Clary had risen from her seat. "She plans to do what?!"
She felt Jace's hand on her arm, "Clary, calm down."
"Jace, this seriously isn't the time to be telling me to calm down."
"Is this even possible?" Maryse said, rising from her seat, palms flat against the table.
Jared shrugged. "You never know what's possible and what's not lately."
"I refuse to believe it! I stabbed him in the chest with a sword practically made from heavenly fire!" Clary yelled.
"Clearly, there was a way," Jared replied in a soothing tone.
"By reborn, what exactly do you mean?" Isabelle spoke for the first time since Jared had told them.
"He has been reborn as a child—"
"As a child?!" Clary exclaimed.
Jared nodded eagerly, although fright was clearly visible on his face.
"Then what on earth is the problem? Somebody can just kill him, right?" Alec spoke loudly.
"He may only be thirteen years old, but he still has the brain and the skills of his older and much...dead self," Jared replied calmly.
"So what are you saying? That it's going to be exactly the same as before?" Jace inquired, squeezing Clary's hand.
Jared shook his head. "Not exactly. Sebastian destroyed all the ways to get back to this dimension when Clary sat on the throne. The only way you guys got back was by making a deal with a demon, were as every demon in every demon realm hate Sebastian for wiping out nearly a quarter of their population by destroying their lands. So nobody is willing to help get him back."
Maryse moved from behind the table. "In the mean time, everybody catch an early night. I'll contact the Clave and they will probably send the Silent Brothers." She turned to Jared, "Jared, you may have to undergo a trial by the Mortal Sword."
Jared nodded. "Am I okay to stay here tonight?"
Maryse attempted a smile. "Of course, Clary and Jace will show you to your room. Alec, contact Magnus please and ask him to arrive as soon as possible. We may need his help, so it's better being safe than sorry. Isabelle, if you'd like, you can contact Simon, if it'd make you feel better?"
"Oh, just because everybody has somebody to stay with and I don't you think I want Simon?!" Isabelle raised her voice slightly.
"Izzy..." Maryse said softly.
"No, mom, he barely remembers me yet, so just give it some time." And she stalked out of the library with glassy eyes.
Jace stood up and nodded to Clary. She understood immediately and told Jared to follow them, leading him to an empty room.
Jace was the one to break the silence. "So, Jared, what happened to your parents?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"You don't want to talk about a lot of things, apparently," Jace replied coldly.
"Jace, stop it."
They had arrived at an empty room. Clary turned to Jared and forced a smile. "Goodnight, Jared."
"Night," He replied before disappearing into the room.
Clary shook her head at Jace and began to walk down the corridor.
When Clary and Jace had reached Jace's room and were ready for bed, Clary had flopped onto the plain white bed as soon as she'd been dressed into her pyjamas. All the yelling and being frustrated had tired her out.
Jace lay beside her and planted a kiss on her temple, "Night."
"Night?"
His eyes flickered open. "What do you want me to say?"
"How about 'I'm sorry for being such a douche towards Jared'?"
"How was I being a douche?"
"He said he didn't want to talk about those questions you were asking him, you shouldn't try and force answers out of people, Jace."
"I don't trust that guy."
"Why don't you trust him?"
"Well there's the reason that he just casually walked into the women's restroom."
"That's why you don't trust him? Really?"
"And there's the fact that he's just a stranger and he's just shown up telling us all of this about Sebastian and the Seelie Queen. I mean, how can you trust him?"
"Because I learned to trust him. He's a Shadowhunter, like us. Is that not enough?"
"Shadowhunters have betrayed us in the past, Clary. You'd be surprised."
"I'd be surprised? Oh, well you'll be surprised when I get out of this bed and go sleep in Izzy's room."
"No, Clary, don't be like that."
"Don't be like what, Jace?" Clary said as she got out of bed.
"Fine, look, I'm sorry, okay?"
"It's not me you need to apologise to."
And with that, she whirled around and stalked out of the room, leaving Jace with his hand over his face feeling sorry.
