"Sorry, Clary. I have to go before anyone sees me here. Call me if you need me. You know how." Sebastian whispered frantically, and vanished. I walked up to the entrance of the institute and opened the door.

"Clary? Clary Fray?" I heard my mom cry, "Do not tell me what you've been doing. I know what you've done."

"Mom. Just let me explain!" I said.

"Leave her alone!" I heard Jace say, "You're just the stupid little girl who decides that her BROTHER is better than everyone else!"

"How could you?!" My mom said on the verge of tears.

"Please, mom! Please!" I cried.

My mom took in a deep breath. "Clarissa. From now on, you will call me Jocelyn. You are no longer my daughter." I felt a tear fall down my cheek.

"Mom. Mom!" I sobbed.

"Clarissa, I'm sorry. I just need time to think. Stay away from that monster!" My mom shouted. I had never heard her sound like this before. My anger melted away to pure rage.

"Well, JOCELYN. You have no right to be part of my life anymore, right? So shut the hell up and get out of my life!!! I have every right to hate you!" I screamed.

"Clarissa MORGENSTERN. From now on, you have absolutely no right to the name Fairchild, it belongs to me and my family. You are no longer my family if you stay with that beast!" My mom said, sounding angry. All I felt was absolute hatred and betrayal.

"I HATE YOU! I have respected you and cared for you for 16 years, and as soon as I do something you don't like, you act as if I'm not your child! I'm out of here!" I shrieked. I ran up to my room and gathered up all of my things and called Sebastian.

"Seb?" I asked, crying.

"Clary? Why are you crying? Is something wrong?"

"M-my m-Jocelyn hates me." I sobbed.

"I'll kill her."

"Can you come to the institute and pick me up?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I will."

"K, thanks Sebastian! Love you!

"Love you too."

I hung up the phone. When I turned around, I saw that Isabelle was standing right there.

"Clary? Is it true?" Izzy cried.

"I-I" I sobbed.

"Don't tell me anything. I heard your whole conversation!" Isabelle said sternly, while drawing out her whip. "Jocelyn said to not let you see that monster ever again. She grabbed my wrist and held tightly so I couldn't let go. She pulled me back towards the kitchen and made me sit down. She then chained me to the chair.

"No! Izzy, please!" I cried over and over again, but she didn't listen.

"You have NO right to call me Izzy. Jocelyn! Jace! Alec!" She called. The three of them came over, with inquisitor Lightwood.

"Hold out your arms, please." Said the inquisitor. I held them out and he placed the Mortal Sword into my hands.

"We will be questioning you about a certain person named Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern." Jace growled.

"What is your name?" Alec asked.

"My name is Clarissa F-Morgenstern." I said, not able to say Fray or Fairchild.

"Do you love Jonathan Morgenstern?" Isabelle questioned.

"I love him with all of my heart." I said, not able to say otherwise. I was completely drawn to the truth and could not say otherwise. Wait. What if they asked where Sebastian is?

"Do you know where Jonathan is?" They asked.

I could say only the truth, but I could choose what to say. "His name is Sebastian." I said.

"You stupid girl, He asked you WHERE he is, not what his name is!" Jocelyn said.

"I'll try again. Where IS THAT DEMON?" Inquisitor screamed.

"I don't exactly know." The inquisitor seemed ready to torture the information out of me.

"Wait! She's telling the truth, dad. You can stop." Alec said. For the first time ever, I didn't hate Alec. The inquisitor muttered something about me lying, but it was no use. They couldn't question me more.

"Clary? Clarissa?" I heard a voice come from outside. Oh no. Sebastian was here. They were going to kill him.

"No!" I screamed, trying to get out of the chains that held me onto the chair. I kicked and shouted, but everyone was focused on getting Sebastian.

"Clary. Clary!" I heard a frantic voice behind me, cutting off the chains. "Let's go!" I whirled around to see Sebastian.

"Oh thank god!" I shrieked, tackling him with a hug, "we have to go. They're really coming to kill you!"

"I know." He said. He pointed outside and I saw a whole army of endarkened shadowhunters. He drew his sword and told one of the endarkened, "Guard Clary with your life."

"Seb! Sebastian!!" I cried, trying to go after him. But the endarkened Shadowhunter stopped me.

"I'm sorry Clarissa, but Jonathan has commanded me!"

"No!" I screamed, twisting his wrist and grabbing his seraph blade. "YOU can't tell me what to do, because I don't give a crap about what you say!" I kicked him and ran off. I scanned the battlefield for any signs of Sebastian. Then I saw him fighting Jace, and he was winning! I smiled. That's when I felt something pierce through my skin in the back. I turned around to see my own mother, with a bow in her hands. I dropped to my knees and everything went black.
