New York, New York inside the New York Institute, "Clary's room and mind" (this chapter is what about in the middle of chapter fifteen…. After Dorothea placed Clary in her room but before Jace and the other shadowhunters came to her room and found Ithuriel in there)
Complete silence filled her room, after Dorothea used her magic to put Clary in some clean clothes before covering her up her comforter.
…. when suddenly a man appeared out of no almost like he knew Clary was going to be there and alone he appeared in front of her bed, he then proceeded to walk towards the right side of her bed where the man used his fingers to trace the initials, J C that were on the treasure box on her nightstand. Before he turned to face Clary placing his ring and middle finger on her forehead closing his eyes transporting her to a place she's been before…
…. Clary, Clary, the man said open your eyes… and just like Clary woke up finding herself on the floor surrounding by what she thinks is snow… looking around she can see her vision is kind of fussy as she sees a figure in front of her but she can't seem to make out who it is she called out to the person,
saying hello? who are you? where are we? but he didn't answer so she trended carefully towards the person once there just as Clary was about to place her hand on this person's shoulder, the person turned around startling Clary and she took a step back…
do be afraid, Clary he said to her… you know who I am, she asked looking around
I do he said, I know many things and you know me too my blood coursing through you she seemed stunned by this asking him "are you my father"… no my child.
Close your eyes, Clary.. the man said to him he once again placed his two fingers on her forehead and transported them to a lost memory of hers….
What is this? Clary asked, as she watching herself and a blond hair man fight some men… the man told Clary to finish watching…
"Ithuriel?" Clary said as her eyes went wide, turning her head to face him this is where we first met isn't it where my father had tortured you? Ithuriel, told Clary this is more then that, this is the place you saved me Clary, and if you let me I would like to help you save yourself too. "save me?" Clary save me from what? Clary asked, let me ask you, Clary, what is the last thing you remember.
"remember," Clary said.. I'm not really sure, it's kind of hazy I think I remember confronting three people about something I think and uh then I felt a sharp pain in my back everything went black I guess she said until now looking around at her surroundings.
No, Clary not about that… Ithuriel said to her, I need you to close your eyes and focus on my voice
… I need you to remember the shadow world, all the legends are true Ithuirel… take your time Clary, Ithuriel said, it's no rush just remember to breathe he told then suddenly her eyes fly open, "I remember she said; "my friends, Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn they aren't really my friends are they" they kidnapped me and took me to some dark deserted place where I came face to face with Jace and told me that I was his and only his; he told my my brother was dead and that I belong with him as she said this her eyes filled with tears"
Clary, I need to show you something, and I need you, to be honest; please remember I'm trying to protect you if you're aren't honest with me I can't lead you to the right path.
… path? Ithuriel, Clary said.. I don't understand what is going on, suddenly Clary' feels a sting on her and said ouch! Causing both and Ithuriel to look down at her arm it is far worst then I have feared child, what is this? what's happening to me? Clary asked it's not you, my child it's your brother someone is preparing to torture him this is what you call an "agony rune" torture? Brother… Clary said none of this makes any sense I can delay the effects that this will have on you, for the time being; but once we leave your mind I can't shield you from the pain.
My mind? Clary said… he just nodded saying this was the only safe place we could talk for now then he proceeded to draw three signs with his hands in thin air out of nothing
….. Clary's eyes went wide, I know these, she said, they are runes. Runes I created right? Ithuriel just nodded he didn't speak…
Clary was suddenly filled with flashes in her head "mom?" she said out loud… I saw her "do you think angels can forgive, every cell in my body loves you" Isabelle, oh my Clary said covering her mouth I did ask her to be my parabatai. looking at lthuriel,
…. how do I remember these Clary, asked him; I remember I gave up my memories to kill… to my brother. but he isn't dead is he. did I get my memories back? I'm afraid not my child that won't be possible… so how do I remember these things? and see these things none if makes sense. "you are more powerful then you know, Clary" this is how you are able to remember and see have been forgiven? Clary asked looking down towards the floor… Raziel, my brother had finally agreed to let me pardon you that's why we are here not but there is one exception… and I can make it easier on you if you let me. Ithuriel pointing to the runes that were still in mid-air… you sees these three runes Clary yeah, Clary said "the alliance rune, necromancy…. It doesn't matter the names my child he told her what matters is that under no circumstances shall you ever conceive these runes again or you will suffer a fate worse than death; and that will truly be out of my hands child" I can erase these three runes from your mind; it won't hurt Clary and it will keep you safe from my brother wrath… okay, Clary said, let's do this, then I trust you… very well he said and place two fingers on each side of her temple and said a chant
…. a few seconds later; it's done he said, can I please have the back of your wrist, he asked Clary, Clary turned over her wrist over and she was shocked by what happened afterwards and amazed
"The Angelic Rune," Clary said with a gasp and a smile, I thought only a silent brother can are allowed to place this rune on a shadowhunter. Yes, they are, but because you have been blessed by the angels for a second time I'm able to do this, I thought it be more special from me than a silent brother.
Just as he was getting ready to place his two fingers on her forehead, Clary asked him what are you? it's time for you to go my child, your fellow shadowhunters are waiting and remember this won't be an easy journey you will face more tribulations at hand and one day you will be forced to choose. "CHOOSE?" what are you talking about? before he left her mind and placed her back inside her bedroom he said this…
I can only direct you to the right path, but it will be one you will have to walk alone but not shoulder alone. "and I'm truly sorry for what you are about to experience" What? Clary said and no sooner then she did she see imagines of a figure being burned and just like that
everything was back to how it should be, well not everything…
