Clary Quote by Cassandra Clare
““There was an intent look on Simon’s face. “And there are vampires, too? Werewolves, warlocks, all that stuff?” Clary gnawed her lower lip. “So I hear.” “And you kill them, too?” Simon asked, directing the question to Jace, who had put the stele back in his pocket and was examining his flawless nails for defects. “Only when they’ve been naughty.””
