CLARY POV
I dream of the boy with green eyes and white hair laughing and picking up a little girl screaming. "Come on Clary," she calls. I rush over. "What's going on?" I ask. "You don't want to be late do you?" He says. "Late for what?" I ask. "Your wedding of course." Suddenly the vision ends and I open my eyes to a white room and hard black concrete floor. "Rise and shine little sister." I look over and see Sebastian in front of me. I go to pull my hands up but they are shackled to the floor. "What the hell?" I say. "Really Clarissa are you that stupid you knew I was coming back for you." He says. "You are vile, evil, an idiotic man." I spit at him. "Oh come now, we both know the easy way of getting you out of those shackles." He says and comes closer. "Jace is going to kill you." I say, he bends down to match my level as I can't move from the floor, "I have no doubt about that, he can try all he wants but I won't succeed." "What do you want?" I whisper. "Really Clary, stop being so stupid you know what I want." He moves closer and puts his lips on mine. I don't kiss him back, I pull away a little and bring my hands up as far as I can to push him off. "Get stuffed Jonathan, I will never be yours." I scream. "Fine, but first I need to prove to your beloved family that you're still alive." He draws a knife from a pocket and reaches for my arm.
IZZY POV
I walk into the dining room with a stack of plates when an awful pain goes through my straight to my parabati room making me scream. I fall to the ground smashing all the plates in pain. "Isabelle!" Jace calls, I see him and Alec rush over to my side, "what is it?" Alec asks. "My parabati rune, where is it?" I cry. I feel Jace clawing at my shirt looking for it. "I found it but it has faded a little but still visible." He says. "It feels like something it twisting it." I say but slowly the pain goes away. "He has her, Jace you realise that." Alec says and I scramble onto my knees picking up the glass.
CLARY POV
I vomited a few times and I am slipping in and out of sleep. I lay on the ground, I see the cuts along my arm bleeding, it has slowed down a little but is still bleeding, finally I can't take it anymore and let myself slip into the unknown.
JACE POV
We sent Isabelle to bed, she needs to calm down, worrying that the pain will come back. I sit in the study with Alec, Magnus should be here any minute, he agreed to help us track Clary as he likes her a lot and Alec asked. There is a knock on the door and I jump, seraph blade in hand. "I'll get it," Alec says and walks out. A few minutes later he walks back in with Magnus. "Thank you for coming Magnus." "It's fine, I missed Alec anyway." He says and pecks Alec on the head. "Ok no mushy stuff. Here is Clary's stele, would that be enough to track her?" "Yes, it is because she uses it all the time." He takes it out of my hand and sets it in his palm. He holds his other hand over it and blue sparks spark from the tips if his fingers. I watch his eyes close and brow crease. His eyes open again and he sets me back the stele. "Well?" I ask. He shakes his head. "Nothing." He says straight up. "What do you mean nothing?" I ask. "I can't trace her, there is nothing to trace. No proof that she is living." He says. "No, we have proof she is alive, Izzy. Her and Clary are parabati. If she was dead Izzy would screaming not to mention having the rune bleed away." Alec says, I look at him surprised in the beginning he was never fond of Clary. I guess that's changed. "So what your saying is there is no trace of Clary what so ever." I say. "That is what I'm saying." Magnus repeats. "Ok well obviously we have two options. She is either in a moving house that Sebastian has or in a demon realm." I say. "Now that you mention it, I did get a flash of the Endarkened in a grand room." Magnus says. "She's in Edom again." I groan. "Ok, well then that's where we are going." Alec says. "No I need to go alone." I say. "No we go together, we are a team Jace, there is no I in team." I sigh at Alec, "fine but don't blame me if you get hurt." I say.
I rush upstairs and pack weapons, Clary's stele and mine, I go back downstairs and everyone is dressed in gear and for once Magnus looks dressed for the occasion in some better clothes. "So what's the plan?" I ask. I see that Isabelle has packed food and water, while Alec has more weapons. "We have to go through the Seelie Court, through the tunnels and travel through Edom again. But this time we know what's out there and how to ration things better." Alec says. "Is there any other way so we can get there faster?" I say. "Look, maybe I can negotiate with my father and he will let me do magic in Edom." Magnus speaks up. "Look do whatever, just hurry up I can feel Clary getting weaker." Izzy says which grabs all out attention. "Ok."
DAY LATER
SEBASTIAN POV
I walk into the cell and she is still asleep. "Such defiance like her mother." I say and walk out. I walk down the hall when one of the guards stops me. "What is it?" I ask. "The queen requests to speak with you." I nod and head to my room.
I walk in and lock the door. I slide the panel and look into the glass. "You wished to speak with me," I say and it ripples showing the Queen. "Yes. I have just had a group of certain Shadowhunters and a warlock pass through my court requesting access to the tunnel to Edom." She says. "I see. Do these Shadowhunters and warlock have names?" "Indeed they do. The warlock is Magnus Bane, his father is the demon in your realm. The Shadowhunters however are just awful, those Lightwood children and that blonde headed boy Jace." She says and I laugh. "How bloody predictable. Thank you my queen for informing me once again." I say and close of the panel.
JACE POV
We've been walking for ages about a day maybe, we are applying stamina runes to each other. "How is she Izzy?" I ask. "She's ok, but she needs energy fast." She says, "I feel like a piece of me is fading away." I nod I know how she feels.
CLARY POV
I slowly wake still shackled to the ground, I can hear my stomach grumbling and I start to dry reach. Suddenly the door opens and Sebastian walks in, with a plate in hand and a glass of water. "Have you come here to gloat because I'll save you the trouble. You have food and I don't end of discussion." I say. "Actually I came to give you food." He sets the plate of food and water in front of me and provides a fork. "Eat up, no point letting you starve, that'd be cruel." He says. I laugh, "you shackle me to the floor don't feed me for two days then show an act of kindness, how do I know there isn't any poison from your cup in here?" I say. "Because I want you to stay yourself, now eat before I force it down your throat. I pick up the fork and swallow the pasta, it's normal. I take a sip of water and keep eating. "For someone who is starving and thirsty I thought you would've shoved it down." He says and sits down putting his back to the wall, "I was told not to eat to quickly when you haven't eaten for a while it it'll come straight back up." I say. I slowly get through I food and I feel a bit better. "So are you going to let me out or keep me in here?" I ask. "It depends if you are willing to join me?" "No," I say firmly. "Then no, and don't be afraid to call." He walks out locking the door behind him. Suddenly all these screams start echoing the halls and I cover my ears with my hands but they don't block them out.
