Where it all began…
Chapter 2:

I made my way to the Institute from my apartment in my new silver Camaro. I know what you are thinking a Camaro, but I make a lot of money as a shadow hunter and artist. Anyway, as I parked I thought about all the memories I had of this place, most of them involving him.

I got out of the car and knocked on the door out of courtesy. The door opened to reveal a shirtless Jace. He stared at me openly like he couldn't believe it that I was standing there, while I tried not to stare at this chiseled abs.

"Clary?"

"For Angel's sake, are you going to let me in?" I said after about five minutes of his golden eyes boring into me.

"Ummm... yeah sure, come in." He gestured to inside the institute.

As I walked in I heard pots and pans being banged together coming from the kitchen. When I walked in I saw Isabelle trying to put what looked like slime, onto a cookie sheet. I assume she was trying to make cookies but they didn't turn out right.

"Now Izzy, shouldn't you know how to cook by now."

Izzy turned around towards me a smile on her face.

"Clary, oh my god I've missed you so much. It sucks being the only girl shadow hunter here." Izzy said as she came over and hugged me.

"I've missed you too, Izzy." I replied.

"Hey, I don't get any of the love." Alec said as he came out of the shadows from the hallway leading to the study.

"Oh Alec, I could never forget you. You're like a brother to me." I said as I hugged him.

"I'm way better than your brother, aren't I. I missed you Clary." Alec's voice was laced with sadness.

"I missed you too Alec. You are way better than my brother, and that is also why I am here."

"So what do you want to talk about that involves Sebastian?" Izzy said as she watched Jace.

"Well how about I cook while you I tell you, because frankly I'm hungry and this stuff just doesn't look good." I said as I looked at the goop.

"They aren't that bad." Izzy complained.

"Sure they aren't, Clary I didn't know you could cook." Alec jumped into the conversation.

"Yeah, how do you think I fed myself when I lived by myself?"

"Well I would think you would buy take-out but you are too skinny for that, so it makes sense."

"Ahh, you think I'm skinny. Thank you, Alec. Well anyway, get comfortable it's a long one." I said as I got the ingredients out for cookies.

"Well when I ran away I moved to…"
