Clary's POV
I had just met Simon again at Java Jones and had stayed and chatted for almost two hours. I opened the door and the heat hit me instantly. I shoved my phone into my bag and looked around. I had a strange tingling feeling running up and down my spine, as if I were being watched.
Taking a deep breath, I crossed the road. Suddenly, I felt hot breath down my neck and I whirled around, not before somebody had grabbed me from behind and dragged me into an alley with a hand over my mouth. I thrashed and kicked backwards and felt a satisfactory thud as my foot connected with something.
I was pinned up against the wall and I looked up to face my captor.
It was Sebastian.
"What the hell are you doing", I yelled. He put a finger to my lips and looked around nervously.
"I could ask you the same thing", he hissed.
"I was just meeting a friend", I said.
"And which friend might that be?", he asked.
"One you don't know about", I retaliated. He sighed and looked around again.
"Do Mother and Father know?", he asked.
I looked down and shook my head.
"Really, Clarissa?". I had the grace to look ashamed. My parents knew every single person I had ever associated with. A sudden anger rose inside of me.
"Well it's not my fault Mother and Father don't let me do a thing myself and pry into every damn thing I do!", I yelled at him.
"Whoa, ssssh", he said, "you'd better come back to the institute now. I've found something out that you might want to know".
"What?", I asked.
"Well...the Clave have been suspicious of Father for a long time because they think he's been dealing with Demon's", he paused as my eyes widened, "but now they aren't just suspicious of him anymore, they're suspicious of you", my breath hitched in my throat. "So, they sent Jace to the institute to get to know you and investigate you. He's been spying on you, Clary".
I couldn't breathe. Jace. Jace had been spying on me.
"No", I whispered.
"I'm sorry, Clary", Sebastian said, "I'm so sorry".

Hi guys,
told you there'd be a MAJOR plot twist. Hope you liked this chapter and please vote and comment. Next chapter will be when Clary confronts Jace about this. I'm on holiday right now, so I probably will only update once in two weeks. I haven't forgotten about this story though and I will definitely update when I can. Thx -R Xx
