Betrayed

Chapter 10

Jace POV

I couldn't believe it. It was her, it was really her. I couldn't move. She was facing a demon, alone. My head was screaming at me to move, to help, to do something, but my feet stayed rooted in place.

I watched in silent awe as Clary shielded the weeping boy with herself in front of the demon.

"Hunter!" She cried.

She said it with enough emotion to make me wonder what this boy actually meant to her. The demon crept closer to her and something strange happened, it didn't move to harm her. It seemed to be conversing with her.

"I will kill your friend slowly," it said " but you, well we have special instructions for you."

"You've forgotten one thing." Clary smiled wickedly.

"And what might that be?" The demon had gotten so close to her now, almost as if to embrace her than kill her. I mean yeah she's like irresistible but, demons? Seriously?

"No one messes with my boyfriend." She said as she plunged a hidden dagger into the demons chest.

The demons eyes widened a bit before he crumbled to the dark cobblestone with a sickening thud. She turned to the now silent Hunter and helped him to his feet.

Wait, did she say boyfriend? Now that got my attention.

I said as much.

"Boyfriend?"

She turned around and had finally seemed to notice me and the rest of us stating at her in shock.

"Jace."

Izzy's POV

"Clary!" I yelled, tackling her in a massive bear hug.

"Uh Izzy," she gasped "Can't- breath."

"Oh right." I said sheepishly, pulling away from her.

Then I thought better of the situation at hand.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? BY THE ANGEL CLARY I'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK!"

"Good to see you too Isabelle." Clary chuckled.

"If you ever try anything like that again-"

"Alright mom! Chill!"

Clary turned to the rest of the group.

"Hey guys." She said with a small wave.

Magnus strode forward, glitter sparkling in the sunlight, and pulled Clary into a hug.

"I missed you, biscuit." He said.

"I missed you too Magnus." She said. She turned around. "Wait a second, Hunter!" She ran to the other side of the square and put an arm around the boy who had been attacked by the demon. I had to admit even with a tear streaked, patchy face, he was hot. Like not just normal hot, but like Greek god hot.

"Hunter are you alright? What happened back there?" She asked him.

"I don't know..." He said. He was holding on to Clary as though she could disappear at any moment. "One minute I'm kicking demon ass and the next you...you were dying and I couldn't save you." A single tear made it down his cheek.

"Hey," Clary said, holding him, "I'm okay, its okay, I'm right here."

The concern on her face was evident.

"Come on," I said, "I know a place where he can rest for a bit. Besides there are some people who have missed you, Clary." I smirked. I was so gonna get brownie points for this.

The rest of group followed me as I turned to walk down the street veering to the left, out of the square as clave officials began swarming the area for remnants of the attack.

As we were leaving I heard Jace muttering something about "stupid beautiful boyfriends."

Hmmmm.
