Disclaimer: I don't own MI…don't we all know that?

Anyway, I'm hoping to get 43 reviews…please?

Jace suddenly heard Clary's voice inside his head abruptly stop. What had happened? He frantically called out to her countless times, only getting silence reciprocated back to him.

Should I look for her? He wondered uncontrollably. What if she got hurt by that strange creature she was talking about?

But now that their connection had faded away—most likely because Clary had been too distracted to answer back, he hoped—Jace had no means of knowing Clary's location. He decided that the best way to meet her again was to continue what he had been doing before he knew she was in trouble.

Jace broke into a run, heading toward his destination—2 wood doors leading into a church.

He burst open the doors, and sprinted through the hallway. He noticed where was heading toward another set of doors that were pretty far away. They would take him a few minutes to reach, even with his Shadowhunter speed.

Wait for me, Clary, he prayed silently. You have to be alive. So does everyone else. You guys have to be.

Isabelle POV

"Sebastian," I snarled as ferociously as I could muster. It was hard, because my throat and lips were dry from dehydration. I couldn't even recall the last time I had drank something.

"My name isn't Sebastian", Sebastian said almost angrily. "It is Jonathan."

Alec shook his head. "We don't care what you want to be called," he said. "We all want to know what you want with us."

Sebastian's lips perked up. It was not a pleasant smile; it was more of a mischievous smirk. "Does it matter?" He answered. "You will all die, sooner or later. I'm just waiting for my dear brother to arrive."

My eyes widened. "Jace isn't here," I disagreed. "We split up with him before you found us."

Sebastian's eyes narrowed. He obviously did not believe me. I wasn't surprised. It's not like we were BFFLs or something.

"Perhaps it was not wise of you to state that," he said. "It just shortened your sorry lifespan."

He snapped his fingers, and a demon appeared out of thin air. "You will be my experiment, then. Instead of Jace."

I laughed, just like Jace would have. Like any Shadowhunter would have before their death, bravely. I would never show fear to this…monster.

"A demon?" I mocked. "You want us to fight a DEMON for your little experiment? Your standards are quite different from your father Valentine, aren't they?"

Sebastian smiled another cold smile. It sent uncontrollable shivers down my spine. Even Valentine did not smile before killing an innocent life. He had thought he was doing good to the world, at least. His son, however, was just using them as experiments.

"You'll see," he said smugly. "Tenebrius, free the Shadowhunter boy." The demon raised its sword-like hands and easily sliced through the manacles binding Alec.

I immediately felt fear. "Wait!" I nearly begged as Alec fell to the floor. "Whatever you're doing, choose me instead!"

"No can do," Sebastian said, visibly enjoying my pain. The bastard.

Alec stood up, somewhat struggling in the process? Was he hurt?

"Don't worry…," Sebastian added. "You'll soon see your brother—in Hell." The demon named Tenebrius raised his hands, and pointed the blades at Alec.

"ALEC!" I screamed. He couldn't die, not now, not ever. He was my only brother alive. Max was gone already; I had barely survived the time he had died. I couldn't bear through the same pain again.

"Alec!" a voice I knew well yelled. "Are you all right?"

It was Jace.

So…please review. I'm hoping for 43 reviews. Thanks in advance!
