Love To
Chapter 13:
I sped up as I walked down the abandoned path in Central park. The wind blew down my collar, making me shiver. I pulled my hood up, trying to look as young and innocent as I could. I looked forward as I walked seeing a silhouetted figure step in front of me, the light shining behind him so I couldn't make out the details.
"It's pretty late to be walking around alone." A malicious voice cracked. The thing was obviously female, but what type of thing was it? It didn't take long to find out because she pounced on me only a few seconds later. Her teeth gave her away as her canines slid out to their full extent.
"Any last words honey?"
"Yeah, where's Valentine?" This made her scoff.
"Why would I tell a little mundie?" She spat.
"Well for starters she's not a mundane…" Isabelle pinned the vampire to the ground. I crouched over the vampire, grabbing her hair to make her sit up, and holding a seraph blade to her throat.
"Jeez, Izzy, the vampires are becoming more dimwitted with every passing day." I smiled down at the girl, pressing the seraph blade into her skin.
"Now, where is Valentine?" I asked in a sickly sweet voice.
"I don't know! Somewhere in New York, I guess. Are you going to kill me?" She looked up with pleading eyes.
"Seeing as how you just tried to eat me I'm going to say yes." I stabbed her through the heart, not waiting to watch the carnage spill out of the wound.
"Gross." I turned back to Isabelle. "You know when you said girls night out I thought it wouldn't involve seraph blades and steles." I sighed, putting the blade away.
"Well this is the only fun I could think of." She smiled as we walked back down the path towards the big lit buildings. We stopped at Taki's for some hot chocolate, finding a booth in the far corner. Lucky for me, Kaelie was not working tonight.
"So what's up with you and Simon? Are you guys like an "Item" or what?" I took a sip.
"I don't know. It doesn't feel serious right now."
"I think he likes you." I smiled and she gave me a shy grin in return.
Isabelle and I walked back to the Institute, and my teeth were chattering by the time we reached the door. They quieted in the elevator as we rode up in a comfortable silence. When the doors slid open Isabelle pulled me into the foyer.
"Where is everyone?" I strained to hear anything.
"Max is at Maia's and Jace and Alec went hunting. We have the house to ourselves so what shall we do dear Clary?" She smiles setting a finger to her chin.
"Hide and seek?" I smiled. It was the only game I could think of.
"Yeah! You count I'll hide." She smiled running down the hallway. I turned back to the elevator.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." The elevator doors slid open and out stepped Jace and Alec.
"Clary? What are you doing here? You really wanted to see me that severely that you broke into my house?" He smirked and I smiled sweetly at him.
"Actually I'm playing Hide and Seek with Isabelle."
"Hide and seek? Aren't you a little old for that?"
"Okay you're docking points Jace." I glared up at him but he returned the glare with the annoying smirk. I spun on my heel, if he wanted to be a cocky asshole that was his choice but I will not witness it.
"Clarissa, Alec and I have made an educated decision that we will also play."
"You're counting!" I ran down the hall I had seen Isabelle disappear into. I opened a door to the practice room, searching for a good hiding place. I looked up seeing the outline of beams feet above me. I scurried up a roped that was connected to one of the beams, jumping over two and cozying into the crook of two. I flattened myself so I could peer over the edge and moments later the door creaked open as the blonde stepped in. He glanced around the room and looked up, straight at me. Damn! I leapt up, and then realized there wasn't anywhere to run too. I clumsily lost my footing and I felt myself fall towards the floor. Then two arms were holding me instead of the floor. Jace looked down at me his eyes wide. He dropped his arm from beneath my legs and pulled me closer to him, winding his hands around my torso. We were heavily breathing due to that spike of adrenaline. His lips crushed against mine and I loved how rough he handled me, not like a delicate china doll. His tongue traced the outline of my lips. I tangled my hands into his hair and then they trailed down his shoulders and over his stomach and back. We dropped to the floor, he was on top of me and he trailed kisses down my neck and bit a small patch of skin at the base of my neck. I moaned quietly and moved my lips to nibble his earlobe, he groaned in pleasure.
"God there's this thing called a bedroom; it works well when privacy is needed." Isabelle sniped from the doorway.
And we shall end that steamy scene here! Please review; I love to see what you guys think! And for those of you who wanted the Malec scene here it is below!

The Date: By the way this is from a few chapters ago so this is while the girls are getting ready.
I adjusted the denim button-down he was wearing as he walked into Taki's. Magnus had asked me to go on a date with him and I had, for some reason, accepted. There was something so bold about the warlock that drew me in, whether it was the pounds of glitter he wore or those enticing cat eyes.
As I walked into the restaurant I caught sight of Magnus in a cozy booth on the far wall. He smiled when I sat down. The waitress shuffled to the table looking bored.
"What would you like to drink?"
"Coffee please."
"Long Island Iced Tea" Magnus beamed at me across the table. The waitress left without another word.
"So Alec, darling, tell me about yourself."
"What's there to know? I'm a closeted Shadowhunter, I have romantic feelings for my parabati, I have a sister, and a younger brother, Max. What say you Magnus Bane the High Warlock of Brooklyn?" I smiled.
"Well, I was born many years ago. My mother hung herself in the barn when she found out who my father really was, and my "father" tried drowning me in the creek by our house resulting in his death. I am banded from Peru but that is for another night. And I'm not picky with the race or sex of my partner." He sipped his tea. The waitress returned asking us for our orders.
Magnus and I laughed and chatted through our meals and he held my hand across the table. We talked about his years of traveling, the Clave, Isabelle, Jace, and Clary.
"I've known Clary since she was two years old. Her mother and I are good friends and I offered to help keep her and Clary hidden from Valentine. It's funny because when I first met Clary she was playing with my cat and she screamed like a banshee when he scratched her for pulling his tail. I even asked Jocelyn if she was part banshee, but Jocelyn didn't see it as humorous as I did," He smiled fondly at the memory. I chuckled at the thought of an even smaller Clary waddling around and pulling cat's tails.
And that is the Malec date! I hoped you like it! I know there wasn't a kiss but Alec isn't as direct as Jace and somewhat Clary. So patience young grasshoppers and there shall be Malec kisses! Review please!
