Chapter 6: Revealed Secret

Clary's Pov

I stood frozen in place. Shoot, shoot, shoot. I'm going to have to reveal my identity sooner than I thought. I cannot tell Hodge and Jace. It is too soon. Quicker than an eye I had put on my glowing necklace. That might at the very least give me some cover up. Jace and Hodge turned around to see my reaction.

"Um…well it's possible. My mom always seemed to try to keep something from me but I highly doubt she would hide something that big. The demon must have been a mistake." I lied smoothly. As I looked back down at my arm I noticed that my mark hiding me as a shadowhunter was fading. Damn, it's just not my day. All my runes were exposed in one second and Jace and his tutor stood shock stricken with wide eyes. Busted. No, scratch that. Busted big time! It was a surprise enough that I had runes but the runes I have nobody has ever seen before. Jace watched as my mark faded away leaving no scar behind. The only recognizable rune on me would be the one for my perfect agility and grace.

"Hehe, um, busted?" I laughed nervously.

"You-You're a shadowhunter!" Hodge exclaimed.

"Yeah now that we got that established it's probably a good idea to tell you who I am. Hi, I'm the black cheetah." I held my hand out to Hodge as my appearance changed. I had long, straight, midnight black hair and the regular shadowhunter clothing. My eyes turned from emerald to a golden yellow of a cat. This is my appearance I have when I am the "black cheetah". This is not my real appearance though. My real appearance is my green eyes and red hair but I can't have anyone recognizing me now can I? Not since Valentine knows of my existence and lucky for me, the clave has no idea that a Clarissa Fairchild/Morgenstern even exists. For all they know Valentine and Jocelyn are both dead along with my brother. After Hodge shacked my hand I turned around to see Jace still in shock. I smirked.

"Ah, surprised to meet the person who beat you at being the number one shadowhunter of our age?" I said smugly.

"No, actually I was thinking about asking you to a match with me. I want to see what everyone is so fussy about with you back in Idris. Apparently you gave the Clave quite a scare as well." Jace amended.

"Alright, but you may want to wear some padding."

"I don't think so. I'd rather experience the pain at full, if you can kick as hard as you can slap." I grinned in anticipation and motioned for Hodge and Jace to come with me to the training room. I gave Hodge my phone to video tape the match. Jace got his seraph blade ready while I had my whip curled around my hand.

"Good luck. You'll need it." Jace said. Oh no he didn't! Oh I was going to lessen how hard I fight but now, it's on!

We started pacing around one another in circles daring the other to make the first move. My seraph blade practically materialized in my hand and I slashed Jace's cheek. His eyes god wide, probably not expecting me to be so fast. Ah, one of the reasons I love having more angel blood then others. He came at me with abnormal speed for a shadowhunter but I blocked with ease. I was faster and he did not like that one bit. I blocked and attacked ever so gracefully, my moves lithely moving from one to another, executing more strength with each movement. I noticed Jace getting tired so I let him slash me with is blade once, only to be healed immediately by my necklace. He slashed going to my blade, I twisted my hand so mine would wrap around his and pushed forward making him drop it and rendering him weaponless. I pointed the seraph blade to his neck. His cheeks flushed more, his breathing very quick and uneven. He still had to my amusement, the mark my hand had left on hi m. "Dead", I muttered before turning to Hodge to stop the video. I grabbed my phone and strode quickly to Isabelle's room feeling Jace's stare drilling holes in my back. I knocked on Isabelle's door, which immediately opened. She gaped at me, clearly not recognizing me.

"Who are you?"

"Jee Izzy, I'm hurt. I really am. I can't believe you don't recognize me, especially after me slapping Jace. Did I mention he still has a red mark on his cheeks." I said with mock hurt.

"Alex? But how…" She questioned.

"Long story. But to cut it short, I'm the black cheetah!" I exclaimed.

"No way!! Omg I heard that you are the MASTER of the whip! I've been dying to go to Idris to see if I could get you to teach me!"

"Yes way! Thanks Is and sure I'd love to teach you! But first I have to go back to my home quickly get some things."

"Ok sure. Do you want me to come with?"

"Nah, I'll be ok. Thanks for the offer though."

"Welcome and kay, see you later." I strode away going to the Institute doors. I saw Jace stand in front of it blocking the exit. Ugh, here we go again.

"Jace, can you please move away from the door." As much as I wanted to argue with him again, I had to go get Simon.

"Where are you going?" He questioned.

"Home."

"What! Why! You can't go back there. There might be more demons around!"

"Hello! Wake up and smell the demon, I can take care of myself!"

"Can I at least come with?"

"Fine."

"Good."

"Good."

"Fine."

"Pft, Fine."

"So we're good?"

"Oh, we're so good." I made my way outside and ran to my house. Ah such memories. I stood outside the stairs for my building. Magnus Bane should be walking out in about 3…2…1…Right on que, The High Warlock of Brooklyn comes out the door. He smiled when he saw me.

"Magnus bane. Good to see you."

"I could say the same for you Black Cheetah. If you will excuse me I must get going. I have to go feed my cat." Magnus smiled knowingly. Magnus is one of the only people to know my real identity. He only called me that to keep my cover.

"Of course. Goodbye." Jace stared at me.

"What?"

"Nothing." I knocked on the door. The Faux witch as I call her opened the door.

"Ah, Black cheetah, due come in. To what pleasure do I have of meeting you here?"

"I would like to use your portal if it isn't a problem."

"Ah yes, you may. Please come in."

"I'll just leave my coat with the footmen." Jace sneered.

"You will fall in love with the wrong person Jace Wayland. I would not be the one to make snarky comments." Jace shut his mouth with that. I got to give her props. That's the first time I heard him shut up after someone telling him something. She led us to a door.

"So how, may I ask, did you come to know of the portal?"

"I am a friend of Jocelyn Fray and she had told me of the portal. I want to go to her hiding place to make sure everything is in order."

"Ah, I see." She opened the door and let us go. I was the first to go through, jumping in. I felt myself swirling, and air whoosh by me, making my hair blow in a black veil behind me. I landed perfectly on my toes with more grace to make even a vampire envious. I could not say the same thing for Jace. He came and fell flat on his face landing on mud. I laughed as I video taped that as well. Ah, I had to post this on YouTube. This is comedy gold! He grumbled something that sounded something like "Hurt, Ego and Jerk." I just laughed even more and started walking towards the familiar bookstore. Luke's place. I jumped onto the fence and landed on the other side perfectly, soon followed by Jace. He saw a flash of something in the bushes and before I could so utter a sound we bolted into the shrubs.

"Aha. Got you!"

"Let go of me you pretentious asswhole!" Said a very angry, recognizable voice.
