He tightened his grip on her chin, and without a moment's notice, the Infernal Cup was jammed into her mouth, cutting her lip, and she was downing the contents inside.

A scream was muffled against the blood bubbling from her mouth; tears started to form in the corner of her eyes. Sebastian watched her struggle to spit out the contents without much success. A part of him screamed "No! Let Clary be her; she'll learn. She'll learn to love you, and to love everything in Edom. She'll learn, she'll learn." Another part inside of him counteracted. "You've given her so many chances; wouldn't she have learned by now? What you're doing is right. It's right."

After she downed most of the contents, Sebastian removed the cup from her lips and watched her change. He expected for her to scream in excruciating pain, which she did- but she didn't change. Clary fell, her cries of pain shaking her entire body. She spasmed across the floor, her cries of agony screeching, echoing. Her breathing quickly became laboured, her breaths deeper and harder, faster and quicker with each ticking second-what was going on?

"Sebastian," Amatis said, eyeing Clary. "I think she's unable to process the demons blood."

"Why...?" Sebastian asked. Although he was sure he knew the answer already.

"I believe...I believe it's because...because Clary has extra angel blood in her veins, correct...?"

"Correct."

"This means that the demon blood- it's fighting with her extra angel blood. I don't think this will stop anytime soon-"

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Clary's piercing cry cut into the ears of everyone in the room, her body was huddled into a ball, her sobbing becoming more insistent. "It hurts!" She cried, rolling in circles, trying to somehow ease the pain. "Stop it-stop it- it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

"Get her to the hospital wing," Sebastian ordered, his hands flying frantically everywhere. "Hurry!"

Clary's cry reached an unbearable pitch; her wails of agony shook the room, her tears coming down her face in rivers. Sebastian had seen many people beg for mercy, cry for help, and cry for their mothers and fathers, but he had never seen anyone cry in so much pain.

Clary's body spasmed once more, a wail flying out of her lips, until she dropped silently onto the floor, her body crumpling together.

It had been one month since Clary drank from the Infernal Cup.

Her body still ached with a numb, burning pain, constantly flowing through her veins.

The past month had been pure agony. Clary couldn't remember how many days passed when she had lain on a bed, crying, screaming, wailing for help, for someone, anyone, or anything, to ease the pain. It was like having hot lava in your veins, burning you up slowly from the inside, ripping you apart. She couldn't even sleep, only passing out from screaming and lack of food and water. Even sleep was painful. She could feel the poison in her blood, trying to spread, to change her, and her body rejecting it and fighting desperately.

As days passed on, it got a little bit better. It didn't hurt as much, the pain was more bearable. She still cried, of course. Crying from emotional suffering- wishing her mom, Luke, Simon, Isabelle, Alec, hell, even Magnus. But she wanted Isaac and Jace the most. She wanted to touch them, Isaac's baby soft skin and Jace's rock hard muscles, to smell them, and to see them. She yearned for then so deeply, it physically hurt her heart and soul.

For a unknown reason, Clary hadn't seen Sebastian face-to-face for almost a month. He would come in the middle of the night to check up on her, thinking she was asleep (but really, who could sleep while in pain constantly?) and stare at her for a while, then walk our. He did this almost nightly, which irked Clary. It also sparked curiousity.

While she pay in bed tonight, she closed her eyes, trying to sleep, letting herself drift into the darkness. A couple of minutes passed, but she was too much in pain to sleep. A creak on the door caused one eye of hers to peak open slightly.

A tall, dark, masculine figure sauntered into the room. Clary's eyes adjusted to the dark as she realized it was Sebastian. Her eye quickly closed itself as she pretended to be asleep.

She could feel his gaze upon her, staring. Thinking. Wondering. Judging. She felt uncomfortable under his piercing black onyx eyes. A couple of moments passed, the only audible sound was Clary's heavy fake breathing, and Sebastian's light breathing.

She felt Sebastian sit down on her bed, leaning over her face. She tried to remain calm and keep her eyes shut. "Isn't he leaving?" She thought. "He should have left by now..."

Then it happened.

His lips fell upon hers, soft and gentle, unlike the usual ravenous demon, trying to eat her up. He planted butterfly kisses down her jawline, down to her neck, and in her collarbone.

He climbed back to to her lips, and slowly stuck his toungue inside Clary's mouth, casing her to jump. Clary could feel Sebastian smile against her mouth and countinue to kiss her. His hands slipped down to her thighs, and he adjusted his body so he was on top of her. Clary, for once, had her hands free and tried to push him off of her- but it was no use. She was simply too weak and fragile to make a difference, although she didn't stop trying.

He countinued to make their toungues dance together, and even bit Clary's lower lip, causing her to wince in pain. His hands slid up her thigh and entered into her body, her panties riding inside of her as well as with his fingers.

He started to push them in and out, making her panties slip between her butt crack and slip out again, an uncomfortable pain happening every second. Sebastian put his finders deeper slowly, causing Clary to become wet very fast, her body wanting more and more.

All while this was happening, Sebastian still had his lips on Clary's. Clary could hardly breathe, and was still trying to push him off of her. He simply took his other hand and pinned up hers above her head, making her extremely vunlerable.

The temperature in the room rose rapidly, their bodies quickly becoming sticky with sweat and heavy panting. Sebastian stopped fingering Clary, and to her suprise, lifted her at the waist

"What..are...you..doing?!" Clary panted, her body immobile.

Sebastian didn't reply, he simply pinned her against the wall, having her face him. He quickly took off her panties and lifted her up above his head.

"Tell me if you don't like this, Clary. Okay?" He stated simply, not waiting for her reply. Her brought her legs between his mouth, her back against the wall, and started to lick her up.

He gently bit her clit, causing Clary to cry out. She quickly closed her hands over her mouth, feeling embarassed. Sebastian ignored this and countinued to lick inside of her. She could feel his hot toungue swirling in her, and it felt so good. Her body released more juices which Sebastian happily drank up. She was so hot down there, her face was reddening fast and she denied to herself that she was enjoying this. Sebastian's toungue ran back and forth, faster inside of her, causing her to groan with pleasure. He slipped his toungue in and out, filling her with emotions his fingers could have never matched up to. She cried out, and her hands pressed against her mouth made them muffled. She squeezed her eyes shut, half of her wishing this would neve happen and the other half hoping it would never end.

Clary then fell, into Sebastian's arms. He stared at her, smiling when he saw how horny her face was. He carried her over to the bed again, threw her down and started to take off his pants. His manhood quickly entered inside of her and she could feel the hot, white liquid oozing inside of her. She felt fulfilled, and her hips adjusted accordingly and her legs spread open on their own. Sebastian held her arms down and started to push. Her pushed her so hard, she cried out each time in pain and pleasure. He rammed into her, again and again, for what seemed like at that moment, eternity.

Clary lay on a bed, having a déjà vu moment.

The last time she had been on this bed, in this room, was when she had given birth to Isaac.

The room hadn't changed at all, the same cream white wallpaper and tiled flooring. The bed sheets were switched to new white ones, which smelled vaguely of citrus. Clary closed her eyes, tiredness seeping within her bones.

The past nine months were painful. Not only was there the demon blood in her veins, but she also got pregnant- with Sebastian's baby this time. She had known, because a dark feeling grew inside of her everyday. It was a weird feeling- one that just didn't feel right, like it was supposed to be there. If comparable to anything, it was like the feeling of someone staring at you. You could just tell.

Sebastian, of course, hadn't talked to her at all. Only coming in at night to have sex with her, and then leave in the morning and for the rest of the day. Clary would spend hours and hours in pain, crying for medicine or a drug, but only Endarkened warriors nursed her- and they weren't friendly about the situation.

Clary had been gone from Earth for about two years now. She wondered what had changed. She wasn't allowed to hear any news-if there was any- and she certainly didn't know anything about Jace or Isaac. She wondered how they were doing. It was his first birthday recently- she had cried that night because she wasn't able to celebrate it with him, or see him, or talk to him or watch him grow up. It nearly broke her heart.

All while the last two years were hell for Clary, Sebastian had been building his own empire in Edom. More bulidings were structured and the place was slowly coming together, almost looking livable- and like home.

Clary sighed, tears forming in her eyes. She missed home. She missed Earth. She missed her family, her son, Jace, and the Lightwoods. She rubbed the back of her hands in her eyes- she promised herself she wouldn't cry anymore. She needed to be strong.

A sharp pain stabbed Clary in her lower stomach- it was similair to having someone shove a knife in you and slowly twist it into a circle. Clary screamed, and the Endarkened nurses got ready for the delievery.

After about 8 hours later, the birth was a sucess.

Clary lay on the bed, her hair matted to her forehead, her body exhausted and wet. Her private area ached with a numb pain, and her breathing was hard. She blinked, not believing that she had another child- and that this was Sebastian's child.

She didn't know the gender, and to be truthful, she didn't know his or her name. She had no idea what to name him or her. She didn't want to- didn't want to face the reality that this child was created of incest, of demon blood, and of forced sex.

The baby was quickly delievered out of the room once it was born. Clary only heard the cries of the newborn being floated faintly down the hallway. She was being tended to as of right now.

Two hours later, after everything had been cleaned up, Clary had showered and put on a new nightgown. She lay in her bed in Sebastian's room, her body curled beneath the covers. The demon blood was stinging again, and she tried to keep from screaming. Her throat was raw and sore from yelling and crying so much- so much it hurt. She squeezed her eyes shut and rolled over, ignoring the stab of pain she got.

The door creaked open slightly, and Clary heard footsteps enter the room. She assumed it was Sebastian. It was the first time in months since Clary had slept in this room with him.

She hoped he wouldn't touch her tonight- she couldn't handle it.

A gentle tap on the shoulder shook her.

"Clary?" His voice questioned, a soft whisper. "Are you awake?"

Clary nodded slightly. She knew he could see her.

"Look," he mumured. "It's Valentina."

Clary rolled over, an interest sparked within her. Why would he name their child Valentina?

"I thought you hated Valentine..?"

"Yeah, but he created you and I. And without that, we couldn't have her with us, would we?"

Clary peeked her eyes up at the bundle of pink wrapped in her husband's arms. She saw faint strands of red hair peeking out, and pale skin.

"Here, hold her."

Sebastian handed the child to Clary, and she opened her arms, although not willingly. She didn't want to see the child, a mix of her features as well as his.

The baby had her and her mothers fiery red hair, and pale skin, although no freckles were visible. Her nose was like her father's, arched high and beautiful. Her lips were full and rosy, as were the apples of her cheeks. Clary watched as her long red lashes fluttered against her cheekbones.

"You'll break hearts one day, Valentina." Clary whispered, holding her child. She didn't know how she felt about this. It was hard to admit her child was beautiful.

Then her eyes opened.

They were dark, the exact same as her fathers. The onyx black was so concentrated, it was hard to tell if she even had a pupil or not. Clary gasped when she saw them- she had the demon blood in her veins.

Clary looked up, almost automatically, wondering what Sebastian's reaction would be. Perhaps it was the lack of light in the room, or Clary's exhaustion, but she thought she saw his eyes flicker to a bright emerald green, the same eyes as their mothers for a fraction of a second.

And Clary thought: maybe the key to his humanity is Valentina.
