Chapter 1
Clary POV
I stumble out of the institute trying to hide my sobs. I couldn't believe Jace said that to me. I can't believe he thinks of me as a useless, weak mundane. I mean, why doesn't he want me around, why does he feel this way. As, I walk to the park I sit on the bench and try to contain my sobs. I am too upset to notice that someone is walking towards me, and when they put there hand I jump up and turn around, petrified.
"Oh Sebastian, it's just you! You scared me!" I say.
"Sorry Clary, I just noticed you were upset, what's wrong?"
"Its nothing," I say timidly, "Jace and I just had a fight."
"I'm sorry Clary, what happened?" I knew I shouldn't be telling Sebastian things like this, but I just couldn't control myself, I had to let it all out.
"He said he wanted me to leave and that I would never be a true shadowhunter!" Sebastian pulls me into a hug and I sob in to his chest. "I just don't understand why he would say that to me, I mean is that what he really thinks when he looks at me!" Sebastian hugs me tighter.
"I'm so sorry Clary, it's going to be okay, you guys will make up."
"He never wants to see me again!" I lift my head up and look up at Sebastian to find him smirking at me. I am automatically confused, why is he smiling? Was he not just listening to everything i said? I open my mouth to talk but before I can speak I see Sebastian pull something out of his pocket. He takes something out that looks like a cloth, and before I can act he pushes the cloth against my mouth. I breathe in and taste sweet strawberries. I look up at a smirking Sebastian in horror, and as I feel myself weakening, Sebastian leans close to me and whispers,
"Everything's going to be fine, Clarissa, just fine." I feel a tear fall down my cheek as the blackness consumes me.
Sebastian POV
I watch Clary leave the institute sobbing, and know this is the perfect moment. She seats herself at a bench and buries her head in her knees. I cant help but feel sorry for Clary, she doesn't even know what is to come. I want her powers, I need her powers. And I will get them no matter what it takes. I walk over to her and place my hand on her shoulder, I can see I startled her because she jumps up. As I sit on the bench with her and let her sob into my chest, I smirk and know that this is the time I take her. She looks up at me and I pull the cloth with the Chloroform on it out of my pocket and press it to her mouth. She looks up at me in horror and my smirk grows wider, I lean towards her and whisper,
"Everything's going to be fine, Clarissa, just fine." She loses consciousness and falls into my lap. I pick her up and bring her through the portal with me.
