Hey guys, this is a new story I'm posting. Please let me know what you think. It might be AU further down the line if I choose to continue.

Jace woke up hanging from the ceiling. He lifted his head only to be face to face with Valentine.

"I knew that you weren't fully committed to the cause, but that's okay because I'm going to teach you that you can't double cross me. When their through with you you'll be ready." He says walking away and letting in 2 heavy set giants, both double the size of jace.

Jace looks at them and mentally prepares himself for the pain he's about to be subjected to. Thinking he might as well act first, he waits until they walk close and pulls on the chain kicking one of them in the chest. He then wraps his legs around the others neck hoping to choke him out, but momentarily forgetting about the first guy who was slowly getting up from the ground.

"Ahh" he screams as ugly #1 hits him in the chest. His legs loosen on ugly #2 neck allowing him to break free from jace's legs. Literally. Jace screams again when he feels one of his legs crack. He pulled against the chains desperate to get free but he was tied too tight. Suddenly he was being hit from all sides. Jace groaned as he felt his ribs crack. 'Angel's, these guys fists felt as though he was being hit with blocks of cement rather than just their fists. He didn't know how long this went on for but it was to the point that he couldn't even keep his head up, and the only sounds out of his mouth were groans.

"Alright, that's enough" he distantly heard Valentine say. Jace didn't even know when he came into the room. He was just relieved that their abuse stopped.

Valentine pulled Jace's head back. "How are you feeling now?" He asks with a smirk.

Jace glares at Valentine and spits in his face. "Screw you" jace grits out. Valentine wipes his face off and chuckles "I guess you need a little more persuasion." He says taking out his stele and tracing over his healing rune. He then places the stele right on his chest and starts burning a new rune into his skin.

"Ugh" he groans out. Runes didn't usually hurt, and if they did it definitely wasn't to this extent.

"This here is called the agony rune." He says while he presses the stele harder into Jace's skin. "You see where I'm placing the rune? It's closer to your heart and I'm making sure it's deep so that it lasts for hours, days even, depending on how long it takes you to come to my side." He says finishing the rune. "How does that feel?" He says taking a few steps back.

Jace takes a gasping breath, his eyes opening wide. He holds in the scream that builds up in his throat. All he can think is that this was a perfect name for this type of rune, cause all he could feel was agony. Everything hurt, from the strings of his hair to the tips of his toes. The chains keeping him up with his feet barely touching the ground, felt as though they were being seared into his wrists. It was like a burning sensation, even valentines breath on his face felt like he was being burned.

Valentine walked up to Jace and touched his face. It was a delicate touch barely even that, but it was all that was needed. The dam broke right then and there. The scream that erupted from his mouth was so inhumane that it'd make you want to put anyone that was being inflicted with that pain out of their misery.

"Yea I think I'll leave you here for a few hours, this outta teach you not to betray those that are looking out for your best interests." Valentine draws a rune on jace to keep him awake and walks out the room.

Jace figured that with the amount of pain he was feeling right now that he'd eventually pass out. But after 30 minutes or so of this he realized that Valentine probably has something to do with his continued consciousness.

He didn't know how much more of this he could take, but he didn't want to give in. He wouldn't be able to look any of his friends, his family in the eyes again if he chose valentine over them. Even if it were just to get out of this agonizing pain and only till he could find a way out. He was supposed to be the tough one. But this, this wasn't something that he could take.

"We have to look for jace ourselves, obviously everyone else here isn't going to. They all think he's guilty." Alec says to Izzy.

"I know that, I just don't know how were gonna do it." She tells him looking over his shoulder at Clary who was walking towards them.

"Okay, so what's our plan?" Clary asks them as soon as she reaches them.

"What? You think your helping us?" Alec scoffs

"Why wouldn't I be?" She asks with a bewildered look on her face.

"Because this is your fault. Ever since you came here things have been going wrong for us. You got what you wanted, your mom is back and awake you can go now." Alec says turning away from her.

"Alec! This isn't her fault." Izzy says, shocked that he would say something like that.

"Yes I originally came to get my mom back, but jace is my brother, I want him back just as bad as you do."

Nodding his head Alec was about to answer when a sharp pain enveloped his whole body. "Ahh" he screams out holding his body and falling to the floor.

"Oh my God, Alec!" Izzy says dropping down to the floor next to her brother.

"What happened?" Clary asks kneeling down next to Alec and Izzy.

"I don't know." She says checking Alec for any wounds.

"Come on let's get him to the bed." Clary says. They carefully move him to the bed. "We need to get magnus here." She says calling him up.

"What's wrong with him?" Magnus asks when he finally reaches the room.

"Were not sure. One second he's talking and the next he's screaming in pain." Izzy says holding onto Alec's hand.

Magnus lifted Alec's shirt and found what the problem was. "It's his parabati rune." He says pointing to the glowing tattoo. "He's feeling what Jace is feeling. It has to be something that's causing him serious pain for it to be affecting Alec like this." Magnus says speaking a spell that would minimize the pain that he was feeling. "I can only lessen his pain I can't stop it or do anything to help jace." He says finishing up the spell, he would have to redo it every 30 minutes or so if he continued like this.

"The only way to help them both is to find jace and stop whatever it is that's causing him all this pain. Honestly I don't understand how he's still dealing with this. He must be in agony." Magnus says taking a seat next to Alec.

"How can we find jace?" Clary asks

"You should talk to Luke about that. Maybe he'll have a way for you to track him. I'll stay with Alec."

"Okay. Thank you" Izzy tells him. She walks over to Alec and gives him a kiss on the cheek. "We'll find him" she whispers in his ear.
