Love To

Chapter 7:

The club's entrance had a long line winding behind the red velvet rope. The bouncer let in a couple vampires, their dyed black hair totally obvious in the flashing lights coming from inside. My eyes danced around the people with millions of piercings, multicolored hair, and a varied amount of leather. Jace grabbed my arm pulling me into the alley, Isabelle flanking behind. Jace knocked on the exit door and it swung open revealing Alec. Isabelle tapped my shoulder, handing me a thigh sheath and seraph blade.

"What's the name?" I asked pulling the tulle and fabric farther up as I clamped the sheath around my thigh and sliding the blade into place. I could feel Jace's gaze flicker around the patch of skin now showing but it flicked away when I straightened up.

"Michael."

"I really hope I don't have to use this…" I trailed off making Jace turn to me abruptly.

"Clary, we aren't killing mundies, vampires, werewolves, faeries, or whatever else might be in there." Jace's thumb jerked at the door.

"Oh don't forget warlocks!" Alec piped up.

"Alec I highly doubt a warlock would condescend to being at this club." Jace tried to end there but Alec rambled on again.

"Well Magnus is here." That brought my eyes up to meet Alec's and I grinned to myself.

"Whatever, let's just go." He turned back to the door, taking my hand to help me up the large step. The bass made me bones shutter as I peeked around Jace's shoulder to get a better look. Arms and legs flailed about and Isabelle pulled me to her side away from this really creepy looking guy with bloodshot eyes, I'm guessing was on some sort of drug. She pointed out four different demons that were now added to "our" kill list.

"I'm thirsty. Let's get a drink first." Jace and Alec walked to the bar, leaving me alone with Isabelle. She fluffed out my curls and took out a tube of lip gloss that tasted like strawberries, slathering it around my lips.

"What's that for?" I asked trying to get away from her grabby hands.

"It adds a little OOMPH, for the demons and for Jace." She winked at me but before I could scold her for saying that the boys returned.

"This doesn't have alcohol does it?" I looked down at the fizzing redish-brown drink. Crap I sounded so dumb. "I'm too small to handle a lot." I peeked up, making sure they weren't staring at me like I was a total idiot. Jace chuckled.

"No, it dulls the senses so we won't be on guard if we consume any right now." I couldn't help but gulp at that right now. I'm a light-weight so I prefer to keep my distance from the stuff, but the story of how I came to this conclusion won't be told right now.

"What is it?" I stared at the glass in my hand.

"Relax! It's just Coke and Grenadine, it's like a boys spin-off of a Shirley Temple." I fished out the plump, red cherry popping it off the stem and into my mouth. Isabelle handed me her cherry and I took it as well. I decided I'd play a little prank on them.

"Watch this." I smiled sliding one of the stems into my mouth, but while their eyes were on my face, the other stem was in my hand, my fingers hastily tied the knot and I lifted my hand to my mouth, tucking the untie stem under my tongue and pulling the one from my hand away from my mouth.

"Tada!" I held the stem out in it perfect knot. They started laughing in amazement.

"How'd you do that?" Isabelle asked.

"I tied it with my tongue." I grinned at my fib.

"Kinky." Jace smirked making my cheeks flare. I hid my face in the plastic glass taking a few swigs to get the caffeine pumping through my system. Isabelle scooted in closer so we could all hear her.

"Okay, Clary and I are going to the floor. Jace stick around Clary to make sure she doesn't get hurt," I saw an impish look flash in her eyes but not to me…but to Jace. Oh God! Did he know? No Isabelle wouldn't tell, that's against "girl code". Then again she wasn't raised with mundies, she probably didn't know "girl code". Damn, well I guess Jace knows. She stepped away, strutting to the dance floor. Jace hugged me to his side pulling me to the opposite side of Isabelle.

"What's the plan?" I spoke close to his ear, making him tense a little, the pulse in his wrist throbbed against my arm. Good to know he and I react the same way to each other. The song died but Jace's breath tickled against my ear, as he leaned down.

"You and me will dance for a bit and then I'll move back so you can lure in the demon. I'll be watching don't worry." He was smiling, trying to reassure me that I would be alright. Easy for him to say, he wasn't wearing a dress and sheath that dug against my skin enough to make it irritating. He pulled me on to the floor, ironically they were playing a slow song, "Open Arms" by Journey. It wasn't hard to identify Steve Perry's voice. Jace had only learned classic dances and when he tried to grab my hand, I placed his on my hip where his other already was. I locked my fingers behind his neck and we moved to the melody. I locked my eyes with his and we swayed, pressed together for a few more songs, even fast songs. We just swayed to the music, his golden hair tickled my arms but I moved my fingers through the strands at the back of his neck. His palms moved around on my hips and he breathed slowly never taking his eyes off of mine. His hand tangled into my hair and he pulled me in. His lips caressed mine and I reached up on my tiptoes to get a little more leverage. His other arm curled around my neck and his tongue slipped in between my lips. I gasped as he pushed me toward the exit. The alley was dark and I didn't see anyone. Jace pushed me to the wall and I jumped up locking my ankles around his waist. His hands slid up my leg and when they grazed the thigh sheath, he snapped out of his hormonal induced daze. I slid back to my feet and he leaned against me breathing heavily.

"So much for the plan…" He scoffed but longingly gazed down at me. He pulled the exit door open again and helped me back up, his fingers intertwined with mine as we moved back into the mob of young adults. I slid my hand out of his turning to wink at him as I started grinding against the demon. He grabbed my hips.

"Oh…I'm sorry I thought you were someone else." I smiled at the grotesque demon trying my best to return him to the glamoured version.

"Thought I was your little angel-faced boy toy did you sweetie?" He smirked. I grimaced and he gave me a questioning look his black eyes flickered in the lights. "What's wrong? Don't like what you see?" He looked me up and down.

"Just the opposite, I was just thinking about that other boy and thought what a shame it would be if he destroyed that pretty face of yours." My fingers slid up his arm to rest shortly on his cheek. He gave me a menacing grin.

"Oh I think I'd manage." He laughed to himself and pulled me closer. After the song ended I brushed my lips to his ear for dramatic affect. "Want to go somewhere more private?" My fingers looped with his as I led him to the storage room. As I turned to beckon him into the room I caught a glimpse of gold and raven hair. He pushed me against a shelf and hissed into my ear, "Stupid Mundie. Sugar, spice and everything nice, that's what pretty little girls are made of…wonder if you taste that way?" A forked tongue flicked between his teeth.

"Well what do Shadowhunters taste like?" I asked in a malicious voice. He stood back, eyes widened as the door flung open and shut, the other three behind him. He turned to see the intruders and I took the opportunity to kick out the back of his legs, bringing him to his knees, as I so expertly gripped him in a headlock with one arm and held the Seraph Blade to his neck. I looked up seeing my three friends faces gawking at me in bewilderment. I blew a loose curl out of my face.

"You mind?" And seeing them shake their heads, stabbed the thing in the heart, watching as it enveloped in on itself.

"Holy Shit….she just killed a demon." Alec said in pure astonishment. Jace gave me a genuine, wide grin.
