Chapter 3
"Do you really think they will do it?" Ithuriel asked. "I know they will," Raziel said grinningly, "blood calls to blood." Ithuriel just looked horrified at his brother and leader "then I shall take my leave. Good Luck to your plan."
"We angels do not need luck."
There was bright shining circular light in front of Clary. It was a portal. She noticed that the portal was a little different from when she first created one. It had blue, purple, and all assorts of colors, but this time there was gold that just engulfed the outer edge. She jumped through the portal pushing the uneasiness and thoughts to the back not wanting to know the truth that crept in her for a while now.
Clary opened her eyes, which she didn't even realize that they were closed, once she felt the grass underneath her. There it was, just there looking the same as last time. The bench where she was sleeping on Sebastian's lap, where he handed her his scarf, and suddenly she felt his presence. "Hello Clarissa. How have you been?" Clarissa didn't move or make a sound until "let's talk. How about at a place where we can eat." She could feel his eyes narrowing at her suspiciously. "Alright."
Have y'all seen Clarissa anywhere?" Jocelyn asked worriedly when she saw that she wasn't there. Everybody; Jace, Isobel, Alec, Maryse, Magnus, and Simon picked up on that something was wrong. "She not at home?" Her dear friend Maryse Lightwood asked curiously. "No. Valentine said that she got a strange gift and that she wanted to show it to Izzy." She said knowing full well that the pieces didn't fit. Isobel was not too keen on being all friendly with Clary after she had stabbed Jace with St. Michael. Then, as if lightning struck, she realized "Jonathan." Clearly stated to everyone as her eyes flickered to the ground.
"So what do you want to talk about? Let me guess, you finally realized that you belong to me. Just as I belong to you!" He said with happiness, curiosity, and a little bit of hope. Clarissa saw all of it in his eyes, but she just brushed it off as if he is just pretending. Sebastian saw her thinking, which he read like an open book. "Wait… how did you know where to find me? I have a spell on me that doesn't let any form of tracking to track me!" He was saying and feeling the truth, Clarissa could tell. "Did you not send me the little gift?"
"What are you talking about!?"
"Did you find them yet!?" Jocelyn pushed. "Maybe we should go home honey?"
"Maybe you could take your hands off my wife!" Jocelyn glared at him "I'm not your wife anymore!" Jocelyn said with vigor, "now Luke maybe you should go home and see if Clary called… or something." She pleaded with her eyes, of course Luke saw her plead. "Hey Valentine, I may be going but keep your hands off my fiancé." Luke said with a grin on the way out the door as he kissed Jocelyn. Of course it left everybody, including his lovely fiancé, laughing and grinning alongside him.
Her eyes narrowed at him. "This gift right here," she pulled out the box with the black dress, scarf, and the single blue forget me not flower, "it told me exactly where I could find you!" Bile rose as her was started to come down, then took control and fixed it. She pushed the bile down, quickly built her walls back up, and continued to glare at him as if nothing happened. No internal battle and no doubt inside her mind. Sebastian sensed everything, but decided against teasing her because he also sensed that there was something seriously wrong.
Luke had gotten back home a little while ago, Clary hadn't called or come back either, and he just go this feeling. He got off the couch, feeling as if he was sitting there for a century, and went to Clarissa's room. Her bed's sheets were ruffled, had been slept in he noted, but something was off! He walked over to the closed windows seeing that it was locked, "Valentine never said anything about Clarissa closing or locking the window…?" Scanning the window he notices the magically enhanced alarm system Magnus help set up. Luke ran to the door checking and seeing the alarm system. The alarm system goes off when any creature, who has not been programed into the system, comes into the house. Ring! Luke looks at the caller and answers his phone. "Hello." Luke says to the caller, which responds "hey sweetie."
"Clary has not been back or called."
"Yea, I know. I'm sorry. I know if Jonathan took her she won't be back unless we find her." Something clicked inside his head. "Well I better go see if Magnus has found anything. Goodbye, I love you." Right before Jocelyn was about to hang up Luke stopped her "Wait! I was looking at the alarm system. Jonathan couldn't have gotten in! The alarm would have sounded."
"Then who could it have been!?"
Seeing the look on Sebastian's face "oh my god! You didn't send me this!" Clary's eyes widened at the thought. "No I didn't." That is all he could say. "Of course I should have known."
"What!? Do you know who took my clothes and sent them to you?"
"Took you clothes?" Clary was utterly confused. "Yea, a few days ago the dress and scarf, that are now in you possession, disappeared. I thought I just lost them, but I looked everywhere for them!"
"Valentine."
Did any of you realize that in C.o.B (Ch. 23 (Valentine), pg. 444, 2nd line), Valentine mentions something to Clary and Jace "blood calls to blood". Although it is resaid/mentioned in another one of the TMI books. I was thinking it was going to be somewhere in between C.o.G. to C.o.L.S. If anybody sees it can you tell me where it is, plz? Also hoped you enjoyed the third chapter of Game or Reality. ~Yagakitty14
