Clary's POV

     After I got released from the nurse's office, I started to walk back to my house. I know I drive a car, but I don't live that far from the school. I can get my car later, but that's besides the point. As I was walking, I noticed that I was walking behind Jace. I know that body from anywhere. So I took a risk for once in my life and decided to follow him.

    Once we has arrived at is house, I hid behind a big tree to make sure that he didn't see me at all. He got inside, and I quietly ran toward the front door. I noticed that it was still open and I quietly looked inside. Jace wasn't alone inside his small home. There was another man there with him that I didn't recognize.

"Hello Jace. I told you I'd be back," the man said to him with a weird look on his face. Like he was victorious or something.

"I know. I read your note. I was really hoping you were bluffing," Jace said, sounding really annoyed.

"Why? You scared Wayland?"

"No, because I'm tired of all of you and your peoples' bullshit. I left that life. What do you not understand about that?"

"We understand the concept, but we just don't like it. You know what happened to all of the others that left. You either die or you basically live on the run until we kill you," the mysterious man said. What was Jace apart of?!

"I had a good reason for leaving! My sister died for f.ucks sake! I don't want anyone else I care about dying because of the s.hit I got into," he exclaimed, almost yelling. I didn't know his sister was dead. I knew her when Jace and I were young and best friends.

"People like Clary? She's real pretty too. Maybe we'll go and get her. Make her a girl," the man said. I didn't want to know what that meant, but I had a feeling by the way he was speaking. Wait, how does he know me?!

"Do not pull her into this or I swear I will rip your head off," he growled and he moved closer to the man. I gasped softly, the worst thoughts coming into my mind about what Jace could do.

The man was about to say something else, but I cut him off by finally speaking up.

"Jace? What's going on?"I asked.

"Nothing Clary. Just go home," he said to me with a firm yet gentle voice.

"Speak of the angel. Why don't you tell her what you're into and what happens when people get close to you," the man said. Just after he said that, Jace's fist collided with his face. He punched him 2 more times before he was on the ground. Jace climbed on top of him, punching him over and over again. I watched in horror, tears starting to fall down my cheeks. I decided to end this now because it looked like Jace was about to beat him to death. So I grabbed his arm with all of my strength.

"Jace! Stop, please! You're going to kill him!" I screamed behind him. Jace stopped beating him up, and grabbed him by the arm. Jace threw him out of the house, and slammed the door behind him. He turned around to face me.

"What's going on?" I asked him after a few minutes of silence. I needed to know the truth.

"I...I can't tell you," he said quietly.

"Can't tell me my a.ss. Tell me something then. I need to know what's going on! Your sister is dead and you never said anything. That man that was just here knew who I was, and threatened to sell me as a prostitute, I think. So you may think I don't need to know, but now I have every right to know. At least something," I exclaimed as tears continuously rolled down my face.

"I'm trying to protect you don't you get it?! By knowing what I was involved in, it puts you in even more danger! I can't have what happened to my sister happen to anyone else, especially you," he yelled, frustration clear in his voice. Not frustration with me, but with himself it seems.

"It's too late for that! Theses people already know who I am, and I heard the entire conversation you just had with that guy. And if you care so much about me, then why kiss another girl? You know how it felt to watch you kiss her? I felt betrayed almost. You said all of that stuff about caring a lot about me and liking me and all of this romantic stuff. Then, the next day you kiss another girl. I even thought liked you. Biggest mistake I ever made," I said, getting more angry and hurt as I spoke.

"She kissed me! I pushed her away as soon as I could. Clary, you have to believe me. I meant everything I said. I thought you knew me enough to know when I was lying or telling the truth," Jace said, tears welling up in his eyes.

"How am I supposed to believe you?!" I screamed at him.

     Before I knew it, his lips were on mine again. This time was different. It wasn't sloppy or rushed like the one was earlier today. When he kissed me, he seemed to pour every feeling into it. I believed him. She had kissed him, and he pushed her away. I was just too blind to believe him. I was pushing him away...

   I pulled away slowly from the kiss, leaning my forehead against his. I leaned up, since he is taller than me, and kissed him softly. Things started to get a bit heated after a few minutes, and he backed up until the back on his knees hit the couch and he fell back onto it. I climbed on top of him, one leg on each side of him. His tongue glided along my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I gladly excepted and parted my lips. His tongue slid into my mouth, and mine into his.

     He soon broke his lips away from mine, and started to lightly kiss my jaw. He moved down my neck, and started to kiss against my sweet spot. A soft moan left my lips, and I could feel him smirk against my neck.

"Found it," he said, causing me to laugh quietly and shake my head slightly.

     He started to suck harder on the spot, and then grazed his teeth against my skin. Great. A hickey. Just what I needed. At this point I didn't really care because it felt amazing. Jace's hands traveled down my back and sides, stopping at the hem of my shirt. He pulled away from my neck to lift my shirt over my head. Once my shirt was off, my upper body was only covered by my mint green, cotton bra.

"Sorry it's not lace or anything sexy," I said shyly and embarrassed, a blush now covering my cheeks.

"No matter what you wear, you always look beautiful and sexy to me," he said, a grin forming on both of our lips.

     I grabbed his shirt, and pulled it over his body, throwing it in some random direction. Once his shirt was off, his lips were on my collarbone. He left delicate kisses along my collarbones and shoulders, before moving down to the curves of my breasts. He sucked lightly on various spots, small whimpers and moans leaving my lips. I even moaned his named once, and he lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Anything you say can and will be used against you, so only say my name," he said with a smirk as he kissed over my body.

"You just became my new favorite person," I said with a small laugh.

"And I wasn't before? I'm hurt Clary," he said teasingly with a fake pout.

"All right all right Mr. Pouty Pants," I said, playfully rolling my eyes at him, laying my head against his chest. His hand ran up and down my back softly, and we sat in a comfortable silence.

We're back, and maybe better than ever.

Unknown POV

    He thinks he can get away? He thinks that he can just leave whenever he wants and have no consequences? That's not how this works and he knows it. If he wants war, he's getting it.

I will not stop until Jace and everyone and everything he cares about it dead and gone.
