Chapter 1:

Im in a dark place. The thick air is scented with the smell of salt and rust. I try to move, but it's like my feet are weighing me down. I reach out into the darkness, trying to find something, someone. But i only catch the air. Suddenly, i hear someone laughing. A high pitchy laughter cutting through the silence. I shiver at the sound of it.

A cold wind hits me, sending chills in all of my body. I can almost taste the evil in the air. I start to panick. My heart beating loudly, i yell,i shout, i scream, for help. But no one answers me.

And then something is appearing in front of me. It's bright and glowing, but it's so blurry. I sqeeze my eyelids together, trying to get a better look. Its a rune. Maybe i can get out of her with it? But then it begins fading. The light slowling disappearing, leaving my in the darkness surronded by shadows.

She woke up gasping and covered in sweat. She hated that dream. It was the same every night. The rune that had been appearing in her dreams the last 5 days. It was haunting her. She had it printed in the back of her eyelids, just like she had with Jace. She, Clary, had of course had these kind of dreams before. But this time, it was different. There was something dark about it that she couldn't recognize. She lay still on her bed for a while. She could here her mum and luke talking in the kitchen. It wasn't her attention to eaves drop, but she heard her own name being mentioned, so she crept over to the door and stood there listening to their conversation.

As they talked, her whole body was reacting to their words. Every single one of them were slicing her up, leaving her in bleading peices on the floor. she was trembling hard, her teeth chattering together. She was trying to make sence of their conversation that went on, but she couldn't concentrate. The words she had already heard where just to much. Her worst nightmare come true. Lukes words reapeated themselves over and over in her head: "Jonathan is alive, and his target is Jace. He wants revenge because he thinks that jace is the one that killed Valentine"

Her brother, Jonathan, demon blood running in his veins, had tricked them all last month and then tried to kill them. He did kill little Max, and pretty much got away with it. And now he was after Jace.

All she could think about, was that Jace was no match for Jonathan. Last time he nearly got himsel killed, figthing him. If it hadn't been for Isabelle, he would have been dead now. She tried to get her mind to work properly again, and dragged herself up from the floor. She dropped down in her bed heavily.

If the clave knew about this, Jace would be under full protection by now. He wouldn't be left alone at any time. That was a nice idea, until she remembered the fact that Jonathan was so sneaky, that he could probably trick his way in, and get to Jace anyway. She needed to think. She had to find some way to ensure Jace's safety.

And then she thought about it. The rune in the dream. Maybe it was some protecting rune. Even though she had a guess, she still really didn't know what it did yet, but she promised herself to test it before using it on Jace. She decided to call Jace now. She wanted to hear his voice, to make sure he was okay. She picked up her phone and dialed in his number. The phone started to ring, and he took it on the first chime.

"Jace here " He said.

Her heart skipped a beat at the sound of his voice. He was okay.

"Uhm, hi, it's clary" She said.

"Clary!, I missed you" He said.

"I missed you to" She whispered into the phone.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing, i just needed to her your voice" She said.

"Are you sure that's all?" He asked me again.

"Yes, i'll talk to you later, okay?"

"Okay. You can always call if you change your mind and decide to tell me whats wrong." He mumbled.

"Okay, i love you" She said, and hung up.

He was okay, and that was the main point. After her little freak out, a plan was beginning to form in her head. No way she was going to tell Luke and mum that she heard there conversation. They would just want to keep her here. They would tell her it wasn't safe for her to stroll around to visit people. She would get up, act normal, tell them she was going to Simons place, and they would let her. At least, that's what she hoped. If they kept her here, they would have to tell her the truth, and she wasn't sure if that was their intentions.

She put on a t-shirt and some pants. Then she put her hair in a pony tail, and grabbed her stele from her bed, putting it in a little back-pack, along with a few weapons. She didn't know if it was necessary, but she had to be prepared.

She put on a smile and walked out of her room. But there was no one home.

"Goodmorning" she yelled for the fitht time.

Nobody answered her. Funny. She was sure she had heard there voices just before. They must have had a urgent meeting, or something.

"Okay, i'll se you later" yelled, just incase they were home, then she grabbed her green coat and her backpack and left.

As she ran down the streets in New york, she couldn't think of anything but the rune, that probably should be able to help Jace. She didn't know why she was in such a panic. Yes, jace was in danger, but not really urgent danger. She just had a horrible feeling in her stomach. Something deep in her guts, telling her that something was going to happen. She sped up at the thought of this, pushing people aside, to get to the institute faster.

Jace POV:

"I spoke to Clary this morning, she sounded a bit wierd, but that's all" Jace told them.

Magnus looked up. He was healing Clary's mother. She was looking a bit pale still, but getting better. Luke was sitting in a nearby couch, with his eyes closed, probably tired from his injuries. Isabelle,alec and Simone where there to.

"Has anyone else heard from her?"Magnus asked.

"I tried to call her like a million times, but she isn't answering her phone" Isabelle replied.

"Im worried about her" luke said, " I mean, we were dragged away from there, barely alive, and she was there to. Yet whoever did it, didn't take her. Jace spoke to her this morning, and you said she sounded just a little disturbed?

"Yeah, but not much" He told Luke. He was starting to feel sick. Where was Clary?

So no one has spoken to her since this morning. She hasn't tried to make contact herself, and she wasn't dragged out with Jocelyn and me." He paused.

Simon, who had been quiet, spoke out.

"for all we know, she could be in alot of trouble right now, i think we ought to find her."

Jaces mouth felt dry. Simon was right. We needed to find clary.

"Any idea of where she could be?" Magnus asked.

"The institute, at Simons or at her place" he said.

"No, not at Simons, she would have called first",pausing to look at Simon. He just nodded confirming that she hadn't called.

"I think we should go to the institute. She probably didn't stay home" Isabelle said.

"I think your right " He said.

Magnus stood up. "Jocelyn and Luke are better now, but they probably should stay here." he said.

They both nodded weakly with their heads.

Then Magnus, Alec, Isabelle, Simon and himself rushed out of the door, heading for the institute.

Clarys POV:

She reached the institute, lay her hand on the door and said for herself "I am Clarissa Morgenstein, Shadowhunter by blood. The door opened for her and she slipped in. It was darker than usual, but she didn't notice. She rushed over to the elevator, pressed some buttons, went in and it closed, lifting her up.

It took way to long in her opinion. Then the doors finally opened. The corridor was dark, and there was totally silent. The air was thick, and she noticed with horror that it smelled like salt and rust. It was like her dream. She didn't know how to react, but something was very wrong. Had Jonathan gotten to Jace already?

Slowly, she backed into the elevator, took her stele and a couple of knives up. She had the feeling she would need them. Then she took her phone and called Jace.

"Clary? CLARY!" he roared.

"Jace, where are you?" She whispered. Afraid someone, or something would hear her.

"Where are you?" He asked.

"The institute" She replied.

"Clary, listen, Whatever you heard is a lie. You've walked into a trap. Someones waiting for you. Do you have any weapons?" He said very fast.

"I.. yes, 2 knives and my stele" She said quietly.

"Good, we'll be here in 2 minutes." He said.

Thats when she saw it. The shadow in the darkness. Somewhere she heard someone laugh. The same laughter as in the dream. She screamed loudly, backing into a corner of the elevator, pressing the buttons hard. Desperate for it to close the doors. But they stayed open.

"CLARY!" jace yelled.

But she couldn't answer. She was frozen with fear. Then she saw the face in the shadows. Jonathan.

He laughed as he saw her.

"That was easy". He said." I have you trapped now, and you really can't do anything about it." He paused." Let them talk about Jace getting into danger, and you of course hurry to rescue him. "

She frowned at this.

"Don't worry, i won't kill you right now." he added as he saw the frown on her face.

He took a step towards her. She tightened her grip on the knife she had in her hand. Jace was still yelling at her in the phone. She blocked him out. Then she leaped at jonathan with the knife, actually hitting him. The knife sat in his right arm. Not anything that would stop him. Just something that would pis him of.

"You really shouldn't have done that" he whispered. They were both in the elevator, wich was now closing. She was on the floor, without any weapons. He was towering over her, two knifes in one hand, a sword in the other.

He lifted her up, and threw her into one of elevator walls. Her head banged into it first, making her vision blury.

The elevator was going down now.

"Jace" she whispered. Her phone was right beside her, so he would hear.

"Clary, i'm her, Where are you?"

Before she could reply, Jonathans foot crushed her phone.

"I don't think we need Jace here right now" he said.

She ignored the pain in her body and attacked him again. She didn't have any weapons, so she started scratching him in his face and biting him. But she had to stop when she felt an agonizing pain in her right shoulder. She looked at it, and saw one of Jonathans knifes in it.

The blood was pouring out of a disgustingly big wound. It hurt her like hell. She fell to the elevator floor. Her already blurred vision began going black. But she didn't totally lose it, before a black sticky fluid was forced down her throat, and then, she began falling.

JPOV:

Jace was desperate. Where could she be?

Then he heard the elevator.

The doors opened. Jonathan was standing in it. Clary was lying on the floor. There was blood smudged up the walls in the elevator.

The others were making noices of suprise. Jonathan was suposed to be dead.

He, however, had always had the feeling that he was alive. his eyes trailed down to the body on the floor.

Clary.

She was hurt badly. Her body lay twisted on the floor, blood pumping out from a wound in her shoulder. She was unconncious.

He didn't think it through, he just jumped right at jonathan and hit… air.

He went right threw him. He prepared himself for the impact and banged loudly into the elvator wall. Then quickly got up. Jonathan was a projection.

Jonathan looked at him and smiled. "Se you later" he laughed and vanished. But without Clary. Wierd, he thought, but rushed over to the lifeless body on the floor.

"CLARY!" he said.

But she didn't respond.
