A/N: This is still from Clary's POV because I liked the way the story flowed from her view. Thanks and keep reviewing!! This chapter might be a little short…but…I'll try to extend it a bit! =D

aquamysticwriter: Thank you for the review! I was originally planning to only post this next week, just to see if I'd get any more reviews, but your review made me change my mind! =) So, here's the chapter! Hope you like it!

midnight-rambler: Thanks for your review as well! It's because of the two of you that I posted this! Hope you like it!

The next chapter will probably wrap up the story (and you'll probably see why after this chapter!) I'm not planning-yet-on writing any more MI fanfics, although I'd love to! It's mainly that there are a lot of them, and I'll have to come up with an original idea. I'm planning on writing a Harry Potter fanfic though, about Hermione/Sirius/Draco. Its not finalized, but once its put up, I hope that some of you (who like Harry Potter) may be interested in reading and reviewing it! I'm also working on writing a story, like a regular story. The prologue is up on , so if any of you have an account there, please try to see and review it! Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this! Hope you enjoy the chapter! ;)

Chapter Seven:

Clary's POV

"You see Clarissa, you haven't seen to the fact that Meliorn must be gone before your friends can be released," she said smugly.

I could've laughed out loud in relief. Pulling my stele out of my pocket, I quickly made a portal, before turning to face the Queen. "The portal you requested m'lady?" I said sarcastically.

She looked pointedly annoyed, and Meliorn blew Isabelle a kiss before departing.

"I'll be coming soon Meliorn! Possibly tomorrow! Alec got to leave early too! We'll be together soon-aahh!" she called after Meliorn, as the ropes binding her gave away and she fell to the ground in a heap.

I rushed to her side, gently helping her up. I was sure she was going to look angry at seeing me, but she merely smiled. Jace, who was also being held captive, was released, and he was at my side is a flash, holding me close, and whispering so that just I could hear, "I'm glad you're ok. You were wonderful Clary," he said, twirling my hair in his fingers.

The Queen coughed loudly. "As you have been granted permission to leave, I ask that you go and don't impose on our hospitality any longer!"

"Oh! I beg to differ! Your Majesty!" Isabelle said mockingly. "You see, hospitality, is being kind, and treating your guests with respect. Now, I don't know what your definition of respect is, but my definition definitely isn't kidnapping your guests, making them watch their boyfriend suffer, blackmailing their friends into coming here only to capture them again, and blackmail them to do your bidding.

"So, a more, let's see, fit, way of asking us to leave, would be, 'Since we have been ungracious hosts, and you probably do not wish to stay in this foul place any longer because we have behaved very badly with you, you might just want to leave. Feel free to chuck tomatoes at our face on your way out as well!' That would be much better!" Isabelle screeched smugly at the Queen.

If I had thought the expression on the Queen's face when Jace had talked back to her had been expressionless, it wasn't even a quarter as good as this one. The entire court was speechless, and their faces mirrored the shocked expression on their Queen's face as well. Jace chuckled, clapping Isabelle on the back, and I looked at her in awe.

"Very well then," the Queen said after a few minutes. She had finally regained her composure.

I couldn't believe my luck. I had just witnessed the famous Seelie Queen drop her regal and composed expression, twice today, when no living being had practically ever seen it drop on her in a millennium.

"I think it would be prudent if you left now, before things get more heated. And, seeing as you don't have any tomatoes on you now, I would suggest that you leave, and if you insist, you may come back and chuck them at us in pleasure," she said smiling as her Court laughed.

Without a word, the three of us left the Seelie Court, and made our way back to the Institute.

"Isabelle, I'm really sorry. All this was my fault! I really hope you aren't mad!" I said pleadingly.

Isabelle was quiet for a few minutes, before she said, "You know what Clary? I have to thank you, for getting us out of there so quickly."

"But its my fault you were there in the first place! If I hadn't refused the Seelie Queen's offer, then you two wouldn't have even been in that position!"

"You know Clary, if you hadn't refused the Seelie Queen's offer, I wouldn't have met Meliorn again, and we wouldn't have gotten together again. If you had accepted it, he would've been stuck in Idris, and I never would have found my true soul mate," Isabelle said softly.

I felt tears forming in my eyes. "You're really not mad at me?" I asked, almost not believing it.

"No," she said, enveloping me in a hug.

Then, she got one of those sly expressions on her face. "In fact, I'm going to the supermarket."

"What? Now? In the night? Isabelle, please don't tell me we're going to have to go back home and eat your cooking, because I'm not hungry at all!" Jace said quickly as his stomach grumbled.

"My cooking isn't that bad you know!" Isabelle said crossly, pouting her lips playfully. "Besides, who would want to cook at 1:30 in the morning?" Isabelle asked, checking her watch.

"You never know. You might get the sudden urge to watch us fall sick and die of your poisonous and horrible cooking!" Jace teased.

"Well, I'll leave you, Clary, with this obnoxious brat, while I go to buy some tomatoes!"

"Oh my god! You can't really be thinking of going back to do that…can you?" I asked shocked.

"Why not? I'll be going to Idris tomorrow, and only Meliorn can beat me up there, and he won't!" she said happily.

"But Isabelle, as much as I would love to see you do it, it's still a dangerous idea! I don't think you should do it. You've seen what the Queen can do. We'd better not mess with her again!" I said worried. "You won't do it, will you?"

"Ah! We'll see," she said, her eyes twinkling mischievously before running off towards the supermarket, which was unfortunately open 24/7.

"Jace, I have a bad feeling about this!" I said looking up at his perfect face.

He leaned down to cup my face, and kissed me. It was a quick kiss, with only our lips slightly brushing one another, but it was enough to make me dizzy and the heat of his body spread like a flame throughout me.

He chuckled. "Let's go home Clary. To the Institute."
