You guys are amazing! Thank you for all of the wonderful support, and this chapter lives up to your expectations. Disclaimer: I don't own TMI, Cassandra Clare does. Sorry if the first parts a little gross, I didn't mean for it to turn out that way, it just did. Enjoy!

Clary POV

The pain was unbelievable. The metal seemed to sink into my skin, leaving a sharp object in its place, and letting the warm blood ooze into already opened wounds, causing their pain to increase. Jonathan showed no mercy, striking me over and over, until my back seemed to only be a mixture of blood and flesh. Every time the whip cracked down, I had to bite my tongue to keep from crying out. He doesn't need that kind of satisfaction.

After what seemed like an eternity, the whipping slowed to a stop. I collapsed to the floor, my eyes squeezed, trying to suppress the pain. As soon as I hit the floor, a spasm of pain jolted through my back and I let out a small yelp. The picture of Jonathan's ugly, triumphant smirk danced behind my eyelids, making this ten times worse.

"I'll let you wallow in your pain for a while. I'll come and get you for dinner. Maybe." I heard the door open and close behind him, and I struggled to get up. After I managed to push myself up so I was leaning on my elbows, my eyes filtered in the room around me. It had a large queen sized bed, a small chest for clothes, a small nightstand with a few drawers, and a built in bathroom. That's excluding my rather large blood stain. Now, to find a way to escape.

Jace POV

We were sitting in the L.A institute, discussing what went down at the warehouse. They were looking at us critically, maybe in some cases glaring at us intensely. Luke is out of wolf form and is shirtless, if you were wondering. I have a creeping suspicion that Magnus is checking him out, and honestly, that's pretty creepy. Anyway, the one girl, Harper I think, looked furious.

"YOU LET THEM GET HER AGAIN! HOW STUPID IS THAT, STORMING INTO A WEREHOUSE BARLY ARMED GAURDED BY A GUY THAT HAS MILLIONS OF DEMONS ON HIS SIDE WITH JUST THE SIX OF YOU! THAT IS JUST PLAIN RETARTED! AND YOU CALL YOURSELVES SHADOW HUNTERS!" She screeched, her voice hitting a pitch I didn't even know was possible, and I live with Izzy. That has to be some sort of record or something. No one, and I mean no one, can get their voice that high. Not even Rat Boy, the vampire wonder.

Luke ran a hand over his face, looking more stressed than normal. "Look Hailey," he began, "This is hard for us too. We were hoping you would help us next time, so we have a better chance at getting Clary back." The girl -Hailey apparently- seemed to think this over, but before she had a chance to answer, there was a loud thump noise on the front lawn.

Clary POV

I hoisted myself into a standing position, leaning on the bedpost to keep myself steady. I hobbled toward the dresser, hoping there would be something useful. Opening random drawers, I dug through the dresser as fast as I could.

"Tissues… Jewelry… underwear! By the Angel that's disgusting!" I mumbled under my breath. My vision began to get fuzzier, and it started getting harder to focus on what was in front of me. Finally I found something useful, my stele. I pulled it out from its drawer and began doing the only thing I could think of. Draw a rune.

Of course, a normal person would have drawn a irizite, but me being me and delusional from blood loss, I made a portal. Not my smartest move.

I thought of the front yard of the L.A institute, picturing every little detail clearly, and walked into the portal.

It hurt like crazy. The portal seemed to be taking more blood from my wounds, and shoving a needle in them. No I take that back, shoving many needles in them. By the time I got to the institute, my vision was basically gone. The last thing I remember is hearing a loud, painful, sickening thump, and then darkness.

Chapter 13 done! How was it? PLEASE READ THIS NEXT PART, IT'S URGENT FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THIS STORY!

I need to know, do you guys want Clary to stay at the L.A institute, or go back to the N.Y institute? I've gotten mixed reviews, and I'll do whatever you guys want. Please P.M me or tell me in your review. Thanks! R&R?
