I AM STILL ALIVE! Guys and gals, I am so sorry for not posting an update in a while. I was having some writers block and then I had a tournament this past weekend. Which we bombed and royally screwed ourselves, but we will make a comeback! My schedule should go back to its normal stressful self over the next few days, so I should be able to update more regularly again. I hope everyone is enjoying life.

Jace Pov:

I heard someone knocking on the door downstairs, but I knew that Mom would answer it. Clary was still wrapped in the security of my arms. I could hear my mom's light footsteps and the lock in the door click. All of our lives the Lightwoods and I have trained to be able to detect the slightest sound, movement, and how to fight like the best. Clary started to wiggle around in my arms and I could tell that she was waking up. She turned around to look at me in my arms. I don't know why, but everything felt right like two puzzle pieces fitting together.

"Good morning." Clary's voice sounded scruffy from sleep. I felt myself chuckle lightly at her hair.

"What are you laughing at Herondale. Not all of us can look like gods after sleep." Clary stretched out and I got up to stretch myself. We kept up the playful banner before I asked Clary if she wanted to head down to get some breakfast. It was nice to be like this and forget about our worries for a little while. Clary left the room before I did with a glass of water that I had brought with me last night. I finished making the bed before following her. I was about to make it to the bottom of the stairs when I heard a glass shatter. I rushed into the front hallway where I saw clary standing like a statue and glass surrounding her where she had dropped the water she had. I ran to her side to see what was wrong not caring about the glass under my feet. That is when I saw the person who was on the other side of the door. She looked exactly like Clary, which could only mean one thing, that was Clary's mom. I turned my attention back to Clary. I stood in front of her to break their eye contact. That seemed to shake Clary out of her head because she finally locked eyes with me. She nodded her head at me quickly, but I knew that she was thanking me. She quickly stepped around me and ran towards the woman standing at the door.

Clary Pov:

I don't understand. How? She was, she was actually in the same house as me. This wasn't possible, she shouldn't have been able to get out. I can't imagine what she has gone through over the years. I can feel scars all over her back and the familiar smell of blood reaches my nose. That breaks the moment for me, it brings back so many memories that my mother and I both share. I can feel the tears running down my face and I see them stream down my mom's, I reach up and wipe them away and Mom smiles at me.

"Celine, do you have a first aid kit somewhere?" Mom frowns at me after she hears my question. "Don't try to hide it from me I can feel them and smell the blood Mom."

"I believe that there is one in the upstairs bathroom off the hallway." Celine points up the stairway and then tells Jace to show me which one she is talking about. I grab my moms hand and lead the way after Jace. He opens the door before walking around the both of us to go back downstairs, but stops midway. He walks back towards the both of us and reaches out to shake my mom's hand.

"Hello Ms. Fairchild, it's nice to meet you. I am Jace Herondale." He smiles a genuine smile at her before releasing her hand. Mom seems to be shocked for a few seconds before responding.

"It's nice to meet you too, Jace. You look just like your father." I frantically look to Jace's face to gauge his reaction. I see his normally bright, golden eyes darken a few shades. I quickly step in front of my and put my hands on both of his arms. I try saying his name, but he doesn't respond.

"Mom just go into the bathroom and start dressing the ones that you can reach. I'll help you with the ones on your back after I help Jace." Mom looks like she might argue, but i give her a look and she goes into the bathroom. I wrap one of Jace's arms around my neck and wrap one of mine around his waist. I lead him as best I can to the room we were in earlier. I get him onto the bed and then pick his feet up. His eyes are closed now, so I go back to the bathroom to help my mom. She has most of the cuts and burns on her arms bandaged, but the damage done to her back is severe. I can't believe that she can still walk. I walk behind her and see the true extent of injuries, but that was before I was overtaken by the darkness again.

I was in the Morgenstern mansion, but this time I was with my mother and Luke in my bedroom. They were training me again, but this time we weren't fighting. They were training me to use my powers, my gifts. That day in particular they were teaching me how to use one that my father didn't even know about. There was a rabbit with an injured leg sitting on the floor in front of me. I had to focus before I could hear what Mom and Luke were saying.

"Just focus on what you want to do Clare and it will happen. We have faith in you, you can do this. The me from the memory shook her head and began to focus on what she was doing. She lifted our arm and passed it over the rabbit lying in front of us. I could see the bones in the legs start to move and the leg began to look normal again. I healed the rabbit with my powers. This time I didn't have to wait for the darkness, I brought my own self out.

I blinked away the rest of the fogginess from the memory before looking at my mother in the mirror. She looked confused and I could only imagine what i looked like when I went to my memory. I just gave her a reassuring smile before I did what I did in my memory. I focused on the thought of healing Mom and passed my hand over all her injuries. I watched in fascination as I saw them fade to small pink scars. When I looked back up to the mirror I saw Mom's face of shock and chuckled lightly to myself.

""Cece and Luke took the necklace off. I remember almost everything, but somethings only come back in certain situations, like now. I remembered when you and Luke were training me to heal the rabbit." I smiled sweetly at her and she turned around and gave me a hug that I didn't want to end. It felt like time had paused when they took me from that horrible place and it resumed now that Mom had escaped too.
