Chapter 10

CPOV

"Is not just that someone belongs to you, it's that you give yourself to them. I debut you've ever given anything to anyone. Except maybe nightmares." I said.

"To give yourself to someone?" Have you"I couldn't read his face "given yourself to someone?"

"I have"

"And who's the lucky one who has my daughter's heart?" He asked. "Is it Alexander? You don't know any other shadow hunters after all"

"He's not a shadowhunter" I said. His face darkener.

"No daughter of mine will have a mundane as a lover."

"Oh, but is not a mundane" there was puzzelment in his face. "It's a Downworlder" his face darkener even more. "Its a warlock, Magnus Bane, he's my boyfriend and he loves me too, father." I said the last word with such a poison. He's going to kill me, the way he's looking at me screams 'disgust'. He slapped me with such a force that he knocked me to the floor. He grabbed me by my hair, I spit a mouthful of blood in his face. He slammed me against the wall. Pain filled my head, he cleaned his face. He grabbed me my my neck.

"Warlocks are demons. They don't love"

"You're wrong." I said, there was confidence in my voice. "You know nothing about me or Magnus. You're just trying to—" he hit me in my jaw.

"To what? I'm trying to reach you, Clarissa. To make you understand" there was no feeling in Valentine's voice.

"You should be happy, that I could find ove. That he loves me back, a real father would happy. Luke is."

"I am your real father. The same blood that runs in my veins runs in yours."

"Your not my father. Luke is."

"We have been over this" valentine said.

MPOV

I sat Alec in the back of the truck and let myself fall in the opposite side from him, we're both soaking wet. He coughed the water out and looked around. His eyes stopped in me.

"What —what happened?"

"You tried to drink the East river" I said. There was nothing funny in my voice, I don't know if they have found Clary. "I pulled you out."

"Thank you" he said. He searched his belt, looks like he didn't found what he was looking for. "Isabelle! She was claiming down when I fell—"

"She's fine. She made it to a boat. I saw her. You in the other hand might have a concussion" I said.

"I need to get back to the ship" Said Alec.

"I would help you" I said. "But I can. Stripping the protection wards off the ship was bad enough—it's strong, strong enchantment, demon-based—but when you fell, I had to put a fas spell on the truck so it wouldn't sink when I lost consciousness. And I willose consciousness, its a matter of time. The enchantment should hold enough to get back to land" Alec opened his mouth and closed it. "Have you seen Clary?" My voice cracked at her name.

"No. Jace is looking for her, she will be ok." He said. He put his hands out, I looked down at them and then at his face with confusion.

"Is not the right moment to confess your love" I said.

"Take my strength, to keep you going" he said. I didn't move.

"I thought you had to get back to the ship"

"I have to fight" Alec said. "But that's what you're doing, you're part of the fight just as much as the shadowhunters on the ship. I know you can take some of my strength, u have herd of warlocks doing that, so I'm offering you mine. Take it"

CPOV

"She'd never say that" I whispered. "Jace isn't a monster. Neither am I"

"I wasn't talking about—" the trapdoor over our heads slammed open, two figures dropped from the hole, landing behind Valentine. Jace. He was falling through the air like an arrow shot from a bow. He hit the floor with assured lightness. The second figure landed beside Jace with the same lightness. Who is it? Alec? Then I recognized the familiar face, the face of my best friend, whish I thought was dead.

I forgot the sword, the cold and the pain in my throat, I forgot everything. "Simon!" Simon looked at me in the eyes. The tears I had been holding slipped down my face. Valentina looked shocked, he looked from Jace to Simon. The moment the sword left my throat, the ice drained from me, taking all my strength with it. I sank to my knees, shivering uncontrollably. I raised my hand to wipe the tears away from my face, the tip of my fingers were white with the beginning of frost bite.

"What did you do to her?" Jace was staring at me with horror.

"Nothing, yet" said Valentine. "I'm the one who should be asking you what have you done, Jonathan" Valentine's eyes were Simon. "Why is it still alive? Revenants can regenerate, but not with such a little blood in them."

"You mean me?" Simon demanded. He sounded like someone who deserved to face him equal footing. "Oh, that's right, you left me for dead. Well dead-er."

"I let Simon drink my blood" said Jace. "So he wouldn't die."

"You willingly let a vampire drink your blood?" Valentine's face was red of anger.

"Yes" said Jace.

"You have no idea what you have done, Jonathan." Said Valentine. "No idea."

"I saved a life" Jace said. "One you tried to take. I know that much.

"Not a human life" Valentine said. "You resurerrected a monster that will kill to feed again."

I saw jace's eyes go to the Sword, then to me. There was an unspoken question. "The Sword isn't turned. Not quite. He didn't get Maia's blood, so he didn't finish the ceremony—"

"Valentine turned to me, sword in hand,he smile. The Sword seemed to flick in grasp, then something hit me—it was like being knocked over by a wave, thrown down and then lifted against your will and tossed through the air. I rolled across the floor, helpless to stop myself, until I struck the bulkhead with bruising force. I scrumpled at the base of it, gasping with breathlessness and pain.

Simon started towards me at a run. Valentine swung the soul-sword and a sheer, blazing fire rose up, sending him stumbling backwards with surging heat. The fire had receded, but Simon was still crouched on the floor.

"If you kill him now," said Valentine, "you can undo what you've done"

"No" Jace whispered.

"Just take the weapon you have in hand and drive it through his heart" Valentine's voice was soft. "Nothing you haven't done before" Jace met Valentine's stare.

"I saw Agramon" said Jace. "It had your face"

"You saw Agramon?" the soul-sword glittered as he walked towards Jace. "And you lived?"

"I killed it"

"You killed the Demon of fear, but you won't kill the vampire, not even for my order?"

"That's true, he's a vampire," said Jace, "but his name is Simon."

Valentine stopped in front of Jace, the soul-sword in hand. "I take it then that you haven't change your mind?" He said "What you told me an you came here before,hay was your finally word, or do you regret having disobeyed me?"

Jace was drawing something from his belt. His eyes never left Valentine's. "Yes" Jace said, "I regret having disobeyed you"

"Valentine's voice soften. "Jonathan—"

"Especially," Jace said, "since I'm planing to do it again. Right now." His hand moved quickly, and something hurtled through the air towards me. It landed a few inches from me. My eyes widened, ,y mother's stele.

Valentine began to laugh. "A stele? Jace is this a joke? Or have you finally—" I didn't brother listening to the end of his sentence. My shaking hand reached for the stale, ignoring the pain. I grabbed the stele I began to draw, open.

All my frustration, all my disappoint, all went to the stale and the rune. Open. All her love, all her relief at seeing simon alive, all her hope that they still might survive, all her love for Magnus. Open!

Her hand, still holding the stele, dropped. There was silence for a moment. The rune burned on the ship's bulkhead.

"What does it says?"asked Simon.

"It says" said Valentine. "Mene mene tekel upharsin." i staggered to my feet.

"That's not what it says"I said. "It says open."

Valentine met my eyes with his own. "Clary—"

The scream of metal drowned out his words. The wall where I had drawn the rune on, a wall of sheets of solid steel, warped and shuddered. Rivets tore free of heir housings and jets of water sprealyed into the room. I tried to run towards Jace and simon but fell on my knees as another surge of water came through the hole in the wall. The wave knocked me down, icy water under me. Terror gripped me, terror of the blind darkness and the depths of the river, the water around me was choking out the air of my lungs. I closed my eyes and Behan to think of the last kiss I gave Magnus, and of my mom. The darkness took me.

I woke up, I could hear my name being call. I looks around blinking, everythg was cover in ashes. I could see Luke, simon and Jace consern in their eyes.

"Where is Magnus?" I asked. They looked at each other, my hear contract. I stood up but fell back, Jace and simon helped me to my feet, I pushed past them. His eyes were close, there were tears in his cheeks. He looked so weak. I fell in my knees and hugged him. He opened his eyes and looked up.

"You're alive" he huggedme, carefully. "Did he did this to you?" He sacked touching were Valentine had hit me when I tolg him I loved Magnus. I nodded. Before he could say anything else I crushed my lips on his.

Days later

I opened Magnus's apartment and stepped inside. I walked towards the livingroom. Magnus was asleep on the loveseat. It had been a long day I went to see Simon, Jace and to the hospital. Then Medeleine said she knows how to wake up my mom. After that I told Luke and Jace. Then after a loooong talk I told Luke I was coming to see Magnus.

I stare down at him. He looks so peaceful. I kissed him in the lips, softly. I was about to draw back when he bite on my bottom lip, he took hold of my waist and pulled me on top of him.
