Clary POV
"Okay…" I say looking down at my feet Jon walks off in a tizzy, huffing and puffing about something under his breath.
"What was that about?" asked Jace with a worried look after his friend
"I have no clue…" I say
"Well I'm sorry your day isn't going as planned but keep your chin up." he leans forward and kisses my forehead in a comforting manner "I'll see you at the end of the day" he smiles at me and walks away in the direction my brother went. I stayed on the bench for a few more minutes before walking back towards my campus wing.
Jon POV
My father was planning something and I was on edge, I haven't stopped meeting him and he revealed his plan to me. He wants her dead and he wants me to prove my loyalty to him by helping him… I know what I have to do.
Clary POV
It's last hour of the school day and it's finally looking up for me people are starting to see that I'm still the same person I was before this incident only I'm happier now and I'm taking more, they aren't treating me like a China as much as before. I'm halfway through eight hour when I look outside the window the wind is slightly blowing the trees and it looks peaceful, for once in my life I am at peace I stare out the window in my own world, day dreaming. My peace is shattered when the announcement bell signaled we all quieted to hear,
"CODE RED! WE'RE IN CODE RED! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!" My eyes widen and I look around the room, everyone is panicking just as much as I am.
"Everyone get under the counter quickly please quickly." my teacher Mrs. Callaghan says in a hushed voice. Everyone obeys her command and shuffles under the long counter out of view from the door. I hear girls sobbing quietly and hyperventilating some guys are trying to look tough while others let silent tears down their cheeks, we all have one thing in common, we're all fearful for our lives. Down the hall I hear doors being banged on and it keeps getting closer till it's upon us. I'm not sure if it's the intruder or a student looking for safety but I hope everything will be over soon. The announcement bell sounds again, we're all hoping to hear an all clear from the police, but that's just too good to be true.
"Clary… I know you can hear me. Come out come out wherever you are. COME OUT YOU WORTHLESS GIRL! If you don't come out I'll find out, if that means going through each and every class killing everyone in that room till I find you so be it! You don't want to be the one responsible for the death of your peers now do you? You have 10 minutes I'll be waiting..." the announcement cuts off and everyone's eyes are on me.
"Get her out of here, go!" says a hysterical Kylie "GO!" she points to the door
"No she can't go out there she'll die." says the girl next to her; I think her name is Mia
"So!? One death is better than over a thousand."
"That's not the point!" they argue, I get up and walk towards the door "Where are you going are you crazy?" Mia says
"This is my problem and I'm not going to let people die because of me." I say with my hand on the door knob "I guess it was nice seeing everyone again, I'm sorry for everything…" I walk out of the door before anyone else can say anything let alone stop me. I'm running down the halls to the student commons area, I slow to a quick walk when I see Jon.
Jon POV
"I knew you would come. Clary don't do this I have…" he's interrupted
"Son excellent I knew you wouldn't betray me; you even tricked your sister into coming out of hiding you really are just like me. Come stand by me relish in the glory the victory we have won."
Clary POV
"You're working with him…" I say tears in my eyes "You… you helped him… Jon you promised you'd protect me…"
"He fooled you darling his hate for you runs as deep as mine."
Jon POV
I looked at her with pleading eyes she can't possibly believe what he's saying. Clary look at me look me in the eyes you'll know he's lying! I yell in my head. But she won't look at me…
Clary POV
I stare at my father tears in my eyes I can't believe this, this has to be a nightmare I'll wake up and I'll be in my bed at home… my father raises his gun.
"F-finally yo-ou'll get what you des-serve, such-h a waste of spac-ce…" he undoes the safety lock it's like déjà vu. He's sweating profusely and the stuttering is accompanied by twitching of his neck. He looks crazed, how could he have fallen so far down. I close my eyes and let a tears drip down my cheeks, I'm going to remember how he used to be. How he used to hold my hand at the park and push me on the swings, how he was at my first day of school because I was too scared to go in alone, how he read me bedtime stories, how he loved me before this sickness took over his mind and turned him into the monster he is now. This wasn't his fault. This wasn't his fault… I repeat over and over in my head waiting for the bite of the bullet.
