you seriously and actually do something about it." She turned to Simon. The vicious cuts across his cheek

were already healing to silvery red lines. "Are you all right?" "Yes." His voice was barely audible. She could

see the hurt in his eyes, and for a moment she wrestled the urge to call Maia a number of unprintable names.

"I'm fine." Clary turned back to the werewolf girl. "You're lucky he's not as much of a bigot as you are, or I'd

complain to the Clave and make the whole pack pay for your behavior." With a sharp tug, she yanked the

knife loose, freeing Maia's T-shirt. Maia bristled. "You don't get it. Vampires are what they are because they're

infected with demon energies-" "So are lycanthropes !" Clary said. "I may not know much, but I do know

that." "But that's the problem. The demon energies change us, make us different-you can call it a sickness or

whatever you want, but the demons who created vampires and the demons who created werewolves came

from species who were at war with each other. They hated each other, so it's in our blood to hate each other

that looked as if it were decorated with bits of crushed glass. Jace's golden eyes, with the precision of a laser,

fixed immediately on Clary. If she'd thought he might look apologetic, concerned, or even ashamed after all

that had happened, she was wrong. All he looked was angry. "What," he said, with a sharp and deliberate

annoyance, "do you think you're doing?" Clary glanced down at herself. She was still perched on the coffee

table, knife in hand. She fought the urge to hide it behind her back. "We had an incident. I took care of it."

"Really." Jace's voice dripped sarcasm. "Do you even know how to use that knife, Clarissa? Without poking a

hole in yourself or any innocent bystanders?" "I didn't hurt anyone," Clary said between her teeth. "She
