Disclaimer: I just checked in the mirror and sadly I am not Cassandra Clare.
This story has been lurking around in the back of my head for a while now and I'm so happy to finally get it written down. So here it is the first chapter of Dark Princess. Oh and the title will make sense later.
Chapter 1 - A Shopping Trip Gone Wrong
Clary POV
I leaned back against Jace's chest and smiled. It had been just over a week since the battle in Idris and I couldn't be happier. Valentine was dead, my mom was alive and well, Simon seamed to be getting along pretty well as a vampire and most importantly I could finally be with Jace.
We were in the greenhouse just like the first night. It was early morning and the sun streamed in warming our bodies and lighting up the room. Jace's arm wrapped around me and he kissed the top of my head.
"This is almost perfect." He murmered into my hair.
"Almost?" I turned my head to look at him. The sun made his hair look like gold and lit up his face making him look like an angel. My angel.
"It would be perfect if Izzy wasn't in the kitchen making us breakfast. I think we should make our escape before she comes looking for us." He grinned mischievously and handed me his stele.
I grinned back and quickly drew up a portal on the floor to central park. Jace lifted me into his arms bridal stlye making me laugh and stepped into the portal. We came out on the top of a hill surrounded by trees on the other side.
Jace set me down on the grass and sat down beside me wrapped me up in his arms again.
"Now this is perfect."
"Yes it is." I sighed.
We sat there like that until the sun was high in the sky before we set off in search of breakfast. I found a small bakery not far from the park with tables set outside. We seated ourselves and ordered from the menu. A few minutes later Isabelle and Alec showed up.
"Alec look it's Jace and Clary." Izzy said in shock.
"Jace and Clary you mean the two people that live in the Institute but never seem to be there?"
"Yes the very same."
"Okay enough, we're not gone that much." I cut in.
"Clary it's bean what a week since we've gotten back and I've seen you for all of five minutes." Izzy said.
"And Jace the only time I see you is when we're fighting and even then Clary's with you." said Alec.
"It's not my fault Magnus has been away all week and Simon can't choose between you or the werewolf." Jace replied.
"Jace! Be nice." I scolded.
"Yeah listen to Clary and who said I liked Simon?"
"What about me?" Simon walked up behind them.
"I was just saying that Isabelle here shouldn't mope just because mmhmhmhm……" I covered Jace's mouth with my hand muffling his words.
"We were wondering where you have been." I said.
"I could ask you the same thing."
"Oh not you to. We have spent time with you guys."
"Barely." Isabelle said.
"Uh, Clary I love you and all but I do not appriciate you cutting me off in the middle of my speech." Jace said after he pulled my hand off his mouth.
I just shook my head and smiled sweetly at him. "I was just trying to keep you from blurting out something that will make Isabelle hurt you later."
Jace made a face at me and Isabelle just laughed and said. "She's got a point you know."
"As entertaining as this conversation is I have to get home, my mom asked me to clean out the garage and that was an hour ago.." Simon said before he left.
"Bye Simon." I hugged him before he left.
"So Clary would you like to do some shopping with me or are you going to continue ignoring me?" Isabelle tried to guilt me into spending some time with her and sadly it worked.
"Okay fine but just for a few hours and I have some rules. No heels over three inches, and no dresses or skirts shorter than two inches above my knee"
"But that takes all the fun out of shopping." Isabelle wined.
Alec and Jace laughed.
"Sorry Izzy but those are my terms."
"Fine." she grudgingly agreed. "Let's go then.
"But Clary I though we were going to spend the day together." Jace wined, a sight I never thought I would see.
I looked at Isabelle pleadingly. "Okay fine he can come but he has to hold the bags and not complain."
"Done." Jace perked up and slipped his hand into mine grinning like an idiot.
"When did you become such a pushover." Alec asked.
"I'm not a pushover, I just want to spend some time with Clary."
Alec shook his head. "Well have fun." He was about to leave when Isabelle stopped him.
"Oh no you're coming with us to."
"What! Why?"
"Because you need some new clothes as well and I am not letting you shop for yourself."
"Fine I'll come."
Jace snickered. "Who's the pushover now bro."
"Shut up Jace you and me both know that there's no use in fighting Isabelle. She'll get her way eventually."
We spent the next few hours being dragged in and out of various stores. We finally stopped to rest on a park bench for a few minutes but apparently the universe didn't want us to rest because about twenty demons descended upon us the second we sat down. We pulled out our blades and Izzy pulled out her whip and fought them but more and more came. They didn't fight us so much as try to push us backwards and when I looked behind us I saw why. A huge portal had been opened to who knows where and the demons were trying to force us into it. I tried to tell the others but I was to late.
We plunged into the portal and it closed up right after. This portal was different from any other I had been in. For one it was much longer and there were random colours swirling around giving me a headache.
After what felt like hours later we finally fell out of the portal and landed in a sea of people.
I'm actually pretty happy with how this turned out and don't worry there will be no Max or Jonathan returns. I covered those in my other fanfics. PLease tell me what you think.
