The Pandemonium

The punk music fill the Pandemonium. The smell of sweaty bodies filled the shadowhunter lungs.

"Are you sure there are any here?" Simon asked Clary. Isabelle's ruby pendant glowed against her neck.

"Does that answer your question?" Clary replied, pointing to the pendant.

"Why do you care, bloodsucker?" Jace asked, annoyed.

"Remember? I'm not a vampire anymore, pretty boy." Simon said

"I'm sorry, I'm not gay... but thanks for the compliment." Jace said.

"Besides... I'm training." Simon said.

"Jace, over there." Clary said, motioning her head in the direction of a couple, who were goddly gorgeous, the perfect form of a demon.

"Wait... Simon, what do you mean by training?" Isabelle asked.

"Crap!" Simon muttered under his breath.

"Simon!! You werent supposed to say anything!" Alec said angrily.

"Look, now's not the time for any of this. We have demons to get rid of." Clary said and walked towrds the demons.

"Clary's right. We need to kill them before they find us." Jace said, then followed Clary.

They all started to follow Jace towards demons. All was going as planned, for once.

As they approched the demon, they noticed something different. The woman looked towards the man, as if having a silent conversation. Then the woman nodded and walked over to Jace.

"Come and dance with me. I'll give you a night you will never forget." She said.

As she went after Jace, the male went towards Clary.

"Clary..." Simon said cautiously, when the female forgot all about Jace and went after him.

"Come on. We just want to have some fun." said both the male and female.

"Well.... hate to break it to you, but we don't want to have fun." Clary said, and pulled out her weapon.

Then the male and the female looked at eachother, then vanished.

"What the heck!?!" Simon exclaimed.

"Well, what do we do now?" Clary asked Jace.

"We get out of here before any more demons decide to hit on you." Jace said playfully.

"Can't we stay a little longer?" Isabelle asked, in a little kids voice.

"Izzy... I have som..." Simon started to say, before being cut off by Alec smacking his arm.

"Simon, No!!! Now's not the time." he said.

"Okay? How about I go the bathroom with Clary, while you two figure out what you want or not wamt to say to me.Clary?" Isabelle said, grabbing Clary's hand, and dragged her to the bathroom.

Once the girls were gone, Alec turned to Simon and said, "Are you out of your mind?"

"No. But that really hurt." Simon said.

"Look, vampire, we aren't wanting Izzy to get her hopes up." Jace said.

"Again, I'm not a vampire." Simon sighed annoyingly.

"True, but in my book, you will always be a vampire." Jace said.

"Oh my god! Can you not?" Simon whined.

"We are only messing with you." Jace said,while slugging him in the arm.

"And besides, I'm not a vampire anymore because..." Simon said.

"You drank a potion that makes you gas." Jace said with a straight face.

"Nooo!!!!" Simon sighed loudly.

"Jace, stop. Simon, you cant say anything to Izzy until its official. So shut up! When Izzy comes out of the bathroom, tell her you were training for... I dont know... something really geeky." Alec said.

"Why?" Simon asked.

"Because, bloodsucker, her birthday is in 2 weeks. And because its our decision if you become a shadowhunter or not." Jace said

"Are you guys really going to hold this training over my head. Besides, I have an idea of what i want to give her for a gift." Simon said.

"Well, this can also be part of her gift to her. She will be soo happy. And...." Alec said.

"I will regain all of my memory." Simon said.

"Good boy! Now... Sit." Jace said in a sarcastic voice.

"Haha, very funny." Simon replied.

"I see the girls coming back. Remember Simon, something geeky." Alec said, before disappearing into the crowd.

When Isabelle and Clary approached Jace and Simon the lights flickered, then turned off.

"Simon, whats going on?" Isabelle asked very worried.

"I don't know, but we should leave." Jace said.

The lights suddenly turned back on, and everyone in the club resumed dancing, as if nothing happened.

"Guess it was a power surge or something. Anyways, we better get back to the Institute before my mom finds us gone. I don't feel like getting grounded." Clary said.

"Ummm... Aren't we a bit too old for getting grounded?" Alec asked, walking towards the group.

"Where were you?" Isabelle asked.

"Nowhere, so are we going?" Alec asked.

"We were." Jace said, and headed towards the exit.

"Prepare for all heck to break loose." Clary said, as the rest of the shadowhunters left the Pandemonium.
