Please put the pitchforks and torches down, I have updated. Heads up I plan to add a little to Clary's powers just to make it a little more interesting. So without further adue chapter 11. Please Enjoy.

Chapter 11 The Worth of The Universe

previously (Jace pov)

"Oh come on" I said "with that poison in your veins? You've got like what ten minutes?"

"well in that case I better make them count," and she lunged at me.

Seb and I both charged her, she blocked my strike with her dagger and Sebastian's with her sword. Apparently Valentine had seen enough because when no one was looking he came up behind the three of us and grabbed the girl after a few minutes of struggling Seb and I both go a hold of her of her arms and held her still as father drew a sleeping rune on her left shoulder blade. She was out instantly, as she collapsed I caught her in my arms and realized just how fragile she looked despite all her strength.

"What do we do with her now?" asked Sebastian

"We take her home" answered Valentine simply

Johnathan pov

As I tumbled through the black and blue vortex my only thought was how I was going to tell Luke I lost Clary. He would be crushed, I was crushed. I promised mom and she was all I had.

"JOHNATHAN!"

I looked up and saw Luke running out of some building in front of me, concern written all over his face, and the next thing I knew my face was heading straight for the asphalt of the road.

Clary POV

The first thing I was aware of was pain. A burning and stinging pain in the back of my neck, like I was burning alive slowly from that point outward. My mind was clouded, I couldn't think straight or tell where I was. Every thing was a blur. I tried to move my arms, tried to sit up, anything but I just kept drifting in an ocean of ebony darkness. Icould heard voices but they kept fading in and out.

"Well we can't torture her not if we ever want her on our side."

"Okay then how do you suggest we forcibly remove information she doesn't want to tell us from her head, huh Angel Boy?"

"I…"

But his reply was cut off when suddenly the ocean swallowed me again and was plunged into darkness. I drifted in and out of consciousness for several more hours, I heard snippets of conversations and and bits of movement.

When I finally regained total consciousness I realized I was handcuffed to the iron headboard of a big twin sized bed, with nothing but a bare mattress on it. Ruff gauze bandages were wrapped around my neck covering the wound from the demon. Pealing my bright green eyes open, I blinked as they adjusted to the light. There was a florescent light bulb hanging from a string directly above me. The bed sat in the far left corner with the headboard up against the wall. A thick wood door was directly across from me on the opposite wall. On the wall to my right there was a window covered with thick iron bars. It looked like it was half under ground judging by the fact that light only filtered through the bottom half, and there was a musty mildew like smell you get from underground places. The stone floors and walls were wet with condensation, but nothing dripped from the sealing. It was cold enough to make me shiver, and I have been through a canadian blizzard.

I was tugging at the chains experimentally when the door suddenly opened. Valentine and Sebastian and the Golden Boy stepped in and he did not look happy.

John pov.

My eyes burst open with a ghasp. I looked around wildly for any kind of threat.

"Whoa whoa Johnathan, it's me, you're safe." i looked up into the blue eyes of Luke. The man who had been like my father. He never treated me different despite knowing whose child I was. How was i going to tell him i had lost the one thing in the world that meant more to both of us than the universe itself.

"I… I…"

"Where is Clary?"

"We were attacked and…"

I saw the realisation dawn on his face.

"Tell me everything."

Here is a sneak preview of chapter 12

Sebastian pov

"What the hell John." Clary shrieked "you suddenly just want to partner up with team evil word domination?"

''Of course not, but are we really even sure they are evil? I mean the only person who said they were bad was mom and we know how paronoi… I mean protective she could be."

"I can't believe I am hearing this mom would not have dragged us all over the face of the earth because she was paranoid."

Well maybe not but she could have been mistaken alright. She wasn't exactly the angel you make her out to be clary and you know it."

I grinned. This is exactly what i needed them divided so that i could come in and fix everything. The perfect opportunity to mold them into exactly what I need.

Wow 921 words. I put a lot of thought and time into this one guys. I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and tell me what you think of the story and what you would like to see next in the comments.
