When they arrived at the Institute Catarina was waiting for them. She had a vial of Clary's blood. Seeing it sickened Jace. His heart was in his throat and seeing that and not knowing if she was all right was killing him. Catarina had drawn a ring of runes on the floor. She stood in the center and motioned Jace to come into the circle. She took his hands and said "Think of Clary. The last time you saw her, how she looked, what she smelled like, words you said to one another. Make that thought a reality in your mind."
Jace did as she asked thinking of last night with her in his arms, how she smelled of apples and honey. The silkiness of her hair, the rhythmic beating of her heart. Her warmth against him.
"That's good." Catarina murmured. "I see water, mist, a dock. She's here in the city. She's weak. She can hear Freya crying begging whoever has her to let her go. He's laughing."
"Can you see where they are?" Alec asked.
Catarina looked at him with venom in her eyes. "Not if you break our concentration." Catarina closed her eyes again. There's ships, containers…a building. There's a room, upstairs..." Catarina collapsed as if she was in pain. Jace knelt down beside her. Catarina looked at him. "I'm alright, she's at the docks, the same place as before. You know the place….hurry."
Jocelyn came into the circle. "Thank you. I can't…I can never repay you."
Catarina smiled weakly. "Find Clary."
Jocelyn nodded. "Let's go."
Luke stepped into her path. "You can't go. You can't fight, not right now."
"What are you talking about?" Jace asked looking confused.
Jocelyn shook her head. Luke gave her a chastising look. "Jocelyn's pregnant. We were going to tell you today. But then Isabelle called to see if Clary was there and we got worried."
Jace glanced at Simon who gave him a look that said I told you they'd freak. He huffed in disgust. "Alec…Iz"
They nodded.
"We will bring them both home." Jace said looking at Luke. "I promise." He turned to Jocelyn, "Clary wouldn't want you or her brother or sister in danger. Please, let us do this."
Luke glanced at Jocelyn who nodded sadly at him. "Bring her home."
