Just so you all know… I'm dead. I died, but because I love all of you, my ghost, spirit, whatever you want to call it has uploaded my computer, and is now writing the next chapter. Enjoy! And remember… never eat a moldy old taco. The results are bad (;

(3rd person pov.)

"What's happening to her!" Macey yelled.

Ignoring her, Alec screamed at Miss. Goode. "STOP! MAKE IT STOP!"

Miss Goode only smiled as she watched Cammie screaming in pain on the floor. She was rolled up in the feeble position, clutching her stomach. Her eyes was squeezed shut, and her teeth were clenched, but sound still exited her mouth. She looked so much like her mother. More than Isabelle did. That's why she wanted to torcher her. If she couldn't get her hands on the real Maryse Lightwood, then she would get the next closest thing. Her daughter.

"Isn't this fun?" she asked to no one unparticular. "I mean, look at that. Look at how much pain a person can be in. It's almost fascinating."

"Cammie!" Liz screamed, tears flowing out of her eyes in groups of four to five.

"Oh shut up," Miss. Goode said, in a irritated tone. "Why do you still care about her? She kept secrets from you. You never knew she had a family. she made you think she was an orphan. She never told you about what she is. She's a shadow hunter. She kills demons. What do you think she was doing that one night at the club? And she protects filthy downworlders, like them." She pointed at Luke, Maia, and Simon with a look of disgust on her face. Most of the COC agents had left. Only a few remained. "Those two are werewolves, and he's a vampire. That's right blood sucker, show them your fangs."

"Hey," Jace yelled. "First off, only I'm allowed to call him that. Second, you make that stop or so help me…"

"what? What are you going to do to me? Do something your daddy taught you?"

Instead of being furious, Jace put on an evil smirk. "He taught me well, Goode. And if you don't make it stop, you're going to see what my daddy made me."

She rolled her eyes, but you could see fear behind them. Fear of Jace being let loose. Of what might happen to her if she. She desisted to make a quick decision, but not before saying, "Zachary? Look at me." Her son did as he was told, tearing his gaze away from the girl, still screaming on the floor, and looked at the witch he had come to call mother, then b****. She gave him a blank, cold look and said, "You're one of them." With one final point at Cammie, she left, her demon and coworkers following her.

Alec was the first to reach Cam, trying to hold her head in his lap as she screamed.

"What's happening to her," Bex asked.

"The demon poison is doing its job," Isabelle replied.

"You're kidding right? There are no such things as demons!"

Izzy glared at Bex. "Look you little mundane you are insignificant next to me when it comes to demons and downworlders, so don't tell me what's real and what's not. I know more then you could ever wish."

"Shut up you two," Maia said. "We need to get her some help."

"Give her to me," Jace said, holding out his arms. Alec just looked up to him like he had just suggested that he should so running around butt naked. "Give her to me Alec. I'll get her back home before any of you can."

"We need to get her to a hospital and find out what's wrong with her," Joe said.

"We know what's wrong with her, we just need to get her some help," Luke said.

"I called Magnus," Simon said. "He'll met us at the Institute."

Jace and Alec were still staring at each other.

"Give her to Jace, Alec," Clary said, sniffling. He made no move to hand her over.

"Give her to me Alec," Jace said slowly. And Alec just as slowly moved Cammie into Jace's arms.

She withered in pain, trying to keep her screams in, as Jace stood up, and ran out of the building faster than any of them thought possible.

On the way back, Alec, Isabelle, Clary, and Luke better explained the Shadow hunter world. Maia, and Simon had headed back to the pack to tell them the news. It took them maybe five minutes to travel the twenty minute walking distance that it takes to get to the institute.

"So let me get this right," Bex said, tears rolling down her cheeks. "You're all part angel?"

"Simon isn't, but yes. All part angel," Luke clarified.

Zach spoke up for the first time since he, Cammie and Max were being held hostage. "What did she my mom mean when she said that I was one of you?"

Luke gave him a sympathetic look and said, "She means you're a shadow hunter, Zach. That your one of us. You're part angel." He looked at the kid for a moment. "You look so much like you're father."

Zach was about to ask him about his father, but they had reached the institute and he needed to see his Gallagher girl. They all raced to the elevator, and went up.

They found Jace pacing the halls, and screams coming from the infirmary.

"is it still going on," Rachel asked.

He nodded, and said, "Maggs is in there with her now, but…"

"but what?" Zach growled. "there has to be more to it. More answers."

Jace glared at the boy. "If there were answers, she'd be better. But there aren't. let Magnus work."

Max ran up saying he tried to call for some help but couldn't get through to anyone. Then he heard the screaming. "What's going on in there?" he asked Jace, his eyes watering. "Why's Cammie screaming?"

Jace kneeled down, and said, "She's in pain, buddy. Maggie's fixing her up right now."

A tear rolled down the young boy's cheek, and he said, "I want to see her."

Jace shook his head. "I'm sorry bud, you can't."

Ignoring Jace, he ran forward, but the golden boy caught him. "NO!" He screamed. "NO! I WANT TO SEE CAMMIE! I WANT TO SEE HER! CAMMIE, STOP SCREAMMING! STOP! I WANT TO SEE HER! WHY WON'T YOU LET ME SEE HER? CAMMIE!"

Isabelle soon came and grabbed Max from Jace and carried him away, him hitting her back the whole way, screaming his sisters name.

Max's outbreak had broken any doubt that it was a dream. Their friend, their sister, their glue was dying, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Soon the screaming had creased, and they all got up as Magnus came out. He smiled at everyone and said, "I've done it again. I'm awesome."

Luke chuckled, and said, "You do have your way with things don't you?"

Luke left soon after that to go home. He needed to get up to go to the pack early in the morning. Alec looked tired, but refused to leave.

"I want to see her," he said. Magnus gave a flick of his wrist, and Alec crumbled to the floor.

"Why'd you do that Magnus?" Clary asked.

"Because he won't go to bed if he goes and sees her, and he needs his rest."

Jace picked them up, and Magnus said only one person could go and see Cammie. It was an obvious choice who.

Zach slid into the infirmary as the others left to go to bed. Pulling up a chair, he sat by her bed, head in his hands, as he cried. He was always crying for her. When the circle started going after her, he cried. When she left, he cried. Now, he cried for almost losing her.

Time became only an illusion as he sat there, waiting for her. She was curled up on her side facing him. She looked so peaceful compared to the distorted look she had on earlier that night.

"Are you angry with me," a small voice asked. Zach looked up. Cammie's eyes were still closed, but he knew she had said it.

"Hey, you're awake." He moved closer, and put a hand on her cheek. "why would I be angry with you?"

"For not telling you the truth about you before," she said. He knew what she was talking about.

Running his thumb over her cheek he whispered, "No, Cammie. I'm not. In fact I think I had it coming for me. I kept my fair share of secrets from you."

"even though I knew all of them?"

He chuckled. "You know what they say. It's the thought that counts. Now scoot over, I don't want to go back to my bed and this chair is uncomfortable."

Silently she moved over, and Zach slid into the bed with her, him arms holding her tight.

"I love you Cammie."
