would do this?" asked Clary.

"Kaelie" growled Jace. Cecily shook her head again. "No way. Kaelie would never have managed." she said. "What do you mean managed?" asked Clary. "Well, if whoever did this threw something at the window, it would be in here just now. But there isn't anything but the glass. Which means someone climbed up here, punched in the window and scarpered." explained Cecily. "You're right. Kaelie would never have been able to climb up here." said Jace. "So, who could?" asked Clary. "Well only a few people, myself, Cecily, Will, perhaps Jordan and Maia and..." Jace said trailing off before running out of the room.

Cecily and Clary darted after him. Cecily overtook Jace and grabbed him. "Stop!" she said holding him back. "Why should I?" said Jace angrily trying to release himself from Cecily's grip. "Because you're going to get into a fight and get yourself hurt. And I won't let you do that for the sake of a window." said Cecily calmly. Jace bit his lip and stopped. "What is going on?" asked Clary joining them.

"The only other person who could climb three storeys. Sebastian." said Jace gritting his teeth. "He's skating on thin ice, mucking us about like this!" said Jace bitterly shoving Cecily aside, into the wall, angrily. "Jace, don't." said Clary softly taking his hand. "Why shouldn't I deal with him?" said Jace angrily. "Because you're not yourself just now." said Clary softly. Jace began to protest. "No Jace, you're not yourself." she interrupted. "I know you're not, because you just pushed aside a member of your family. And you care about your family, a lot."

Jace sighed. "I'm sorry" he said hugging Cecily. "You're not forgiven." replied Cecily smiling a little. "Anyway, you can't let Sebastian get to you. That's like letting him win." said Clary. Jace sighed. "I guess" he said reluctantly.


Sebastian smiled smugly from inside his room. He could hear Jace and Clary talking in the corridor. At least Clary had got his little gift. Sebastian couldn't deny, Clary was his kind of girl. She was the type of girl he considered suitable for a girlfriend. But she had Jace. Trying to split them up hadn't worked, so now it was time to show Clary. If he couldn't have her, no one could!

He heard a knock at the door. Perhaps Jace was disobeying his girlfriend. He opened the door. To his surprise it wasn't Jace after all, it was Kaelie. "Listen up Verlac. I don't normally make deals like this, but it will help us both. You want Clary, I want Jace. I have a plan where we can both get what we want!" she said. He opened the door fully and let her in.


"Hang on, we're playing what?" asked Clary confused. "Hide and seek. Except we're playing it at night. The leaders hide, the campers look for us." said Cecily. "At night? But won't it be pitch black?"asked Clary. "Yeah, but it makes it 10 times more fun!" said Cecily excitedly.

The first stars dotted the sky as Clary and Cecily joined the other leaders on the lawn. "Ok leaders, hide and seek! I should hope you all know the rules!" said Robert. There were murmurs of yes among the leaders. "If a camper finds you, you must come out of hiding! You can hide on your own or with others, but when the horn blows you must all return to this lawn!" said Maryse. "On you go!" called Robert and the leaders ran from the lawn to find somewhere to hide.

Jace grabbed Clary's hand. "Come on! I know the perfect place to hide!" he said smiling and pulling her away towards the lake. They wound through the trees until a small clearing appeared. "In here" said Jace as he and Clary squeezed through the gap in the trees to the clearing. "Well, you seem to know the hidey-holes in camp!" said Clary laughing. Jace grinned. "Years of being a camper does pay off!" he said. "How long does this game go on?" asked Clary. "About an hour" said Jace. "And no one will find us?" asked Clary. Jace nodded. "Oh what to do for an hour?" said Jace smirking.

Clary kissed him softly as he kissed her back. The kiss deepened as his hands wove into her air and her arms wove around his neck. "Geez guys! It's hide and seek, not hide and make out!" said a voice from behind them. They broke apart and spun round. Cecily and Gabriel stood there, laughing a little. "I thought you said we wouldn't be found?" said Clary frowning. "It's fine, we're leaving now. Please feel free to resume snogging the face off my cousin!" said Cecily pulling Gabriel away.

Clary buried her head in Jace's shoulder. "Now that was mortifying!" she said embarrassed. Jace laughed a little and hugged her. The chattering of campers could be heard in the trees around them and they retreated into the shadows. The voices passed them by and they breathed a sigh of relief. "Maybe we should move. The campers won't find us here, but it seems they are a little too close for comfort for you." said Jace taking Clary's hand.

They had barely got onto the path when "Look!" They turned round to see a bunch of campers pointing straight at them. "Got you!" they chimed and led Jace and Clary back to the large lawn. "Did you plan that?" asked Clary. Jace smirked a little. "Maybe..." he said quietly.


"Are you sure it's going to work?"asked Sebastian. "Yes." said Kaelie "I promise this will work out in our favour." Sebastian smirked a little. "At last, Clary will have the right boyfriend" he whispered to himself.


Hello wonderful readers!

So what are Sebastian and Kaelie planning? What happens next? (Ok, I get it. You hate me. It's a cliffhanger!)

By the way if you have never played hide and seek in the dark outside, you are missing out! Seriously, it is the best thing. You need to try it. (It's even better if you go to a holiday camp with friends or an organisation (Girl Guides, Scouts, whatever your equivalent is!))
