Jace,” She Said. “why Are You Doing This To Me?” “because You’re Lying To Me. And You’re Lying To Yourself.” Jace’s Eyes Were Blazing, And Even Though His Hands Were Stuffed Into His Pockets, She Could See That They Were Knotted Into Fists.

He Looked Back At Her, And When She Saw The Look On His Face, She Saw His Eyes At Renwick’s, When He Had Watched The Portal That Separated Him From His Home Shatter Into A Thousand Irretrievable Pieces. He Held Her Gaze For A Split Second, Then Looked Away From Her, The Muscles In His Throat Working.

I Did It Because I Love You!" He Half-shouted, And Then, As If Registering The Shocked Look Her Face, He Said In A More Subdued Voice, "i Love You, Tessa, And I Have Loved You, Almost Since The Moment I Met You.

You Have Something On Your Neck. What Looks Like A Bite Mark, What Were You Doing Out All Night, Anyway? Nothing. I Went Walking In The Park. Tried To Clear My Head. And Ran Into A Vampire What? No! I Fell. On Your Neck?

He Grinned. It Was A Wicked Grin, The Kind That Made The Blood In Clary's Veins Run A Little Faster. "you Want To Go On A Date?" Caught Off Guard, She Stammered. "a Wh-what?" "a Date," Jace Repeated. "often 'a Boring Thing You Have To Memorize In History Class,' But In This Case, 'an Offering Of An Evening Of Blisteringly White-hot Romance With Yours Truly." "really?" Clary Was Not Sure What To Make Of This. "blisteringly White-hot?" "it's Me," Said Jace. "watching Me Play Scrabble Is Enough To Make Most Women Swoon. Imagine If I Actually Put In Some Effort.

Magnus, You Were Trying To Flirt With Your Own Plate." "i'm A Very Open-minded Sort Of Fellow!" "ragnor Is Not," Catarina Said.

It Would Have Never Worked Between Me And The Plate Anyway.

Think Of It As A Lease With An Option To Buy." "mom And Dad Won't Be Pleased If They Find Out." "that You Freed A Possible Criminal By Trading Away Your Brother To A Warlock Who Looks Like A Gay Sonic The Hedgehog And Dresses Like The Child Catcher From Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?" Simon Inquired. "no, Probably Not.

I'm Not Sure That's Such A Great Idea." Luke Said. "it's A Fabulous Idea." Jace Dropped The Paper Back Onto The Table, And Began To Slide Off His Jacket. "i've Got A Stele We Can Use. Who Wants To Do Me?" "a Regrettable Choice Of Words," Magnus Muttered.

Then Again, It Was Jace. He'd Pick A Fight With A Mack Truck If The Urge Took Him.

Were You Ever Actually Going To Leave New York, Or Were You Just Saying That To Get Her To Finally Make A Move?” “clary,” Said Luke, “i Am Shocked That You Would Suggest Such A Thing.

I've Got The Mark Of Cain," Said Simon. "that Means Nothing Can Kill Me, Right?" "you Can Kill Yourself," Magnus Said, Somewhat Unhelpfully.

He Raised His Eyes To Look At Her And She Was Suddenly And Strangely Reminded Of Being Four Years Old At The Beach, Crying When The Wind Came Up And Blew Away The Castle She Had Made. Her Mother Had Told Her She Could Make Another One If She Liked, But It Hadn't Stopped Her Crying Because What She Had Thought Was Permanent Was Not Permanent After All, But Only Made Out Of Sand That Vanished At The Touch Of Wind And Water.

I Would Have Thought Even A Certified Idiot Like Gabriel Here Would Have Taken Account Of It And Notified Someone." "notified Who?" Asked Jem, Not Unreasonably. He Had Moved Closer To Tessa As The Conversation Had Continued. As They Stood Side By Side, The Backs Of Their Hands Brushed. "the Clave. The Postman. Us. Anyone," Said Will, Shooting An Irritated Look At Gabriel, Who Was Starting To Get Some Color Back And Looked Furious. "i Am Not A Certified Idiot—" "lack Of Certification Hardly Proves Intelligence," Will Muttered.

He Wanted To Make Her Laugh. He Wanted To Sit And Listen To Her Talk About Books Until His Ears Fell Off. But All These Were Things He Could Not Want, Because They Were Things He Could Not Have, And Wanting What You Could Not Have Led To Misery And Madness.

I Don't Know Who Azazel Is," He Said. "isn't He The Cat From The Smurfs?" He Cast About , But Isabelle Just Looked Up And Rolled Her Eyes At Him. "clary?" He Thought Her Voice Came Through, Tinged With Alarm. "what Is It? What Happened? Did My Mom Find Out I'm Gone?" "not Yet," He Thought Back. "is Azazel The Cat From The Smurfs?" There Was A Long Pause. "that's Azrael, Simon. And No More Using The Magic Rings For Smurf Questions.

Isabelle Looked At Him Thoughtfully. "did You Seriously Jump Thirty Feet Out Of A Malachi Configuration? Did He, Alec?" "he Did," Alec Confirmed. "i've Never Seen Anything Like It." "i've Never Seen Anything Like This." Jace Lifted A Ten-inch Dagger From The Floor. One Of Isabelle's Pink Brassiers Was Spread On The Wickedly Sharp Tip. Isabelle Snached It Off, Scowling.

He Looks," Simon Had Once Said To Isabelle, "like He's Thinking About Something Deep And Meaningful, But If You Ask Him What It Is, He'll Punch You In The Face.

You Kindled Me, Heap Of Ashes That I Am, Into Fire. He Had Wondered Once Why Love Was Always Phrased In Terms Of Burning. The Conflagration In His Own Veins, Now, Gave The Answer.

I Think I’m Better Than Everyone Else. An Opinion That Has Been Backed Up With Ample Evidence.

He Wondered If Normalcy Was Something, Like Vision Or Silence, You Didn't Realize Was Precious Until You Lost It.

She Looked Around. They Had Drifted Far Away From The Bank Of The Canal. "are We Stealing This Boat?" "stealing' Is Such An Ugly Word," He Mused. "what Do You Want To Call It?" He Picked Her Up And Swung Her Around Before Putting Her Down. "an Extreme Case Of Window-shopping.

Window Shopping

His Eyes Went Soft And Silver As She Spoke. “zhe Shi Jie Shang, Wo Shi Zui Ai Ne De,” He Whispered. She Understood It. In All The World, You Are What I Love The Most.

"though I Pity The Mugger Who Goes After You." "that Is A Wise Attitude, And I Commend You For It," Said Jace, Looking Gratified.

The Moment The Door Opened, Jace Seized Up A Yellow Pencil Lying On The Desk And Threw It. It Sailed Through The Air And Struck The Wall Just Next To Luke's Head, Where It Stuck, Vibrating. Luke's Eyes Widened. Jace Smiled Faintly. "sorry, I Didn't Realize It Was You." ... Luke Indicated Simon And Clary With A Wave Of His Hand. "i Brought Some People To See You." Jace's Eyes Moved To Them. They Were As Black As If They Had Been Painted On. "unfortunately," He Said, "i Only Had The One Pencil." -jace & Luke, Pg.43-

She Felt Dirty All Over And Looking Over Sebastian, Sweat On His Brow And His Naked Torso Barely Covered By The Sheets, She Had To Swallow Back Bile At What She'd Just Done.

This Was Jace Being Brave. Simon Thought, Brave And Snarky Because He Thought Lilith Was Going To Kill Him, And That Was The Way He Wanted To Go, Unafraid And On His Feet. Like A Warrior. The Way Shadowhunters Did. His Death Song Would Always Be This-jokes And Snideness And Pretend Arrogance, And That Look In His Eyes That Said 'i'm Better Than You'. Simon Just Hadn't Realized It Before.

I Was Trying To Make You Jealous!" Simon Screamed, Right Back. His Hands Were Fisted At His Sides. "you're So Stupid, Clary. You're So Stupid, Can't You See Anything?" She Stared At Him In Bewilderment. What On Earth Did He Mean? "trying To Make Me Jealous? Why Would You Try To Do That?" She Saw Immediately That This Was The Worst Thing She Could Have Asked Him. "because," He Said, So Bitterly That It Shocked Her, "i've Been In Love With You For Ten Years, So I Thought It Seemed Like The Time To Find Out Whether You Felt The Same About Me. Which, I Guess You Don't.

He Found Himself Looking Into Many Faces For Potentional Love, And Seeing Many People As Shining Vessels Of Possibility. Perhaps This Time There Would Be That Indefinable Something That Sent Hungry Hearts Roving, Longing And Searching For Something, They Knew Not What, And Yet Could Not Give Up The Quest.

The Thing About The Mirror Is That No One Knows Where It Is. In Fact, No One Knows What It Is.” "it’s A Mirror,” Simon Said. “you Know – Reflective, Glass. I’m Just Assuming.

There Was Something Peculiarly Gratifying About Shouting In A Blind Rage Until Your Words Ran Out. Of Course, The Aftermath Was Less Pleasant. Once You'd Told Everyone You Hated Them And Not To Come After You, Where Exactly Did You Go?

I Am Sorry," Will Said. "no," Jem Said... "don't Be Ordinary Like That. Don't Say You're Sorry.

This Time Clary Concentrated, Trying To Focus Her Mind On Simon-the Simon-ness Of Him, The Shape Of The Way He Thought, The Feeling Of Hearing His Voice, The Sence Of Him Close. His Whispers, His Secrets, The Way He Made Her Laugh. 'so', She Thought Conversationally, 'now That I'm In Your Mind, Wnat To See Some Naked Mental Pictures Of Jace?' Simon Jumped. "i Heard That!

Magnus Hoped If He Ever Went Mad Like That Himself, So Mad That He Poisoned The Very Air Round Him And Hurt Everyone He Came Into Contact With, That There Would Be Someone Ho Loved Him Enough To Stop Him. To Kill Him, If It Came To That.

Alec Flushed. "i Think It's More Important For You To Go Than Me. You're Valentine's Son, I'm Sure You're The One The Queen Really Wants To See. Besides, You're Charming." Jace Glared At Him. "maybe Not At The Moment," Alec Amended. "but You're Usually Charming. And Faeries Are Very Susceptible To Charm." "plus, If You Stay Here, I've Got The Whole First Season Of Gilligan's Island On Dvd," Magnus Said. "no One Could Turn That Down," Said Jace. He Still Wouldn't Look At Clary.

Isabelle Was Holding An Umbrella. It Was Clear Plastic, Decorated With Decals Of Colorful Flowers. It Was One Of The Girliest Things Simon Had Ever Seen, And He Didn’t Blame Alec For Ducking Out From Under It And Taking His Chances With The Rain.

Of Course, The Guests Were Also Staring Because They Know Of My Relationship With Camille, And Are Wondering What We Might Be Doing Here In The Library... Alone." He Wiggled His Eyebrows At Tessa.

Okay. I've Got A Good One." Simon Stroked Isabelle's Hair Feeling Her Lashes Flutter Against His Neck As She Closed Her Eyes. "a Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away.

Will Suspected Jem Was In Fact Cleverer Than He Was Himself - But He Lacked Will's Tendency To Assume The Absolute Worst About People And Proceed From There.

I Decided It Was Well Past Time To Take Him Home And Place Him In Bosom Of His Family. If You Had Rather I Put Him In An Orphanage, I Fully Understand.

Do You Remember When We Stood Together On Blackfriars Bridge?” He Asked Softly, And His Eyes Were Like That Night Had Been, All Black And Silver. “of Course I Remember.” “it Was The Moment I First Knew I Loved You,” Jem Said. “i Will Make You A Promise. Every Year, Tessa, On One Day, I Will Meet You On That Bridge. I Will Come From The Silent City And I Will Meet You, And We Will Be Together, If Only For An Hour. But You Must Tell No One.

Her Hair Was A Damp Mass Of Curls At The Back Of Her Neck, And Will Looked Away From Her Before He Could Remember What It Felt Like To Put His Hands Through That Hair And Feel The Strands Wind About His Fingers. It Was Easier At The Institute, With Jem And The Others To Distract Him, To Remember That Tessa Was Not His To Recall That Way. Here, Feeling As If He Were Facing The World With Her By His Side--feeling That She Was Here For Him Instead Of, Quite Sensibly, For The Health Of Her Own Fiance--it Was Nearly Impossible.

It Was Like I Saw Your Soul In The Notes Of The Music. And It Was Beautiful.

It Was At First Almost As If He Hadn't Wanted To Kiss Her. His Mouth Was Hard On Hers, Unyielding; Then He Put Both Arms Around Her And Pulled Her Against Him. His Lips Softened. She Could Feel The Rapid Beat Of His Heart, Taste The Sweetness Of Apples Still On His Mouth. She Wound Her Hands Into His Hair, As She'd Wanted To Do Since The First Time She'd Seen Him. His Hair Curled Around Her Fingers, Silky And Fine. Her Heart Was Hammering, And There Was A Rushing Sound In Her Ears, Like Beating Wings

Tessa Looked Quickly To Will, But He Only Crossed The Room As He Always Did To Lean Against The Fireplace Mantel. Cecily Had Never Been Able To Decide If He Did This Because He Was Perpetually Cold Or Because He Thought He Looked Dasing Standing Before The Leaping Flames.

I Will Still Be In Some Part The Jem You Knew, And I Will See You With The Eyes Of My Heart.

Tessa Was Only Half Way Down The Corridor When They Caught Up To Her -will And Jem, Walking On Either Side Of Her. "you Didn't Really Think We Weren't Going To Come Along, Did You?" Will Asked, Raising His Hand And Letting His Witchlight Fare Up Between His Fingers, Lighting The Corridor To Daylight Brightness. Charlotte, Hurrying Along Ahead Of Them, Turned And Frowned, But Said Nothing. "i Know You Can't Leave Anything Well Alone," Tessa Replied, Looking Straight Ahead. "but I Though Better Of Jem." "where Will Goes, I Go," Jem Said Good-naturedly. "and Besides, I'm As Curious As He Is.

Will Smiled The Way Lucifer Might Have Smiled, Moments Before He Fell From Heaven.

Oooh, That Was Fun." "that Does It," Said Jace. "i'm Going To Get You A Dictionary For Christmas This Year." "why?" Isabelle Said. "so You Can Look Up 'fun.' I'm Not Sure You Know What It Means." Isabelle Pulled The Long Heavy Mass Of Her Wet Hair Forward And Wrung It Out As If It Were Wet Washing. "you're Raining On My Parade." "it's A Pretty Wet Parade Already, If You Hadn't Noticed." Jace Glanced Around.

And Maybe I Am A Monster. I Don't Know The Answer To That. But What I Do Know Is That Even If There's Demon Blood Inside Me, There Is Human Blood Inside Me As Well. And I Couldn't Love You Like I Do If I Weren't At Least A Little Bit Human. Because Demons Want. But They Don't Love.

What Are You Doing Following Me Around The Back Streets Of London, You Little Idiot?” Will Demanded, Giving Her Arm A Light Shake. Cecily’s Eyes Narrowed. “this Morning It Was Cariad (note: Welsh Endearment, Like ‘darling’ Or ‘love’), Now It’s Idiot.

"i'm Getting The Oddest Feeling That You're Enjoying This," He Said Under His Breath. "nothing Odd About It." Feeling Unbelievably Bold, Tessa Chucked Him Under The Chin With The Tip Of Her Lace Fan. "simply Behave Yourself.

"but You're Going.

Magnus Did Not Like To Go Near The Hotel Dumont If He Could Help It. It Was Decrepit And Unsettling, It Held Bad Memories, And It Also Occasionally Held His Evil Former Lady Love.
