We were surrounded.
Two months ago, Clary stabbed her blade, uncoated in Heavenly fire into the pit of her demonic brother's stomach. She saw as he writhed away in his mother's crying arms just after he thanked his sister for saving him. She could never really feel compassion for her brother then, not ever after what he had done. Now she looked around inside the skeletorial insides of a cave. Stalactites hung from the mouth of the cave like vampire teeth. Their sharp serrated edges almost seemed to glisten in the moonlight that shone brightly through the cave like a battery-operated torch. 'No' she muttered to herself, it wasn't the points shining by themselves, the tips were coated in burgundy and different shades of red glistening blood. They must have used this cave as a sort of sacrificial tent, she thought to herself.
She looked around to see her friends and family. They were held firmly by two endarkened each. The only person who was being held onto by more endarkened was Jace. Her beautiful always illuminating Jace, was now reduced to shredded gear, thick with dried blood. His once beautiful heavenly locks now hung from his head, wet with blood which oozed down the side of his face and neck. Everyone had been made to encircle around her and the familiar cold figure who stood in front of her. His ashy blonde hair, pure as snow, framed his pale smug face.
"Sebastian" she hissed.
She could feel jace pressuring to free himself as Sebastian walked towards her, his white canines sparkled, his mouth pointed at one end with a smirk.
"My sweet sister" he chided. "I've missed you terribly" he smiled, dragging out the word.
She could feel her friends and family looking at her, some with dismay and some she could feel, we're eyeing her with pity.
Sebastian raised a hand to stroke her cheek but she squirmed away from him, trying her best to break free from the strengthening grips from the endarkened. It was no use.
"There's to point to try to escape Clarissa, I've got you now and your all mine" he spelled out coldly, emphasising the 'mine'.
Suddenly, Jace yelled out "Let go of her or I'll rip you to pieces!" He threatened pulling with all his might, but the 6 endarkened holding him back were too strong.
Sebastian's eyes rolled over to Jaces and almost for a second, what looked like pity was then replaced with pure hatred. "Shut your goddam mouth asshole, you stole claryfrom me, that will not go un-punished" He glared accusingly.
She looked over to everyone as a yell bounced of the insides of the cave. Maia, their downworlder friend had half transformed the top part of her body into her other form, her werewolf form. She sunk her massive teeth with a roar, into one of the endarkeneds neck.
He let out a piercing shriek with horror as he fell to the ground with a large 'thud' sending dust out from beneath him.
Sebastian suddenly spun around on the heels on his feet and looked over to the werewolf girl. "Restrain her!" he screamed as more endarkened tumbled forward with what look like shining chains.
Silver.
"Leave. Her. Alone!" Luke lurched forward, towards Maia but the dark warriors, draped in red held him back.
The shadow hunters who once did anything to protect humanity stepped forward and bound Maia in the chains. "She screamed, trying to shrink back. Her form started to tone back to human. Oozing blood was streaming down her face and body.
Sebastian walked up to Maia in what seemed like seconds and sent his hand, striking across her. "You bitch!" he yelled into her face, making her stagger back. She didn't dare fight back now, she only whimpered in pain. "Remove the chains, I don't want the mutt to die just yet" he ordered to his men.
Clary looked over to her mother, who with her pale white face, held her mouth open in shock at the sight of her evil son. Simon, who got his memory taken a couple weeks ago by a prince of hell was fumbling around trying to free his arms from the grips of the newely created endarkened. These ones seemed to be stronger than before, she supposed that he improved them so he could come back stronger. Thinking about him coming back turned her attention. How was he back? As if he sensed this, he looked over at her with a wicked grin, reading the expression clean of her face.
"I know what you're thinking, how is my darling brother back?" He smiled, with a sickening grin.
"Well you're in luck sweet sister of mine, turns out Lilith has pity on her children after all. Seeing how you struck out the part demon inside me with that stupid sword of yours that you don't deserve, all Lilith had to do to save me, was transfer a demon's soul into me. Your now probably wondering how I got out, well you see once a demon soul is placed into your body, you become two separate souls. As you know, to kill a demon fully you must destroy both its life forces. After that traitor demon opened that portal for you, Lilith took his demon life force and gave it to me. Now, my human body is still back where I supposedly died and only demons can enter that realm now. That's how I got out" he explained gleefully.
"but who's life-" suddenly it dawned on her. Magnus summoned a demon, who in exchange for Simons memory's, granted them passage back into the mortal world. "Asmodeus, far bigger than a greater demon, a prince of hell".
Magnus's father.
