Alec POV
Alec stumbled into the kitchen of the institute wearing the same clothes he had worn the night before.
"Where have you been?" asked Jace, clearly annoyed over something.
"Sleeping." He replied. His head was pounding.
How much did he drink last night?!
"Your bed was made when I went to check on you this morning and you're wearing the same clothes from last night." Isabelle grinned at her brother. His phone vibrated. He got a message.
Still on for tonight? ;)
By the angel, what was he going to do?
He remembered drinking a lot the night before, and remembered telling Magnus that he was gay. He blushed at the memory.
He blushed even more at the memory of being in a corner with Magnus and well…Alec could safely say Magnus got around. But he still wanted to learn more about the warlock. There was something about him…
"-lec! Hello! Anyone in there?" asked his sister, drawing him out of his head.
Alec blushed even more if that was possible. Why did he blush so damn much!
"W-what?"
"I asked you what happened last night. Clary came back to the party and brought me back to the institute, but we couldn't find you!" She was smirking. Oh Raziel no!
"Clary went back?!" Jace stared at Isabelle shocked.
Alec watched his expression. It was a mixture of confusion, anger and hurt. What happened between them?
"Yeah? Why?" asked Isabelle.
"Nothing. If you'll excuse me." Jace stood up, his face blank of expression and stalked out of the kitchen.
"What was that about?" Alec asked curiously.
"Nuh-uh! You are not changing the subject!" Isabelle turned back to her brother, Alec groaned. "Tell me what happened!"
"I drank and blacked out! I don't remember much!" he could feel his face getting hotter. He was sure if he got an egg, you could fry it on his face…
"What do you remember?"
"Are you seriously asking your brother if he had any, what do you call them? Conquests?" said another voice, entering the kitchen. It was Clary and she was smirking.
"Your right. I actually don't want to know." Isabelle said making a gagging noise. Alec rolled his eyes and started to leave the kitchen. He needed to take a shower and see what time the next train would be arriving so he could feel something less sore than his hangover!
But he had to reply to someone first.
"Sure, meet me at pandemonium at nine?" he texted Magnus back. Isabelle wasn't allowed there till she was sixteen, Clary wouldn't go without her and with Jace's mood, and he probably didn't feel like going out tonight.
Speaking of his parabatai, why was he storming towards his direction with a look of fury?

Clary POV
Clary woke up at seven o clock on the dot as usual. She was disoriented for a few seconds before remembering that she was in New York. The events of the night before came rushing back and she groaned.
She still wondered how Jace knew about that quote. her father was the only person she told. Jace said his father taught him, but where did he hear it? did her father used to be friends with Jace's?
She remembered Magnus's party, the werewolf and kissing Jace. What was wrong with her? Why didn't she let him suffer for his own mistake? He was the one who led that downworlder on!
She remembered Jace's admission for liking her. She snorted. They didn't know each other! He didn't even know her last name! She couldn't let herself even contemplate liking Jace. She already cared for too many people.
Her father and the Lightwoods. She remembered the heart wrenching pain she felt when her brother died. She couldn't go through that again. It was safer to stay away from Jace and let his feelings disappear than give him some hope.
She got out of bed and walked over to the vanity mirror and took out a piece of paper and pen she realized was in each room as she had tried to find her room in the maze of hallways last night.
She had returned to the party, hoping to get Izzy and Alec to come with her so she wouldn't be alone with Jace. She found Izzy easily but they couldn't find Alec. They figured that he had already gone home. Izzy wasn't happy that her brother might have left her.
Clary didn't say anything, but she saw Alec and Magnus in a corner. Although she loathed downworlders, she had to admit they looked cute together. She had directed Izzy away from them while they 'searched'.
Clary sighed as she started writing on the paper.
To Jace.
I want to forget last night happened. No one can find out or so help me, I will make you regret it.
If you want any kind of relationship with me, it goes as far as friendship. I'm a shadowhunter and I refused to be tied down to anyone.
If you refuse, I'm sorry that you have the maturity of a stubborn four-year old.
-Clary M.
Clary re-read the letter. She tried to be as snobby and an itch wit much as possible. Jace definitely wouldn't like her after this.
She turned to one of her many bags and looked for something to wear so she could go for a run. Even though she had a few hours sleep, she refused to stop training.
She changed into black yoga pants, black tank top and white runners. She looked at all her runes. She had to have more than any other shadowhunter. She still practiced her runes, but she was asked to make weird runes. She didn't understand why…
She shrugged, placed her hair into a high pony tail and walked out her door. She crept to Jace's bedroom and taped the letter to the door. She had found it in the vanity in her room. What didn't they leave for their guests?
She quietly exited the institute and began running.
One hour later
Clary returned to the institute exhausted. She had run longer than she meant to. She entered the institute and made sure to walk past Jace's room. The letter was still stuck to it. That meant he either missed it on his way out or was still asleep.
Well she wasn't waiting around to find out.
She ran back to her room and changed into another set of clothes. This time a black t-shirt with black shorts and shoes. She was going to grab something to eat than go train in the training room Isabelle had pointed out earlier.
As she left her room, she heard someone stomping their feet. She ran in the opposite direction, not wanting to face him.
She made it to the kitchen and found Isabelle and Alec. Alec looked like hell and he was still wearing the clothes from the day before. Isabelle had a dedicated glint in her eye.
"What do you remember?" Isabelle asked.
Clary watched Alec's crimson cheeks pale. She smirked but decided to help him. She never knew when a favor was needed.
"Are you seriously asking your brother if he had any, what do you call them? Conquests?" Clary asked.
Alec's cheeks regained their crimson color and Isabelle looked green.
"Your right. I actually don't want to know." Isabelle made a gagging noise.
Clary chuckled as Alec left the kitchen and she was alone with Isabelle.
"Want some breakfast?" Isabelle asked, standing up.
"I got it!" Clary said quickly. It was still too early in the morning to put her stomach through that torture.
"Fine." grumbled Isabelle. "Care to tell me why Jace is in a foul mood? Especially why he acted strange when your name was mentioned?"
Clary turned to face her just as the kitchen door swung open and an angry Jace entered. His eyes narrowed as he saw her. She saw a scrunched piece of paper in his fist.
"May I speak to you privately?" he snarled. Clary nodded but he grabbed her upper arm and dragged her out.
She let him drag her till they entered the elevator. Clary pinched his wrist and he let go. She could literally feel his anger rolling off him.
As soon as they got to the floor Jace picked, he went to grab her arm again, but she glared at him. Instead he walked ahead of her and she followed.
He went to his bedroom door and opened it, before motioning for her to enter first. She obliged, not looking forward to this conversation.

Jace POV
He woke up that morning, glaring at the ceiling. After last night, he wanted to grab Clary and kiss her again.
But she had crushed him. HIM! Jace Wayland! The guy that usually crushed others hearts. Now he knew how it felt.
He didn't know what to expect. He had hoped Clary would return his feelings or at least give him a chance.
He was still determined to break through her stone heart. First he had to find out what caused her to become so detached. Wasn't easy when he barely knew her.
He sat up in bed and heard his stomach rumble. Time for breakfast. Hopefully Izzy wasn't awake yet. He didn't need heartache and an angry stomach.
He entered the kitchen and just his luck, Isabelle was there and was making cereal. Maybe if he backed away slowly-
"Good morning!" Damn it!
"Morning Iz. You're up early." she never got up before nine o clock.
"Still getting used to different time zones I guess. My body clock is all messed up!"
"Is anyone else up?" he wanted to speak with a certain red-head.
"Um mom, dad and Hodge are still asleep. Clary isn't in bed but I guess she went to train or go for a run. Alec isn't in his room. His bed didn't look like he slept in it."
"Finally getting lucky" least someone was.
Isabelle rolled her eyes at the exact moment the devil himself walked through the door, covered in glitter and looking like they were caught in a tornado.
"Where have you been?" Jace asked. He was annoyed that Clary hadn't waited to speak with him surely. They couldn't ignore last night!
"Sleeping." Jace would have been suspicious at the lie but the Clary dilemma was still bothering him.
"Your bed was made when I went to check on you this morning and you're wearing the same clothes from last night." Of course Isabelle would fill in the role of mocking Alec.
Alec's phone vibrated. Jace watched as he looked at the screen. His face was priceless. It was red and looked shocked! Whatever made his phone vibrate, Jace wanted to use it as blackmail. After he talked to Clary.
Isabelle seemed to be rambling about something and had just noticed Alec wasn't listening.
"-Anyone in there?" asked Isabelle making Alec blush.
"W-what?"
"I asked you what happened last night. Clary came back to the party and brought me back to the institute, but we couldn't find you!" Jace snapped to attention.
Clary went back? After she kissed him? After he beat up a werewolf for her? She went back?
He felt all his earlier anger and annoyance flood back. He felt like he was shaking from anger.
"Clary went back?!"
"Yeah? Why?" asked Isabelle.
"Nothing. If you'll excuse me." Jace stood up. He was going to look for Clary and get some goddamn answers.
He stalked out of the kitchen and walked to his room to get dressed. He was in his pajamas which only consisted of grey sweatpants and a white shirt. He needed something black.
He left the elevator at the floor his room was. As he walked purposefully towards his door, he noticed a piece of paper was attached to it. He hadn't noticed it earlier.
He walked up to it and took it off the door.
As he read each line, his hands turned to fists till the piece of paper was scrunched up in one hand.
She wanted to forget last night? She was threatening him to forget last night? She only wanted to be friends?! He was stubborn?!
Wait, she signed it Clary M? So there was a clue to her last name. He would look for shadowhunter surnames in the library later, but he really needed to talk to a red-head who claims he's stubborn!
He stalked towards the elevator and punched the button to go down so hard he thought it would jam. Luckily it didn't and the elevator took off.
As soon as he reached the ground floor, he went to the kitchen. He was getting something to eat then he was hunting down that sly minx.
He entered the kitchen and found her. He narrowed his eyes at her. She wore a blank expression but he could see regret in her eyes. But he was too angry to figure out why.
"May I speak to you privately?" he snarled and Clary hesitantly nodded.
He grabbed her arm, dragging her from the kitchen in case she decided to run away from him.
They got to the elevator and Jace pressed the button for his floor. He didn't know what made him choose it but at least if they had to fight, he would know where all his weapons were.
They walked to his room after leaving the elevator. He had let go of her arm and was about to grab it again but her glare felt like a warning. He decided to walk ahead but check to make sure she followed.
When they reached his door, he opened it and motioned for her to enter. She was hesitant but entered. He followed and locked the door with his stele.
"Why are you locking the door?" she asked.
"Because I'd rather not have to go hunting you down if you try to run off." He snarled again.
This girl was definitely getting to him.
She obviously didn't like his attitude.
"Hunting me down? I'm not a freaking animal!" she hissed.
"Okay, bed reference." He admitted. "But you weren't going to come to me to talk about last-"
"There's nothing to talk about!"
"Yes there is! I told you about how I felt, you threw it back in my face! Then I find a letter from you saying you want to forget! But I also find out that you went back to that stupid party! Why?" he shouted. He didn't know where all that came from.
She looked at him shocked. She closed her eyes.
"I went back to get Izzy and Alec because I didn't want to be alone with you." She said so quietly that Jace barely heard her.
"Why?" he asked hurt. Why didn't she want to be alone with him?
"I don't want to care about people. I already care about too many! I already lost someone I loved and I don't want to go through that again! Why can't you just leave me alone? I'm not going to fall for you and I'm not going to be some girl you tricked into loving you!"
Jace stared at her tear streaked face. He never thought he would see her look so vulnerable. He wasn't expecting to even break through so quickly. She seemed to notice his confused look.
"Just because I'm telling you this doesn't mean I like you. I can tell you're persistent and I want you to just leave me the hell alone. Now open that bloody door before I run you through with that sword under your bed." She said glaring at his shocked face.
He looked over at his bed and was unable to see a glint of his sword. How did she see it?
She made a move towards his bed, but Jace had another idea. There was one thing he needed to do one more time before he let her leave his room. This might be the only chance he got to break through all her walls.
He had only seen a part of her heart when she broke down. He was sure there was more to see.
He used his speed to run at Clary who didn't see him till the last-minute but still didn't get a chance to defend herself before she was pressed against his bedroom wall.
He felt her gasp as the air was knocked from her. Before she could protest, Jace crushed his lips to hers.

Jonathan POV
He was outside of the Penhallows kitchen window. He needed to get a description of this cousin of theirs. They had been talking about visiting the Lightwoods, but no mention of the cousin.
He was growing frustrated. It was the middle of the night and he had to leave before it became light, in case he was spotted by a nosy neighbor.
Jonathan had to find this cousin or a demon soon. His demon side was promised a kill and it was getting a kill.
After waiting outside the open window (who leaves their window open at night?) for two and a half hours, Jonathan was about to leave and think of plan B when he heard a girl's voice.
"When is Sebastian arriving?" the girl said. She sounded young but not like a child. He guessed it was the teenager girl his father told him about. Alison or something.
"In the morning at nine. We are meeting him at the entrance. He is getting a portal and meeting one of my associates. We are meeting them at the entrance." A man's voice said. He sounded tired.
Jonathan smirked. He now had a name and time for when his victim was arriving. He knew where he would be arriving. It would be near Lake Lyn. Far enough away that Jonathan could easily kill him and now another shadowhunter apparently.
He quickly sneaked away from the window and onto the road. He didn't see any lights on in any other house, so he presumed that they were all asleep.
Jonathan began sprinting towards Lake Lyn. It was a popular entrance to Idris, but it was a big lake and he had to make sure not to kill too many. He had to plan wisely.
He smiled to himself, thinking about being able to talk to Clarissa again. She couldn't recognize him though. He would have to configure his face or something.
He arrived at the lake and checked the time. He had at least four hours before Sebastian would arrive. He decided to plan.
The Penhallows didn't mention anyone accompanying Sebastian so he should be by himself. Jonathan would have to knock him out and bring him back to his father to get help in disguising himself. Then he could satisfy the blood thirsty demon.
The only problem was this shadowhunter that would be showing him to the city. Jonathan would raise too many questions if he somehow arrived at the city with no guide.
Maybe he could knock him out and hide him in a bush or something so no one would see him…
He stayed awake for the next few hours, thinking about his plan and how he would proceed when he saw a figure walking along the path next to the lake.
Jonathan recognized him from city. This must be the shadowhunter that was bringing Sebastian.
Jonathan pounced when he had turned his back.
Okay, before I get many angry reviews, I want everyone to know that I've been trying to update for the last few days, but between homework, school, problems at home etc I haven had much time!
