Jaces POV-
Confusion.
That's all I felt. I just followed blindly after this girl. She was the one and only daughter of Valentine Morgenstern, one of the most feared shadow hunters.
And I'm following his daughter around like a lost puppy, in a haze.
How did she get that portal open without a warlock? What are all those strange ruins. Were they from some other dark magic book? It wouldn't surprise me, they are Morgensterns.
Clary has the ability to constantly surprise me, as she just has. Yet again. This shouldn't be happening! But when we ended up standing in the actual city of Alicante, in one of the alleyways.
This shouldn't happen. It should have sent us to the bottom of the lake!
"I need you to tell me what happened to Simon and where he is. I'll go fetch him, and we can leave." She said with a sweet smile. It seemed like a sweet smile anyways, in her eyes she was challenging everyone to argue with her.
"Because he is a vampire, they took him, probably locked him up in the prisons. We had to bring him, said he was our protector or something. Even though we certainly don't need a protector. Clearly the clave didn't agree to him being here"
She just rolled her eyes and stalked off. She turned the corner and disappeared.
We all ran after her, my weapons dangling from various places all over me.
We turned around the corner and came to a sudden stop, Clary literally has disappeared. The alley way was empty. I drew a short sword and crouched down low before slowly making my way through the alley. It was suspiciously quiet.
I heard a small scuffling, I only just noticed. I spun around to find Clary crouched on the floor, her back towards us. When did she get there? I turned around again trying to see what she could have done. This woman!
"Clary-" she silenced me by holding her hand up over her shoulder
"This way" she silently walked forwards. The rest of us followed behind her. There were only afew signs of struggle throughout the town. Most had been tidied up though. A crack in a window, dried blood or ichor spread on the wall, scratches on the floor. It wouldn't really be very noticeable if you didn't know what to look for. Clary continued to walk through the town, not sparing it a glance. I scowled, she had basically done this, she had helped this happen. Just so Valentine could spread a pang of fear through the shadowhunter population.
Clary stopped infront of a low building. The walls were made of thick rock and various runes were scratched into them.
It looked slightly burned. Clary turned to face us.
I smirked at her and she smirked back. Woah she looked sexy with a smirk.
Did I just say that? By the angel what is happening to me.
"Simon is in here" she walked purposefully around the corner and crouched down. Just before we made it to her, we saw her gazing at the bars that rose from the ground and she looked into the cell. Simon was lying on a bed, barely breathing. "Jace, I need you to rip the bars off"
"The runes stop me"
"Not anymore" flashing her stele with a grin.
I kneeled down and pulled heavily on the bars. They came straight off.
Clary slipped through the opening I had just made.
A minute later, Simons head and shoulders popped through the hole. I tugged on his shoulders, he looked terrible.
Although I really didn't like him, I felt sorry for him.
He clearly hadn't been fed while he was in there.
As Clary was climbing back up through the hole, Simons eyes snapped open.
His mouth opened and his fangs were piercing his lower lip.
He sat up so quickly I fell backwards and he was ontop of me in less than a second.
I felt his fangs pierce the skin of my right wrist, oh crap.
I used my left hand to reach for my seraph blade, but before I got to it, Clary had pulled Simon off me and pinned him to the ground with a blade at his neck.
"Everyone step back" we did as she asked before a full blown smile came across her face. She looked adorable, her green eyes wide, she looked younger.
"Simon! Oh how I have missed you!" She hugged Simon tight around the neck and I felt a pang of jealousy go through my stomach.
She pulled out a brown paper back and tore it open then handed it to Simon. He yanked out a plastic packet full of red liquid and downed it quickly. He looked at us then sheepishly looked away before disappearing around the corner.
He came back a few minutes later with afew empty blood bags.
"Sorry, I don't like doing that infront of people. And Jace, you have no idea how sorry I am man, I was just so thirsty you have no idea what it feels like." He looked at me apologetically. I gave him a look telling him I was pissed and slightly disgusted but sighed, "It's fine, you couldn't help it. But you are so never doing that again" he nodded before turning to Clary and giving her another hug.
"Your welcome by the way" Clary said,
"For what?" Simon replied sounding slightly confused.
"I saved your life...again"
