Shadow hunters and demigods

Clary's P.O.V

I was hanging out with Simon way more often. He seemed to be getting some of his memories back, and I started hoping that one day he would be the Simon Izzy, Alec, Jace and I knew.
He also got to know that i was his "girlfriend" at a point, but it didn't really get awkward. For some time it felt just like the old times again.......We talked about things like- Video games, training, Isabelle and ducks while sitting in our favourite cafe.
He started the conversation by explaining how he won a duck. "I won a duck in a fair. It was looking at me, all puppy eyed (more like ducky eyed) and i just had to atleast try and win it."
All I could think about, at that moment, was Jace "Jace loves ducks" I said sarcastically, dreaming about the conversation I had with him on the boat.
"You should give him the duck someday, he'll love it!!!".
"Let's go now" he responded with a wide smirk, as big as his narrow face. His expression looked like he knew that Jace didnt like ducks. Suddenly, my phone rang, bringing me back from my thoughts. It was Jace .
" Bring Simon to the institute, fast " he said and cut the phone. He sounded like he was in a hurry.
Frowning, i turned to Simon and told him "Get your duck, we're going to meet Jace".

Simon's P.O.V

Clary sounded very serious, so I took my duck and we raced to the institute. I found it easier to find my way there now, because Clary always took me with her when she went to meet Jace (ugh).
We took the elevator and went up. Clary ran up to Jace and whispered something in his ear as I set the duck down. At first he didn't notice. Then, the duck looked around, decided it liked Jace the best from everyone in the room, and ran up to him quacking.
Jace glanced at the duck and the expression on his face was priceless. He shrieked and ran around screaming  " Take that creature away, take it away".
"I get the feeling he didn't like the gift" I whispered to clary. "
"Who told you to bring that damn duck here" Jace demanded, sounding like he wanted to cut my head off . Right then, Clary burst into laughter. Jace glared at her and began chasing her all around the room.
"Dude, you brought me here to watch you play Tom and Jerry?" I asked giving an exaggerated sigh.
"No" Jace said going red. "I need to talk to you" and glaring at Clary, he added "alone".
Clary crossed her arms and said "No. There's no way I'm going out. Simon is my best friend and whatever you have to say to him, you can say in front of me". Then she added "unless you're going to make out. Then I'll definitely get out".
At that, Jace made a face and said "I am definitely not going to make out with him ".
" What's wrong with me?" I asked him, scowling.
"So you want to make out with me? I knew it. Everyone wants to make out with me" he said.
"I do not want to make out with you" I informed him rolling my eyes.
"If you're not going to make out, I'm staying", Clary stated sitting down next to me.
"Fine" Jace said giving in and sitting down opposite to us. "So as you already know, many shadowhunters lost their lives in the war and the clave has decided it's time to create more. And you could be one of them. But, drinking from the mortal cup is dangerous. Not everyone survives. First you'll have to undergo hard training with an expert like me" he said.
" Man, training with you sounds like torture" I commented.
Jace scowled at me and continued "As I was saying, being a shadowhunter is not an easy thing................."and for  the next half hour he blabbered some shit about shadowhunterism. When he was finally done, Clary said we should head to the training area for a bit. Jace agreed and we got up and left.

Jace's P.O.V

After I finished my igneous lecture on the shadow world, we got up and left for the training area. Simon opened his mouth to say something, tripped on a stone, and fell flat on his face.
"You've got a lot to learn", I informed him as Clary helped him up. He muttered something about dumb blondes and proud shadowhunters the rest of the way.
We reached the training area and I showed Simon some of the simplest moves and told him to repeat them. He din't do great. In fact, he was horrible  but he seemed to be having fun.
"So this is your badass training? My friends Eric, Matt and Kirk would love it. How about I bring them for training too?" Simon asked.
I thought about it; I was already training an idiot, what harm could training three more idiots do? It was only for a week any way. "Its not a bad idea. Call them and tell them to meet us in a cafe right away" I told him. 

*half an hour later*

We were in the cafe and Simon had just finished explaining the shadow world to his friends. "So you mean to say vampires and stuff really exist?"Kirk asked.
"Yes" Simon replied nodding.  
"Dude that is so cool" Eric said.
"Shadowhunters are just like superheroes" Matt commented.
"Being a shadowhunter will be like living in D&D!" Kirk exclaimed.
Stupid mundanes I thought sighing. "Becoming a shadowhunter is no video game. You could burn  drinking out of the mortal cup. You may not even survive the training" I informed them.
"If we're training with you, we probably won't survive" Simon muttered.
"Being a shadowhunter is not an easy....." I started beginning my splendid speech and ignoring Simon.

*after super-long speech *

My speech seemed to have made no effect on Simon's stupid mundane friends. They still seemed to think it was some sort of a video game. Simon did not seem too interested in hearing my speech the second time.
He yawned more than 15 times. "So you still want to be shadowhunters?" I asked them getting up.
"Dude, totally" Eric replied, while Matt said " Yes" and Kirk just nodded.
"Well then lets go to the training area and see your skills. We went to the arena and i showed them the same moves i showed Simon. And... Well, they were worse than Simon. I didn't even think that was possible. This was possibly going to be the worst week in my life. 

Simon's P.O.V

Training with Jace was HORRIBLE. He made us do loads of dumb, super hard exercises. Me and my mates were convinced that we won't even survive the training, let alone the cup. I couldn't wait for the week to get over...
