I own nothing
"She needs to be controlled!" A Clave member shouted as they were all discussing what to do about Jinx. While she had not gotten a chance to slit Misaki's throat she didn't go through with it. Now the Clave was now worried about what she would do given another chance.
"She is a teenager! No parent has control over their teenagers! Look at what happen when I was a teenager or when my parents were teenagers! Jinx was angry and she had the right to be! Misaki told her flat out that Sebastian wanted her dead along with his own son!" Alec said back to them. "She did not kill the boy, she stop, and punched him in the face with his walls down the brothers can tie him to the murder of Justin." Alec argued they had been at this four hours but even he knew that his daughter had been close to slitting Misaki's throat with a piece of glass.
The short man with thinning brown hair looked at Alec. "You daughter is reckless! As were you, your parabitai, and your parents! That girl has the power to destroy all of the races and you are letting her emotions control her actions! She is a bloody female that should know her place!" Freestorm yelled as whisper broke out.
Trish Heartwood stood up and turn to the man "Mr. Freestorm it sounds like you are trying to bring up your hate against female shadowhunters into this so I suggest you back down and focus on the task at hand. Jinx Lightwood-Bane did not kill the creature she has committed no crime. Thus I don't see why we are wasting time talking about her when we should be talking about how Johnathan Morgenstern plans to get into his son's body." She said as the Clave agreed and Freestorm took his seat.
Magnus looked up from his chair with a sigh "I have been working with the Brothers and the warlocks of the Spiral Labyrinth we have found hints of how he could do it. By the looks of a few bodies that have been recover from Misaki's apartment it seems like Sebastian is trying to insert himself in to the bodies as if they were a glove. The stronger the DNA connection to him the longer he can stay in the body." He told them as he watched a few of the people turn green. As he sat up straighter he sighed "We destroy the body of Johnathan Morgenstern however we did not destroy the soul of Sebastian."
"What does that mean exactly?" A voice called out from where Magnus could not tell but he let out a sigh.
"It means we released a demon that had a soul from its meat suit and left it in a place where other demons could groom and feed the bodiless soul." Magnus sighed as he rubbed his head as the gasp and echos rang out in the meeting. "Oh shut it the lot of you there is another side of this! While the demons were feeding the darkness the also had to feed the light there is a chance that Johnathan's soul could have very much been saved as well."
"How is this helping us?"
This time a brother answered for Magnus "Since both souls are connected if we destroy the one we will destroy both however to be sure we will have to destroy all the parts that attach the soul to this earth."
"Does this include his son?" Clary's voice was shaking as if she knew the answer but when the brother shook his head she let out a sigh of relief.
"No from what we have seen within Zeth's mind he has never had contact with his blood father and thus has no connection to him. But as a safety precaution the brother's will be stripping Zeth of his marks and then have him drink Johnathan Herondale's blood from the mortal cup to make sure all evil is gone. All weapons and pieces of him need to be destroy all of them including the hair and the box your mother has kept." The brother said to her as Clary relaxed.
"Why does it have to be the blood of a Herondale? That family is not well known for it's blood after all it is tainted with warlock blood." Freestorm sneered.
Jace jump up with a glare. "Come over here and say that to my face. They are using my blood because of the angel blood they think that the power it gives me will burn away any problems left behind." He said as the debate continued it was set that evening Zeth would be stripped of his marks and the following morning he would drink from the cup.
Jinx was sitting by Zeth when they came in to tell them this "Is the Clave trying to kill him!" she asked her fathers as she shook his head. "What if he doesn't wake up after being strip of his marks by morning! His marks are the only shield protecting him from his father at this point." She said to them "I'm going with him." She said firmly.
Zeth sighed at her "Jinx it's fine you should help you Dad with the spells to destroy the things my father is connected to. This way he can enter this plane." He told her his hand moved to her and held it tightly. "I'll make it I swear. I'll come out alive I promise."
Alec sighed "Actually Jinx you will be attending when he is strip they are having you and a few others outside with shields to keep Sebastian out. Zeth the process is going to be painful and Jinx you are going to have to listen to him scream but neither of you for a second can lose sight of what is at stake." Alec said to them weakly as Jinx paled looking at Magnus.
"You said you have heard the screams of a Shadow hunter being strip of their marks what did it sound like?" She asked.
"Baby-"
"Tell me Dad!"
Magnus let out a heavy sigh, "Edmund sounded as if he was going to die. Stripping away a hunters marks means stripping away a part of them and their soul." He whispered to her. "Which is why you are going to have to forget who Zeth is for a while Jinx."
"What" She hissed at him as she looked at him as he sighed.
"To make it easier for you I'm going to put a block on your mind so you don't know who you are protecting. So you don't know that a friend is agony." He told her as he watched her pale and shake her head.
"No." she said.
"Jinx do it." Zeth said to her as he looked at her "For me do it. If you hear me scream the shield will be weak and you won't be able to keep him out. A lot of people need him to be dead so we need to keep him out." He said to him.
Jinx looked at him weakly and sighed and nodded weakly "Alright I will do it" she whispered to them as she looked up at them. "When is this going to do down?" she asked.
"Next Month" Alec whispered to her softly.
