Blood Is Thicker Than Darkness

Chapter 6

You Were What Now?!

(Clary's POV)

I'm not really sure what freaked me out more the fact that I believed everything Haley and Blaine said, or the fact that I was right and that Jonathan really was back. Then there is the million dollar question, why was he back, and what was he planning? But as I open my mouth to ask Jace beats me too it, "So what does that mean exactly, if what you say is true, what is he planning?", he asks rather skeptically.

As soon as Jace finishes his sentences Blaine stiffens up and moves closer to his sister, but she just gives him a look and rolls her eyes. "Well from what we can gather he's after me and Clary, for a particular ability we both possess. But I think you already figured that out haven't you Clary?", says Haley with a raised eyebrow and a small smile as she looks at me for confirmation.

I feel like my eyes are so wide at this point they might pop out of my head, but then I realize she's right I have figured it out. "That demon in the club, the one who was begging for his life, the one we thought was lying about Jonathan being alive. He mentioned that "The Master" was looking for two girls and that he was going to use them, for what I have no idea. But ever since that night I've had this horrible feeling in my gut that something was wrong. Then I had this dream last night and 'he' was there, he was chasing me and said that he was going to be coming for me." During my entire epiphany and confession I stared into to Haley's eyes and I saw there that everything I was saying was the truth.

"So does that mean you have an affinity for runes too?", and Haley nods and gives me a smug smirk, and I was secretly pleased that I now have someone to share that with and I think she is too.

Then I turn to look at the others and find that they are all staring at me and I saw the hurt on all their faces.

"I would have told you guys about it but I wasn't sure if the feeling was anything, and to be honest the dream just freaked me out too much. Then Haley and Blaine showed up and once they explained everything it just kind of clicked.", I say with a shrug and I see their expressions clear as they accept my explanation, and I know we are all good.

I was about to ask another question when Alec turned toward the twins with a furrowed brow like something was bugging him. "Wait a second you said that you were born in Idris, that would have been before the uprising and I don't see how that's possible since Jocelyn only had two children, Jonathan and Clary. So how is it exactly that you exist at all because I'm pretty sure that Jocelyn would remember having two more Children?!", and as Alec was speaking his voice became louder and angrier with accusation.

I have to admit that's a damn good question and I look up to Magnus who looks like he's going to be sick, and then my focus locks in on the twins. Who look extremely uncomfortable and disgusted, with the topic at hand like they would have liked to ignore it completely. Then both Haley and Blaine fix their gaze on me pleading with those damn green eyes that link us together, to understand and not jump to conclusions. But I think I understand better than anyone expects me too, because I walk up to them and throw my arms around them in a hug. They both freeze up but then after a few moments relax and hug me back and I say once to them in a whisper and then louder for the rest of the room to here "What did he do to you?"


(Blaine's POV)

After all these years of living in seclusion from the rest of the Shadow Hunting world me and Haley have finally told someone besides Magnus about our story. And I am absolutely terrified, me and my sister might be badass Shadow Hunters but we are facing something we have been going through our whole lives. Rejection. First it was our father constantly telling us we weren't good enough, and now it might be Clary and her friends, and all I want to do is run and protect Haley and myself from whatever's coming because I absolutely refuse to put either of us through that again. But then my mind is completely blown because the sister I never knew I had until a couple of months ago and never thought I would get the chance to meet looks us in the eye, and walks over and grabs us both in a hug. We both immediately tense because we aren't used to any type of affection, but then I relax into it and I feel Haley do the same. Then Clary whispers with a note of concern in her voice to us, and then louder to the rest of the room "What did he do to you?"

And I feel like I can take on the world because I'm finally being accepted by a family I didn't know I needed.


(Haley's POV)

After Alec accused us I thought that it was all over that they didn't believe us, and I felt disgusted because how can I possibly tell them what we are. Being an abomination to the human, Nephilim, and Downwolrder races doesn't exactly build trust or self-esteem. But to my shock Clary stares right at us and crosses the room and envelops me and Blaine in a hug, my body automatically tenses but I soon relax and hug her back. Clary has single handedly done what no one else has done for me or my brother, she showed us concern and affection and when she asks us "What did he do to you?", I look up into the room and see the shocked faces and then I see Magnus who has the biggest grin on his face and nods at me like some proud parent and I can't help but want to roll my eyes and smile at the same time.

I give Clary an extra tight squeeze and then back up a bit and look into her eyes and I'm pretty sure that she can see the determination in my eyes and she gives me a shy smile. So I turn to look at Blaine and I see the same look staring back at me and I know it's now or never. (Wow an hour ago I was such a badass, and now I'm going soft, what in the actual hell is going on here!?)

I take my gaze off my brother and focus on the rest of the room, "Well Alec you pose a great question, because you're right I would hope Jocelyn would remember giving birth to her first born children. But seeing as our mother didn't actually give birth to us I don't really blame her for forgetting my birthday for the past twenty years. I even have a hard time getting this jerk to remember my birthday and it's on the same day as his, for angles sake! Oh! But once he does remember he never lets me live it down that he's older by 15 bloody damn minutes!" This receives small chuckles from Blaine, Magnus and Clary, and I get smiles from the others even though they are trying not to.

"And don't bother asking your next question because I already know what it is 'How can she be your mother is she didn't give birth to you?' well you see Alec, Valentine was even more cunning then we all originally thought. Because even before Jonathan was born Valentine was trying to find ways to create the perfect soldiers, and that's how Blaine and me became his first ever successful experiments. Our father took his DNA and Jocelyn's DNA (The angel only knows how he managed that, can you say creeper because that's just EWWWW.) and somehow managed to bribe a demon to carry the egg for nine months while periodically injecting pure angel blood into the 'fetus'. And nine months later we were born and Valentine got the surprise of his life because he was only expecting one child and instead he got twins. And that my fuzzy Shadow Hunter friends is how babies are made," I give a derisive snort of contempt and disgust.

And just like I guessed everyone looks horrified and I don't blame them one bit, because if I could run screaming from the room, I just might no matter how girly that would make me look.

But then Clary speaks "So let me get this straight, Valentine artificially inseminated a demon with an egg containing Moms and his DNA, and then continually administered angel blood until you were born?"

But before I can respond Blaine jumps in with an answer "Yes that's exactly right, though Lilith is not really our mother she-"

"Wait a damn minute! Lilith, as in the mother of all demons gave birth to you?!" Jace shouts across the room and I flinch but Blaine fields the question again to my relief.

"Well yeah did Haley forget to mention that? But anyway that's why Jocelyn is our biological mother; it's her DNA that runs through our veins not Lilith's, unfortunately her being out surrogate does mean that we have a good amount of demon blood, which is constantly battling our angel blood for dominance. But we've had twenty years to learn to control it and we can handle it most of the time, occasionally we let it win if the situation warrants it."

Then Blaine gives a huge sigh and I know exactly how he feels like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and for the first time in a long time it feels like I can breathe.


(Clary's POV)

I would have never expected that, but then again this is Valentine we are talking about and he was one sick son of a bitch.

"So you really are my siblings then?, I ask the both of them and I get big smiles and nods in response, and I feel like something just clicks into place like I had a void inside that never made sense. Then there they were filling that void, like my subconscious knew they existed and was just waiting for them to fill in the blanks. Sometimes you don't know you have lost something until you find it, and even though I'm excited to get to know my siblings I'm also angry that I've been deprived of knowing them until know. Because let's face it, in the world we live in and with Jonathan out there waiting for us we don't have much time together before the shit hits the fan and all hell breaks loose.
