A Lost Soul Returned

Safe House

It was early morning when they'd arrived and the portal had taken a lot out of them. "What the hell kind of portaling was that?" Jace asked holding his stomach. Only Magnus and Jonathan appeared unaffected by it "portaling without being traced is tricky" was the only explanation he offered. They regained their composure and looked around amazed at it's beauty "it reminds me of the other house" Clary whispered to Jace wrapping her arms around herself. "They're all pretty much the same, each one has subtle differences but nothing major. There are clothes for Jocelyn in all of them if you want to change" he offered pointing at the stairs. "Clothes for Jocelyn?" Izzy asked confused. Clary told them about the time she'd spent with them while they were possessed by Sebastian and how Valentine really did love her mother and hoped she'd come back one day. After the story everyone broke off to find a room. Clary went into the master bedroom and found a pair of silk shorts and tank top to sleep in, she also found a mid length slip with lace straps for Isabelle, though she was fuller than Clary and her mother the material stretched so she was sure it would fit. When she opened the door Isabelle was there getting ready to knock, Clary laughed and handed her the gown; Izzy's face lit up. "I could never imagine you mother wearing such things"

"I don't want to imagine her wearing such things" Clary laughed closing the door behind them. Clary paused when she saw Izzy going into her brother's room. "Is this okay with you, is it weird?" Izzy asked suddenly. "No and yes" Alec said from behind them. "Who asked you" Izzy growled making him take a step back. Izzy shook her head and entered Jonathan's room leaving Alec and Clary staring at each other, he opened his mouth to speak but Clary held up her hand. "She's your little sister I get that, you want to protect her from everything but if you did that she'd never experience anything" Clary started. "From the moment I saw Jace he was mine and the same can be said for you and Magnus"

"but Jace and Magnus wasn't trying to kill us" Alec said in a defeated tone. Clary walked over and pulled Alec into a light hug and was shocked when he hugged her back. "Sebastian had the opportunity to kill Isabelle but didn't. Ask yourself why that is... or better yet, ask Jonathan" she said turning and going into Jace's room. "Or ask your incredibly handsome boyfriend" Magnus added coming up the stairs from the kitchen with wine. "And how would my incredibly handsome boyfriend know this" Alec countered reaching up and kissing Magnus gently on the neck causing him to squeal. "Get A Room!" both Jace and Jonathan yelled together, Clary and Izzy's giggles could also be heard. "Ugh it's like having two Jace's" Alec said following Magnus into their room. Isabelle stood looking out of the window at the water while Jonathan was in the shower. The view was breathtaking. She closed her eyes and thought about the events that led her to this moment, how in the blink of an eye she went from crying over Simon to helplessly falling in love with Jonathan. She thought about how when she'd first met Simon he annoyed her and was timid and weak, circumstances broke him out of his shell and made him stronger but what he lacked was that element of danger that she loved. Jonathan was fearless, he threw himself in front of her at Pandemonium without a second thought, never flinched when Jace tried to kill him in the infirmary; he wasn't just safe, he made her feel safe. It wasn't awkward when they danced in the club and every moment after made her realize how much they were alike. "You look beautiful" he whispered in her ear making her shiver. She turned and stared at his bare chest decorated with scars, her eyes traveled up to his angelic face. His white hair perfectly framed his face, his eyelashes were long casting shadows over his emerald eyes deepening their color; she blushed at the sight of teeth marks at the base of his throat and she ran a finger along the tiny scratches on his arms. "I take those as a compliment" he smirked. He grabbed her arm and pulled her over to the mirror and positioned himself behind her pulling all of her hair over to one side. She laughed at the sight of the trail of small red marks along the collarbone having not noticing them before; he then slid his hand down her back then along her thigh slowly pulling up her gown exposing her hip. Just above the waistband of her underwear was a hand print that he matched to his own hand. She turned and softly placed her lips on his and he returned the kiss. Unlike the others this kiss was soft and passionate, lustful and worshipful; she jumped and he caught her allowing her to fasten her legs around his waist. A loud bump on the wall broke the kiss and shock took its place; Jonathan gently let Izzy down. "I'd rather not have to listen to you defile my sister in there!" Jonathan yelled knocking on the wall. "I'm going to have nightmares" he said climbing into bed. Izzy slid backward until she was pressed against Jonathan's chest already half asleep, he draped an arm over her and let his dreams claim him as well.
