CHAPTER 6

Clary felt her heart miss a beat, and all of a sudden her head went dizzy. The room around her spun and ever thing was blurred. She tried to take a step back to balance herself, and instead tripped on her own feet. Her small body came crashing down over her legs but before she could even get close to hitting the ground, the boy was holding her up, steadying her.

"Wh—what did you say?" her whole body was trembling, and not just with fear. There was something about this boy that just screamed at her to kiss him. 'You don't even know him!' her mind shouted. The boy, 'Jace' was still crouching down, holding her.

"Jonathon Lightwood. But you can call me Jace." He replied, his eyes bright with humour.

"Let go of me." Clary pushed him off her and stood up, balancing herself. Jonathon clearly hadn't expected her to do this as an expression of surprise was all over his gorgeous face, like a child's when they open a present they wasn't expecting. He stumbled slightly but quickly recovered. Jonathon smirked at her and let out a low chuckle.

"Wow, is that how you treat all of the men who save you? It's not everyday someone as sexy as me randomly appears and saves your life." He was smiling now, all of white teeth showing. They were all perfect, except a small chip on one of them. 'It kinda of suits him' Clary thought.

"Tell me, are you always this rude? Or am I just an exception?" Her voice was thick with sarcasm.

Jonathon ignored her question. "We should go. Hodge will want to see you."

"Who's Hodge and I don't want to go anywhere with you." She snapped at him.

"That's your problem. You can come willingly or unwillingly."

Rage filled Clary and she could feel herself losing her temper. "Are you threatening to kidnap me?"

The boy laughed at her, but never denied her question. Clary narrowed her eyes at him, sending him a sharp look.

"Like I said, I'm not going anywhere with you." Although she didn't feel even close to confident, her voice came out strong and sure of herself.

Jonathon sighed. "Well I guess that's unwillingly then." He took a step towards Clary, his eyes never leaving her. Without warning, as if someone had taken control of her body, Clary rapidly picked up a vase and threw it at him. With reflexes just as quick, Jonathon caught it in one hand. However, it was enough to distract him and Clary pushed passed him and ran out the apartment door. She could her him calling after her the sound of his steps running. He was quick, but not quick enough. Clary was now in the busy streets, surrounding by people rushing around her or just casually walking.

"Help!" She shouted, and one man stopped and turned towards her. "He's trying to kidnap me! Please, you have to help me!" She pleaded him.

"Who?!" he replied, with a mask of confusion covering his face.

Clary turned. Jonathon was now stood in front of the apartment entrance, in clear vision. But the man was just looking right through him, as if he wasn't there. Clary was dizzy all over again and she felt ill, sick sliding its way up her throat.

"Him, there!" The man was still confused. "Right there, he's standing right there. He's fucking in front of you!" She screamed. Now, there was no confused in his eyes. Instead, he was looking at her as if she was crazy. He turned away from her and quickly rushed away, leaving her standing there with her mouth open in shock and in fear.

Jonathon Lightwood's p.o.v:

The girl was nothing like he thought she would be. She was beautiful without knowing it, a 'fiery redhead'. She wasn't like any other girl he had met before; she was so different, so unique and just so strange to him. Jonathon had girls falling at his feet for him all the time. He was gorgeous, but he knew it. The redhead though, Clary, wasn't like that. He knew she felt drawn to him, and with a shock he realised he had felt it towards her too. No girl had ever done this to him before.

'Get a grip, she's nothing special.' Jonathon told himself in his head, but he was lying at he knew it.
