Blood Is Thicker Than Darkness
Chapter 1
Isabelle's Cooking
"No absolutely not! There is no way that I'm eating that Isabelle." Said Jace Lightwood as he sat down at the kitchen counter after a particularly grueling training session, with his girlfriend Clary Fray, who was by the refrigerator watching the siblings bicker.
"Oh come on Jace it's not that bad! I've been working on this stew all afternoon, the least you can do it try it!"
"I'm sorry Isabelle but I can't deprive the world of this face", Jace says with all seriousness and puts on a rather grave expression "and eating your food will no doubt endanger my life."
Isabelle makes a sound of indignation and gives her brother a stern glare before turning her gaze on Clary, and gives her puppy dog eyes "Will you try my stew Clary?"
"Ummm uhhh … Izzy you know I love you but your cooking isn't always edible at the best of times and…" Clary manages to stutter out earning her a very venomous look from her friend causing her to stop her jumbled reply.
"Fine if no one will try it I guess I'll just have to dump it," Isabelle says with a pout as she carries the pot of stew from the stove over to the sink.
"Once again we escape another food related disaster, and my face will live to see another day," says Jace will a smirk. After dumping her stew down the sink Isabelle grabs a handful of takeout menus from a drawer, walks over and hits Jace upside the head with them. "Why don't you just shut it Jace, and do something useful by ordering dinner", she says and goes to leave the room only to be stopped by the very flamboyant Magnus Bane who has just barged in though the kitchen door with his boyfriend Alec Lightwood hot on his heels.
"Darlings we are going out tonight!" Exclaims Magnus as he looks around the kitchen then scrunches up his nose, "What is that awful smell, did Church leave another dead rat behind the fridge again?"
To which Clary snorts with laughter and Jace says "No that was just Izzy's latest attempt at assassinating the whole family, by way of her cooking." Isabelle blushes and says trying to change the subject "So we're going out tonight" Where to?"
"Well to Pandemonium of course, I thought we could all use a night out", says Magnus with a beaming smile. At this news Clary lights up with excitement "Yes! I've been dying to go out, and after all the training we have all done today I think it's a great idea. Maybe we'll even get in some demon hunting in while we're there!"
The others in the kitchen can't help but catch Clary's excitement and are leaving the kitchen to go get ready. Unfortunately Clary wasn't so lucky and Isabelle grabs her arm, "Oh Clary come with me we'll get ready together," Then turns to everyone else and says "We'll meet you guys downstairs in an hour!" While Izzy proceeds to drag Clary down the hall she looks back at Jace and mouths "Save Me!" To which he chuckles, blows her a kiss and walks away to get ready. At this point Clary is defeated because there no point in struggling and follows Izzy to her room to commence on an hours' worth of hair pulling torture.
One Hour Later
(Clary's POV)
After what feels like forever Isabelle finally lets Clary see what she has done and the result is stunning. Izzy styled Clary's hair so the normally bright red frizz, was now controlled effortless curls that framed her face and hung down to mid back. Her makeup was simple with a dark smoky eye that made the emerald orbs seem extremely bright, a light pink lip gloss, and a light layer of powder that made her skin look flawless even with the freckles. Even though Clary was unsure about the dress at first she has no doubts now, the tight green dress came to about mid-thigh and had a sheer lace overlay with a high-low hem line, and matching sheer sleeves. Finally to top of the outfit a pair of four inch knee high black leather boots, "Wow Izzy! This is amazing thank you so much, and you look stunning, this is by far some of your best work!"
Isabelle was dressed exactly like Clary except she was wearing a white dress instead of green, and her long black hair was done in a long braid over her left shoulder. "Thanks Clary! I think so too, now let's weapon up and go meet the boys," said Izzy with a wicked grin. Clary grabbed four daggers and put two in each boot, and strapped two seraph blades to her thigh holster, while Isabelle does the same and then wraps her gold whip around her wrist. Then with matching smiles they headed off downstairs to meet the boys and Clary was not disappointed with the sight that greeted her. Alec and Jace both wore dark button up shirts with dark pants, while Magnus's outfit was a little more extravagant. He wore skintight sparkly blue skinny jeans, with a neon green shirt, and a white blazer jacket. But the best part is the look on Jace's face because he was totally awestruck and couldn't take his eyes off me, and as I approach he finally speaks in a hushed voice "You look beautiful."
"Thanks. You're not so bad yourself", I say and lean up and give him a kiss but as I go to pull away he grabs my neck and deepens the kiss. Unfortunately our impromptu make out session is interrupted by someone clearing their throat "Umm guys we'd kinda like to get going", says Alec and chuckles. After breaking apart Clary blushes and Jace smirks, grabs her hand and they all head out of the Institute on their way to Pandemonium.
So that's chapter one I hope everyone enjoyed it, for the first few chapters those will be up pretty quickly but if I continue the story I will only be updating maybe once a week. So please read and review and tell me what you think!
