Here's chapter 1. Summery: Jace and Clary are Shadowhunters in love. The only problem? She doesn't know that he is a Shadowhunter and he doesn't that she is one either. Will they ever find out the truth about each other,and if they do, will it bring them closer or pull them apart?


"Mom! I'm home!" Clary walked into her house and laid her messenger bag on the kitchen counter.

Jocelyn came running down the steps, paint brush in hand. Clary could see her mother's runes on her arms because of her short sleeves. "Hi, sweetie. How was school?"

"Good, Simon and I went to Java Jones after so that's why I'm late."

"That's fine. Luke said that he's getting new books today so he can't do training."

"Okay. Oh, Izzy wanted to know if I would go with her and Alec to Pandemonium tonight."

"For hunting?" Clary laughed at her mom. Why else would she go to the club if it wasn't for hunting demons. She nodded as Jocelyn placed the paint brush in her hair. "Okay, don't forget your stele and dagger."

"Love you."

"Love you too Clary." Clary rushed to her room and tried to find clothes to wear. Every time she went out to clubs with Isabelle, she felt underdressed. Isabelle was tall and beautiful, and Clary was short with red hair and freckles.

When she couldn't find anything, she went to her mom and Luke's room to find something. She found a skin tight purple dress that she loved so she went back to her room to change into it. At 8, she hailed a taxi and headed to Pandemonium.

When she got there, she saw Izzy and Alec waiting for her. "You're late, Morgenstern," Alec said, his arms across the chest of his gear.

"Fray, Alec. How many times to I have to tell you I prefer my mundane name?"

"As many times as I tell you that it's stupid you even have a mundane name. You're a shadowhunter. Why would you want to be anything else?"

"I'll tell you why she does it," Isabelle put in. "It's that hot boyfriend she has. If she didn't act like a mundane, then she wouldn't get to see that hot ass everyday."

"Izzy!"

"What? You know it's true."

"Can we go in now?"

"It's a shame he isn't a Shadowhunter. I would love to see him moving," Izzy murmured Clary drew a rune on her shoulder for invisibility to mundanes and walked into the club, her friends trailing behind. They walked up two steps to get to the higher part of the club so that they could look out.

"Guess what!" Izzy shouted over the music.

"What!" Clary shouted back.

"Apparently there's another Shadowhunter in the city."

"What! How come I'm just now hearing of this?"

"I just found out. My mom was saying how they just now found out and that he's been in hiding until recently."

"He?"

"Yeah. He's a Herondale."

"Like Stephan and Celine?"

"Yeah, their son."

"I thought all the Herondales were dead. This must be really good news. Is he coming to the Institute?"

"Once my mom can get his exact location, she wanted to know if you would go with me to get him."

"Of course I'll come. Wait, if his parents are dead, who's been teaching him?"

"I don't know. Maybe mom does." The girls looked back at the crowd and waited for demon activity, which never came.


"Jace, you ready?" Jace looked over at Jordan and nodded. The two of them were supposed to be studying for a test they had, but they decided to race each other, Shadow hunter vs. Werewolf. He saw Jordan transform into a wolf then he looked forward. Jace had his black gear on and his golden hair in his face.

"Go!" Jace shouted as he started running at his fastest speed. They ran a mile down an abandoned road. In the end it was almost a tie, but Jordan did win. He transformed back into a human and looked at Jace, who was trying to catch his breath. "You know, if you didn't decide to school, we could be doing this everyday," Jordan stated.

"Yeah, but who's going to protect the people in the school for all the things in the world?"

"Demons don't come out in the day and any downworlder who does decide to attack high school kids is breaking the Accords. We both know why you really go to school with the humans."

"Someone has to protect her. And as her boyfriend, I prefer that someone to be me."

"But you haven't told her what you are yet?"

"No, she's a mundane, I don't want to bring her into anything."

"What happens when you're not with her?"

"I can only hope that she would call me and I would come running."

"God, you must really like this girl. This is the longest relationship you've had and it's with a human."

"I love her. Even though she isn't a shadowhunter. Besides, you go to school too, not just me."

"I go because you're my friend and I know that you would probably do something stupid if I wasn't there."

"Thank you, so much, for all the faith. I really mean it." Jordan rolled his eyes as the two teenagers walked back to Jordan's apartment.

"So what are you doing for your one year anniversary?"

"How the hell do you know when our anniversary is?"

"Dude, I remember you coming into the apartment dancing like a freaking leprechaun saying that you had a date with her."

"I do not dance like a leprechaun. And I can't tell you because then you'll tell her."


The next morning Clary woke up to her phone ringing. When she looked at the Caller I.D., she smiled. "Hello."

"Hello, is Miss Clarissa Fray there. This is here charming, handsome, smart, and sexy boyfriend. I could use more descriptive words, but that would take all day."

"This must be Mr. Jace Wayland. I'm sorry but Clarissa found another hot guy to be with."

"Wow, okay, well that stings." They both laughed. She loved his laugh. "Do you want to do something today?" Clary looked at the clock on her nightstand and remembered that it was Saturday. Then she also remembered that she had morning training at the Institute.

"Yeah, how about I meet you at Central Park around 1?"

"Sounds good. Lunch is on me."

"Okay, see you then. Oh, and, Jace."

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

Clary could hear his smile in his voice when he said, "I love you too, Clary." They hung up and Clary changed into her training clothes. In her messenger bag, she packed shorts and a shirt that she knew Jace loved.


I hope you liked it!
