CLARY POV
"Good night mom. Good night Luke." Clary yelled across the hall. They had been married for a little over a year now.
"Night!" they yelled back.
It was nice, living like this. Now that everything bad was gone, Clary could finally enjoy life without being scared of what might come up behind her when she isn't looking. Finally, everything was the way she wanted it. And perfect and happy family; an amazing, vampire best friend; and don't forget the perfect boyfriend, Jace.
After she brushed her hair and teeth, she crawled into bed, waiting for dreams to wash over.
.o.O.o.
She had woken to the sound of footsteps. Looking at her clock, the numbers slowly came into focus.
Who the hell is up and 2:30 am?!
She fumbled around on her bedside table for her witchlight. Once she touched the smooth and cold surface, she laced her fingers around it. The room was set off in a dull glow. Setting her feet on the floor, she tiptoed her way into the hall then to the kitchen. The witchlight wasn't doing much help to light up Clary's path. Once she entered the kitchen she looked around the room to look for anything. After seeing nothing Clary sighed from annoyance. I really must be losing it. Maybe I'm just nervous about tomorrow. She thought to herself.
She heard a shuffle behind her and whirled to face the noise but there was nothing behind her. She waved it off as nerves. She went to the cabinet and grabbed a glass and started to fill it up. It finally filled up and Clary turned around to go back to her room. As soon as she turned around she saw a masked figure standing in front of her.
It didn't really register in her mind quick enough that there was danger in front of her. But as soon as the masked figure – a man, Clary could tell by his strong grip – had a hold on her waist and a hand over her mouth, she realized the danger. She dropped the glass to hear it shatter on the hardwood floor. Clary started kicking the man, doing whatever she could to get out of his grip. Nothing worked, not even the Shadowhunter training she was remembering.
Clary heard a door open and more footsteps echoed throughout the house. Then, as quick as Clary could blink, there were four more men behind her captor. She started to struggle more, and finally was able to get out of his grip for a short moment. But that moment was all it took for her to yell for her mother. 'MOMMY!' she yelled just before another man scooped her up and placed his hand over her mouth once again.
Clary, still struggling, saw a man take out a cloth and some type of small bottle. Chloroform she realized. All it did was made her pull harder. She saw the man dump half of the bottle's contents onto the cloth. The man started to walk towards her just as soon as Luke and Jocelyn rushed down the stairs. Just as Jocelyn screamed the man put the cloth over Clary's mouth.
She hazily saw Luke jump into action and her mother huddle in the corner with a phone pressed to her ear. Her vision was fading in and out. She knew there wasn't much time left before she was completely gone, not knowing where she would wake up. Looking over to her mother, Clary saw Jocelyn holding a cellphone up to her ear mouthing 'Help'.
Her vision was getting worse and soon enough it became too much for her to bear so she let herself get sucked into currents.
*o.0.o*
JACE POV
"Alec! Give me the blade!" Jace yelled at his brother.
"Not until you give me my vest back!" He yelled back at the golden-haired beauty.
"I didn't take your damn vest, Alec!" He replied, just as much strength in his voice as he did in the beginning. Alec was standing across the Strategy Table in the weapons room. Jace had come up there to restock on his blades. Finally, after searching for what seemed like hours, he found the perfect blade. But, that was when Alec came in and took it, starting this mess.
Jace took a shuddering breath to calm him. "Why would I take your-"Jace was interrupted by Isabelle flouncing in the room… wearing Alec's vest?
"IZZY!" they both yelled simultaneously. "What?" She said with an innocent look in her face.
"My vest!" Alec yelled, pointing at the offending clothing on her torso. "Oh, this? It matched my outfit." She said smiling cheekily.
Jace couldn't help but smile at his younger sister. He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by the ringing of his phone.
"Hello?" I breathed into the phone. "Jace?" the voice seemed terrified and he could hear crashing in the background. "Mrs. Fray?" he questioned into the phone.
"Jace. Oh, god, Jace. Please. Help us. Please hur- AH!" "Mrs. Fray!" "Help. Please." The phone clicked off.
Okay, hi. I'm Ireland as I said before. This is my first fanfic and I am really proud of it. I don't really have an updating schedule right now because I am in the middle of school but I will try really hard to update as soon as possible. J Thanks for reading! And btw. The songs… just trust me.
