TMI meets TID 2

19: Isabelle

It had been about a few weeks since Jace had come back from the silent city, and him and Clary were crazy busy planning their wedding.

Clary had been needing me to do favours for her 24/7. I didn't mind though, I understood that Clary had about a billion things to do right now.

Currently, I was in the training room practicing my knife throwing skills. I had to admit, I wasn't very good at it. I threw another knife and it was very far from the target, and I swore in frustration.

"Having trouble?" Said a voice from behind me and I turned around.

There stood Gabriel. He was wearing his training gear, smirking at me. I had never really talked to him. which was kind of surprising since I talked to Cecily quite a bit. I had to admit though, he was really hot.

"Yes I am." I said gritting my teeth frustratedly.

He chuckled. "Here let me help you."

He walked over, and looked at the way I was standing for a second.

"Your legs are too bent. Stand up straight, and your not flicking your wrist enough." He said.

I took his advice and sure enough, the knife landed right in the centre of the target. I threw about ten more and all of them landed in the centre of the target.

"I have an idea." I smirked. "lets have a contest and see who can get four right in the centre of the target."

Gabriel smirked. "Okay, you first."

I stepped in front of the target, and took a deep breath. I then threw the knife and it landed in the middle. I smirked at Gabriel and he smirked back. I then threw the rest of my knives, and they all landed in the centre.

"All thanks to my advice." Gabriel smirked as he stepped up to the target.

I just rolled my eyes and chuckled. Gabriel threw his first knife, and it landed dead in the middle in the middle of the target. He threw two more and they all were perfect. He then threw his last one, and for once it didn't end up in the middle of the target

"Ha! I won!" I smirked.

"I rate that throw a five." Said someone from behind us, and I turned around.

There stood Cecily, who was smirking at Gabriel. Gabriel then threw another knife which hit the centre this time, and turned back to Cecily.

"What about that one, Mrs. Lightwood?" He asked with a smirk.

"Your skill and technique, may perhaps require work. But the native talent certainly there. What you require is practice." Said Cecily while smirking even more.

Gabriel just smirked back her, and they just kept smirking at each other.

Okay this is really awkward, I thought and cleared my throat and they both snapped out of their smirking trance.

"Ummm I'll leave you two now." I said awkwardly and left.

From outside the training room, I could hear Cecily laughing.

"Poor girl, she had to witness that." She said to Gabriel.

I just laughed and walked away.
