Where it all began…
Chapter 6
Jace's POV:

The streets of New York were bustling with people. It seemed like the mundanes didn't mind the cold freezing air.

I followed the little red shadow hunter behind a large group of office looking humans. Every once in a while I had to switch places because she would look behind her. Her shadow hunter skills must be kicking in, and telling her something was suspicious.

When she came close to Taki's, I got enough courage to go up and face her. I was a few foot steps away from her when I felt some one rub against my side seductively. I turned around to see a faerie with blue eyes. Kaelie.

Kaelie was an annoying faerie servant to the faerie queen Seelie. I must admit she was quite beautiful, but way too clingy. She had been trying to get my attention ever since she found out Clary had left.

"Hey, handsome." She asked with a slight purr.

"What do you want Kaelie? Remember how I said that don't like you, I only want Clary." I said as I continued walking.

"But she' not here is she?" Kaelie purred.

"Look over there." I said as I angled my head towards the petite redhead talking to the rat faced Day lighter.

Kaelie whipped her head around to see Clary finishing her conversation with the vampire. She had her head turned away from me, but I could've sworn she said "Damn Bitch!" She turned her head back towards me with a sickly smile.

"Well I must be going." She said before turning around quickly and walking off. Before she turned a corner she whipped out a phone and dialed a number and waited.

'Hmmm, I wonder what that was about.' I thought as I looked around for Clary.

As I was about to give up I saw a flash of red hair move into an abandoned ally. I easily followed walking behind her silently. I walked up to a trash can and hid behind it and waited till she was turned around before I moved again.

*Crack*
I looked down to see a bottle underneath my foot. Before she could see me I hid down, deciding it would be better if I just watched until she was out of sight before moving.

When she was close to the end of the ally, a shadow engulfed her frame. A small blond woman landed gracefully behind her and just stood there waiting.

Clary sensed the woman because she grabbed the woman's wrist and twisted making the bone crack. But she wasn't quick enough because the woman took her by the throat and lifted her off the ground.

"Samantha!" Fear and shock flashed across Clary's face.

I stayed rooted to the ground wondering how Clary knew this woman.

"Hello Best Friend." The woman said coldly.

'What!' I thought before watching again.
