Alec went through the portal followed by Isabelle, Jace, Clary and Jocelyn. They stood in front of a large mansion. It seemed sad and dark. The walls were a washed out grey and the sun was hidden behind the clouds, struggling to be seen. The trees were bare and the leaves layered the ground, crunching under Clary's feet. "Where are we?" she asked Valentine who was heading towards the house.

"Is this where you've been hiding?" Jace asked.

"No, this is not where I've been hiding and we're at the house of one of the people who are still faithful to the Circle." Valentine replied.

"Idiots." Jace muttered.

"What was that, Jonathon?" Valentine said raising an eyebrow.

"I said, they are idiots and my name isn't Jonathon, it's Jace."

"Those still faithful to me and the Circle are probably the smartest out there. They know I will rise again and they want to be on the winning side. I see nothing idiotic about that. I also know if due course my family will join me on the right side." Valentine said.

"The right side?" Clary scoffed "Like we'd ever join you.".

"Clarissa, you will join me soon enough. You are my daughter." Valentine said.

"Why would I join you? Despite, the crazy streak that runs through my father's side of the family I am pretty much sane and I do not intend to abandon my family and friends." Clary said.

"Oh. but Clary, my dear, you have already abandoned your family. You have abandoned me but soon you will return to me. Soon you and I will rise to power, Shadow Hunters, werewolves and vampires. They will all be under our power. You will get anything you ask for. Anything at all." Valentine's voice was powerful but also the voice of a story-teller and that was exactly it. He was telling a story. Valentine would never come to power again, especially not with Clary by his side, not if Clary had anything to say about it. "Ahem." Jonathan interrupted but he was ignored."Have fun with that." Clary smiled a very fake smile.

"Oh, I will. I will enjoy having my family together once more." Valentine said before turning and calmly walking towards the house.

"Well, that was certainly… interesting." Jace said causing Clary to laugh.

"Couldn't of said it better myself, c'mon before daddy dearest burns the house down." Clary said. She grabbed Jace's hand and they followed Valentine.
