Hello lovelies!
Oh how I missed writing this story! I have fallen in love with CLALEC. I know some of you have too.
And about the story getting repetitive, yes I know, but that's because Alec and Clary are falling into this routine like a married couple, they're getting close.
~Language~
Get ready for a plot twist!
Chapter 9
CPOV
I threw the dagger and it landed right in the center of the target. I felt someone stand behind me, but I didn't turn to see who. I knew how it was as soon as I heard the person laugh. I just grabbed another dagger from my belt and threw it to the target. This one –like the other three, landed in the center of the target.
"You know, that's not even that impressive," I heard her say.
"Good day Allison," I said, my voice neutral. "How are you doing in this fine morning?"
"Like you care," she said and grabbed a dagger from her own belt. She threw the dagger but it didn't quite land in the center.
I turned my head to hide my smirk. I grabbed another dagger from my belt and threw it; it landed in the center just like the other ones. Allison looked at me furiously and threw another dagger, this one landed at the edge of the target.
"Allison," Sebastian stood next to me. "What are you doing? You have never been good at this, you're just making a fool of yourself."
"Clary," Allison said, her tone confident. "Grab your sword, let 's do some training." Judging by her tone she just wanted to beat me at sword fighting.
"Clary, you don't have to-"
"Okay," I said cutting Sebastian off. "Let's do it, Allison."
"Al," Sebastian said in a warning tone.
Allison brushed him off and grabbed her sword. I grabbed my sword just as Jace and Aline came and stood next to Sebastian, asking him what was going on. I stood in position, across from Allison. I heard Alec's voice and glanced to the side. He and Isabelle stood by the others. I sent Alec a wink and a smile. He smiled back, shaking his head; he was the only one who had seen me fighting.
I turned my attention back to Allison. I observed patiently her position and the way she flexed. She looked at me in the eye, I nodded, she nodded back and we started. She ran towards me and I ran towards her. Our swords clicked together forcefully.
As we moved about, our swords clicking together; sweat dripping from our body from the previous trainings and now for the current situation. Things got more intense. We were moving faster. The room had gotten quiet; I could hear our swords clicking. My eyes had sharpened during my stay with Valentine and Jonathan. I notice more things. I notice and calculate every of Allison's moves. I knew where she would strike next.
I must admit that Jonathan trained me well. He taught me all I know and made me a useful Shadowhunter. That's the only good thing I have received from him, good training.
I found the perfect opportunity to end it. Allison made a bad move, I flickered my wrist , my sword pushing against hers, I flickered my wrist again making her drop her sword. I pointed my sword to her chest. I had won. I heard people clapping, that's when I noticed that everyone that had been in the room had stopped training to watch us. I lowered my sword and picked Allison's from the floor. I have it to her and extended hand to shake. She was red furious. She stomped her feet and turned around marching madly out the room.
"You really are amazing Clary," Alec said and kissed me.
"Allison is furious," Sebastian said. "Ah I'm gonna have to deal with her bad mood for the rest of the day. But she deserved it. You're really good Clary, Allison is best with swords and you beat her."
"You were right, Alec, when you said Clary was really good," Jace said.
"Badass Clary," Isabelle laughed.
I could feel Alec's breath in my neck, making me shiver. The warmth of his hand on mine gave me a feeling of happiness. The sensation of having my body pressed against his was overwhelming. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before opening them again. Alec pressed his lips on the back of my neck, making me gasp. My heart was beating faster. Alec kissed all the way up to my ear.
"Let go," he commanded. And I did as told. I let the arrow go and it when flying full speed. It landed right in the center. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "You did it," Alec whispered in my ear.
"You did everything," I said breathlessly. Alec laughed, that beautiful laugh. He kissed my neck and chuckled. "You'll do amazing in a couple of days." I lowered the bow and turned my head to look at him.
"Well," I said, regaining my voice. "If you keep distracting me and touching me like this I doubt it." Alec laughed again.
"I'll try," Alec said. "I'll try to not to distract you like this," he sucked on my neck before continuing. "But it will be really hard not to when I have you this close."
Alec took the bow from me and placed it in the large table beside us. He turned me around and kissed me in the lips. It was a very passionate kiss. He placed his hands in my waist as he kissed me passionately. I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me. Our bodies were pressed together. Alec moved his hands down to my thighs, my signal to jump. I jumped and wrapped my legs around him. His hands went to my butt and I felt myself redden.
Alec pushed the bow aside and sat me down on the table. I had my legs wrapped around his torso so that our bodies were still flushed together. His hands went inside my shirt making me shiver from sudden contact. We pulled away from the heated kiss, out of breath. Alec moved his lips down my jaw and to my neck. He bit and sucked on the flesh, marking my pale skin.
I slipped my hands inside the front of Alec's shirt. My heart was beating faster. Under my palm I could feel Alec's fast heartbeats as well. I ran my fingertips up and down Alec's chest and stomach.
"Alec," I whispered.
"Yes?" he murmured against my skin.
"Can-" He pulled his hands out of my shirt, and I pulled mines from his.
"I'm sorry," He interrupted me and looked up. "Am I moving too fast? I am."
"No, no, not at all," I said. "Just don't stop kissing me."
He looked at me in the eyes before kissing me again. His hands went back inside my shirt and mines inside his. My hands explored his muscle toned body. Alec kissed from my lips down to my neck.
"Take my shirt off," I said breathlessly.
"Are you sure?" Alec asked looking up at me.
"Yes."
Alec kissed me in the lips before removing my shirt. I felt insecure for a second but my insecurities banished when Alec kissed my upper chest. He trailed kisses down to my stomach, as he whispered "beautiful".
"You're so beautiful," Alec said. "So perfect."
I could have gone red, but I already was as red as one can be. Alec caressed my cheek and kissed me. I tugged his shirt and he pulled away to take it off. I licked my lips at the sight. I pulled Alec in and kissed him hungrily. Our hands were on each other, exploring our bodies freely.
"Guys we're leaving- oh shit sorry." We pulled away just to see Isabelle closing the door behind her.
"Oh my god," I said with wide eyes. I quickly grabbed my shirt and pulled it on. Alec did the same and tried to fix his hair. I pulled my hair into a pony tail and with a last quick kiss we left the room.
"Where did Simon go?" I asked. Isabelle and I had come to the house Magnus and Simon where staying. We were all just talking then I went to the bathroom and Simon was gone.
"He went to the kitchen to cook something," Isabelle said. "I was gonna do it but he said he's got it"
"Oh," I said, knowing why Simon had offered to cook, may the Angel bless him.
"Let's go to my room," Magnus said.
"No, Magnus, we're not having a threesome with you," Isabelle say making me cringe.
"Oh, by the name of Lilith no," Magnus said. "You wish you cold het this." He pointed at himself. Isabelle and I laughed.
We went into his room and he walked directly to the closet. He came out holding two dresses. He handed one to Isabelle and the other one to me.
"I saw those and I know you'll both look perfect on these."
"Thank you," Isabelle and I said at the same time.
"It's nothing," he said. "Try them on." He told us and left the room.
I went to the bathroom to change and Isabelle changed in the room. When we were both done, we let Magnus back in. Magnus did our make up as well. He did Isabelle's first. He was almost done with mine.
"I'll add something else," Magnus said. He grabbed a jar of glitter and opened it.
"Oh no," I said. I tried to get up and ended up knocking the jar from Magnus and It fell on my head. "Fuck."
"Oh my god," Isabelle laughed. "You're covered in glitter!"
"Lunch is ready!" Simon entered the room. "Clary- uh I don't even wanna know. Let's go eat."
We sat in the kitchen to eat. I could tell they were trying not to laugh at me. I was covered in glitter and when I moved glitter fell down from me.
Once I was done eating Isabelle and I left. We parted ways, I had to go take a shower at Amatis. I saw Alec standing at the door I smiled at me and he smiled back. He then looked at me strangely.
"What?"
"Are you covered in glitter?" he laughed.
"Shut up," I said and opened the front door. No one was home. We walked upstairs to my room.
"Something tells me Magnus had something to do with it."
"No shit." I said. Alec laughed. He went directly for the bed as we entered my room. "I'd kiss you, but I have glitter everywhere," I told him.
"I'm good," he laughed. I gave him a look but laughed too.
"I'm gonna take a shower."
"Okay," he said, not moving from my bed. I rolled my eyes and went to the bathroom.
I tried to take as much glitter as I could from my hair. Then I stripped down and jumped into the warm water. I washed off as much glitter as I could but there was still some in my hair. It's like when you use glitter in kindergarten and its everywhere, even in your cat.
Once I was done I turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. Then I realized that I hadn't grabbed any clothes. I cursed under my breath and stood there for five minutes. Then I realized I wasn't a warlock and clothes where not going to appear out of nowhere.
I sighed and opened the bathroom door, walking out into the room. Alec looked up and stared at me once he noticed my state of clothing.
"I forgot my clothes," I said.
I felt Alec's eyes on me as I grabbed some clean clothes. I bit my lip and swallowed thick before speaking.
"Are you gonna kiss me or are you going to sit there looking at me," I said.
Alec nodded and got up from the bed. He walked towards me and kissed me. He placed his hands in my back and I wrapped mined around his neck. We kissed passionately. I moved my hands inside his shirt and he moved his to my thighs. I moaned at his touch. His lips moved to my neck and he started sucking and kissing the skin.
We heard the front door close and we pulled away immediately. I ran back to the restroom to change. I heard my room's door open.
"Oh, Alec," I heard mom say. "I didn't know you were here. Where's Clary."
"She's um in the shower." Alec responded. There was a pause and I could almost see my mother raising her eyebrows at him. "She was at Magnus' and somehow she ended up covered in glitter."
I was all dressed and opened the door.
"Hi, mom."
"Glitter?" She said.
"Yeah," I said. "It was all over me, there's still some in my hair."
"Did you two had lunch already?" She asked.
"I did," I said.
"Yeah me too."
"Okay, I'll be down stairs." Mom said. "No funny business."
"Mom!"
She laughed and closed the door behind her.
"Isabelle kept giving me knowing looks," I said.
"I know," Alec said, burying his face in my hair. "She won't leave us alone for a while."
We stayed in a comfortable silence, just cuddling in his bed. The stars were shining in the sky outside the window. This was now our little routine, and I wasn't complaining. I love sleeping next to Alec. I love how we take turns to sleep at each other's rooms every night. I love falling asleep next to him.
"Can you teach me more tomorrow?" I asked.
"Yeah, sure."
"Yay!"
"By the Angel, you're so cute," Alec said and kissed me my cheek.
"No I'm not," I blushed.
"Yes you are."
"I'm tired," I yawned.
"Let's go to sleep," Alec said and pulled me closer to him.
NEXT DAY
JPOV
I watched from the shadows. Alec and Clary were trained in an open field behind the Accords Hall. My fists were red from anger. I had seen Clary leave Alec's room this morning, through the window. Then an hour later Alec had gone to Amatis house and left with Clary to the Accords hall. The others had been there with them. Sebastian was there as well. Oh Sebastian, I thought they'd never find him. It took them long enough.
"Let go," Alec instructed Clary as he watched her from a couple of steps away. The arrow almost hit the center.
"By the Angel you're good," Alec said. Clary smiled and kissed him.
I had watched enough. I grabbed my dagger from my belt and a bottle of demon poison. It was from the same demon that had attacked Clary and poisoned her a while back. There is no cure for the poison. Most of the time the Silent Brothers and Warlocks can't do much when someone is bitten. Victim can rarely survive this. Clary did, because of her Angel blood. I dropped the clear liquid poison into the dagger and approached the couple. I put the dagger back into my belt.
Clary was the first to see me. She had no time to speak before I tackled Alec to the floor. I punched him in the face. Clary jumped on top of me, knocking me off Alec. We rolled down the grass and I landed on top of her.
"Miss me, little sister?" I smirked down at her.
"Fuck you," She barked back at me. Her beautiful red hair was covering her face.
"Language," I scolded her.
"Get off her," Alec pushed me over and grabbed me by my shirt. I kneeled him in the stomach but he managed to punch me in the face.
"Why? She likes me on top," I smirked.
"You're sick!" Alec yelled and punched me in the stomach.
I grunted and launched at him. I tackled him to the floor and punched him twice. I rolled off him and kicked him in the stomach.
Something hit me hard in the face, Clary. Oh, did I teach him how to punch. I tried to grab her but she elbowed me in the nose, making it bleed. I slapped her across the face, hard. I grabbed her by the hair and kneeled her in the stomach. She coughed and dropped to the floor. Alec was getting up but I kicked him in the face, then the stomach. I lifted Clary up my shoulder, I grabbed the dagger to stab Alec but Clary scratched me. I moved my hand on reflex and cut her leg with the dagger.
She punched me in the face and kneeled me in the stomach making me drop her. Her leg was bleeding. I grabbed her by the arm just as Alec by my neck. I slid the dagger across his chest, not deep because clary kicked the dagger from my hand. She tried to punch me but missed, which meant the poison was taking effect.
Clary fainted just a few steps from us.
"CLARY!" Alec yelled.
He slammed my head down a rock. I saw blurry for a second. He was losing his strength too. He checked her pulse and lifted her head to his knees.
"Clary," He said.
Alec was losing consciousness as well. I rolled over to my side and grunted in pain. They sure hit hard. I'm proud of Clary, I taught her well. I heard steps and then a gasp.
"Clary! Oh my god!" Isabelle yelled. "JACE! SIMON!"
I breathed in and out. I knew that there was no way I could take Clary now. I had to run. I got up as fast as I could. Isabelle gasped and her eyes widen. Alec tried to say something but he lost consciousness. I ran out to the forest and used Father's ring to transport to my hiding place.
I collapsed on the floor and rolled over. I gritted my teeth in anger as I remember them kissing and how things had gone all wrong. I wasn't supposed to poison Clary. I was supposed to only poison Alec and take Clary with me.
"But I'll have you, Clary," I said out loud. "I need you to balance my demon."
I touched the back of my head and hissed. I looked at my fingers, which had blood now. I got up as I could and made my way to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. I had blood in the corner of my mouth and cheek, and in my nose too. Clary had scratched me in my left cheek, which was bleeding. I had bags under my eyes from my lack of sleep, due to that nightmare…
I shook my head to get rid of my thoughts. It's just a nightmare. A bad dream. A strange dream that hunts me at night. I stripped and jumped in the shower to get rid of the blood.
"Just concentrate Jon, I know you can do it." I heard her sweet voice say.
We were sitting across each other, our legs crossed and my eyes close. I smiled when she called me Jon. She had called me that the fourth time she came to see me. We had stayed quiet for a moment and then she told me I better like it because she would call me what she wanted and I had to deal with it.
"Jonathan, stop smiling and concentrate!" She smacked the back of my head.
"Ouch," I rubbed the back of my head.
"Think of good things," she said. "The beautiful sunny days. The birds singing in the morning. The sound of the waters. The fun times we have every time I come. The sweetness of the chocolate cake I baked you this year when you turned eleven. Think of the birds we watch fly happily and free. Think of the day we run away. The day that we'll be free. When no one will force us to do things we don't want to." She placed her hand in mine and I opened my eyes without thinking.
"I ruined it again, I opened my eyes- Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Your eyes! You did it Jonathan!" She hugged me tightly. "They're green. Green and beautiful."
"I did it?"
"Yes, you did it." She said proudly. She handed me a mirror. "Look at it yourself."
I looked at my reflection in the mirror and saw a pair of green eyes staring back at me. Green, not back. I had green eyes. I put the mirror down and looked at her golden eyes. I smiled and she smiled back at me.
"Father can't know about this," I said.
"Hopefully he doesn't come to you for another week so you can stay with your green eyes."
"He won't," I told her. "He's with the other boy."
. . .
"Jon?"
"Yeah?"
"When can we run away?" she asked. We were lying in the grass, looking at the stars.
"I don't know we're barely eleven," I said.
"I remember the first time I came here." She said with a smile on her face. "I followed Valentine all the way here. Then I saw you. I had to leave so he wouldn't see me. But I came back a week later."
"I remember I attacked you when I caught you watching me." I said. "And we noticed we knew the same fighting moves."
"We were ten," she said. "Maybe we can leave when we turn fifteen."
"Maybe."
. . .
Her blond hair moved with the wind. She was lying on her stomach, supporting herself up with her elbows. I sat next to her, admiring her beauty. I don't know when I started to notice how beautiful she is. Maybe it was after we turned thirteen. That was a year ago, we're now fourteen.
"Do you have to finish the whole book?" I asked her.
"Yes. I was supposed to be done with half of it before Valentine was back last week." She said without looking up from the book. "But I was just in chapter four. He wasn't happy."
"Is that why you have that bruise in your cheek?" I asked. She nodded.
"I hate it when he hits you."
"He doesn't like it when I disobey him."
"And you do it all the time," I pointed out.
"Of course," she smiled. "I will not be his perfect experiment."
"Have you been in pain again?" I asked her, concerned.
"Yesterday." She admitted. "He left the day before. I was in pain yesterday, so I had to wait until this morning to come."
"You should have waited one more day," I said. "You still don't look well.
"I missed you," she said, finally looking up from the book.
"I missed you too," I said. I leaned closer, without thinking. I pressed my lips against hers. I had never kissed anyone before, neither had she.
"You kissed me," she gasped.
"I'm sorry," I said once my brain started working again. "I don't-"
She pressed her lips to mines before I could continue. We pulled away as it started raining. I grabbed her hand and we ran inside. We started laughing as soon as I closed the door. Our laughter died down as we stared at each other's eyes.
"You're eyes are so green," She said.
I do the change before and after Father leaves so he won't catch me. He can't know I have learned to control the demon inside me. I'm can only be myself when she's here.
"And yours are so beautiful," I said making her blush.
"Wonderful," We froze as we heard the voice. Father came out of his hiding place, clapping. "You thought you could fool me for long?"
I took her hand, she squeezed mine. I saw fear cross her eyes as she stared at Father. He was staring back at us with a hard look.
"I came back today, this morning, you didn't look so well when I left," He said looking at her. " I knew it was the blood inside you, fighting again. But I came back to find the house empty. I looked for you and I did not find you. So I came here. You would have seen me enter but you were busy kissing outside."
"You have always been stubborn," He told her. "Always disobeying me. But you Jonathan? She corrupted you. Would you explain to me, how are your eyes green? How long have you been hiding this from me?" he yelled.
"It was me," She spoke up. "I did it to him."
"No! Father she's lying!" I said. "I learned to control the demon, It's not her fault."
"You're the right combination but you're so stubborn!" he yelled at her. He grabbed her by the arm and yanked her away from me.
"Let her go!" I yelled angrily. "You will not hurt her!"
"From how long have you been coming here?" He yelled at her and shook her by the shoulders.
"Since I was ten," She whimpered.
He slapped her across the face and dropped her to the floor. I launched at him and he kicked me in the stomach knocking the air out of me.
"Don't hurt her! Hurt me not her!" I yelled.
"She deserves punishment," Father said. He then looked at me in the eyes. "You love her…"
She looked at me and I looked back at her. I did. I love her.
"You cannot love!" Valentine laughed. "You're a monster. She won't love you back. Only I can love you." He grabbed her by the hair and forced her to her feet. I tried to get up but he kicked me in the ribs.
"You'll never see her again," He said. "When I get back you'll receive your punishment."
"NO!" she screamed. "Jonathan! Jon! Don't let him take me please! Please! Let me go!" she cried. "Valentine, please! Don't hurt us! Don't hurt him! Let me go! I'll be good!"
She was screaming and crying. I saw the desperation in her eyes. She kicked and trashed around but Father had a firm hold on her. I was in pain, physically and emotionally.
"It's too late for that sweetheart," Father said coldly. He kicked me again and placed a cloth in my face, covering my nose and mouth. It smelled of something strong. I trashed around but passed out listening to her screams.
. . .
Third person POV
"No!" Jonathan woke up screaming.
He was covered in sweat, breathing heavily and crying. He was crying. They're like memories, he thought. He tried as hard as he could to remember her, but it only tired him.
"It's just a nightmare," He whispered to himself.
He touched the scars on his back, without thinking. He always did that after having the nightmare.
But he wasn't sure. He had a feeling inside his chest, and he felt guilt. He felt guilty for not helping the girl with blond hair and golden eyes. But there was something else. He couldn't explain the feeling in his chest. He didn't think he has felt something like this before. But that's what he thought. He went back to sleep. But if he had looked at himself in the mirror he would had seen green eyes.
BOOM! PLOT TWIST!
TAKE IT IN, CRY OVER IT.
What do you guys think? I had this prepared since chapter 1 and now I'm so excited I finally wrote it. I almost cried when Valentine took her from Jonathan.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
READ: If you have any questions please ask. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in Jonathan's dream.
Review!
No spell check.
