Chapter 4

Kayla's POV

"Wake up, wake up." Who is talking to me, I am so tired. I can feel someone shaking me so I open my eyes just a little bit and I see Clary smiling at me. I slowly sit up "What time is it" I say but I was tired so it sounded more like "wha ti i i"

"Around 6 am" why does she sound so happy? Its 6 am we should all be asleep.

"What do you want?" I say as politely as possible at this time of day.

"We decided to train you, like how to fight. You need to be able to defend yourself."

"Ok, fine" I slowly stand up. Ow, I hurt like everywhere. "I don't know how well I will be able to train because I think I have a bruise like everywhere on my body."

"Oh I can fix that" she grabs my arm and I look at it. My arm is purple. I must have gotten really beat up last night by that demon. She pulls out what looks like a twig and presses the end to my skin. She draws this thing and I can feel this stinging sensation on my arm. It almost looks like a tattoo. O gosh my parents will disown me if they find out.

"What did you just do to my."

"I drew a rune, watch your arm." I look at my arm and the bruises start to fade.

"Cool, let's go train." To be honest I am actually really excited, it sounds like fun. To have a purpose in life, I can't wait to get started. She starts to leave the room and I follow.

"We will have breakfast first; I will introduce you to everyone." We walk into what looks like a diner table. Everybody is already eating sit down next to clary and I see a few familiar faces. I can see Isabelle and Jace.

"That's Alec" she pointed to a boy with dark hair and blue eyes. "Magnus" a boy who was covered in sparkles, he looked at me and nodded. "That's Simon" he looked away from me, he must be shy. He looks kind of nerdy.

"Hi" I say to everyone. I notice the distinct couples in the group. It was really obvious they sat closer together and I think Simon is holding Isabelle's hand, cute.

"So how about you tell us what happened last night." Jace said with a smirk on his face.

"Well I was walking down the street and I saw this dark figure. I tried to walk away but it grabbed me with a tentacle. I pulled out a knife" then I was interrupted by Clary.

"Where did you get a knife from?"

"It was by the front door so I took it. Sorry but I thought I would need it. And I did so it's a good thing. Anyway I cut off its tentacles then stabbed it and it died."

"Well we still don't know who did this to you so you can't leave again without one of us." Clary sounded really concerned.

"I won't, don't worry" then we sat in an awkward silence for the rest of breakfast. I felt some strange want to yell out awkward silence. But I didn't. When we were done Clary stood up and gestured for me to follow. So I stood up waved and left.

We walked into this room that was high and really big.

"This is the training room." Clary said with enthusiasm. I noticed that Jace was following. He never leaves Clary alone does he? Clary hands me a sword, it is really heavy I can barely lift it but I don't want to seem weak. Jace picks up the same sword and Clary backs away.

"Try to defend yourself." My face must look really worried because he adds "I won't hurt you." But I did not trust him or his good looks.

He raises his sword and I do the same. He steps toward and slices right. I jump away but he is really fast and slices again. This time I hit my sword against his. It reminds me of when I used to play light sabers with my brother except this would really hurt if I got hit with it. We keep doing the same thing and I realize that I am walking backwards. I feel my back hit the wall so I start walking forward and making him back up. He knocks the sword out of my hand and I throw my hands up in the air and the next thing I know I am pinned to the ground, with Jace on top of me.

He quickly stands up and I stand up too. "No weapons go" he runs at me and I quickly think what do I do, am I slow runner. That's it; I do a backhand spring and land in crouch, thank you gymnastics. Jace is still running at me so I run at him. When we meet I wrap my hands around his neck and pull my knees up. He seems winded but then he tries to punch my face, does he not care I'm a girl. I dodge and kick his leg. I missed my aim but he still seems really pissed. I can hear Clary giggling, and I smile. He then grabs my arm and the next thing I know I am on the ground with pain in my back.

He is way better than I thought. I remember someone saying that he is the best shadow hunter, he must be holding back. I get up and say "Can I take a break"

"No" Jace said smoothly. "Now that I know your level I will teach you things. Let's start with balance climb up onto one of those balance beams." Again thank you gymnastics. I climb up and wait for instructions. "Walk across" okay, so I walk across but halfway across I do a cartwheel. I smile and walk to the end. "Fancy" he said as he climbed up.

"Careful" Clary yelled.

Jace handed me a sword and he walked out to halfway across turned around and said "come"

I walk out and hold my sword up. He seemed so natural on the beam; it is almost like he is on the ground. I notice our height difference; he is like 1 foot taller than me. "We will work on blocking I will make a move and you will block it." I nod and he makes a move.

I block it and we do this for a while. We start moving faster when one of his attacks packed a lot of force and I felt myself losing my balance. I tried to catch my footing but he attacked again and I felt myself falling off. I felt a scream escape my month and I heard another one from the ground. Luckily he has really fast reflexes because he caught me. My legs were dangling and I realized how high I was. He pulled me up and I walked to the platform. I sat down and focused on my breathing.

"Are you okay" Clary yells up.

"I'm good" the rest of training goes by fast. I never thought that I could be this tired. By the time it is over. I almost have to crawl to bed. When I got there I fall asleep before my head hit the pillow. But I was not going to have a good sleep.

Thank you so much for reading, Super Ultra-Smiley Face! The next chapter is more exciting. Please review!
