Chapter Two

"Guys, the girl is in the infirmary, so do what you need and get there." Jace had told the two after helping Scarlett up. His hand lingered on her lower back for a bit and then he left.

"I'm going to go shower." Scar said, a smile perking up her cheeks. Alec's brows furrowed at the blonde who probably just broke her ankle and is now smiling.

"How are you smiling? You just broke your ankle." Alec asked, crossing his arms.

Scarlett walked slowly up to him. "Alec it was the adrenaline. The rush of jumping down, feeling the wind whip at your skin. I've broken my ankle before." She explained, using her arms for more expression.

Her stared down at her, her copying his actions. "Try it sometime. Yeah you may get hurt, but we have a risk of dying everyday of our lives so who the hell cares?" Scarlett said, patting his chest and walking away.

She walked to her room and had her shower. She walked out, scrunching her hair with the towel for her hair. The other was wrapping around her chest.

A knock on the door was heard and then it slightly opened. "The girl's name is Clary Fray. We'll explain more once you're out." Jace explained, his voice slightly muffled.

"Yeah, alright. Just getting dressed." Scarlett yelled back, and walked to her dresser. The door shut and muffled footsteps faded as Jace walked away from her door.

She grabbed a black long sleeve crop top with thumb holes, and black shorts. She changed quickly, jamming her thumbs through the holes and wiggling them with a small smile on her face. She then put her glasses on, and wiggled her nose. She shoved her stele in her waistband of her shorts against her hip.

She opened the door and walked out. Scar guessed they were still in the infirmary, so she went there first. She entered and stared at Clary looking out the window with Jace beside her.

Clary turned around and smiled softly at Scarlett.

"Hi. Scarlett Forbes." She introduced herself and walked a bit closer. Clary held her phone to her stomach. "Hi. Clary Fray." She said, then looked down to her shirt.

"Umm, what happened to my clothes?" She asked Jace as he was flipping through her sketchbook.

"Demon venom. Remember?" He asked, furrowing his brows a bit. Clary stared wide eyed at the blonde boy in front of her.

"Isabelle, left you these." Jace said, pointing to a pair of black clothes. Scarlett chuckled a bit, knowing Izzy's wardrobe. Clary probably wouldn't like it that much.

Clary walked over to them and picked up a pair of boots. "What, you're kidding right?" She asked.

Scarlett nodded to her. "She's very comfortable with her body."

"You are too." Clary remarked a bit, looking at Scar's current outfit. Scarlett looked down. She had her glamour rune on her hip bone, and her stealth rune on her rib. Scarlett switched her weight, crossing her arms. "So? Am I not aloud to feel comfortable in my skin?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at Clary.

Clary nodded her head no and went to the clothes.

Scarlett rolled her eyes and turned around and walked out and to the screens. They were obviously looking at someone.

"Scarlett!" A voice called out from a couple screens over. Scarlett jogged over. "The screen's glitchy. Whenever I try to zoom in it lags and goes to a different part of Brooklyn and same goes for when I try to zoom out." She said, looking Scar up and down quick and then landing on her eyes.
