Let Them Burn
My name is Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern.
I had a father but he is dead.
Valentine is dead. I have never felt any grief for the man who was my father, but what I do feel is a hatred toward my so-called brother and my father. Our father always favored Jace over me, even though I was better.
I was better than him.
I was stronger than him.
I was the one able to do what Valentine needed me to.
It should have been I that was favored over Jace, rather than the other way around. He was weak, where I was strong. He was soft, where I was not. He was unable to do anything that I could.
Let my father burn for it. He could never see how much better I was.
I have a mother, but she is dead to me.
A mother? I have never known a mother. Jocelyn Morgenstern is nothing. She never loved me. She will never love me. She left me.
Pity that she couldn't have done differently, so long ago. Such a tragedy that I will have to kill her.
I say let her fucking burn under me. For if I cannot move Heaven, then I will raise hell.
I have a brother, and I will bind him to me.
The weakling.
Jace, who is so inferior to me.
But he is better than no one at all, and if I cannot have him of his own will, then I will bind him to me. He will be mine.
And if he doesn't want it, then let him burn. I will create a new Jace, one who wants to be bound to me.
I have a sister, and I will teach her to love me.
Clarissa is the one that I want. I love her.
I never imagined that it would be so difficult to make her see sense. Of course she loves me.
Of course she does. She just doesn't know it.
She loves me.
I will not allow her to burn. I will have her.
But as for the rest of them, let them all burn in the fires of hell. My fires.
My name is Jonathan, but everyone calls me Sebastian.
And I am going to burn down the world.
[A/N] Let me know what you thought of this one, please! My first Mortal Instruments fic. It was a little harder to channel Jonathan than I thought it would be.
