Shadow Hunters: The Next Phase

Chapter 7

CPOV

Previously-

"Where are we going?" I ask in a demanding tone.

"We're going to your father" he says. NO! I'm not going back to Valentine and he is not my father! when I realise this i punch the man in the face and start fighting him, when he has me pinned down three other people come rushing in and I feel something being injected into my arm, then everything goes black.

I feel a huge throbbing pain in my head and all my muscles ache, I try to streatch my arms, but find they're tied together. My eyes snap open and I find Valentine and Jace with their backs turned to me, suddenly I remember about the fighting and me taking Alec's place. Wait!

"Jace!" I speak my inner thoughts. They both snap their heads around and Jace runs over to hug me. Remembering how much betrayal and hurt he has caused us all and kicked the floor with my tied up legs so that my chair slid back. It wasn't hard to miss the pained expression on his face and I had a slight twinge of guilt.

"Clairy! That's no way to treat your brother" Valentine mock scolds me and I scoff.

"HE. IS. NOT. MY. BROTHER." I spit out at him. His smile falters for a split second, knowing I know the truth, but quickly fixing it while Jace just stands there looking confused.

"My dear, of course he is you-" he begins but I cut him of sharply.

"Really because that isn't what mom said." I retort smugly.

"Well your mother is a lair." He says while coming over to me.

" DO NOT call her a lair!" I snarled at him.

"Why not? She lied to you for eight teen years and I'm the bad guy?" He replies with his own smug smile. Jace is just watching us back and forth like he doesn't know who to beleave.

Anger boils inside me and without thinking I scream at him "YOU ARE LYING!" as soon as I finished the sentence I feel a huge pain on my cheek and realised he punched me.

"Hey, you said she wouldn't get hurt!" Jace defensively says.

"Yes well she needed to be taught some manners." When Valentine says this I spit out a mixture of spit and blood in his direction and it lands on his tie.

"You little-" He starts while getting closer to my face and grabbing my collar, but stops when Jace holds him back.

"She's been hurt enough." He says authoritatively.

"you're right," he says, letting go of my collar. I eye him suspiciously " Jace, please go and get Clairys room ready." This confuses me. Jace gives me one last glance and then leaves.

"Room?" I question.

"Yes, you're living with us now." He says like it's the most obvious things in the world.

I scoff "Not gonna happen."

"Well, you can choose to live in an amazing space, or a... less luxus place ntil you comply" He says menacingly.

I lean closer to his face and reply, "I'd rather die then live with you."

He chuckles lightly "as you wish" he evily replies then kicks my chair over knocking me out.

APOV

Tick Tock, Tick Tock, I sit in the meeting room waiting for everybody to get here, thoughts of Clairy and how she took my place in the hover craft swirl around in my head, they have been ever since. Why?! WHY?! she didn't deserve that, I should have made sure there were no traps, it's my fault it's all my fault!

"Alec" Issy interrupts my inner monologue "you ok?"

"yeh" I say in a tone that doesn't even convince myself, she gives me a sad smile and then faces forward as the meeting starts.

Bane starts the meeting. "Ok everyone, as we all know 3 days ago Clairy was taken to Valentines hideout." My fault, my fault, my fault. "But we do have a plan to get her back." My head snaps up, WHAT? "thanks to Alec we can now track them." Thanks to me she could be dead. This idea brings me so much pain, and I question why she has this effect on me.

"how did they know to set up a trap? " Massie, a girl from our institute and on this mission asks the question that probably everybody is thinking.

"Well, we think they set that up for Clairy, when you stepped in to the hovercraft a beep went of in their suits, making me beleave they weren't trying to kill Clairy, but throw her in their and kidnap her."

"What would they want with Clairy?" Issy asks, confused.

"Well, what they wanted with Jace, more people on their side, strong people." He tells us.

"No, Clairy wouldn't betray us like that" I defended her.

"What would happen if she refuses, will they kill her?!" Issy asks in a panic.

"Probably not, she is to powerful to go to waste, but if she does refuse they will probably torture her until she doesn't" Bane tells us.

"So she could be getting tortured as we speak?!" I force out, not wanting to even think about the possibility.

"I'm afraid so." All my fault, all my fault, all my fault.

Hey guys thanks for reading please review! Next chapter up tomorrow :)
