Chapter song: Broken Pieces, By apocalyptica, Ft Lacey Sturm
"C-Clary?" Jace said looking up at her in disbelief. She didn't answer, but started to come down stairs, she paused on the bottom step and flipped the light switch, causing Jace to wince, blinking to clear his vision he looked up at her, there could be no doubt now it was Clary, but something was different about her, he just couldn't figure out what.
"hello Jace." She said with a slick smile. She didn't even sound like herself, she sounded more menacing.
She brushed some of her red hair over her shoulder, and Jace's eyes were drawn to the back of her hand, where the Clairvoyant sight rune should have been, instead she had one of the angry red marks like the girl who had brought him dinner, "No." he gasped, realizing what it meant.
"No what?" Clary said popping her hip to the side and leaning over the chair, "No hello?" she sneered at him, "Or was that a no what has Sebastian done?" she leaned in until her lips brushed his ear, "He opened my eyes to what the world could be." she pulled away, a darkness flashing in her eyes, the same darkness that flashed in Sebastian's eyes and the eyes of every dark shadow hunter.
"This isn't you" Jace said determination clear in his voice, "You are to good for this, you have to fight it Clary. Please!" his voice shook, Clary just smiled at him darkly, "But what if I like myself like this?" she asked throwing some hair over her shoulder, like the popular girls at a mundane higschool.
"it's not you, it's the demon blood. I know you Clary, you can fight this, you're the one who helped me fight the darkness." Jace said trying to reach the girl he loved beneath the darkness.
"so you say Jace, but what if you're wrong and this is me?" Clary said, "That's enough Clarissa!" came a voice from the top of the stairs.. Turning Jace saw Sebastian standing at the top.
"I thought I told you not to come down here!" he said coming down the stairs, "and I thought it was clear long before now that I didn't follow orders all that well. Brother." Clary said tossing her hair again and starting up the stairs, pausing at the door she looked back at Jace and he thought he saw a flicker of guilt in here eyes, then the mask of darkness snapped back into place, "Bye bye Jace. See you soon." she said wiggling her fingers flirtatiously at him, and then with a wink she slipped around the corner out of sight.
"well then I suppose you'll be wanting to tear me a new one am I right? Well that can wait you see, your nephilim friends have something I want and you will be the perfect bargaining chip." Sebastian said crossing his arms and leaning against the wall, "If all you wanted was me why did you take Clary?" Jace asked glaring up at Sebastian.
Sebastian grinned at him, "Well because I wanted you, and what's the best way to get you? My sister, and the reason I made her a dark shadow hunter, I just wanted my little sister to stop looking at me with disgust." he told Jace, making it sound like he was the victim in this.
Jace smirked at him, "Maybe she wouldn't look at you with disgust, if you weren't so disgusting." he said.
Before he had time to revel in his well placed burn, Sebastian punched him in the jaw, "Maybe she wouldn't if you and your friends hadn't made me out to be the devil's spawn!" he shouted punching Jace again.
Jace chuckled even as pain blossomed in his cheek where Sebastian had punched him, spitting on the ground beside the chair he looked up at him, "You think we needed to convince her? She knew you were evil the moment she learned who you were." Jace joked, this time he was expecting the punch, but he did not expect him to go low, instead of hitting him in the face, Sebastian punched him in the stomach.
"you should be careful what you say, I need you to trade for what I want, but I don't need you to be in one piece." Sebastian said. Turning away from Jace, "I also won't hesitate in using other measures to keep you in line." he threatened, walking towards the stairs, "remember that angel boy."
Jace watched him go mutely, as soon as the door closed and he heard footsteps leading away from the door, Jace grinned and fingered the knife he had taken from Clary. Oh yeah I'll remember that. Jace thought as he turned the blade and started to saw at the ropes that held him to the chair.
