I've never in my life gotten out of a car this fast before. I can see Jace getting out of his car, getting ready to run again but I'm quicker. I literally leap on top of him, tackling him to the ground. We land onto the ground with the sound of a body mass slapping against the grey pavement outside my old house. I land on top of him but rip the skin off my knees. They are gushing out blood on the pavement making it a disgusting red. I can't imagine what Jace looks like. It's just lucky his reflexes are quick as he flipped his body around so he landed on his back. And somehow he kept me on top of him in his pursuit to protect his delicate and pretty face. He groans and pushes me off. I watch him kneel on the pavement, gripping his scratched back.
"Jace-"I start to apologize but I'm cut off by a door smashing open. A fuming Valentine stands at the top of the steps and a wave off anger covers me completely. It's like I'm drowning in anger and all I can think and feel is how angry I am. God, I wish I brought my sword. I just want to kill him right now. I don't have a reason but I just really want to. I stand up despite the scream from my bleeding knees and aching body and position myself in front of an unsteady Jace trying to stand up. I look at Alec and dart my eyes back to Jace behind me, indicating for him to help Jace. As usual, he understands and rushes to Jace. Magnus comes to stand next to me followed by Sebastian positioning himself on the other side. Valentine just watches the scene in front of him with a smirk and I picture myself cutting the smirk off his face. Not slapping it but cutting it off. That's how bad my anger is right now. He starts to laugh and my anger starts to boil. I don't know why I'm angry but I'm so angry right now.
"My children" Valentine says not moving at all, losing his smirk and laughter.
"We are not your children!" Sebastian yells from beside me. I want to smack him. I want to smack everyone and kill Valentine.
"You are the children of the Endarkened. Therefore, you are my children." He opens his arms like he expects us to run to him like a happy family reunion. It's far from it.
"They aren't! I however, have the displeasure of having you as my biological father!" I yell back but I'm distracted by hearing a huge groan and grunt from behind me and I see Jace finally on his feet looking as mad as ever. He nudges past me hard and I fall onto the blood stained pavement but I'm back on my feet in an instance to tackle him again but Sebastian is already on it and for the first time in a long time, I thank him in my head. I hear footsteps pounding down steps and I step in front of Jace again so I'm facing Valentine face to face.
"MOVE CLARY!" He roars as I take a step closer.
"No!" I scream back and shove him in the chest, sending him a couple steps back.
"I'm going to kill him!" Valentine is standing still but he is in a battle stance with clenched fists and teeth.
"No you won't! You won't touch any of them!" I yell and advance towards him. I hear Jace and Sebastian both grunting and I silently wish that Alec will step in.
"Why are you defending them?! I'm your family!"
"You were never my family! They were!" I point behind me and I hear quick footsteps as Jace grabs the back of my top and yanks me back. I don't fall this time, just stumble. Before I can stop him, Jace is tackling Valentine to the ground. I yell for them to stop and yell at Alec to do something but he shakes his head. What the hell Alec?! I run up to them as Valentine throws Jace to the side. Before Valentine can get to his feet, I slam my fist into his face without thinking. Valentine looks at me shocked momentarily but he quickly reacts. He grabs my sore legs and yanks them out for underneath me so I land on my back, making me scream in pain. I have been taught by Valentine that once you are in a fight, you are in it until someone dies or the fight is stopped respectively. Wise advice Valentine. I kick my leg free right into the middle of his throat, directly on his windpipe. He makes a strange strangled sound in the back of his throat. I slowly get to my feet and walk up to Valentine and pry his hands off his throat and replace it with my foot. I press harder and he can't breathe again. I hear Jace screaming for me to stop but all I can see and think is killing Valentine. All I can see is red. 2 pairs of hands grab my shoulders and throw me back into Magnus and Sebastian. They catch me before I hit the ground thankfully. If I smack into the ground one more time, I'm going to pass out. Jace stands there watching me with a heaving chest that is stained with blood. I didn't see Alec move but has Valentine pinned to the ground. My eyes are narrowed on Valentine and my thoughts are all the ways I can kill him right now. I'm not thinking, I'm just doing. Just like I told Jace before. I start to run forward to strangle him again but Jace grabs me before I can reach him. Jace is screaming my name over and over but I fight against his grip. Trying to get to Valentines throat.
"Clary! You're going to kill him!" I stop struggling and stand completely still, not thinking anything. Valentine is still pale in the face and gasping for air. I start to shake as Jace continues to call my name but I grab his hands and yank them off my shaking body. I turn and walk to Valentines car. I get in not knowing what I'm doing and lock all the doors. Jace bashes on the glass, telling me to unlock the door but I start the car and back out of the driveway. I put the car into drive but I can't will myself to push down onto the pedal. Instead I start to sob. Quietly at first but it turns into body racking sobs as I sit in an unmoving car in the middle of the road. Luckily it isn't as busy but there are still cars. They just honk and pass me. I hear Jace bang on the window but I'm crying too much to unlock the car. I nearly killed someone. I know it was Valentine and he deserves to die but I nearly killed him. I nearly murdered someone. Took their life away. I hear the shatter of glass as the passenger seat next to me gets rained on by razor sharp glass. A hand reaches in and opens the door from the inside. I hear Jace tell me that it's okay as he unlocks all the doors. He walks to the driver's side and opens it, only for my shaking body to fall into his shaking arms.
I hope you enjoyed that and it wasn't too short!
