Chapter 2

Clary POV

I sat in a booth at Takis waiting for the coconut pancakes I ordered. The waitress came over and placed it down, she had almond shaped eyes and a very petite figure I looked at her name tag and it said 'Kealie'. After a she was finished staring at my outfit she said "Would you like to pay now or later?"

"later please" I replied. She muttered "okay" and left. "Excuse me" said a voice behind me. I looked behind me and saw the most beautiful girl I had every seen, she had jet black hair reaching her waist and chocolate brown eyes. "Are you alright?" she asked

"yea" I replied.

"What happened?" she questioned

"I ran away from my arranged marriage" I replied simply

"My names Isabelle Lightwood" she holding out her hand

"Clary Morgensturn" I said shaking her hand.

"I'm sorry If its rude for me asking, but do you have anywhere to stay tonight?" Isabelle asked.

"yea I have an apartment just near here" I replied, not wanting her to know that I was actually going to stay in my families spare house down at the beach.

"Cool, well I have to go my brothers are waiting for me" she said kindly

"okay bye" I said, and continued eating my pancakes.

Isabelle POV

"Well?, what did she say" Jace said.

"Nothing much, I just asked her for her name and if she had anywhere to stay"

"so what is her name?" Alec asked.

"Her name is Clary and she owns an apartment near here and she had just ran away from her arranged marriage"

"tough thing to go through, aye?" said Alec.

"I think we should follow her home, you know see if she's lying about having a place to stay" Jace said

"oh please you just want to shag her." Alec said

"maybe I do, or maybe I want to see where she lives so I can stalk her and watch her get changed, ever thought of that" Jace said.

"Twat" Alec muttered under his breath.

"Thank you Alec. We're all refreshed by your unique point of view." Jace said sarcastically.

"Not really unique Jace everyone thinks it" I muttered

"no one thinks I'm a twat!, just ask Kealie, see if she thinks I'm a twat." I rolled my eyes god he is so up himself I thought.

"Hey Kealie!?" Jace asked her

"yes" she said walking up to him.

"Do you think I'm a twat?" he asked

"no of course not Jace! Your wonderful." she said pressing her boobs against him.

"good, now go do your work before I make a complaint about bad customer service." When she left I said to him

"your such a dick".

"You know it" he said.

"Guys she's leaving now, do you want to follow her?" asked Alec

"yeeep" Jace replied

"I sighed and said "fine"

Jace POV

We were following Clary in the car for about twenty minutes when she finally pulled up next to the beach, got out and walked up to a huge white mansion. She unlocked the door and went in.

"Issy, I thought you said that she had an apartment, not a bloody mansion" Said Alec turning to Isabelle

"She did!" she exclaimed.

"why would she lie then?"

"I don't know!" asked Isabelle.

"She's right Alec" I said, not wanting to listen to there pointless argument.

Alec sighed and said dramatically

"whatever lets just watch then".

Clary POV

I reached under the pot plant got the key out and unlocked the door to the huge white mansion. I walked in my shoes clacking on the marble floor. Memories flooded through me like a unwanted wave of emotion. I grew up in this house, I loved it even the old basement that I always was afraid of. I sighed and walked up to my old bedroom, when I got there I pulled out my red backpack that I kept in the back of the closet. There was spare clothes in here, my mother made me do it just in case something went wrong at the other house and we would have to run. Everyone in the family had one of these. I changed into some black converse a blue tank top and denim shorts. I walked pass the window then doubled back there was three shadows next to the bush, I couldn't see the people but I knew they were there. I walked outside and headed towards the bushes, "excuse me?" I asked towards the bushes "your on private property...I can see your shadows.

Someone slowly stood up- "Issy!, what are you doing here!? And who are they" I said pointing to the other to shadows.

"those are my brothers- Alec, Jace stand up" she ordered. Both the shadows stood up and took my breath away. The first one had bright blue eyes and jet black hair he was obviously Issy's sister the other one was completely different, he had blonde shaggy hair with golden eyes, a complete god.

" you know" he said "its rude to stare but because its me I'm going to take it as a compliment." I blushed and looked away. Issy pointed to the boy "that's Jace he is my adopted brother and he is a prick." She pointed to the other boy, "and that's Alec my real brother."

"It's nice to meet you all" I said.

"hey, Clary? Do you want to come over for dinner tonight?" Issy asked me

"sure" I said thinking what could go wrong.

"cool here's my address, come at six" she said writing on a piece of paper and handing it to me.

"Ok, see you later" I said to them. They walked away and Issy turned around and yelled

"bye!"

At 5:55 I was standing in front of the mirror think how well I did, I had gone with the dark look with grey eye shadow black eyeliner and mascara with a black dress that reached mid- thigh with three quarter sleeves, with five inch blue stilettos. I wish Magnus was there to see my work. I missed him so much, what would've happened to him? I ignored those thoughts and walked down to the giant garage, got in my black Koenigsegg CCX and drove away to the Lightwood's house. When I got there I was pretty impressed, it was a huge house with brown brick walls it was a big house but not as big as mine. I walked up to the door and knocked a few seconds later Jace opened it and smirked

"hey Clary, Issy's upstairs dinner will be ready in ten minutes"

"okay thanks" I said walking in "uh, what room is it?"

"second door on the left" he said smirking again.

"kay thanks" I said walking past him heading up the stairs- wait did he say first or second door? I'll try first I opened the door and realised that it wasn't Issy's room, this room was messy and had comic books spread around of the floor-

"hello?" I turned around and saw the voice was a small nerdy looking boy with glasses and brown messy hair. "I'm sorry I was looking for Issy, my name is Clary."

"My name is Max. Issy's room is next door he said smiling.

"Thanks" I said walking up to Issy's door and knocking

"come in!" she called from inside.

"Hey Issy" I said walking in the darkroom and took it in. It had pink walls and a pink bed with black pillows.

"Clary! Hey, I'll be two secs hang on" she said putting on her mascara. "okay done, lets go downstairs."

After dinner we decided to watch a movie. By the time the movie was done it was about eleven thirty. I was on the couch laying on Jace's chest (A.N there just friends!) Isabelle was on the floor hugging a pillow and Alec laying half on the couch asleep."Hey Clary?" Isabelle whispered from the floor.

"Yeeees" I whispered back.

"do you want to stay the night? I don't want you to drive home when its this late"

"sure" I replied.

"yaaaay! Clary is sleeping over, we can do each others nails and have pillow fights!" Jace said in a girly voice.

"Jace shutup! Your going to wake up Alec!" Issy hissed

"I'm already awake" said Alec from the couch

"Alec no one cares, go back to your sleeping cant you see Issy and I are talking?" hissed Jace

"whatever"Alec muttered and went back to sleep.

"lets watch another movie" said Jace "and it has to be scary" he added in.

"THE WOMAN IN BLACK ERMAHGERD, LETS WATCH THAT" Isabelle shouted

"o god no" I said

"yes" said Jace with an evil smile on his face.

Jace POV

I woke up and looked around, I was on the couch and Clary was laying on my chest fully clothed, dammit, she's so beautiful, Clary dosen't need make up. During the movie she had been pressing her head into my arm as if trying to hide, she was so cute. She stirred then woke up

"what time is it?" she said groggily

"about nine" I replied

"well better get up then" she said sitting up

"wait...will you go on a date with me?" I said nervously.
