CLARY POV

I wake up with a splitting head ache. I open my eyes to see all darkness and the smell of blood. I'm aware of a sharp pain in my wrists; I tug at them to find them cuffed together. My feet are tied together as well. My Heart rate picks up and I resist the urge to scream. A wave of dizziness and nausea causes me to lie back down and rest my head in the cool, concrete floor. Recollections of last night come back in flashes. Lights. Dancing with Sebastian. Going into a closet- oh god. Please tell me I don't remember right. I wouldn't have let that happen, there is no way. I was jolted up right by a door squealing open, revealing a tall, broad shouldered silhouette looming in the door frame. He slowly walks over to where I am pinned against the wall. He stops about 10 feet away and starts laughing mechanically.

"We'll hello there Clarissa! How are you?" How does he know my name?

"Wondering who I am? Well, darling I knew your mom. We were best friends when we were younger. One day I tried to kill her friend. She screamed at me and told me she never wanted to see me again. She broke my heart and because of that and now I'm here to get my revenge."

He raises his hand and something snaps across my check sending blinding pain through me. I scream and curl up in a ball on the floor. He cackles and brings his arm down again but this time it hits my collar bone causing another cry of pain. This continues all over my body for what feels like years but he is interrupted by the door at the other end of the room squeaking open again and reveals another male figure. Sebastian. I know as soon as I see him. His eyes meet mine and I can see him smirk devilishly at me.

Tears spring up in my eyes and I blink hard to try and keep them back. I will not let them see me cry.

"SEB! SEBASTIAN PLEASE HELP ME!" I scream.

"Sweet, innocent Clary. You were so naive and trusting. I never actually loved you or cared for you. This was all a plan to get you all for ourselves." He snarls.

I can't stop the tears now. They spill over my lashes and drip to the floor. Sebastian and whoever the man is cackle and leave the room slamming the door behind them.

I sob uncontrollably and can only form one thought. I'm going to die.

IZZY POV

I check my phone for the thousandth time this hour. No new messages or phone calls. I'm getting nervous because I haven't heard from Clary since last night before the party with Sebastian. I jump off my bed and flounce down to the kitchen to make a sandwich for lunch. After I was done I headed for the living room to watch some TV to try and get my mind off things.

When I get down there I see Jace sprawled out on the couch watching some car show. I need to ask him about clary because I want to know why he broke her heart. I walk over to the other couch and sit cross legged. Jace looks up at me but doesn't say anything.

"Hey Jace. Can I ask you something?" I ask cautiously.

He smirks and says "Sorry sister. I don't believe in incest."

I scoff and glare at him." You're disgusting. Get over yourself. I was going to ask you if you and Clary know each other from somewhere."

His eyes darken and he looks back at the TV. "No. The first time I have ever seen her was as Taki's last week." He says darkly.

"HA! Like I'm going to believe that! Clary told us smarty. She told us what you did to her back in Los-Angeles and I'm giving you one chance to save your ass before I boot kick it into the next century."

He looks at me in shock and opens his mouth but snaps it shut again. "I'm going to open up to you right now. Don't expect it to happen again. I have regretted what I did to Clary every day since she left. The truth is the dare wasn't to hang out with her; it was to tell her I didn't want to be friends with her. After I said all those horrible things I was going to go back the next day to apologize but she was already gone. I was so angry and upset I just lost it. I went home and broke everything in sight and when my real parents got home they were shocked but they asked me why I did it before they got mad. I told them about Clary and they came and started soothing me and saying it was okay. I miss my real parents so much. When they were killed in a car crash I was shocked and I cried for days with no one to comfort me. I was then put up for adoption and the first family I lived with was kind of like Harry Potter. I was forced to sleep in the basement and cleanup for them all day. I lived like that for years before someone realized what was going on. Another family adopted me and they were nice enough but very strict. That's when I met clary. She was over at my house all the time and I was always at hers. Then when she left was heartbroken because not only had she left forever thinking I hated her but she hated me. I lived with that family for a few more years and then you guys adopted me and this is the best I have been treated since my parents passed away. "

I'm staring at Jace in shock. I had absolutely no idea what he had been through before he got here.

"Jace I'm so sorry I had no idea. But I have one more question. Maybe two. How long have you been in love with clary?"

"Honestly," Jace whispers. "I don't know but I need to get her back. Can you please help me?"

I smile. So he HAS learned the power of Izzy.

"Of course but I haven't heard from her since last night when she went to the party with Seb. I'll go call her because its making me worried." But before I can the phone rings. I let out a breath of relief when I see Clary's home number on the call display.

"Hello?"

``Hi Isabelle its Jocelyn, Clary's mom. I was wondering if you had heard from her since last night. I can't seem to reach her."

"Um no sorry I haven't heard from. I was actually just about to call her. I can call Sebastian's house if you want?"

"Sure that would be great Isabelle. Thank you bye."

I grab my cell and call Sebastian's house. There's no answer but the voice mail kicks in.

"Hi you have reached the Verlac's. If this is Izzy, or any of Clary's friends I have a special message for you. I have Clary and she is anything but safe. That's right I kidnapped her and don't bother looking. You won't find her."

I feel my face go pale and Jace is looking at me with wide eyes.

"What's going on?" He asks.

"Clary's been kidnapped. That's what's going on."
