RECAP!

Clary is now being held captive by Valentine, as well as Laurel and Jace

Isaac did something to Jace, and now our Arrogant Asshole is unconscious xp

ANYWAYS, ENJOY THE CHAPTER!

Clary sat on the cold floor of the cell, her eyes wandering over to Jace every few minutes to see if he'd woken up: He hadn't. She glanced up at Laurel who was obviously distraught.

"I gave myself over to Valentine," Laurel said quietly, breaking the silence that had hung in the air for the last hour.

Her green eyes went wide with shock when she heard the girl's quiet words. "What?" she gasped. "W-Why would you give yourself to Valentine?"

Laurel exhaled slowly before looking up at Clary. "He said he-" she stopped herself as if contemplating her words. "He said, he wouldn't hurt Jace."

Someone else cares about Jace?

Clary looked at the other girl who's dark eyes were on Jace, shining with sadness. Jealousy blossomed in the redhead's chest but she suppressed it. Neither of them could have Jace, it didn't matter.

Laurel brushed a few matted strand of bloody, golden hair from his angular face. Then, she saw something. The slightest flutter of his eyes. She knew Laurel had seen it to because the girl was holding her hand as if touching him had electrocuted her.

Jace's eyes opened, the amber irises as bright as ever. He sat up slowly, carefuly, looking from Clary to Laurel and back again.

"Jace," both girls said in unison.

He remained quiet, not a single word escaping his lips as he looked at them.

"Jace, are you okay?" asked Laurel as she placed a tentative hand on his shoulder.

"I'm fine but. . ." His voice trailed off and his brow furrowed.

"But what Jace?" Clary asked, fear rising in her chest.

"But who are you and who's Jace?" he asked, looking at Clary and then Laurel, obviously expecting an answer.

"Jace," Clary began, trying to hide the panic in her voice. "Jace it's me-Clary. And that's Laurel. We're your-"

"Ungh," he groaned. "Stop."

Laurel and Clary both watched with horrified expressions as the golden-haired boy fell to the stone floor, pulling at his hair and groaning, nearly screaming in agony.

"Jace," Laurel finally said, her voice soft. "you're going to be okay," she said, placing a hand on his cheek.

Suddenly, he stopped.

Clary gasped as Jace sat up, shaking his head.

"Wha-what happened?" he asked, looking at Laurel who looked over at Clary. Jace looked over at the emerald-eyed girl as well, his amber eyes full of question.

"Well, well, well," said a familiar voice as the cell door slid open, the metal scraping against the ground. "I should've known it wouldn't have worked on you; you're much stronger than I thought," Valentine said as he stood in front of the trio, his fair-haired minion missing from his side.

"What are you talking about Valentine?" Clary asked, her head racing.

"All in good time Clarissa. In fact, I need you to come with me dear," he said, jerking her up by her arm.

Clary could only stare at him with wide eyes as he pulled her out of the cell, shut the metal door, and dragged her down the corridor.

O.O.O.O.O

Clary.

Valentine got to her. The thought of never seeing Clary again made Jace's stomach twist into a giant knot. That's when he realized Laurel was still in the room, hugging her knees to her chest and staring numbly at the floor.

"My fault," she muttered.

"Laurel, what are you talking about?" Jace asked as he moved closer to the frightened girl.

"If-If I had just been more careful, he-he wouldn't have found me," she admitted, looking up at him with sadness gleaming in her dark eyes.

"Laurel, don't blame yourself for this," he uttered softly as he wrapped an arm around her shaking form.

"How can I not Jace? I've been running for so many years. I thought I-I escaped and I let my gaurd down and-"

Jace couldn't handle listening to her blame herself for everything. It was like she was breaking. Slowly, yet surely, breaking into a million pieces he would never quite find again.

He pressed his lips to hers, wondering if she would react to the kiss. His question was answered when she tangled her small hands in his hair and pulled on it ever so slightly, causing a small groan to escape his lips.

Her lips parted and he deepened the kiss, pulling her on top of him so she was straddling his waist. His lips left her mouth for a moment before he pressed them against her jaw and down her neck, smirking against the soft skin when he felt her shiver underneath him.

She tasted sweet, her skin did, like peaches whereas Clary had tasted like apples and something delicate when he had first kissed her. . .

No! Don't think about Clary, he warned himself.

He kissed her shoulder, pushing the sleeve of her shirt down as he went, moving his lips across the bare skin there as her hands wandered across his torso and neck, raising goosebumps on his tanned skin. Jace kissed back up her neck and jaw, running his tongue along the shell of her ear when he reached it.

"Jace," she murmured softly.

But the voice he heard wasn't Laurel's, it was Clary's. He pulled away to see no longer the dark-haired girl, but the girl with fiery hair and bright green eyes that bore into him.

The girl he was trying to forget.

Then, she started to change again, her face turning into Laurel and back to Clary. It was Laurel's lips, Clary's nose, Laurel's hair, Clary's eyes: But the girl in front of him continued to shift and change until she disappeared completely, leaving him alone in the dark dungeon.

Alone with his feelings, alone with his sorrow, alone with his despair; completely, and utterly alone. . .

O.O.O.O.O

Jace woke up, gasping for breath.

It was just a dream.

He glanced over at Laurel who was curled up in the corner of the cell, shivering. Jace crawled over to her and he wrapped an arm around her, holding her cold form to his body.

"All my fault," she muttered before her breathing became steady and no more words escaped her lips.

Nooooo, Laurel and Jace did NOT kiss (I was so sad when I wrote that DX)

What about Jace?! Are his intentions becoming clear? Is there a reason why he's dreaming about Laurel, yet also about Clary?

This chapter does in fact reveal why Laurel is so important to Jace xp

AND NO! HE DOESN'T KNOW THEY'RE SIBLINGS YET! XD I guess he's getting. . .sister-blocked? xD

What about Jace losing his memory?! What do you think Valentine's plan is? If you can guess correctly, you will win. . .
