Chapter 10
CPOV
Jace is sitting across from me eyeing me carefully. I was so relived to see that the three of them was okay that I even drew Jace into a tight embrace. Shocked us both. Now he is sitting here waiting on me to tell him what happened. I dont know where to begin. Better yet I dont know how to even begin to tell him. I mean its not like we are close anymore. He does have a right to know though cause this just doesnt affect me anymore. It affects our kids as well. As much as I hate it. Might as well suck it up and get on with it.
"I.. I.. I dont know where or how to even begin to start to tell you what is going on." I say looking anywhere but at Jace. "Why dont you start from the first." Jace says. "Okay but you have to promise to listen to everything I say and not interupt." "I promise." Jace replies taking hold of my hand giving it a gentle squeeze. "Remember when my parents died. Well to make this part of the story short the police officer told me she was holding a white rose and a blue ribbon in when the wreck happened. I never told anyone that. I kept that part to myself. I was in the studio recording a song. Magnus interupts my song to bring me a box someone had left for me. When I opened it there was a white rose blue ribbon and a note in it. I had Magnus throw it away. Well when I got back from Izzy's I noticed someone had been in my house. Like someone had slept on my couch while I was gone. There was a box on the end table. All it had in it was a teddy bear and a note. The note said they was coming for me. And the teddy bear came out of Anna's baby bed." I say trying to hold the tears back that are threating to resurface.
"How long has this been going on?" Jace asks. "For a few months. First it started with calls and texts but now Im getting these boxes. I just dont know what to do. Going to the police right now wont solve anything I cant prove someone is stalking me. At one point or another you see your stalker. I never have. Not that I can remember anyways." Jace was just sitting there staring at the box I brought in not saying anything. "Jace say something" I say placing my hand on top of his. Jace suddenly jumps up "I need some air." he says and walks out of the room.
I watch him go. I knew this was going to be hard for him because the kids are involved. I need to go find him. I know Jace and his temper and he will burn the city down trying to protect his kids. We need to think about this and deal with it like adults. Not like immature teens and knowing Jace thats just what will happen. Getting up from the couch I start towards the door only to find it blocked by someone. Why do they look so familiar. I just cant place a name with the face. "Hello Clary. Its been a long time." He says stepping towards me reaching for my arm.

I know it was wrong for me to walk away from Clary like that. After what she told me I needed to get some air. Im so much more then pissed. I dont think there is a word to describe how mad I am. At the same time I feel helpless. I dont know how to stop this. Or how to protect Clary and the kids from this. The only way is to be with them 24/7. I need to go back in and talk to Clary about this. We need to figure out how to handle this.
Walking back in and making my way back to the music room I notice two things. 1. The kids and Clary are not in the room anymore. And 2. the fruniture is messed up like someone has been in a fight. looking in each room I start panicing. I cant find Clary and the kids any where. Its almost like they disappeared into thin air. She wouldnt do that. Ive called and texted her. She isnt answering the phone or texting back. Something is'nt right. This is'nt like Clary. Not even Magnus is here and he's always here. Great no answer from Magnus either.
What in the hell could have happened? My phone vibrates in my hand pulling me from my thoughts. "Clary is that you?" I say not even looking at caller ID. "If you ever want to see your children again meet me at the boat docks." A male voice says. "Where are Clary and the kids? What the ell have you done? I swear if you hurt them I will make you regret the day you was born. Who is this?" I ask. "Just do as I say and no one will be hurt." He says and the line goes dead only to automatically light up with a new text message. You better come alone. No police or anything. I will know if you have been followed.
This is not good. I hope Clary knows Im on my way to rescue her and the kids. Sending Alec a quick text I grab my keys running out the door and racing towards the docks trying to hold myself together while my world falls apart.

So the big reveal will be next chapter. Any guesses who it is? Thank you to every one who has read, reviewed followed and favorited my story it means a lot to me.
