City of heavenly fire
Clary was walking out of the institute. She had met Jace and her heart was still pounding hard. Clary was walking down the street and her phone rang.
"Clary are you there?" it was Simon. "You scared me to death!" Clary spat.
"Sorry, but you're mum was asking you and well I'm at Luke's you see?" Simon said. "Okay I'll call her. Was that all?" Clary said a little annoyed. "Yeah". Simon said quietly and hung up.
Clary was wondering what was that all about anyway. She was walking in the cold wind slowly until she saw that someone was following her. A man with black clothes and a hat that was pulled deep over the face. Clary started adding her walking speed. The man did it too. Clary turned in a corner of the street and started running. She ran as fast as she could until she couldn't see the man. Clary sighed and suddenly walked into someone. It was the same man who was following her, but now when Clary looked at him more closely he looked more like a teenager. Then he took his hat of and Clary recognized him.
Sebastian.
Jace was sitting in his bed and trying to make an iratze on himself. He could still feel pain from his chest. Suddenly he heard voices from the hallway. They were Alec and Isabelle's. Jace put his stele quickly away and hid his iratze hand when Alec and Isabelle poured into the room. "What is it?" Jace asked. "It's Clary. We can't find her anywhere!" Isabelle said breathing hard. "What do you mean? She was just here about 15 minutes ago!" Jace said. "Well I had something to say to her and I went after her. Then I saw a guy following her and she turned in a corner, but then I saw the guy's face a little when he turned too…" Alec said. "Well who was it and why didn't you help Clary?" Jace asked angrily. "I was trying to follow them, but when I turned into the corner there was no one there". Alec said. "Who was that guy!" Jace spat. Alec sighed. "It was Sebastian".
The last thing Clary remembered was being hit in the head and everything turned dark. She opened her eyes but everything was still blurry. All she could see was a boy sitting next to her in a room that was lighted up with only one lamp. Clary forced herself to open her eyes more and she saw that she was in bed in a black painted room with only one lamp and a chair. And there he was sitting in the chair. Sebastian. Clary wanted to strangle him in the place but she couldn't somehow she started thinking that he was changed. His hair was still the same white, but his eyes were green as spring grass. Clary started thinking that he's you're brother and his always looked after you. Clary saw him staring at her and then Clary suddenly saw him rise from the chair and bent down to kiss her gently. And Clary kissed back and didn't care about the world just Sebastian. Then he rose and gave Clary a shadowhunter gear and Clary felt like doing anything for him. "Clary I know that this is a lot to ask of you, but could you please stand beside me for now on?" Sebastian said. "Of course I will. I'll always be here for you now on." Clary said wondering why did she say that. "Good because I've got some plans for us". Sebastian said and smiled.
Jace immediately rose from his bed and started putting his shadowhunter gear on when Isabelle said that she would meet him and Alec at the library. When Jace was done he and Alec started to the hallway and to the library where Izzy and Maryse were waiting. "Jace and Alec this is the map of our world and this is where Sebastian took Clary". Maryse said pointing a place on the big map that was on the table. "Well how do we know where they are?" Jace said sounding a little annoyed. "You were the one who was with Sebastian so did he mention anything about where they were going?" Isabelle asked and there was silence… "Idris…" Jace said after a few minutes. "What!" Isabelle shout. "I'll warn the shadowhunters in there and you three go there with a portal and help them prepare. I think Sebastian is trying to get more shadowhunters in his lines". Maryse said quickly. "Who's gonna make the portal?" Alec asked for the first time since they arrived. "I was hoping you could ask Magnus to do it?" Maryse said to Alec who had his head bent down to the floor. "Well are you going to do it?" Isabelle asked angrily. "I'll try". Alec said quietly and rushed from the library with Isabelle after him. "Jace I'm asking you only for one thing there". Maryse said. "What is it?" Jace asked. " Look after them will you? They still need you". Maryse asked. "Of course I will". And with that Jace left from the library leaving Maryse watching the big map.
Clary was walking beside Sebastian. They were in a big house apparently and the whole house was painted black from the inside. They were walking in a big hallway wich was decorated only with mirrors that were stained with something that was black and sticky. Even though Clary didn't care about that she only cared about him. She watched as he moved gracefully and quickly. Clary had to almost run to keep up with him. Then they reached two big black doors were
they entered into a big room that looked just like the hallway expect that it had a chandelier hanging from its sealing. The room looked like a ball hall expect the fact that there were no dining tables or music and dancing people only grumpy looking shadowhunters. "Why do we have to hide here. Cant we just go out there and kill them!" said one of the shadowhunters. "No we must be careful otherwise they will kill us. We don't have that many men". Said Sebastian calmly. "As soon as I get my hands on them I'll snap their necks and feed them to the demons!" said another shadowhunter. "Patience that day will soon come". Sebastian said sitting on one of the chairs. "Who's them?" Clary asked with curiosity. "The Clave". Sebastian said and sneered.
"Aren't we there yet?" said Alec with the sound of frustration . "Well that's the third time you're asking and this time it's actually yes". Isabelle said while pointing her finger at the big glass like city. "Finally! Now do we have any clues where they might be?" Jace asked. "Well actually we are supposed to warn the clave first then ask if they know where anything demonic has been happening". Said Isabelle while feeling herself a little proud to be in command. They started walking towards Idris and when they were at the city they decided to go different ways Alec to their father, Isabelle to the Penhallows and Jace to Amatis. It had been a long time since he ad seen her the last time was actually when she had turned to Sebastian's side. For that reason he had to checkout if Amatis' house had clues even just a slight clue could help him. After almost an hour he was too tired and sat to one of Amatis' big chairs. That's when he saw it. A tiny piece of paper a little bit burned. It looked as if some sort of fire message which was never sent on time. Jace looked at the paper's message And this was what it said:
They plan to destroy us they search for anyone
Who has been in the circle and they work from
The shadowy house beyond the forests of the lyn Lake they have come to take the red one too.
Jace started from the house like a crazy running to the clave every where looked so peaceful. When Jace reached the clave he ran to the big meeting hall and ran up the stairs to the council's place. "I came here to warn you of the fact that Jonathan Morgenstern is going to attack the clave!" He shouted and sounded a little worn whole hall was quiet till one of the shadowhunters rose and said. "How do we know if what you're saying is true?" asked one of the shadowhunters and with that the whole place was in a mess. Everyone was arguing of him and if it was true what he said. Then somebody shouted. "Enough! Let him tell what he has to say!" It was the council. " I went to Amatis' house and found a fire message Which was never sent!" Jace said and gave the message to the council. He read it and said. "Anyone who knows anything about the house of shadows tell me immediately!" And with that he ended the meeting but asked Jace. "Who is the red one?" Jace was quiet foe a moment then he said. "Clary".
