A/N- To anyone wondering, I will have some high school drama parts as well as shadow world drama parts. I'm thinking of having a few chapters from the point of view of the foster kids, I'm not sure though. Tell me in the reviews if you would be interested in that. Also read the author's note at the bottom as well because it is important
Clary
The cab ride was eerily silent. Isabelle sat in the front and Clary sat in the back between Simon and Jace. Jace held her hand and Clary could sense the tension in him.
They arrived at the home of The High Warlock of Brooklyn and Jace paid the cab and they got out.
Isabelle and Simon went into the apartment but Jace pulled Clary aside to talk to her.
"What happened?" He asked gently.
Clary sighed. "Some creep came up to me and started talking to me and must have slipped something in my drink. I walked around and I must have passed out. You probably know what happened after that, but I don't."
"That creep took you up to a room and almost...look, I know you're acting strong about this but I was terrified when I discovered what happened. I never want anything to hurt you Clary." He said gently. "Especially not after Sebastian."
"Hey, look it was fine I'm fine." She whispered and put her hands on his waist.
"Is that true?" Jace murmured.
"The full truth is I feel disgusted by what he tried to do and terrified of what might of happened, but for now I want to forget about it and be happy." Clary said and kissed Jace.
He kissed her back and, like their kisses always did, it grew in intensity. Soon Clary had pushed Jace against the wall and they were tightly wrapped together. Jace spun them around so Clary was against the wall just as she put her hands underneath his shirt. He kissed down her throat and his hands were everywhere.
Clary pulled back. "We should probably go inside." She whispered.
"But it's so fun out here." He joked and buried his face I'm her neck.
"C'mon." She pulled away and they walked hand-in-hand into the party.
...
Alec
Alec was standing beside Magnus with a drink in his hand. Magnus had decided to dress as Egyptian royalty but had gone overboard with the jewelry and most of his torso (which had not fabric on it) was covered by gold and jewels.
Isabelle had arrived with Simon and were walking over to Alec. She have him a smile and Alec asked, "Where are Jace and Clary?"
"Oh some guy drugged her drink." Isabelle said and at Alec and Magnus's worried expressions she quickly added. "He didn't do anything, Jace got there in time and beat the crap out of him and she's fine now, apparently healing runes work on roofies. They're just talking outside, and, knowing them, making out."
She went off with Simon and Alec exhaled.
"High school drama." He sighed.
"There's downworlder drama too. I could barely throw this party without starting an uproar." Magnus said.
"I didn't know about that."
"Yeah, they're keeping it on the down low for now and forming gangs kind of. After so many leaders died there was some chaos, some swore themselves to the new leaders, others tried to take the position for themselves. Now there are gangs and they're practically at each other's throats." Magnus explained.
"That's not good."
"Anyway, I don't want to talk politics. It's Halloween, I want to get drunk, dance, and do things that will fuel the gossip machine. Would you like to join me?" He asked.
"Um maybe without the gossip fueling." Alec said.
"Nonsense! It's a package!" He said and pulled Alec behind him to dance.
Simon
Simon was dancing with Isabelle when he thought of something.
"I just realized the first time we danced was at a party here." Simon said.
"I remember, you were turned into a rat." Isabelle laughed.
"That night went very downhill from there." Simon said.
"Yeah hopefully this night won't." She said and kissed Simon.
...
Jace
Jace, Clary, Simon and Isabelle were stumbling home, mildly intoxicated. They passed by the foster home, which had appeared to calmed down a bit and arrived at the Institute and were greeted by the sight of Jocelyn and Maryse looking very angry.
"Why were you out this late?" Jocelyn asked.
"It Halloween we were at Halloween parties." Jace supplied.
"Parties? Plural?" Maryse asked.
"Yeah, one with kids from school and on at Magnus's." Isabelle slurred slightly.
"Are you four drunk?" Jocelyn asked.
"No."
"I'm pretty sure you are, are there any other chemicals running through your veins?" Jocelyn pressed.
"No mom!" Clary exclaimed.
"Well I'm disappointed in you for getting drunk." Jocelyn said. "Did anything else happen at the party?"
"No." Clary answered before anyone could say anything.
"Fine, it's late and I am going to go to bed, but no more parties." Jocelyn said, leaving.
"All of you bed, now." Maryse said.
Once they were in his room Clary sighed and leaned back on the bed.
"Why didn't you tell Jocelyn what happened at the party?" Jace asked.
"I didn't want her to blow it up and make me stay at home or something. It's much more fun staying here." Clary said.
"Really?" Jace said approaching her with a smile.
"Really. I think we should finish what we started in the alley, don't you?" She smiled back.
"Definitely." He said and pulled her in for a kiss.
A/N- so I have some bad news for my readers. I am going on vacation next week and will not be able to post. I will be back for a few days after, but then I will be going to a camp where they don't allow phones or anything for three weeks. I feel this is a good place to stop for now (I will most likely continue in late august when I get back) but I will give my readers an option:
A) wait until I get back from camp for me to update
B) I will post another update once I get back from vacation BUT it may have a cliffhanger
Make sure to comment and tell me what you would prefer and when I get back from vacation I will tally the votes and decide which option to do
And before I go away for a little bit I really wanted to thank everyone who has reviewed, especially those who review on almost every chapter because reviews make me happy and give me the confidence to write more and make me feel appreciated enough to write more, I love you all!
