A/N: I do own mortal instruments. (Lawyers appear) ok, ok, I don't own it, I don't even own this computer, even the papers not mine. (Bursting into tears)(Lawyers leave)I do own the plot though. Slight OOC and AU, may contain spoilers. Flames will be used to roast marshmallows.
Preface
Scream echoed through the small apartment. Inside this room was a small child, her mother, and a person that can only be described as pure evil. The room was ransacked, except for the small bassinet in the corner. The screams came from the baby girl and someone lying on the floor in a puddle of blood. Valentine had returned.
Valentine looked down at his wife's struggling body, blood pouring from the wounds that covered her stomach and chest. He smiled, an evil smile, before turning to the small bassinet. He walked forth slowly, and picked up the child, who began to scream even louder. The name on her tiny dress read Clary, and even at six months she had a head full of red, curly hair and green eyes too big for her small face. He just wanted it to shut up.
Slap
Valentine's hand landed on the side of the baby's face, shocking her into silence, for the moment. A handprint began to form against her pale skin. Much better," He said to himself. He turned and drew his stele from his pocket, still trying to balance the baby in his arms. The last thing he needed was the brat dead.
He smiled at the babe before speaking aloud, "Clary, your daddy has come to take you home. You're daddy's third child and my only little girl." The voice was low and menacing and it held no reassurance.
Valentine shifted the child to one arm and drew an all too familiar portal rune. Before he stepped through, he casually kicked over the candle at his feet, causing the room to engulf into flames. That seem to follow a path straight to Jocelyn. Without a sound, he stepped into the portal, and away from the last weak screams of Jocelyn. Her last words he heard was a soft plea, "Not the child. You've already took my son from me don't take my girl too" Then Valentine disappeared.
