Hey guys! Thank you for reading and reviewing. I'm sorry for not updating sooner, I had a big problem with my other story. I'm sorry again. I hope you guys like the story so far.

This chapter is ten min. after the last one.

Warning: can cause you to fall in love with Alec. He's too cute for his own good. (Or maybe is just that i have a crush on him).

Sadly I don't own the characters or TMI Cassandra Clare does.

Chapter 3

CPOV

Alec sat across from me in the small table. After they all got out from their shock they started asking questions, they were all talking at the same time. Alec and I just stood there, they didn't even left us talk. So Alec told them to calm down, and that we should eat first. And I'm thankful for that, I'm starving. I feel uncomfortable with everyone's gazes on me, everyone is in the kitchen, me and Alec sitting in the four chair table, and everybody else standing looking at us. Max sat on one of the chairs, smiling. Magnus snapped his fingers, blue sparks came flying, there were two plates with pancakes, one for me, one for Alec, and two chocolate shakes. Alec and I gasped at the same time, Magnus chuckled.

"Thank you" we said at the same time, and we both blushed. We started eating, I didn't care if they were staring at me while eating, I'm hungry, I could tell Alec didn't care either, he kept eating.

"You might want to slow down, you will make yourselves sick" said Maryse. My mom move the locks of red hair that were falling in my face, she made a pony tail, I felt like in first grade, when my mom would do my hair for school. I stopped eating to take my jacket off, I was getting a bit hot, the house is warm and I'm wearing a long sleeve underneath. I unzipped the jacket and took it of, I began to eat again.

"Sweetie, did you got hurt? Why is there blood on your shirt?" Mom asked. I looked down at my shirt, there was blood in the sleeves, and a little in the front. Shit, I forgot.

"Its nothing, mom" I said, and kept eating like nothing happened.

"What do you mean nothing? Tell me."

"Is not my blood," I said.

"Then who's?"

"Valentine's" I said, "and a guard's" I rolled up my sleeve.

"Was Alec with you?"

"No" said Alec. "I wasn't"

"Is there something else you need to tell me?" Mom said, I knew she's worried.

"I.. uh...a Drevak demon" I said and took a sip of my chocolate shake.

"You what? You fought and killed valentine, one of his guards, and a Drevak demon, and alone." I nodded.

"Something else?"

"We fought four Drevak demons on our way here, and Raphael, and other four vampires were with us." Said Alec.

"Raphael?" Said Luke.

"We were resting at the safe house and Raphael found us there, then we agreed to go with him, and we got attacked by Drevak demons on our way." Alec explained.

"Ok, ok, but how the heck did Clary fought," said Jace looking at me, "no offense but you can't fight." I wanted to punch him in the face to show him I can.

"Oh she can," Alec came to may defense, of course, he's the only one who has seen me fight. "She actually killed two demons, she killed one of the four demons, and helped Raphael kill another, and the one she killed before I found her."

"How?" Jace seem no to completely believe it.

"She's trained, and she's good, you should have seen the way she moved, for the time of training she has, she pretty good," Alec gave me a smile, I smiled at him too, "she left me open mouthed."

"Who trained you?" Asked simon, who was standing next to Isabelle.

"Um uh.. Jonathan." I said, then I could see irritation in Jace's face.

"Since when do you call him Jonathan?" Asked Jace, annoyed.

"He didn't liked it when I called him Sebastian"

"I would still call him that, just to annoy him," he crossed his arms in his chest.

"Yeah, well I did, but then every time he beat me up got worst and I needed to stay strong. To find a way out, instead of just annoy him!" I shouted and stood up, as soon as the words came out of my mouth i regret it, I didn't want my mom to know that. My mom hugged me tightly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." Jace said.

"Oh, my baby..." mom began.

"Mom, it's Ok," I said, Alec saw me trying to escape from the situation.

"I think that we should get clean up before answering more questions," said Alec.

"Yes. I really need a shower," I said, mom let go of me, but not before kissing my forehead.

"Isabelle, can you show her your bathroom and some clothes?" Maryse asked Izzy.

"Come on Clary," Izzy said, I followed her, I hugged Magnus an Simon.

"I missed you two" I told them.

"I missed you too."said Simon.

"So did I," said Magnus. I followed Izzy up the stairs, Alec behind us. The stairs led to a living room, smaller than the one down stairs. There was a corridor with doors, we passed the first door and Izzy stopped at the second, Izzy opened it and gestured me to come in, I gave Alec a smile, he gave me a warm smile that showed his dimples, and for some reason made my heart skip a beat. He walked down the corridor, I closed Izzy's door behind me, she crooked her head to the side and then the other, like trying to figure something up, she shook her head, dismissing whatever she was thinking. She opened a drawer, she handed me a towel.

"That's the bathroom," she pointed at a door, "I'll find you some clothes, I'll leave them in my bed."

"Thank you, Izzy." I opened the door.

"Clary"

"Huh?"

"I missed you," she hugged me tightly.

"I miss you too, Izzy."

"Go, you stink" she said smirking playfully.

"Ha. Ha" I closed the bathroom's door behind me

I stepped out the shower, I wrapped the towel around my body, I opened the door and peeked out, Izzy was gone. I walked towards her bed, there were clothes, black skinny jeans, and a scarlet shirt, that will show more skin, than my and my mom's liking. Then I noticed a navy blue T-shirt, it was big, not for Izzy's liking. The shirt smelled good, it made me want to hugged. I changed into the clothes, I put the many blue T-shirt instead of the scarlet. I brushed my hair and looked at my reflection in the mirror, there were shadows under my eyes. I walked to the door and opened, as I stepped out Alec came from two doors after Izzy's room. He looked up, and gave me a smile, a smile that warmed my heart.

"..uh.." he looked at my clothes, and smirked. "Izz owes me a bag of skittles."

"What?" I said, confused.

"Um.. before I took my shower I thought about the kind of clothes Izzy will give you" she said, he looked at the floor, "and I know you don't like 'em so I gave that shirt to Izzy," he said pointing at the T-shirt I was wearing, "she bet you would prefer her shirt." He said smirking.

"Well, thank you" I said, I blushed at my early thoughts about the shirt. "And thank you for helping me out down there too." He nodded. "Um and can you not tell anyone what Jonathan asked for to let you go."

"Sure, what ever you want, I know isn't something you will like to talk about right now," he said. "Clary, if you need anything, just let me go, no matter what time, you got my number, right?"

"Yes, thanks" I said, he gave me another heartwarming smile. God does he does that on purpose? Out of the blue, strong, muscular arms were wrapped around me. Alec was hugging me. Alec. And it felt so right, safe, warm, I hugged him back, and rested my face in his chest. "Thank you" I whispered.

"Anytime,Clary,"he said and kissed my forehead. "Shall we go?" I nodded. We went down the stairs, everyone was in the living room. My mom made room for me, between her and Luke, Alec sat next to Isabelle. Isabelle looked at the shirt and glare at Alec, he smirked.

"I don't know where to start."

"From the beginning, sweetheart, we want to know everything, from the day Jonathan kidnapped you till right now." Said my mom, holding my hand.

I told them everything since the beginning till the end. I just left some stuff out, like she why did I have to made the burning rune, which was because Jonathan wanted to rape me, I didn't tell them what he asked for to let Alec go. I didn't tell them how many times he tried to kiss and touch me. I didn't want them to know, I didn't want to hear to my mom blaming herself. After that they asked some questions. Then Luke said that both, me and Alec, looked tired, so they told us to have some rest. Isabelle guided me to the room between hers and Alec's.

I lay down in the bed, I was tired as hell, but yet couldn't sleep. I smell like him, I thought as I smelled the shirt. I never thought Alec and I could share a hug. He had never smiled to me like that, his cute dimples showing,when he smiles he looks so damn cute. We have never been close, we never hold a conversation. The longest conversation we had before was when he tried to comfort me when Jace broke up with me. Jace. When I saw him I didn't feel anything, I didn't feel jealous to see him with Aline, I don't care who Jace is with. If I ever loved him the feeling's gone, I don't love him anymore, my love for him is long dead.

I rolled to the side, to reach my sketchbook and a pencil. I had left it in at Magnus house, where he was staying, before Jonathan kidnapped me, and Izzy kept it. Then I took out the one I used when i was with Jonathan and Valentine, I had forgotten I had put it in the backpack before escaping. I opened my sketchbook into a clean page, I closed my eyes to have the image; Alec smiling, showing his dimples, his blue eyes shining. I open my eyes and began to draw.

The door burst open, two shadow figures stood in the doorway. The figures stepped into view. My eyes widen. No, no this can't be happening, no, it can't be.

"No hug, Clarissa? Didn't you miss me?"

"You're dead, I killed you!" Valentine shook his head, he sat next to me.

"Aren't you happy to see me?"

"No! Didn't you get the message? Wasn't stabbing you enough?" He slapped my left cheek, too hard, I tasted blood.

"I see. Jonathan."

"Yes father" Jonathan said smirking.

"Kill her." Valentine said, without a care in the world.

"My pleasure, father" Jonathan said and walked towards me, Valentine walked out the room. Before I could blink Jonathan was on top of me, dagger in hand.

"Mom!" I yelled,"ALEC!" I screamed from the top of my lungs. I kicked Jonathan as hard as I could, I ended up falling off the bed.

I woke up as I hit the hard floor. In was sweating, I looked around the room, alarmed. My eyes scanned every corner of the room. I must have fallen asleep while drawing. The door burst open, I graved my sketchbook from the floor and threw it.

"Ow" Alec was standing there, his hand in his chest, where the sketchbook hit him. "Clary, are you ok?" He looked worried, "I heard you shout my name"

"I'm sorry" I said touching his chest, "I just had a nightmare," tears trailing down my cheeks. He wiped my tears with his thumb.

"It ok Clary, you're safe now" he wrapped his arms around me and I did the same. "I won't let anybody hurt you" he lifted me up and placed me in the bed, he kneel down and too my hand. "You OK now?" I nodded.

"Where's everyone?" I asked.

"My parents, Jocelyn, and Luke went to inform the clave that you're here," he said. "Jace is out, Max and lzz are down stairs with simon and Magnus."

"Where were you before you came in?"

"I was walking to my room. I woke up, went to get a drink, Izzy told me the whereabouts of everyone, and when I was walking to my room I heard you scream my name,"

"Thank you," I whispered, I kissed him in the cheek, we both blushed, I stood up and walked out the room.

"Clary" Alec said from behind me. I turned around, my green eyes met his blue ones. "Don't forget what I told you earlier, call me, no matter what time," he kissed my forehead and went down stairs, leaving me deep in thought about his beautiful blue eyes. I rushed down stairs. Alec was already in the kitchen, Magnus, Simon, Isabelle, and Max were there too.

"Clary! You want to eat?" Asked Isabelle, my eyes widen.

"I'm not hungry" I lied, Magnus and simon laughed at the face I made, Alec was trying to content his laugher, but he wasn't doing a good job.

"I didn't cook," Isabelle said annoyed at their laugher. I sat next to Max, he smiled wider.

Alec set two plates of macaroni and cheese, and two cokes, one for me and the other for him.

"Thanks" I said. As soon as I tasted it I knew Isabelle didn't cook them, not that I didn't knew before, Magnus and simon wouldn't let me die from food poisoning.

"Do you like them? Are they good? I cook them. Well, I helped. Simon and i cooked. He said I'm a good helper. Izzy wanted to help but we didn't let her. Magnus said he would help us, but he didn't. He said he was helping by watching, he said if we burned the kitchen he then he will help. But we didn't burn it. Can you cook? Simon said you can." Max said.

"Yes, the taste really good. And yes i can cook," I said, and smiled at the kid, he's so cute.

"Can you help me read Angel Sanctuary? Simon helped me sometimes, but you can help me now you are back?" How an I resist his cuteness?

"Of course I'll read them to you" he simile. Alec and i hold our gaze together, he smiled at me, his dimples showing, his eyes shining. His blue eyes seemed to be piercing though me, directly into my soul. I felt the need to get closer. I blinked, I blushed, so did Alec. We continued eating, without making eye contact. There was a awkward silence.

"So," I said breaking the silence, "are you still staying at Magnus's?" I asked Simon. He had been staying at the house Magnus got here at Alicante, the Clave had allowed them to stay.

"Yes," he said.

"So, did you guys solved the glitter problem?" I asked. The had fights over glitter, Simon complained that Magnus's glitter was allover his stuff.

"It got under control, since he didn't wear it that much over the last two months," simon said.

"Oh but I am going to, so you can start complaining tomorrow," Magnus said smirking. Simon face-palmed himself.

"Clary?"

"Huh?" Isabelle and i were at her room, we had been talking down stairs, but she said we should spend some girl time.

"How did you feel about Jace?" She asked.

"I'm over him," I said without hesitation.

"Really?"

"Yup, I'm so over him, it doesn't even hurt to talk about him," I said.

"I thought so. When Jace and Aline walked in this morning, you seemed unaffected. I'm happy for you, I don't want to see you hurt, you're my only friend."

"Thank you, Izzy" she jumped at the bed, next to me.

"You made me lose a bet ya know" she said. "Now I owe Alec a bag of skittles" I laughed.

"Next time you know not to make any bets when it comes to my fashion sense."

"Ha. Ha." She faked a laugh. "That shirt looks awfully big on you, Magnus think so too."

"Yea. Well, I like it."

"The shirt?"

"What else are we talking about?" I asked confused.

"Oh nothing."

APOV

Max and Clary were sitting at the couch, reading the manga, Angle Sanctuary. Simon and Magnus were talking or arguing, and Izzy was upstairs, taking a shower. And I was sitting across from Clary, looking at her while she read to Max. Looking at the way her face changed as she read. Looking at her while she moved her red locks out of her face. I was noticing thing about her that I hadn't before. Clary is beautiful, in and out. I will love to spend more time with her, we could get closer,maybe we could be friends.

It was weird, my feelings towards her. I felt an urge to protect her, since I found her. When I saw her crying. When she had a nightmare in the cave. She was worried about me, me! The earlier today, when she had another nightmare. I want to protect her. Then the strange feeling of wanting to be close. When I see her cry I can't help it but wrap my hands around her small body. The need I feel to hug her, to hold her while she cries. We slept in the same bed, I hold her while we slept, keeping her nightmares away. My thought were interrupted by Isabelle.

"Max!" She called while entering the living too. "The shower's calling you."

"But" he began.

"Max she can read to you later, tomorrow" i said, he looked at Clary.

"We could read tomorrow." She assure him.

"But what if she leaves—"

"I won't, I'm not."

"Not like I would let her" everyone's eyes were on me, "we, I mean, she just got back, no one is taking her again."

"Fine" max said and went upstairs. Magnus opened is mouth to speak but was interrupted by Jace entering the room.

"Missed me?" Jace said and sat on a chair. Magnus groaned, Simon and Izzy rolled their eyes.

"Not a bit, Blondie" said Magnus.

"Where's Max?"

"At the shower." I said. I turned to see Clary, she had her sketchbook in her lap, I couldn't see what she was drawing, but I guess no and can, from the position she was. She bite her lip, then she smile at her drawing.

"Oh right, Clary I forgot" said Isabelle, Clary looked up, she walked and sat next to her. "Jocelyn told me to gibe you this" she said handing her a phone.

"Oh, my phone" she said.

"What are.." Izzy tried to peek at Clary's sketchbook, but Clary closed it faster than anyone could blink. "Damn girl, I just wanted to see." Clary's cheeks flushed, only giving me more curiosity of what she had drawn.

"Clary, can I talk you," Jace said, Magnus and Simon looked at him like he was insane, he cleared his troat, "alone"

"Sure," Clary said. She stood up, to mine and Izzy's luck she took her sketchbook. She followed Jace to the kitchen.

CPOV

We entered the kitchen. Jace stood there looking at me. I was waiting for him to talk. He seemed to not find his words. I just stood there, hoping he would talk. I sat down in a chair, and set my sketchbook in the counter. I thought of leaving it at the living room but I couldn't trust their curiosity. I don't want them to see what I drew earlier; Alec.

"Jace?" I said, he cleared his troat.

"Clary" he began, " I want you to know that I'm sorry ok. I...I ... I don't know how to say this, I just... Angle, why is this so hard to say"

"Jace," I interrupted him, " it sounds as if you're breaking up with me. And we broke up three months ago."

"Yes, but I'm sorry, for hurting you like that."

"Jace, there is no need to apologise." I said. " it wouldn't have worked, because you didn't have feelings for me like the way it should had. I'm not blaming you, I would had done the same if I didn't have feelings for you in the way is needed in a relationship. After all we were together just weeks, we met but then Valentine made us believe we were siblings, and after we discovered the truth we were together just a few weeks. I'm over it, Jace. I don't have feelings for you."

"So are we good?"

"Yes," I assure him.

"Thank you Clary." He said, we exited the kitchen and went to the living room.

"Well, I must shower, this hair needs to be washed," he said as he ran his hand through his golden locks. And with that he went upstairs. I sat in the loveseat with Alec, since Izzy was lying in her stomach doing her nails, in the couch I had been sitting before.

"Are u sure?" Asked Magnus.

"Yes, I don't have feelings toward Jace." I repeated, simon and Magnus had gotten me alone, they started questioning me about Jace.

"Sou you son have feelings for him, at all" said simon.

"No, i don't have feelings to him, those feelings die and they are now buried," I said.

"Glad you moved on" said Magnus.

APOV

I rolled to the side, and groaned, no matter what I do I can't sleep. I can't stop worrying about her, about Clary. What if she can't sleep? If she has nightmares? She seemed really scare about her other nightmares. And I want to know what did Jace told her. She told me she was over him, but still it's killing me, why would Jace want to talk to her. Isabelle seemed to want to ask her, but then Jocelyn, Luke, and my parents got home. Jocelyn, Luke, and Clary left.

I rolled over so that I was now in my stomach, I buried my face in the pillow. Angle, am I going to be able to sleep? I think I know the answer to that. I think in going for a walk. I rolled off bed. I put on my black leather jacket, and my combat boots. I put my weapon belt and I took my stele. I sneaked out the house. I walked without bothering to look were. I put my hands in my pockets and continue walking, deep in thoughts.

When I first met Clary, when she went to the institute, she looked so fragile. Then I sew how brave she was when she went to Dumort, for her friend Simon. I was angry, at her and Jace. I was angry because I'm Jace parabati, we fight together, and he went without me, and Clary didn't know how to fight, she was in danger too. But she's brave, she stopped valentine from calling Angel Raziel. She had to put up with Valentine and Sebastian. That bastard, he beat her, he didn't care if she was his sister, that didn't stopped him. It disgusts me, what he asked for, to let me go. And she was going to do it, so I could live. But all the time she stayed strong,he killed Valentine and escaped.

I looked up to see where I was. I gasped as I realized where I was, in front of a familiar house. I have been her a few times after we went for a search. Amantis house. Clary is sleeping inside that house. I sat in a bench and looked at Clary's window. Then the light from her room was on. I saw a shadow in her window, she moved the curtain and I could barely see he, there wasn't enough light. She wiped her cheeks. Is she crying?

CPOV

After we left from the Lightwoods we came to Amantis house, Simon came with us too. After we talked a lot, he left to Magnus's. After that I talked to A mantis, Luke and mom. Then I drew on my sketchbook and took another shower. I changed into blue pajama pants and a white tank top. I sat on the bed, with my sketchbook and pencil in hand. There was a knock in the room.

"Clary, can I come in?"

"Of course mom" I said, she opened the door and came to sit with me.

"I know we had talked a lot today, but I wanted to talk about something," I knew what she meant.

"Mom if is want I'm thinking

"Jace. I know he hurt you, and I don't want

"Mom, I over it, I have no feelings for him. It doesn't hurt any more. It doesn't hurt to see or talk to him or about him."

"Are you sure, sweetie"

"Yes mom"

"Ok. Goodnight" she hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"Goodnight, mom" she closed the door behind her. I closed my sketchbook and turned the lights off.

I went to bed, and tried to sleep, but failed. I got my phone, I went through the contacts, there was Alec's number. He's probably sleeping. I rolled to the side. After an hour of trying the darkness of sleep finally took me.

I drive the dagger to Valentine's chest. He cried out in pain. He looked at me in the eyes. I twisted the dagger and got it out him. He's hands went to the wound in his chest. He fell in his knees.

"I—I j—just wanted my f—family back." Blood was coming from his mouth as he spoke. "I—I love y—you Clarissa, my daughter." He fell on his stomach, dead. He's dead I killed him.

"And I'm the demon," I turned around to see Jonathan standing there. "You killed your own father. You are worst than me, little sister."

I woke up cover in sweat, I turned on the lamp that was next to my bed. I sat up. No! He never loved me. He's lying, he never loved me. I couldn't stop the tears that were coming from my eyes. I stood up and walked to the window. I moved the curtain to look out. It was blurry because my eyes were filled with tears, I wiped my cheeks, which were wet from the tears. I moved away from the window, I sat in the edge of the bed. I heard a notice, itnwss my phone, I reached it and check it. It was a message from Alec.

Are u ok? Did you had a nightmare?

Yes to the 2nd question.

Can you open the window. why would he want me to open my window? I walked to the window and opened.

Step back. i was confused but did as told.

Then I was two hands holding from the window, he pushed himself up like it was nothing and was in. He stood there looking at me. He was wearing a v—neck shirt, and gray pajama pants. He had a unzipped black leather jacket and his belt. He had a soundless rune, which explained why he made no noise as he climbed up the window. Without a word he walked closer to me, we wiped the tears with his thumb. He wrapped his arms around me.

"What's wrong?" He asked, "what was it this time" he walked me to the bed. He lay me down, and cover me with the comforter. "Clary you can tell me."

"I had a nightmare, I stabbed and killed Valentine." I was sobbing. "And he said he just wanted his family back, and he said he loved me." He wrapped his arms around me again, comforting me. His embrace felt good. "Jonathan said I was worst that him."

"You're not. Clary it was just a nightmare, you are safe, and you at not a bad person." He kissed my forehead. "You did what you had to, you are nothing like Jonathan." I pulled him closer to me, he was now laying in the bed with me. I buried my face in his chest.

APOV

I manege to calm Clary, and she wasn't crying nor sobbing. She was still in my embrace, her face buried in my chest, her arms wrapped around me. I should leave, but I don't want to. What if she has another nightmare? I don't want her to cry again, it breaks me. For some reason seeing her cry hurts, too much. But I cant stay here. Not that Clary will want me to stay anyways. I should get going. I unwrapped my arms from her body, and sat up. I stood up, but i soon as i did arms were wrapped around me. Clary's. And her face pressed against my back.

"Don't leave please." Did she just say she wants me to stay? "Stay," she did.

"Of course" I said.

"You don't have to, you probably don't want to—"

"I do. I mean, I want to stay." I said, "should I lock the door?" She nodded. I walked to the door and locked it. I walked back toward the bed. Clary pulled me down we her, we were lying in the bed in the same position as before.

"Why were you outside?" She asked curiously. I was hoping she didn't ask just that.

"I—I went for a walk and I—I ended up here. Then I saw you in the window, wiping your cheeks, I thought you might have had another nightmare. So I texted you and you know the rest." I was blushing.

"Thank you," she wispered.

"Anything for you," i whispered back. She brushed my body as she reached and turned off the lamp. Our faces were too close, our lips almost touching.

"S—sorry" she said, and our bottom lip brushed as she spoke. She quickly lay down, her face buried in my chest. I couldn't help but give a small chuckle .

By the angel, we almost kiss! I smiled at the thought. I brushed her hair off her face and kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight, Clary"

"Goodnight, Alec" she whispered, she looked up and kissed my cheek.

We fell asleep like that. Her face in my chest, my arms around her and hers around me. And i felt happy to be with her.

Please review!

I have a question for you. I think there should be a love triangle, to make it more interesting. I think most of you think the same. So what about Sebastian Verlac the real one. And I think Sebastian should have a sister who likes Alec. Please tell me what you think.
