Previously-

Her smile widened and she replied: " I'll be staying with you guys for awhile. I might go to Maine I might not. I mean there are tons and tons of things to see here in New York." She glanced at Jace and her smile widened. Bitch. " Oh and by the way, I'm Aline's cousin."

Clary

My eyes widened. This – this – this bitch is Aline's cousin? Your shitting right? Your shitting? " Your Aline's cousin?" I asked. I had to because this girl, could not be Aline's cousin. And she dated Jace too! Unbelievable. Well, believable because every girl was after Jace. But this was bad. Very bad.

She smirked, cocked her head to the side, pursed her lips and batted her eyelashes. " Why yes Clare! I am." Her smirk didn't falter, but her eyes narrowed and she raised an eyebrow. " Did you not just hear my words?"

Who gave her the freaking right to call me Clare?

"I heard you Viv." I replied. When I called her 'Viv' she looked like she would lunge and kill me with her perfect manicured nails. "But its sooo hard to believe, because, well, you look nothing like her." I pretended to look sad, but Vivian could see right through it. I almost bursted out laughing right then and there.

" For some reason Vivian doesn't look Asian. Because some Shadow Hunters don't look like their family at all." Alec interjected. He nervously glanced at Jace, who was looking at me searching my face for I don't know what.

Vivian was glaring at me through her oh-so-fake smile. And I was glaring at her with my own fake smile.

Vivian walked over to me until we were less than an inch apart. "Its so nice to meet you Clare." She stuck out her hand. I didn't take it and she put on a fake pout.

" Your like family to me already!" I squealed. Vivian's eyes narrowed. I gave her a big hug and whispered in her ear. "Mess with Me and Jace and I'll hunt you down." Jeez, I wasn't acting my normal self. I mean, I was threatening a girl I just met.

Vivian whispered in my ear. " Bitch, you should know that he's mine and nobody can take him away from me. Not even a little ugly ass child like you."(Ouch!) She pulled away, smiled dangerously, and winked at me. " I think we're going to get along great Clare!" She announced aloud.

I hated her so why should I care what she thinks? It still hurt. I smiled back. " Oh Viv, we're going to be B-F-F-L's!"(In case you guys don't know, that means "Best Friend For Life")Her eyes narrowed, but she smiled and nodded eagerly.

Jace seemed to get the picture and walked over to grab my hand. Finally! I was beginning to wonder if Vivian and I would have to settle this the old-fashioned way: Seraph Blade style.

Vivian pouted and grabbed Jace's other hand.

Bitch.

" Jacey -" Vivian began.

Faster than the speed of light Jace pulled away and surrounded her in a nearby corner. " If you ever call me Jacey again I will hurt you."

Ya gotta love Jace.

Vivian nodded and sniffled. " Okay Jacey – I mean Jace."

Jace nodded and was at my side in a nanosecond, and held my hand. He nodded toward Izzy and Alec and Magnus to start heading toward the Storage door. Vivian started to trail behind.

I'd show that Jace was mine for the keeping. Not anybody else's.

Jeez, I'm definitely not myself today. Huh.

As we all walked toward the storage closet door I pretended to fall forward, I was still clutching Jace's hand, but this time clutching it with dear life. Jace quickly saved me from falling. I clutched his shirt tighter and yelped. I made my knees shake and I pretended I would start to faint. I felt myself falling, but Jace picked me up bridal style and carried me like he was saving me from the apocalypse or something.

Vivian glared at me.

I closed my eyes and laid my head on his chest. This was much more easier than I thought. Yay! Well, I guess I better start tallying up the scores, because Vivian was grabbing the gold, while I was already clutching it.(It means that she better start adding up how many points they get for doing something to get Jace's attention. In this case pretending to faint. Vivian wants Jace but Clary already has him. Get it?) Clary: 1. Vivian:2 (Vivian gets 2 because she calls him Jacey, she still will even though Jace told her not to, and another point for kissing him on the cheek. I mean come on, no normal broken up couple kisses another on the cheek. )

I felt Jace's chest vibrate when he spoke aloud, " Alec, put a invisibility rune on all of us. Now."

After a second of two I felt something cold trace a pattern on my arm. Alec.

"Jace," I whispered, trying to make my voice sound as vulnerable as possible. What the heck was with me? "I'm going to be alright, right?" I felt his gaze upon my closed eyes as we exited Pandemonium. I made my lip quiver. He can't -sadly- deny anything while I'm doing it. I learned that about three months ago.

"Yeah Jacey, she's going to be alright, right?" Vivian, the bitch, said.

I felt myself tense. Was it instinct or something? No. Jealousy. Rage. Hate. Fury. All fighting instincts. Jace must've felt myself tense because all of a sudden I feel Jace's hot breath in my face. " Clary, I love you. No matter what. I love you. Always and forever."

I felt tears threaten, even though my eyes were closed and my hands were clutching his black t-shirt. I held them back though.

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?! Why did Jace have to be so tempting? Why did Jace flirt with every girl alive? Why did he let girls flirt with him? Why is he so friendly to his other ex-girlfriends -except Vivian, for a reason I don't know why- ? Why did he lure girls so easily into his little player trap even if he wasn't interested? Why did he love me if he could have any other girl he wants? Why me?

" Jace. I'm tired, take me home." I said.

" Clary, I'm not taking you home until I know that Jocelyn and Luke are at your house." Jace said sternly.

Why did he have to make this so hard?

" Now." I said. I opened my eyes to see Jace staring at me with: desire, curiousity, and most of all: Love.(Awwww....)

Izzy was talking to someone on the phone. Magnus and Alec were talking quietly amongst themselves, while holding hands. And Vivian...well, lets just say that if looks could kill I would've been dead the second she walked in and spotted Jace and I kissing.

" No. I'm sorry, no." He said.

" Fine." I said. I was too tired to protest. I mean, who cared if I slept a century or two? A girl needs her rest. It also meant I could keep a closer eye on The Bitch as well.

Jace continued to carry me as we walked toward the Institute in my demon-blood splattered clothes.

Why couldn't we just take a taxi? Oh, right because -lucky us!- we're invisible.

Jace

We continued to walk towards the Institute while I carried Clary. I didn't mind carrying her. She felt right in my arms. I felt... complete.

If someone told me six months ago I would've fallen in love with a ShadowHunter with an ordinary mundane's training I would've laughed in their faces at how absurd that would be. But the day I met Clary, everything changed. Legit.

Flashback:

" That was...weird." Alec said raking his fingers through his black hair.

Izzy nodded, "Yeah, we're gonna have to keep an eye on her. We have to tell Hodge about the little mudane midget girl -"

"She's not a mdget Iz!" I said loudly to her, almost yelling. Alec looked at me weirdly, as did Izzy.

Jeez, that was weird of me.

The girl with shining red hair was beautiful. Her green eyes were piercing. And she could see. But she was a mundane.

Or was she?

Only other ShadowHunters could see. Besides the usual Warlock, or werewolf, or pixie, faerie, or the occasional vampire, etc, etc. The Angel Raziel said to Johnathan, the first ShadowHunter, over a thousand years ago that only others like him and demons and other creatures, like the warlocks and faeries and wolves and vampires, etc etc. So basically you could only see if you were meant to. The rest couldn't. No matter what. Its possible that she was a ShadowHunter. Her Mother or Father could've been a ShadowHunter but fell in love with a mundane and left to be with him / her. Its possible.

Alec was still staring at me weirdly when we finally reached the Insitiute. "What?!" I snapped I immediately felt guilty. I didn't apologize though. I never do. Alec looked away.

Once I was inside the Institute I walked straight to my room. Isabelle and Alec could tell Hodge about the seeing-mundane.

After all, I didn't care about her.

End of Flashback

I laid Clary on the bed in my room once we were inside the Institute. By the Angel, she looked so beautiful and peaceful. Like she was finally at peace when dreams consumed her from late at night into the early hours of dawn.

I walked to my bathroom, turned on the shower and peeled off all my clothes. The cold water relaxed my tense muscles.

After we entered the Institute, Izzy was talking to someone only the Angel knew. Most likely Simon or some new mundane toy that she saw at Pandemonium.

Alec went to the Institute only to grab something – that only the Angel knew – and left with Magnus to his apartment. Nobody wanted to know what they were up to.

Vivian kept asking annoying questions that really got on my nerves. I loved Clary, not that bag of shit I left years ago. Couldn't she get that through her fucking tiny brain already? I just wasn't interested in her anymore. Well, all of them couldn't get it through their heads because I'm just to hot for anyone's eyes except for Clary of course. After Vivian retreated to a room right next to Aline's. Which was two rooms down from Aline's parents room.

I wonder what it was like for Clary to see Aline after Idris. Did she still remembered of how I tried to forget she as my thought-to-be sister and kissed Aline? Well, her face was fucking surprised and a little jealousy and anger were combined in it. God, I was going to lose her. I mean first Aline comes and then Vivian?!

Things were just going to go downhill from here.

Well, Aline, Vivian, and Aline's family were going to Maine.... But if there's one thing I know about Vivian, its that if she wants something she doesn't stop until she has it. I mean, she killed a mundane because she wanted a dress that cost $350 but she didn't have enough money and no glamour as well, so she killed the mundane and ran away with the dress. She doesn't stop. And I'm not an idiot, she wants me. And she'll go to extreme measures to get what she wants, even if that means eliminating Clary. Forever.

I stepped out of the shower and dried myself off. I put a pair of pajama bottoms and climbed in next to Clary. I was just fully aware that she was still wearing the demon blood soaked dress, even though she was sleeping soundly. I was tempted to take it off of her, but stopped myself. Then I realized it: she was too tired to change. She had to get attention. And fast. Very.

I stayed up watching her sleep until faint light started to come through the windows. Clary stirred and turned around. I decided I might as well go to sleep.

I was going to need it for what was coming ahead.

I had to cut this in half because I didn't want to make it as Long as my other chapter....

Anywho... thanks again to: Serenity Shadowstar you are the best idea giver in the world – or for this story- lolz.

Sorry for the lack of updating(even though it was only about a week) I was busy. I am working on the next chapter right now. I'm like two pages into it when I realized it was getting to long....

Press that little green button on the bottom of the screen, and review for the sake of the story.

Izzy: I swear if you even think about hooking up with Vivian I will whip the shit out of you.

Jace: I wasn't thinking of it.

Izzy: Good, because you can't hurt Clary that way.

Jace:....How about whipping the shit out of Vivian?

Izzy: Good Idea. * leaves room * VIVIAN! I NEED YOU FOR A SEC!
