Clary's Pov

Chapter 5: People missing, Demons and Betrayal

I woke up with a headache. My neck was throbbing with pain making me groan. I opened my eyes to meet gold ones staring right at me full of concern. Jace? Hm…first time I've seen him when he wasn't acting like an egotistical jerk. I tried to sit up only to groan and lay back down.

"You shouldn't have tried to sit up." chastised Jace. Did I miss something? He is acting strangely out of character.

"Well I see that you couldn't be bothered to at least warn me not to get up." I snarled.

"That's true but what good would that cause? You would just ignore me." He pointed out.

"….I guess your right." I sighed. That's when the pain intensified. It started from a pain to burning flames. I gasped at the sudden intensity of the pain. My vision started to blur. The world was spinning uncontrollably.

"Alexis are you alright!" I heard Jace's concerned voice. I opened my mouth to reply but no words came out only a moan of pain. Jace's eyes flashed with worry. He grabbed his stele and drew to hasty marks on my arm. One for healing and one for invisibility. I looked over to see I was in the meadow right next to my house. I saw police going to my building, but they had skeleton hands. Uh oh, this is worse then I thought. I can only go by Alexis so long before I have to reveal my identity as the black cheetah. My eyes were fluttering, opening and closing. I started to feel sleepy, ever so slightly. I closed my eyes completely and was immediately met by darkness.

Jace's Pov

I looked down on the girl in my arms to see she has already lost consciousness. I need to get to the institute as soon as possible. I ran, faster then I ever have before, increasing my already blinding speed. I was truly worried for this red head. In truth I had an unhealthy interest in the strange mundane. I looked down once more to see her looking peaceful, as if she was sleeping. I had the urge to kiss her forehead and move the red locks out of her face. I stiffly looked away trying very hard to not give in the sudden want to touch her. I felt drawn to her, in a way I can't really explain. I saw the institute straight ahead and increased my speed even more. I was there in a second the door already opening to me. I burst into the room and ran to the infirmary. I yelled for Hodge, who burst into the room seemingly startled at the urgency and loudness of my voice. I quickly explained and he went off to brew one of his elixirs. I was pacing around the room when Isabelle and Alec came inside. They looked at my worried pacing and then at the bed and confusion dawned on their faces. I waved my hand, a signal saying I will explain later. Hodge rushed in once again, carrying his elixir and quickly and carefully gave it to the unconscious girl. It scared me how worried my feelings are about this girl. As if I was worried about Isabelle or Alec, only I was more concerned. I couldn't take it and went off into my room to try and calm down. "She will be ok, she will be ok", I chanted in my head. I sighed, it isn't working. I just wonder why I am so concerned. This has never happened to me before.

Three Days Later

Clary's Pov

I opened my eyes to see a familiar room. Ah, I was in the infirmary of the Institute in New York. I shook my head and mentally chastised my self. I can't visit one Institute without having to have at least one visit to the infirmary. My throat felt parched and dry, not to mention it ached horribly. Probably due to the deprivation of water or any liquids. Just as I was about to get up the girl Isabelle strode in.

"Hm... I wonder if she ever will wa- Oh! You're awake." She said shocked.

"Awake? How long was I out?" I asked

"Three days. Oh, here Hodge our tutor told me to give you this when you woke." She handed me a small glass full of liquid. I took one sip and almost gagged. That was disgusting! But I somehow managed to drink the rest of it. I was feeling suddenly better. I smiled at Isabelle.

"Thanks." She smiled in return.

"Your welcome." Right before she went out the door she turned around.

"Oh, I almost forgot. You can go and explore the institute if you want and choose your room to stay in. Oh and I'm going to lend you some clothes. Jace burned them. Maybe later we can go shopping for some clothes that fit you better then mine." I grit my teeth. He burned MY CLOTHES!

"He BURNT MY CLOTHES!" I yelled.

"Yeah, he said it was purely precautionary." She rolled her eyes.

"Mhm, lets see how 'purely precautionary' he is once I'm done with him" I growled. Isabelle laughed and shook her head.

"Hey, if I'm not there when you do it, take pictures. Wait in matter of fact, video tape it for me." I grinned.

"Will do Isabelle."

"You can call me Is or Izzy if you want."

"Ok Issa-Izzy." I smiled; I think I'm going to like this Isabelle girl, very very much. She smiled back and strode out of the room. I went to the bathroom to see that she already has her clothes in their. I found a tight shirt and some destroyed black skinny jeans. Not a bad outfit. I took a quick shower and dried my hair before trying the clothes on. To my surprise they fit perfectly. Hm, I'm going to have to thank Izzy later. Once my hair dried I went out of the infirmary to look around. I heard soft piano playing in the background. I followed the melody and found Jace playing piano. I frowned; I had a faint memory of someone else playing the piano in a very similar way. I shrugged off the thought.

"Alec, is that you?" He answered softly. Huh, ok retake. Is this Jace? Jace Wayland known to the clave fore his fighting and jerky attitude?

"No, it's me, Alexis." I replied, stepping out of the shadows.

"Ah now it is my turn to call you sleeping beauty. Who kissed you awake?" Ah, there is the real Jace. I was wondering if I got the wrong person and I was talking to his twin brother. Or I was dragged into an alternate universe. I secretly pulled out my phone to video tape it.

"Nobody, I woke up on my own."

"Well you should have waited a little longer. I could have been the handsome prince." I rolled my eyes and slapped him. Then I slapped him on the other cheek leaving them with very red hand marks.

"What the hell was that for!" He demanded. I smirked.

"The first one for being egotistical. The second one for BURING MY CLOTHES!" I yelled.

"It was-"

"Purely precautionary" I mimicked. I must say I did do a very convincing impersonation. I slapped him again leaving an even bigger red mark.

"Stop doing that!"

"And if I don't?"

"I-I-I will…."

"You will what?" I stared at him with a smug expression. Gotcha. Then I caught him looking at my lips. WTF is wrong with him! Like seriously! I slapped him again before striding out of the room, but then remembering that I said I would take pictures or video tape. I stopped my phone from recording and went right up to him and took pictures. Hah Izzy will laugh her butt off when she see's these!

"Ah, and our sleeping beauty awakes." I turned around and saw Alec. What is it with the Lightwoods and calling me Sleeping Beauty? Seriously! It's getting annoying!

"Yes, and without her princes kiss I might add." I said sarcastically. Like I wanted anyone to kiss me. Alec sensing something happened laughed.

"What did Jace do?"

"Oh, I'll show you" and I pulled out my phone. He laughed when he saw how red Jace's cheeks were. It looked like he had just been booed off the stage with flying tomatoes.

"Hah well you served him right Alexis."

"You're damn right Alec. And you can call me Alex."

"Ok Alex. See you around."

"Yeah, sure, sure. Oh Alec, have you seen Isabelle?"

"Oh yeah, she's in her room. The door to your left that says 'Alec and Jace stay the fuck out of my room or you're going to get it!'" I laughed and walked towards the door. I knocked once and Izzy stepped out.

"Alexis!"

"Hey Is, and you can call me Alex. Btw, I got the video"

"No way! Already!"

"Yup! Here let me show you." I replayed the tape and showed Isabelle the pictures. I sent them to her and Izzy saved the pics on her phone. We laughed and talked about girl stuff and having fun getting to know her. Yup, I defiantly like this girl. There was a knock on the door and behind it was Jace. Wow, stalker.

"What are you now my own personal stalker or something?"

"No, but you wish I was."

"In your dreams. What do you want?"

"Me and Hodge want to talk to you in the library.

"Ok then. Hey Izzy ttyl."

"Bye Alex" Izzy said. I walked with Jace to the library in silence. All that was heard was our footsteps. We finally had entered a library with a huge amount of books. I looked at them in astonishment.

"Hello, you must be Alexis. Jace why didn't you tell me she was a book lover." A huge man with a raven stood on his shoulder. Ah, this must be their tutor, Hodge. Hm…now where have I seen his face before? He seems strangely familiar.

"I might add that we didn't get the chance to talk much about our interests Hodge."Jace replied calmly.

"Ah, well, you have a good point there. Silly me. Now what is your theory Jace about Alexis?"

"Well you see I drew two marks on her arm after I found her. A demon had got her and bit her neck. And here she is perfectly fine. Not to mention she and her friends could see through the glamour and that she killed a demon in Pandemonium."

"You marked her! Jace you know how risky that is!"

"Yes I do but I had my reasons."

"Get to the point Jonathon Christopher." I froze. That was the name of my brother. And Jace I knew was not my brother. I mentally shook my head. Ah, Wayland here thinks he is Jonathon Christopher, my brother. Strange thing is that would be impossible because in order to find or here that name he would have to have been raised by….Oh no. Valentine. My eyes were wide. He was the third experiment.

"Well, I think that Alexis here, may have shadowhunter blood."
