"I'm back now, aren't I?" Bernie screamed, flinging her arms wide as if beckoning Jace to fight her. He wasn't going to; he was just in utter shock that she had disappeared like that after her grandfather's death and after Clary coming back to the institute. With the surge in demon energy recently too, what was she thinking?

Eddie sat quietly by the window watching as Bernie screamed at Mr Wayland and flung her arms about the place. He could see where Mr Wayland was coming from. She had been incredibly reckless leaving the institute and not telling anyone but he could also see her point too. She'd just lost her granddad, Mr Waylands ex-ho had made an appearance and it looked for the entire world she was trying to drive an ogre size wedge between Bernie and Mr Wayland.

"Guys, you keep shouting and there's gonna be a knock at the door for 'causing a disturbance'." He pointed out.

"Look, Eddie, you may as well make your way off to your bed. You're of no service here." Mr Wayland said, waving his hand as if dismissing Eddie.

"No!" Bernie snapped, "This is my room, he is my friend and this is my argument. You have no right to tell him to leave."

"I've no right?" Jace questioned, standing tall above Bernie, she was staring at him viciously and fiercely. He could see the anger in her eyes.

"Exactly," she went to carry on but he interrupted.

"I am a high Tutor at this institute; if that doesn't give me the right then I don't know what does." His voice was deep and gravelly.

"Well because you're a 'high teacher'," she said in a mocking tone, "what are you doing in a student's room after hours?"

At first his face flickered with anger, a very fierce flash of anger but then a smile crept up the side of his mouth. He'd been beat and he knew it, he'd be more annoyed if it was someone else but as it was Bernie all he could do was admire her ferocity.

"Are you going to be at breakfast tomorrow?" The anger slipping from his voice.

The 3 of them flicked a look at the clock beside her bed, 3:27.

"Probably not."

Jace placed a brief yet hot kiss on her check and glided out of her room. Shortly followed by Eddie's departure.
