OK I couldn't wait to the end of the week to post this. Here's the last chapter enjoy!!!
Chapter 10
Hail and Farewell!
"Izzy I'm really tired I feel like I'm about to pass out." I told her.
"All right then I leave you to sleep." I gripped her hand tight.
"Please stay with me I don't want to be alone." she gave me a sympathetic look. I climbed in the bed and once my head hit the pillow I was out.
I couldn't sleep my baby was kicking up a storm. I rubbed my belly a couple times then I realized how thirsty I was. I looked on this table next to the bed and there was a glass cup.
I drunk what was in it quickly, it tasted so good it was a mixture of something sweet. but the only way I could described it is to say it taste like sunshine.
When the last drop was gone I wanted more. I noticed Isabelle was gone. I put on my shoes and left the room. I smell Pancakes I followed the smell all the way to this dining room. Someone stood outside of the doors.
When I got look at him I could tell he was fay. He has long midnight black hair milky skin and black eyes. When he smiled at me I could see that all of his teeth were sharp points.
"Your breakfast is waiting in there." he opened the door and I walked inside. He closed the door behind me the I heard the sound of the door locking. I banged on the door and screamed for him to let me out.
"It's no use he'll only open the door if I tell him to." I turned around and saw in standing by the table.
"What do you want from me?" I asked.
"What I want is for you to be mine and if you say yes then I wont kill Jace." He spoke.
"What if I say no?"
"It wont be a 'what if' Clarissa you'll die. Do you remember when you woke up this morning and you were uncontrollably thirsty?" I nodded my head yes.
"You drank something so sweet that is could only described as sunshine, well love it was a poison."
"You sneaky little . . ." I couldn't even get the rest of my words, he poisoned me. "Why would you poison me?"
"It was for insurance I have an antidote in fact this is the last of it." he showed me a vile only half way filled with this red liquid.
"What is that?" I asked. Something about it didn't seem right.
"It's blood from a water spirit and the last one died off centuries ago. So you see the poison is slowly entering your blood stream. In a couple of hours you'll start to feel sleepy and when you fall asleep you'll never wake up again."
I sat down and put my head in my hands, think Clary what would Jace do? He'd tell Ian to go to hell. But I cant say no, if I say yes Jace will be safe my baby wont die. But that also meant I could never be Jace again.
"OK I'll do it but you have to promise you wont hurt him." I asked.
"I promise you, and all I want from you is a kiss and then I'll give you the antidote." I gave him a quick peck on the lips then stepped away.
"What was that? Want you to kiss me as if you were kissing him." I knew he could see how much I loath him the hatred I felt for him was smoldering.
And I used that emotion, my lips crashed into his I wrapped my arms around his neck he placed both of his hands on both sides of my waist. I shuddered I guess he took that as pleasure, he made my skin crawl. If this is what I have to do to protect Jace and the baby then fine.
When I opened my eyes I didn't see Ian anymore I saw Jace he stood by the door , hurt colored his features. I wanted to say that it wasn't what he thought. But I knew it was no use. How could I even begin to explain.
"I knew it you would come for her it was only a matter of time and what good timing you have as you can see she's made her decision." Jace looked from Ian to me. I could see he was confused.
"Is this true?" Jace asked me I could only look away. What could I say to him? If he knew Ian poisoned me he would definitely kill him but I needed that antidote.
"I'll kill you before you could ever have her." he pulled a sword from his sheath. Then I realized that it was no ordinary sword it was the mortal sword. I could see the horror on Ian face. My seraph blade may not have been able to harm but the mortal sword would far more to him.
"Give me the Antidote!" I yelled a him.
"Do as she says." Jace came closer. Ian pulled out the vile I reached for but he dropped it I watched helplessly as the vile fell and shattered.
"I'd rather see you dead than to be with him." Ian spoke with pure hatred. Jace held the sword pointed at his chest. Then I saw shadow hunters enter the room and there were many of them but my parents weren't among them. The Inquisitor stood in front of every one. She wore a blank expression but I could see she was proud of Jace with the way he seemed to be in control.
"Ian Archer it's time you be judge, every shadow hunter in attendance will witness your execution. One of our shadow hunter saying is death before dishonor, and you sir have dishonored every member in your family. Your punishment will not only affect you but every member of your family they will be cursed with your dishonor they will try to atone for your traitorous ways but will only do it in vain, there children will carry the curse and so forth until there is one who can break it." the inquisitor spoke. He hung his head this was the worst possible way to mark the family of a traitor every shadow hunter will know that his family had a traitor.
"Any last words?" Spoke Imogen.
"Yeah I have two Screw you." Ian spoke. Two of the shadow hunter came up behind Ian and pushed him to his knee's. He stared at Jace, this had to be sight for him Jace would be his death giver.
"Your death will be over quickly, your bones will never lay in the silent city, your death will not be honorable and you will never enter the gates with the Angels. And that Ian is a horrible death."
this was a horrible death to be ripped of your honor, thats all a shadow hunter has we were it on our sleeves and Ian wont even have that I feel sorry for him. Jace lifted the mortal sword above his head, the two shadow hunter on both sides Of Ian held his down. And with one swift movement Ian was dead.
I didn't even have time to consider what had happened before Isabelle came bursting through the doors and Johnathan was right beside her I almost went bounding to him when Jace held me off with his arm he handed me a seraph blade.
I had forgot that Izzy and Johnathan had allied with Ian. Behind them I could see demons and Fay. I really wished I could have found out what he was planning. Hopefully all this madness would end with Ian.
"Clarissa I'm so sorry." Izzy Spoke. She held a seraph blade in one hand and her whip in the other. She turned around quickly she sliced through the first demon in her path. Once the demons and fay understood Isabelle betrayed them they began to fight and so the massacre began.
I watched as Johnathan started to destroy everything in his way. I went to Izzy side I helped her destroy the fay it felt like old times again,we were paraboti.
When we were nearly finished killing the demons another batch seemed to appear out of no where. Isabelle gripped my hand pulled me into another room.
The last glimpse I caught of Jace he was decapitating one of the fay.
"Clary I want you to run and leave don't look back."
"I can't leave I have to stay and help." Izzy's hand came crashing down on my face.
"I wont tell you again! Leave and don't worry we'll find you.
"OK I'll leave but tell me did you really join his side." I asked.
No, the inquisitor asked Johnathan and I to infiltrate this cirques. And don't ask what exactly I had to do to get in." She gave me smile I quickly hugged her. Then I noticed her shirt was soaked with blood.
"Your bleeding!" I spoke.
"It's not my blood." she spoke. I looked at myself, my shirt was soaked with blood also. I was cut from my shoulder down the length of my side. It was my blood but I cant seem to remember how I got the wound. I quickly hid it.
"It's not my blood." I lied to her I didn't need her to worry or for her to tell Jace.
"OK go through that door,it leads straight outside." she said that then left. I opened the door and ran and I never stopped.
* * *
I found myself at the institute I went straight inside.
"Clary!" It was my mother voice then there was another voice my father I ran straight to my room I didn't want them to see me. But I bet it was pretty obvious what I looked liked.
"Open the door Clary." I could feel my eye's getting heavy and I found my self yawning. Ian words drifted into my mind " . . . when you fall asleep you'll never wake up again."
"Mom Dad I love you both so very much, and I want you both to never blame yourselves." I new it was only matter of minutes before I would succumb to the overwhelming need to sleep.
"What are you talking about Clary, what did he do to you?" I didn't answer I found myself lying down my eyes closing and I felt my baby kick one last time. In my heart I knew my baby had just died.
I was jolted awake, Jace was shacking me.
"Wake up damn it! Clary don't die I need you." I could see the tears streaming down his face.
"I need you to." I spoke.
"Thank the angels." he let out a breath.
"Jace I need you to do something for me but I need you to promise first." I said.
"Clary what are you . . ."
"Promise me!" I screamed at him
"I promise." he spoke in almost a whisper.
"I want you to use the mortal sword and kill me."
"No!" He spoke.
"Yes Jace you promised. Please I don't want to die knowing it was because of Ian. At least give me the choice of how I should die. Please just let me die with my pride let me die with my honor, it's all I ask."
"I can't live with out you Clary I refuse to I'll follow you through heaven and hell if I have to." I could see he meant every word.
"Then I'll see you on the other side." I kissed him fiercely it was the a sad kiss. It was the best possible way to say goodbye to one another. Tears began to flow down my cheek they mingle with the kiss. I finally had to pull away from him.
"Death is not the end Jace well see each other again." I spoke softly.
"What about our baby?" Jace asked. I didn't have the heart to tell him our baby was gone.
"Our baby will live on in heaven." it was all I could say.
"I love you." Jace spoke
"I love you to."
I felt the cold steel slice through my chest, I smiled, finally the sweet release of death. I felt Jace lay me down, my vision began to get cloudy the last thing I saw was my angel staring down at me.
JACE P.O.V
Clary's eyes closed. I kissed her on the cheek once. I stepped away from her I took th mortal sword and thrust it through my chest. Valentine came bursting through the door. The last thing I saw was Valentines body sinking towards the floor.
VALENTINES P.O.V
There were three ivory caskets. Two large one's and one small one. We were giving them a traditional shadow hunters funeral. When Isabelle and Johnathan told us everything that had happened. I felt more respect towards Jace more than any other shadow hunter I've known. But the hated him more for taking my daughter away from me.
"Valentine?"
"Yes." I looked over at my wife.
"Imogen's done speaking it's your turn now." I gave my wife a quick kiss on the cheeks and walked over towards the caskets.
"Jace and Clary were the best of shadow hunters they fought with integrity and died with dignity. My daughter has been taken away from me and a grandchild I will never know. We have had so much blind faith in the clave that it ultimately led to their deaths. But I promise here and now the corrupted members of the clave will pay reparation for their mistakes." I walked closer to the caskets.
"Jace, Clary and my granddaughter Alex hail and farewell."
Alec, Izzy and Johnathan set a fire caskets they deserved a proper hunter funeral. Their ashes will be used to build a new entrance door to the silent city. That door will not allow entrance to the silent brothers. They will also be punished for their involvement.
Jocelyn waited a little ways away. I could see that she was crying I got to her as quickly as I could. I held her.
"Don't cry their was nothing we could do the length of our lives and the day of our deaths were fated long ago." She cried harder I held her tighter.
Ok thats the end please review and tell me what you think.
