A/N okay so this chapter took a long time to write, but I like how it turned out, so here it is, next chapter, I hope I can start writing more for this story, I want to have it finished before the real next book come out

The council room was in an uproar, everybody was trying to speak at once, Alec couldn't catch half of what was being said, but he had picked up enough to know that Sebastian's army had marched on the London Institute, and that the few survivors, were unable to be helped with Iratzes. Suddenly the voice of the Consul rang through the air, "Silence!" he shouted, the shadowhunters that were yelling back and forth fell instantly silent as they turned to face the Consul. "how do we expect to defeat this menace, if we are to busy bickering amongst ourselves? We must make plans and lay out strategies. Not bicker and argue."

Alec nodded in agreement, "we must discover where the enemy hides, and strike them down!" shouted one of the shadowhunters that was involved with the earlier roar. The Consul held up his hand for silence, and turned to face him. "and end up no better than the few survivors of the London attack." he said calmly, "we must first discover what their weapons are, and why our runes do not work against them." Alec rose to his feet.

The room turned to face him, "my sister has injuries dealt by these weapons, all she could tell us, was that the blades looked like they had been forged in the fires of hell itself, so it's reasonable to assume that they are demonic in origin." this was answered by gasps, and horrified mumbles. "we know what it is now, we must strike! Now while the enemy is clueless, and unprepared!" shouted the same voice that had spoken this thought moments before. The Consul pounded his hand palm out against the knotted wood of the desk, "knowing why their weapons are so deadly, does not make charging in there guns blazing, our only option, and any more mention of it will be of no use, seeing as it has already been shot down twice!" he roared.

Suddenly a clapping filled the air, "bravo! Bravo! Well put consul. Don't go charging into enemy territory blind. That would be a very bad idea would it not. Though there is one thing I don't understand consul, if that's such a bad strategy, how come it's working so wonderfully for me and my friends?" asked a chillingly familiar voice from above Alec, "oh also, that was a very good observation on Isabelle's part. She knew right where our weapons are forged." a knife appeared in front of Alec's face, "do you like it? I had it specially ordered from hell, I made a twin for my baby sister, but I'm not so sure she's ready for it. Gotta get that pesky angel blood out of her system first."

Alec cringed, not only from the sight of such a grotesque blade, but also from the chill of Sebastian's breath against his neck. "well, Jonathan. I can't say I like it much, also can't say Clary would be to thrilled to get such a hideous gift. I mean especially now that I know the little mix you gave her didn't have much effect."

Startled Alec looked over at the door, to see Jace walking in, covered in battle runes, and armed to the teeth.
"Also, do you mind? I'm kinda fond of Alec, so would you kindly put that thing down, so we can talk like civilized shadowhunters? I mean if you still count yourself a shadowhunter, which judging by the black mark on your hand." Jace tilted his head to the side, raising his hands in a shrug. "I can tell you still are, what do you call your freaks anyway? I mean dark shadowhunters is a bit of a mouthful."

Behind him Alec heard Sebastian release a hiss, "how? Last I saw you. You were tied to a chair in my basement!" Jace laughed "what can I say? Maybe I'd still be there, if, and this is a big if. Your guards, weren't to busy, lounging around watching Spongebob through their eyelids."

While Sebastian was distracted Alec grabbed his wrist wrenching it to the side, and grabbing the handle of the blade as it was dropped, jumping away, Alec brandished it at him, till it started to glow red hot, gasping Alec let go allowing it to fall to the ground with a clatter. "see that's the trick with these weapons, they can't be wielded by any living being other than that of my darkling's and sadly that's why sweet Clarissa can't have hers yet." Sebastian said walking towards him, on the backs of the chairs, that the Clave had vacated moments before. "you see, that pesky extra dose of angel blood dear old dad gave her, made her very sadly resistant to the crossover, well somewhat resistant, she has moments were she's just to strong for the demon I put in her to fight, and I'm guessing that's how Jace here really got out."

Alec watched as anger boiled in the depths of Sebastian's eyes. "now I really am sorry that we lost our connection, I kinda miss having a brother, but hey. I've got a sister now, don't I Jace?" glancing over Alec saw Jace tense up and tighten his grip on the knife he held in his hands, and if Alec didn't know any better he would have sworn he saw a little bit of a glow across his skin. "I wouldn't speak to soon there Jonathan. Considering your dear sister was the one who let me go." Jace growled and lunged forward with one of his seraph blade shinning in his hand.

~TMI~

Clary made her way though the halls of the Clave, blades in her hands, and sheaths strapped over a skintight black tank top, and another one tucked into her knee high boot. She walked with purpose, she mightt have let Jace go but, that didn't mean she wasn't ready to remedy that.

From the commotion in the council room, Clary figured Sebastian must already be there, good it saves her from having to retell her recapture of Jace. NO! Clary shook her head, annoyed, "little girl you really must stop fighting. You will never win." she muttered, damn goody two shoes had to quit interfering with her new life. It just wasn't going to work. No sooner had she thought this then pain split down the center of her skull. "damn! Stop it you little bitch!" she screamed. "not a chance princess." she said in a lighter tone of voice, "this is my body now" she growled with a silky darkness tingeing her voice. She fell to her knees with a whimper, "if that's really true why can I over come you so easy?" she said in a taunting voice.

"hehe if it's, not why are you having so damn much trouble holding on to it?" she chuckled darkly, "maybe I'm just toying with you bitch." she started to stand making her way towards the door, "thank you I wanted to come this way." she said her voice taking on a razors edge, "to bad bitch it's my turn!" she hissed pushing forward, "oh yeah? well I'm sorry, I failed sharing in kindergarten." clutching her skull she pushed through the door, the room fell silent, she looked up, catching Jace's eye, tears filling hers, "help me." she whimpered then she collapsed, letting unconsciousness claim her, I won this round. She thought just before consciousness slipped away.
