Chapter One

(This begins halfway through 3x12. Jace has just arrived)
Clary
Jonathan held tightly onto my arm as he walked quickly down the path. On my left was the magnificent Eiffel Tower which I had always dreamed of. But I didn't want to see it like this, I wanted to explore the beautiful city of Paris with Jace, laughing as we ran through the streets, strolling through the Louvre and kissing on top of the Eiffel Tower. But instead here I am trapped by this mark connecting me and my evil brother. Jonathan was talking in my ear about some important sword that he can't wait to give me, until I saw my opportunity.

His grasp on my wrist loosened and I twisted my arm and ran. In these stupid heels he is bound to catch up soon but if I can just get the attention of someone, they might be able to help. I ran and ran but he was quickly catching up behind me. Then the icy cold fingers grabbed my forearm and I knew it was over. But something in Jonathan's eyes intrigued me, it was a look of fear. He stumbled as he quickly tried to pull me away from whatever he had seen. And before I could turn around to see what it was, two warm strong arms circled my waist and held on tight. Fear ran through me, although the tunes on his arms did give me some sort of relief.

Jonathan let go of my arm and left me in the embrace of the stranger. "Let go of her", his voice ran chills though me as he directed the threat at the mystery man. It wasn't until the man spoke that I relaxed completely. His familiar voice allowed me to relax into his arms finally feeling safe for the first time in days. "Not a chance", returned Jace. I breathed out, not realising I was holding my breath and rested my head backwards against his shoulders.

Then out of the counter of my eye I saw Izzy and Alec ran towards us, finally catching up to Jace. Alec readied his bow before shooting a perfect arrow into Jonathan's shoulder. It took less than seconds before the pain came searing into mine and I cried out in pain. The strong arms circling my waist twisted me around so my eyes locked with blue and brown ones. His eyes looked scared as they questioned me just before his voice did, " Clary, what's wrong". His eyes searched mine for the question as I breathed through the pain. Seconds later I whispered, "if you hurt him, you hurt me".

The look on Jace's face broke my heart as Alec aligned another arrow. "Stop", Jace yelled in Alec's direction never breaking eye contact with me, "don't kill him, it will kill clary". I heard Alec and Izzy protest and looking for answers but I was too absorbed in the pain and amazement they had found me. "Just contain him and we will take him back to the Institue", Jace said confidently as he placed one hand on my neck and another reached for a Stele to heal my shoulder.

In the background Alec and Izzy were constraining Jonathan, who had collapsed to the floor after the arrow, with handcuffs. While Jace's embrace tightened around me and I rested my forehead against his. " I'll never leave your side, Clary. What do you want to do now". Without moving, i replied to him in a whisper, " just take me home".
