Ch 2

Jade wolf

"Clary, what are you guys doing here?" Luke asks them when they rush into the jade wolf restaurant.

"Luke" Clary says slightly out of breath.

"Woah woah woah, slow down there kid" Luke says chuckling and putting a hand on her shoulder to stop her from running into him.

"Sorry sorry. I think we found a way to find Jace. Magnus says you would know what were looking for." She said

"Yea, he must mean this" Luke walked away and returned with a box, and inside was a stone. "Parabatia use this only in extreme circumstances. It helps to locate the one missing." He tells them looking hesitant to hand it over.

"Why didn't you tell us about this before?" Izzy asks him, a little annoyed that Luke had a way to find Jace this whole time and didn't say anything. "He's in real danger right now!" She says her voice raising slightly.

"There's a reason that no one uses this stone anymore. The strain that it puts on their parabatia bond can be catastrophic. Not to mention if the one using the stone were to go too deep into his head he could be lost there forever. It can be deadly. I didn't think you were willing to risk that." He said pointedly looking at Izzy since it would be her brothers life in danger.

Clary looks towards Izzy knowing that as much as she wanted this she didn't want to risk Alec's life. She knew this was Izzy's choice.

"I- I think we should try it. Alec wouldn't be able to live with himself if he didn't know he did everything he could to get Jace back." She said although she looked unsure of this plan herself.

Sending a weary look towards the two girls he handed the stone to Clary. "Make sure he doesn't fall to deep" he tells them knowing that this was the only advice he could give them.

Clary takes the stone and she and Izzy walk out of the jade wolf.

The Dock

Jace was in unimaginable pain. He just wanted it all to stop, he didn't know if his friends were even going to be able to find him here. Hell he didn't even know where here was, but he couldn't remember if it was because he actually didn't know or if the pain was so bad that he just couldn't think straight anymore. He was betting on the latter.

He was done, he was done 30 minutes into...whatever the hell this agonizing pain was. If he had the strength he would have called it quits a long time ago. He just wasn't sure that he could actually help Valentine. He couldn't side with someone that was willing to kill off all of the downworlders. He understood some of what Valentine meant, but all downworlders weren't bad. There were plenty of good ones around.

So no matter how much it hurt, no matter how much pain he was feeling, he knew deep down that he couldn't give in. So lost in his thoughts and his pain, he didn't hear the door open. He didn't even know that someone entered the room until he felt their breath on his face. Jace stiffened, instantly causing pain to shoot through his body.

He let out a low groan which was just about all he could do at the moment.

"I absolutely love this rune." Valentine says as he softly runs his fingers over the glowing mark on Jace's neck. "It causes the maximum amount of pain without leaving an inch of bruising on the individual." He presses his fingers more forcefully into Jace's neck and is rewarded with a small gasp from his captor. Tears well up in Jace's eyes and fall down his face and a shudder passes through his body.

"Are you ready to give in?" Valentine asks Jace while he continues to rub the rune, enjoying the tremors that he feels running through Jace's body.

Jace stays quiet hoping that maybe he could buy himself some time before the inevitable happens, when he tells Valentine no. He could only imagine what else he had in that psychotic mind of his. I mean an agony rune? Who the hell even knew about that, it sure wasn't in any of the books.

Valentine pulls his Stele out of his pocket and traces over the agony rune instantly stopping the constant pain, but not completely.

Gasping Jace attempts to let out a scream but nothing comes out. He squeezes his eyes shut as Valentine finishes up removing the rune.

"Hurts as bad as when I put it on doesn't it. Don't worry the mark will fade in time. So will the pain." He says as he traces over the sustenance and resting rune. "I'll give you a while to rest up hopefully your mind will be made up by then."

Jace suddenly felt exhausted. Like the bridge that was keeping everything at bay suddenly collapsed, and he was being hit by his exhaustion all at once. He wanted to respond to Valentine, but he literally couldn't. Instead he just glared at him as his eyes slowly closed and his vision faded to black.

The Institute

Walking into the room Clary and Izzy were surprised to see Alec sitting up and having a full on discussion with Magnus.

"Alec!" Izzy shouted in surprise. She turned to Magnus with a questioning look.

"Whatever Valentine was doing to Jace, he must have stopped. Alec started to turn around about an hour after you left here." Magnus tells them

"We got the stone" says Clary holding the rounded object up so they could see.

"So what are we waiting for?" Alec asks them. He and Magnus had been arguing about the dangers of using the stone and he was getting a little irritated. But seeing how hesitant Izzy still was to use the stone he continues to explain why it's so important to him.

"Izzy, he needs me. Who knows what else he could be going through. I may not be able to sense anything now, but that doesn't mean he still isn't suffering, and I- I can't live without him." He says sitting back against the headboard.

Izzy and Clary look at each other before turning back to Alec and Magnus. "There's serious risks to this, but I know how much Jace means to you so." Taking the stone from Clary, Izzy hands it over to Magnus.

"Okay, now you need to stay near the surface, if you go too deep..." He looks away not feeling all too comfortable with this either he knew that from the few that have used this stone that not too many have come back. Which is exactly the discussion he and Alec were having before Izzy and Clary walked into the room. "If you go too deep I don't know if I can bring you back." He finishes.

"If you go too deep Alec by the angel I will kick your ass when you get back." Izzy tells him with clear worry on her face.

Alec gives them a smile than motions for Magnus to give him the stone. Once he takes hold of the stone it starts to glow. Alec closes his eyes and instantly sees flashes of Jace and him. Some of the flashes showed images of Jace fighting on something like a dock or maybe a ship, but he also saw flashes from when he and Jace were younger.

The three stood and watched as Alec's eyes moved behind his closed eyelids. All of a sudden his body jerked up and blood started falling from his noes.

"Oh my God! Alec!" Izzy screams out not knowing what to do.

"What's happening to him?" Clary asks Magnus as she looks over at him.

"He must have gone too deep." He states eyes full of panic. Using his magic he tries to bring him back.

"Were going to need to go somewhere else." Says Clary who was now standing by the slightly ajar door. "I think some of the others are coming this way."

"Okay, everyone hold on to each other" Magnus tells them and within seconds their transported out of the room and into Magnus's loft.
