Ok so I have figurd out the plot for most of the rest of the story : )
disclaimer: Cassandra Clare owns the characters
"Clary? What on earth are you doing here? You're supposed to be in New York. With Jace." Joe said looking down at his shoe's.
"Change of plan I guess" Clary said
"Wait, do you guys already know each other" Sophie asked
"Clary lived in the institute in New York" Joe said, and started to walk out the door. Clary turned to Sophie and gave a small smile. Just after people walked up behind her.
"Oh, so you're going to need an introduction to the rest of these guys." Sophie said "this is Troy, my older brother." Troy walked forward and shook Clary's hand "and this is Kate, his girlfriend" a girl waved and walked over to Troy. "This is Steven, Kate's little brother." A little boy, around 9 walked forward and gave a small wave. Clary smiled back to him. "And my mum and dad aren't here right now, but they stay here sometimes, when their not in Alicante. Oh, guys, this is Clary. She's going to be staying with us for a while."
They all walked outside and were hit with a blast of heat. They walk down the beach for a little bit, then went into a restaurant. When they walked in they sat at a booth and a waiter came over to take their order. "The usual?" he asked. There was a murmur of yeses and then he looked up and saw Clary. "New girl eh, what can I get you new girl?" He asked "oh, I'll just have some pancakes and a strawberry milkshake" Clary said "Can do" the waiter said and walked back to the kitchens.
"So, tell us a bit about your self Clary" Troy said. "Well, uh, my names Clarissa Morgenstern, and I just came here from New York, and I'm 19 years old" Clary said. "Wait, like, the Clarissa Morgenstern?" Kate asked
"uh, yeah I guess" Clary answered
"Wow, so you can like runes and stuff" Steven asked
"Yep" Clary said, starting to feel self-conscious. Just then the waiter came back the food and Clary welcomed the silence. Once they had all finished they went back out to the beach.
"Who wants to go swimming, cause I want to go swimming" Joe said. It was the first thing he had said since he saw her, and she was relived. They all strip down to their togs and went out to the water. Clary drifted off from the group, and she saw that Joe was coming closer to her.
"Why are you here Clary?" Joe asked
"I made a horrible mistake. Just had to get away from it all" Clary said
"Why here, why to me" Joe asked
"Cause I wanted to go somewhere where I knew someone. And you said if I ever wanted to talkā¦" Clary said
"Ok, so talk. What happened. What was your big mistake" Joe asked
"I'm not sure you want to know that" Clary said
"Well, I'm here as a friend now, and friends tell each other secrets" Joe said
"I slept with Jace" Clary said very quickly and very quietly
"What was that" Joe asked
"I slept with Jace" Clary whispered. The colour was draining from Joes face.
"I was drunk and sad cause you broke up with me and confused cause you said I should be with him and, uh, it just happened, but, you know, he kind of cheated on Lydia, and that makes him still a cheater, and I just had to get away" Clary said very quickly as to try and get an explanation out.
"well" Joe said slowly "I can see why you came here, but are you sure that was your best move?"
"I just wish I could forget about him and all that shit." Clary said. Then she remembers the window in the bathroom, the weird dream, the rune.
"Yeah well, I'd like to forget a lot of things to, if you find a way, let me know" Joe said, and swum back to the larger group. Clary was thinking hard. What if the rune was like the one Jace got. Would that really be that bad. He seemed happy, and free. Maybe it would be worth the risk. And anyway, Sebastian was dead, wasn't he? Clary had made up her mind. She was going to use the rune. Tonight.
When they got back to the institute, Clary finished unpacking her bag and setting up her room. She drew, listened to music, train and studied a little, and before she knew it, it was dinner time. She went to dinner but didn't pay attention to anything. The image of the rune was burned clear in her mind, and three words kept repeating themselves over and over in her mind. Remember to forget. She helped clear all the dished and clean up and then she went up to her room and shut the door.
She sat on her bed and held her stele in one had. She lifted up her shirt and began drawing the rune on her rib. She liked the way the stele burned. It was a welcoming pain. One that made her stronger, made her better. It was a rather complicated rune, so it took some time to draw. When there was only one line left to draw she heard a knock on the door. She ignored it, but the door opened anyway. There stood Joe looking at the rune she was drawing. There was a confused look on his face. He obviously didn't recognise the rune.
"Remember to forget" Clary whispered and then drew the final line. She thought she heard him yell Clary, but wasn't too sure because she had blacked out.
Hope you liked it, please review.
