Clary P.O.V

Argo was grazing outside the mansion; I was sitting by the window in the library. The last place I saw my mother alive. I cried silently for what seemed like hours, I missed her so much. It felt like I was a jigsaw all muddled up with pieces missing. I heard a creak, drawing my knife I spun around. His golden hair was illuminated by the light behind him, his gold eyes shining with one thing. Love. I dropped my knife and we ran to each other. Our lips met, fierce and needing. His hands gripped me tightly like he was worried I'd disappear. We drew apart, panting but still gripping each other.

"I'm so sorry, Jace. I- I just-" I didn't know how to end my sentence so I just buried my face in his neck.

"I'm just so so glad you're okay, Clary, when I thought you were- were dead- I just felt like my heart had been torn from me. Please never leave me again." I nodded, not wanting to move. I just wanted time to freeze here, where everything was right. Me and Jace were together. However that wasn't the case. A knock sounded on the door.

"Sorry guys, but we need to get going. And there's a tiny problem-" Isabelle started.

"Go away, Isabelle." Jace snapped, I pulled away to look at him. His features were dark.

"C'mon Jace. Don't have a go at her. We have later, I'm not going anywhere." Jace smirked at me.

"I know you're not." There was mischievous glint in his eyes, I backed away. Isabelle was laughing and I cast her a worried look. "C'mere!" He scooped me up in his arms, planting kisses along my neck.

"You two are so cute together. But, there's still the problem." Jace continued his kissing while I tried to look serious.

"Sure- erm- what's the problem?" I had to hold from shivering, Jace was teasing my neck. Nipping now and then.

"Sebastian, he's with Jonathan. Well was. The Angels took Jonathan and well Sebastian is after you, Clary." Jace growled against my neck and I wiggled in his arms so he'd put me down. He did and I began pacing.

"What? Why? For what? Are they hurting Jon?" Jace was watching me closely, it made me feel self concious. "Oh. He wants to kill me? Does he believe in the Prophecy?"

"Clary, calm down. You're making me nervous. He doesn't want Hell to take over. He was working with Jonathan to- erm- help get Jace out the way. He wants you." I snarled and punched the wall.

"Hey! Don't do that." Jace was cradling my hand, kissing the knuckles.

"Hypocrite." I mumbled. "We need to go and I have to find some place to stay." Hurt flickered in Jace's and Isabelle's eyes. "What? Maryse won't want me around."

"She doesn't have a choi-"

"Jace! Don't speak of Mum like that. And anyway because I'm the best, I talked her into letting you live with us." We all turned to look at Alec. I raised an eyebrow. "Thank me later" he grinned.

"So, we ready to go?" Isabelle asked. I shook my head and went outside. Argo came over, shining and beautiful.

"I have to go again buddy." I took his saddle and bridle off and laid it on the ground. "You're free now." He rubbed his head against me affectionately and I cuddled his neck. "Go on." He didn't move so I waved my hands. He reared once and cantered off whinnying.

"Come on, angel." Jace held out his arm. I put my arm through it and we walked toward a sparkly man, Alec and Isabelle.

"Who are you?" I asked. Jace laughed along with Alec.

"You're transport." I grinned.

"Portals? I'll race you." He laughed and held out his hand. "Deal...?"

"Magnus Bane." The Lightwoods looked at us like we were mad, maybe we was. I got out my stele and nodded to Magnus, he started weaving magic while I drew a rune on the wall. A portal stepped up and I walked through.

-LINE-

Five minutes later the Warlock and Lightwoods arrived.

"Impressive, shadow hunter" I winked and looked left and right. Something didn't feel right.

"Clary! Thank the Angel you're okay. I was so worried." Sebastian. He walked up till he was directly in front of me. Alec was murmuring to Jace to 'stay calm'. "You are okay?"

"No." A look of confusion settled on his face. I took my chance; I slapped him with all my might. "You ever, ever try that shit of yours again and you will be dead. Even if, if you 'got Jace out the way' you actually think I'd get with you? Be serious. Working with Jonathan? That was just low." Then I thought back to my death. "Oops. I was meant to be nicer to you. Oh well, shit happens." Sebastian was opening and closing his mouth as if he wanted to say something but didn't know what. I didn't care, I turned back to the others who were staring at me. "What?"

"I like you. You're pretty awesome." Magnus said matter-of-factly. We all got inside the Institute, Sebastian trailing far behind.

"I'm going to make some food. Be in the kitchen in half hour." Isabelle confirmed, Alec and Jace groaned whilst I just shrugged. Jogging to my once temporary now permanent room I changed into some shorts and a vest top. The vest top I had to knot in the corner so it was a bit tighter, unfortunately it showed a bit of my stomach. Right now I just wanted to hide myself. I grabbed a jacket and sneaked to the training room and shut the doors firmly behind me. There was a newly hung Punching bag in the far corner, I let out a few punches before I got fed up. I jumped onto one of the beams on the ceiling and sat, my legs dangling over the edge. Someone else walked into the training room, heading straight to the punching bag. Soon the person had removed their top and was throwing punches and kicking like hell. They obviously didn't know my presence so I wolf whistled loudly. They turned around and I saw it was Jace. He looked around before shrugging and turning back.

"Baby, you ignoring me?" I asked in a faked hurt voice.

"Clary, where are you?" He was facing the darkened room now, I leapt to another beam and dropped down in front of the punch bag. He had a nice back. He turned back around and smirked when he saw me.

"Minx." He looked at my short shorts and vest top and grinned. "Well, fancy seeing you here. Did you follow me in?" I laughed.

"No you followed me in" he stepped closer, putting his hands on my hips. He moved in for a kiss but I put my hand out, "Na ah. I'm in here to train."

"I'll train with you. I can teach you many, many things..." He winked and I felt my heart flutter.

"Bring it" Jace lunged at me and I dodged. I went to hit him but his arm came up to block it. "Touché."

"Do we have to train?" he smirked and I dropped my hand, then threw him backwards. Before he could get up I straddled his waist, I bent down and kissed him lightly. He groaned when I pulled away too soon. His hands were stroking my thigh, slowly working their way up higher. When a throat was cleared.

"Sorry to interrupt young lovers but dinner is ready. I have to admit, I didn't think you had it in you Clarissa." I flinched at Clarissa.

"Call me Clary. There are many things you don't know Magnus Bane" I winked and he chuckled. "Jace, calm yourself..." he smirked and rolled us over so he was on top. My legs wrapped around his waist, arms around his neck.

"What's keeping you lot- whoa. Sorry guys." Alec had come to the training room. "Magnus stop watching."

"If I wasn't gay I'd have to test Clary on her statement."

"No mine." Jace mumbled. Magnus laughed before hauling Jace off me. I jumped up to the roof and got my jacket I'd left up there.

-LINE-

"Sorry Izzy but this is not food." I said looking at the brown lump on my plate.

"Well I'm sorry why don't you cook?" I shrugged.

"What does everyone like?" They all looked at me like I had just grown an extra pair of arms.

"You cook?" Alec asked, I gave him a duh look.

"I love you even more. Lasagne." I walked to the kitchen and started cooking. "No cheating with runes either!" Jace called from the other room. I finished preparing the lasagne and was just waiting for it to cook. I looked out the small kitchen window daydreaming when a face appeared. I screamed and shook my head. Fuck. Raphael was staring at me with a pissed off expression. Jace came running in.

"What the fuck?" He had a seraph blade in his hand. "Who's that?"

"Head of the Vampires" Magnus supplied. "Why's he here, Clary?"

"I have to go talk to him, Lasagne's ready." Even to my own ears my voice sounded dead. I walked to the door to have Alec blocking the way. "Excuse me." I didn't look up, just stared blankly.

"Sorry, no can do. Erm Jace, want to help?" I was trying to step around him but he kept moving.

"No you don't, angel. Now, what have you done?" Jace's gold eyes searched mine.

"Made a deal," I didn't meet anyone's eyes.

"With him! Are you mad Clary? You know what he wants- oh. Please tell me you didn't? Shit, Clary!" Magnus was looking at me like I was stupid.

"What? I don't understand, what's going on? Magnus? Clary?" Alec sounded desperate.

"Alec, go lock Clary in her room. She's been very stupid." I felt Jace's tension. Alec slung an arm around my shoulders and steered me away, and I waited. Waited for Jace to go mental.

Jace P.O.V

"How mad am I gonna be?" Magnus didn't either bother to say I wouldn't b angry. I prepared myself for the worst.

"I'm sure Clary had a really good explanation to do something stupid but don't hurt her Jace Wayland. Raphael is the head vampire; he's liked Clary from the beginning. The one thing he wants but could never get is a wife, a princess of darkness." Magnus said bitterly. My fists were clenched so tightly it hurt, but I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "The only thing he would make a deal for would be- well a wife."

"Well he can't have her. She's mine." I snapped. Magnus grinned, his cat-like eyes lighting up mischievously.

"Defensive. Please don't hurt Clary, she probably thought she was doing the right thing." I nodded once.

"I'm going to go talk to her. Laters, Mags." I stalked down the hallway to Clary's room. Alec stood outside, presumably guarding.

"You okay? What's going on?" He looked worried and scared. He'd never liked vampires.

"Go ask your boyfriend." A blush worked its way to his cheeks and he walked off. I silently opened the door and stepped in. Clary was by the window, focusing on something on her lap. I crept over and peeked over her shoulder. The book snapped shut.

"Shouldn't sneak up on people, ya know." She still hadn't turned around.

"Shouldn't make deals with psychotic vampires." I replied simply. She sighed, a sad sound that made me want to pull her into my arms and take it all back.

"I'm sorry, okay? It wouldn't of happened anyway. I- I love you. Not him."

"Tell me exactly what happened, what you were planning, everything. Please Clary, I'll try to understand."

"I went to Raphael, I've known him a while. I thought that if I was a vampire, the Prophecy would be different . He didn't want to do it at first so- so I said I'd do anything." She looked away and I took her hand, letting her know I was still with her. "He said- he said I'd have to be his wife if I wanted to turn. I agreed. I knew I wouldn't be able to live with it but once you'd- you'd- gone- I'd kill myself."

"I understand but Clary? Talk to me next time I'm here for you. Now what's in the book?" I wanted to change the subject, I didn't want her upset.

"I like drawing. Me and Mum used to love art, she used to encourage me to paint but I always preferred sketching." I desperately wanted to see the pictures, know more about her.

"Can I see?" She blushed, a beautiful sight. I smirked, "are there pictures of me?"

"Yeah..." I chuckled, and held out a hand. "I haven't shown it to anyone else before, Jace. It's like my diary." I nodded understanding. She surprised me by taking my hand and placing the book in it.

"Clary, are you sure? I don't mind if it's a bit too personal." She nodded and leaned in to kiss me, her sweet lips met mine lightly. I needed more. I gently put the book aside and pulled Clary to me. We kissed with so much passion, my whole body was burning with it. We broke apart, foreheads leaning together.

"I love you, Jace" she whispered, my heart did little flips. I smirked.

"Who doesn't?" she laughed quietly. "I love you so much, Clary." She grabbed my hand and pulled me up, she went to walk out the door but fell back. I walked forward cautiously but didn't have a problem.

"MAGNUS?" I called. He appeared alongside a flustered Alec.

"What's wrong?"

"Clary can't get out." He looked at me confused.

"C'mon Clary, stop mucking around" I watched her walk forward but fall back again. I walked forward and faced the same problem.

The window flew open and a mundane came in. "How the hell?" I yelled. The guy grabbed Clary and pushed her to the window where Raphael grabbed her. She called my name as he dragged her out the window and took her god knows where.
