*Pokes out her head from the corner* Hey... Is there anyone still there? I'm so sorry guys, I really am. I've been wanting to write all week but I didn't have any time. Forget about all my updating dates, I don't know where I'll update, I'll do it everytime I have a second.

from Ravenclaw: Yes, he's very dead.

Chapter seven: His girl.

Jace drove to the mall in silence, and Clary didn't talk either. She looked out the window, wishing she could be out there and not inside his car.

When they got to the mall, Jace took her hand, holding it tight. Clary looked at him, surprised.

"What? Don't think is because I like you, I just don't want you trying to escape again, I don't feel like running around the mall" She sighed, and they walked holding hands.

She looked at their reflection in one of the showcase at the store, and they do looked like a couple just spending the day together in the mall. She felt sick, because holding his hand felt like having a handcuff around the wrist, and tried to let go of his hand, but he squeezed hers. He wasn't letting her go in more than one sense.

After twenty minutes of just looking showcases, they finally entered to a store. A girl walked to them

"Hi, my name is Kate, what can I do for you?" She had a big smiled. Too big to be real

Clary looked at Jace, like silently asking if she should answer. He didn't looked at her before talking "We're looking for a formal dress, and a coat. Oh, and a purse too". Clary sighed. I can't even pick my clothes now.
The girl looked at Clary for a moment before saying "You look like a two.. Come with me, size two is this way" Jace let go of her hand and she walked with Kate through the store.

She looked at the size two dresses, not seeing anything she would wear. Anyway, Kate had other plans. She began taking dresses and passing them to Clary, not even asking for her opinion. When Clary coudln't hold any more dresses (she had ten in her arms), Kate lead her to the dressers, pushing her inside one and closing the curtain. Alone for the first time in the day, Clary sighed. She put the dresses on the chair and took one, champagne color without straps, and put it on. She poked her head out the curtain, looking for Kate, and found Jace seated in front of her dresser, waiting for her to show him.

She got out and stood in front of him "Turn around" he said. She did as she was told, and then he said "No". She walked back to the dresser and took of the dress.

The fifth dress she tried was black and way too short. She felt like she was trapped into a second skin and was reluctant to show Jace. She showed him anyway, and regretted it instantly when she saw the lust in his eyes. He looked at her for a few seconds, then said "Although you look damned sexy in that dress, I'm the only one who should see you like that. Try another one"

The eighth dress was red, and Clary didn't want to admit it, but it looked very well on her. It reached the floor, with just one strap over her left shoulder, and made her skin looked even paler and her hair looked even more red. It had only one problem: She couldn't reach the zipper on the back.

She poked out her head, praying for Kate to be outside. She wasn't "Umm Jace, could you call Kate? I need her to help me with the zipper"

He half-smiled, and walked into the dresser, closing the curtain behind him. "Jace, what are you-" He cut her off, turning her around so she was facing the mirror.

She looked and felt his hands reaching for the zipper in her waist, pulling it all the way up her back. He took the oportunity to kissed the side of her neck that wasn't covered for her hair, sending chills down her spine. Then he took a step back and looked at her eyes in the mirror "We take this" he said, before pulling the zipper down and walking out the dresser. She stood there confused for a few seconds before stepping out the dress and puting her clothes back on.

Jace payed for the dress and also bought her a black coat like he said he would. They didn't found a purse in that shop.

They kept wandering the mall in an akward silence, but still holding hands. They went to a shoe store on the second floor and Jace bought her five inch black heels that helped her reach just under his chin and a little purse matching her shoes. They walked out of the store, Jace holding all her bags.

"Are we done?" She asked
He smiled "Not even close" he said.

They spent the rest of the day buying all kinds of clothes for Clary; Jeans, shorts, t-shirts, skirts, shoes, tank tops, underwear (Jace got into her dresser again while she tried a Victoria's Secret bra), hoodies, jackets, everything. He also made sure she had make up and perfume as well. By the end of the day, they were seated on a table, drinking coffe and surrounded by 64 bags. He had spent more than 8.000 dolars on her.

"You didn't have to bought me all this, it wasn't necesary. I could have survived with the clothes I already have"

"I know. But you're my girl now, so you'll have only the best. Besides, I wanted too". Just like that. Another demostration of his power on her. Clary didn't know if he had said it on purpose, but the message was clear; I own you, and I can do whatever I want.
