Kay. I forgot to say, Dilyn was submitted by Just a girl named Blaer. She's awesome and funny and a lovely person to write with. Also, she doesn't mind being kidnapped by an evil teenager who has a crush on his sister.
Dilyn woke up in a dark and barren room. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she could make out a figure standing in the center of the room. When the figure came closer, she realized it was Sebastian. She tried to move away, but her hands and feet were shackled to the wall.
"Well, look who finally woke up," said Sebastian.
"What do you want?" Dilyn snapped. She continued to pull at the shackles, and her wrists were already turning red. Sebastian moved closer, closing the distance with an inhuman speed.
"I want to expose the shadow hunters," Sebastian said with pride, "and you will help me." Dilyn snorted, and he held up a finger. "It's not the sort of thing that I need consent for. I'm going to mark you. You will end up in an alleyway in Brooklyn, half dead and certifiably mad. Do you know what one of the signs of madness is? Saying whatever's on your mind." Dilyn froze, then forced her face back into a snarl.
"Like hell! And haven't you ever heard of personal space?" She turned her head and spat on his shoes. He simply smiled.
"We'll see about that tomorrow. As for right now, enjoy your room, because you only have until morning." Sebastian smirked, then walked out of the room, locking it behind him.

"Fuck!" Jace ran into the Institute, nearly collided with Sapphira in the kitchen, and burst into Dilyn's room. Sapphira followed him in.
"You know, it's considered rude and more than slightly kinky to burst into a girl's room, whether or not she's there." Jace made an unamused sort of noise. "So, are you going to tell us bottom-feeders what's going on, or will I have to assume that you two were hooking up?" Jace who was rooting around under the bed at that point, glared at her.
"Dilyn's been captured. I need to track her. Does that answer your question?" She nodded.
"You want me to call the others?" He shrugged noncommittally. "Your loss. Cookies?" He grabbed a warm handful without looking, squirting melted chocolate all over his fingers, and tore into them with one hand. The other was holding an iPod. After industriously licking the chocolate off his fingers, he wrote out the tracking rune on the back of his fist and closed his eyes.
"I see her." He stood. "Well, I'm off. If anyone asks, I went to make amends." She scoffed.
"Somehow I get the feeling that that will make them even more worried than saying you were going to break into Sebastian's fortress."

After a while, the door opened again. Expecting to see Sebastian, Dilyn let out a string of curses at the blonde figure walking into the room.
"You know, that's not what I'd say to the person coming to rescue me," a familiar and irritating voice said. Dilyn let out a sigh of relief.
"Wow, who knew. This is the first time I'm actually happy to see you," Dilyn replied.
"You should be. And you're lucky I even came to find you. If you hadn't left all your stuff lying around in your room, I couldn't have tracked you." Jace took out his stele and started putting runes onto the shackles. They unlocked, and Dilyn pulled her hands free.
"Shut up and let's get out of here," Dilyn said walking towards the door. Jace put a hand on her shoulder.
"Allow me." Without waiting for an answer, he scooped her up and ran, full-force, out of the building.

Sebastian let out a roar of frustration and leaped at Amatis, pinning her to the floor.
"What do you mean, 'She escaped'?" Amatis swallowed hard, quailed by her master's anger.
"I went down to feed her, as you requested, and she wasn't there. The manacles had opening runes on them-" Sebastian howled again.
"Jace! It had to have been him. There's no one else that could have pulled it off." Amatis perked up.
"Should I go kill him, Master?" He shook his head.
"Not yet. Soon, but not yet."
So... Jace still cares, Sebastian has anger management issues, and Dilyn gets a ride home. What else is new? Sorry if I scared you guys by not updating, but my brother wouldn't let me on and the computer was being stupid, even though it's supposedly top-of-the-line. Reviews!
