DFTBA,

KelseyDockry.

"So you're taking me to…?" I asked.

"Pandemonium," he replied.

"Well that was surprisingly easy," I said. We walked up the stairs of my apartment building and Jace kept his foot half a step behind mine causing me to repeatedly trip over him and fall into his chest. He seemed to think that his influencing my balance was hilarious and every time I'd try to get out of his hold on my waist he'd tighten his grip. By the time we got to my apartment we were a laughing mess.

I got out the keys to open the door when the next apartment over opened. The thirteen year old girl that lived there walked out to see what was going on out here. "Oh hi, Clary," she said with her eyes locked on Jace.

"Hi, Haylee," I said and opened the door.

"Who's this?" Her blue eyes were trained on Jace's every move.

"This is my boyfriend Jace," He placed one arm on my waist and waved to her with the other.

"Hi, Jace," she blinked twice and walked back into her apartment, closing the door.

"I think she likes me," Jace joked and ushered me into my home.

"I like you too."

I hung up my keys and kicked off my shoes. Jace practically collapsed on the couch and groaned. I laughed at the door and snuck up behind him, crouching next to his blond head that was burrowed into the couch. He looked up and jumped slightly when he saw how close I was to him. "Surprise you?" I asked.

"Okay, I've got to train you soon. You're going to be damn good," he replied and leaned forward for a kiss.

I did a back flip before he could reach me and laughed, "I'm already damn good."

"Very, very true, my love."

I went back into my closet and closed the door. Peeling off my clothes and singing to myself I snuck my steele out of the pocketed hoodie in the drawer to the back of the closet. I kept singing while I pressed the burning tip to the flesh that would be covered by my dress. The singing was purely my easiest way to make Jace believe that I wasn't doing anything I shouldn't have done. I prayed that he couldn't smell the burning runes that snaked around my waist and hips. I finished and exhaled slowly which was the exact moment that I heard Jace knock on the door.

"Clary, are you okay?" He asked.

"Uh, yeah. I'm fine, why?" I panicked while ripping a dress off of the hanger.

"No reason, can I come in? I'm going to grab something to wear," he said, turning the door knob.

"One second!" I yelped on the other side of that door. The dress was being extremely stubborn and didn't want to come off the hanger.

"Can I come in now?" Jace asked.

"No!" I finally got the dress off of the hanger and started to pull it on.

"Screw it," he said and threw the door open.

"Jace!" I squeaked and clutched the front of my dress to my chest. I had zipped it up just enough to hide the fresh runes.

"Sorry," he said and went into the back dresser that contained his clothing.

"Is there a reason that you couldn't wait five more seconds?" I asked with my eyes set on his now bare torso.

"Mmm, I thought that this would be more fun," he said as he walked over to me and brushed my hair over one shoulder. He zipped the rest of the dress up and leaned his head down to brush his lips on my shoulder and up my neck. I leaned back into him and rested my head on his shoulder, enjoying the moment and the feel of his lips on the crook of my neck. A small whimper slipped through my lips and I felt his mouth curl into a smile against my shoulder. I opened my eyes and looked at the mirror in front of us to see me melted into Jace's shirtless body, him with his hands grasping my hips, and me with my arms wrapped around his neck, standing in front of him. I focused on him, his hair falling over his golden, lust-filled eyes, face buried into my neck and shoulder.

"Jace," I whispered into his ear. He bit my neck gently when I said his name and I whimpered again, unable to help myself. At that point I had had enough; I turned around and pushed my lips to his with fiery passion. He pushed me forward against the mirror. I ran my hands over his bare chest and smiled on his mouth. This lasted for a very long time before I began to worry about the fact that my body needed air to stay alive and so far my body really, really likes to be alive as being alive allows you to do things like make out with your insanely hot boyfriend. I gasped and moved my head down slightly to break off the kiss. While my lungs chastised me for the lack of air I got a sort of cocky boost to my ego when I heard that his breathing was just as deep and labored as mine was.

"Wow," he breathed against my forehead before turning and walking away from me back to the dresser. And let me tell you, wow was so, so right. I mean damn.

"Um, are we, uh, still going to, uh, P-Pandemonium?" I stuttered.

"Of course we are," his breath back to the normal rate which made me very jealous.

"Okay," I walked out of the closet (more like stumbled) and collapsed onto one of the couches.

I turned over on a cold, hard surface. My eyes fluttered and opened against what I assumed was grass but I could never be sure because it was so blurry and black outside. My next breath came out in a groan muffled against the sod-y ground. The taste of the meadow was so unpleasant and unwanted that I pushed myself to roll over as fast as I could. My eyes squeezed shut at the shock of bright stars everywhere above me and I rejected the thought of laying down at all. So as I pushed myself up my hands landed on a piece of parchment that slightly crumpled under my touch. I blinked twice and turned to see what it was. My name was printed on the front so I unfolded it and read on.

Clare,

I'm sorry that I wasn't here to see you wake up but I had to leave for a moment. I promise that I'll be back before you can begin to properly miss me. Again, I'm sorry that I wasn't here.

I love you,

Jace.

I smiled at the note and looked back up at the stars and gasped slightly at the constellation that was painted, it said Jace; thousands, millions of stars spelling out his name in the middle of the night. It was incredible. I saw him in the corner of the meadow and he smiled at me. My lips pulled into a smile and I got up to go to him. But something seemed wrong, as I approached him I reached out and when my fingers should have touched his cheek bones they dipped into nothing. I turned around to see him behind me; transparent.

"Clary," he whispered. "Clary, wake-"

"Up!" Jace shook my shoulder softly.

"Oh, sorry," I said with a yawn.

"How did you fall asleep? I was in there for ten minutes and you fell asleep. You usually can't fall asleep for twenty minutes after we go to bed."

"Yeah well usually I'm bothered by your smartass comments."

"Come on," he laughed and walked to the door, unlocked it, took my keys, and went out without me.

"Jace!" I yelled while I got up to follow him.

I caught up to him and he pulled me closer by the waist. My head rested on his shoulder in the elevator while I listened to the horribly cheesy elevator music. We walked to Pandemonium where all of the teenage and early twenty year olds stared at Jace. He walked up to the bouncer with the cliché pony tail and the cliché white t-shirt. The bouncer pulled that 'oh hey, man. What up?' head nod and hand shake that you were apparently born knowing if you have a y chromosome. Jace said something to him and turned to point at me, I waved slightly and the bouncer smiled. They did the hank-shake thing again and Jace came over to get me.

"What was that?" I asked when we walked into the club with strobe lights and dancers getting a little too close for comfort.

"What, Hank? I told him that we were coming out tonight. He's cool, he's a Shadowhunter too."

"Oh, that doesn't really m-"

"Clary?" A startled Alec appeared.

"Alec! What are you doing here?" I was completely stunned to see the boy and searched the crowd for his boyfriend.

I found his boyfriend and with his boyfriend I found Isabelle and the "lovely" freaking Aline.

"We're here to hunt. You knew that Aline wanted to go hunting while she was here," he told me. Jace and I froze in unison at that but I recovered sooner so that I could try to wake him.

"Jace?" I poked him in the shoulder. "Hello?"

"I think you broke your boyfriend, sweetheart," Magnus told us when the group had come over. "What were you two doing that made him freeze like that, young lady?" He waved his hand in front of Jace's face and stared at him.

"Jace, baby?" I whispered. "Are you still okay?"

"I'm. Fine," he said before grabbing Magnus' wrist to stop it from waving at him.

"Well, mister crab-ass," Magnus mocked.

"So, um, are we going to hunt or not?" Freaking Aline asked impatiently while picking at her nails.

"Sure," Izzy said and turned to walk onto the dance floor. Freaking Aline and Magnus walked after her shortly followed by Alec who stared at Jace for a while in a sort of silent conversation.

"So are we going to hunt too?" I asked hopefully.

"No… I mean if you don't want to…" he obviously wanted to and was asking for permission.

"Go and play, I'm going to go and talk to Izzy," I waved him off and he kissed my lips fast before jogging over to Alec.

I danced my way through the ocean of bodies and next to Izzy. "Do we have a target?" I asked over the music.

"We do, you don't get your teeny tiny little ass back over to your boyfriend," Izzy responded.

"Izzy, I'm hunting with you, period."

She deliberated with that for a while and finally mumbled, "Fine. It's that blond boy in the corner there with the purple eyes."

"Thank you! Who's bait?" I asked.

"Who do you think?" Izzy spat before pointing to the almost naked and slutty looking freaking Aline that was trying to dance with the target. The target however would not respond to her grinding and searched the crowd for a suitable prey. I found this rejection hilarious and long overdue.

"Slut," I said and turned to see that Izzy had gone to the bar with Jace, Magnus, and Alec.

I danced as close to by myself as I could in this close and tight crowd when I felt hands on my hips. I saw a flash of blond out of the corner of my eye and turned to see what I expected was Jace. It wasn't the gorgeous and easy to lust after Jace but the purple eyed, blond haired demon with his long nailed hands on my hips. Trying to stay as calm as I could I continued dancing with him. The only problem with that was that I, untrained, never-properly-hunted, and obviously in love with my beautiful boyfriend, the Shadowhunter was now put up against he, vicious, fast, blood-thirsty, predator, the demon in a fight to the death. I smiled at him and waited until he bent down in his dancing to steal a quick glance at Jace. Jace was pissed and yelling at Izzy and the rest of them about something and the way that he pointed I could guess that it was my being bait. My glance got his attention somehow because he looked to me and I give him a gaze over the demon's shoulder that told him two things, (1) that I was scared, and (2) that I was ready to take him into the storage room and kill him. Jace automatically jumped up from his seat and stared at me.

"Follow me," I whispered huskily into the demon's ear. I turned and walked into the storage room while freaking Aline continued to argue with Jace. We got into the ever dark and damp room that was marked 'KEEP OUT!' and I closed the door, smiling at the horrible creature. He smiled back at me and went in for a kiss. I dodged this kiss with top speed and grabbed the cord at our feet, tied his hands together and continued to trip him and tie his feet to his hands. This happened faster than I thought I could move so I reached into my clutch for the dagger I'd always carried with me. The door was kicked open and I had my knife at the throat of the demon.

"Clary?" Jace seemed extremely confused.

"Damn!" Izzy said when she saw how I had more or less brought the demon to his death while knocking him out from a hit to the head.

"How did you…?" Jace trailed off with a puzzled look on his face.

"She's a badass," Izzy said as if it were a fact like two plus two equals four.

"What happened here?" Freaking Aline spat.

"Oh, I kicked ass," I said and tightened the cord to emphasize the sentence.

The demon began to wake so I leaned down next to it again and watched for a second before pressing the dagger against its throat again. It groaned and tried to move before shooting its eyes open when it realized that it was tied. "Morning, sunshine," I purred to it.

"Shadowhunter!" It hissed.

"Yup," I said, popping the p. "Now that we've got this sorted, who are you with?"

"Why would I tell you that?" It continued to hiss.

"Because if you don't I can just torture you before killing you. Is that what you want, honey?"

"I came alone."

"Hmm, I doubt it," I put more pressure on the knife.

"Wait, wait! I'm alone, I swear!" It yelled.

"Okay, okay, I believe you. Now any last words?" It opened his mouth to say something. "Didn't think so," I plunged the dagger into his chest and twisted it, making it disappear cleanly and without inchor stains on my heels.

I stood and turned around to the group that stood there, jaw dropped.

"Well then. Now that that is taken care of. Any more things that you want to do before you go home, Aline?" Alec asked.

She snorted and walked out of the room.

"Why were you guys here anyway?" Izzy asked Jace.

"Oh, it was my turn to take her somewhere," he kept his eyes on me, smiling.

"Do you guys ever plan anything?" She stormed out.

Jace and I stood there staring at each other for a long time before he closed the distance and kissed me. We then had no need to be anywhere near this nightclub and went back to my apartment. The phone rang again.

"Hello?" Jace asked. "It's your mom," he said and handed the phone to me, brushed my cheek with his hand and went to take a shower.

"Mom, hi!" I said.

"Clary honey, I have to tell you something, it's important. Like, life changing important."

And so we leave off. Sorry about the lack of chapters, I had some family problems that are still happening but I have to upload this now. Review PLEASE! Thank you, lovelies.

DFTBA,

KelseyDockry.
