I looked around desperately and saw my hands where shackled again. This Is Where valentine and Jonathan where held. I wasn't on the bed or in the chair I was against one wall. I heard the door open and I looked up..Alec walked inside. I scrambled back to try and get away from him but I stopped as soon as I felt my wings flare up in pain I stopped.
"Jace please relax. It's just me." He said walking over slowly.
"How can I trust you?!" I snarled back and trying to get away from him.
"Hear me out." He said and he sat down opposite me. I stayed silent.
"The thorns Clary and izzy where stabbed with where laced with a Faital poison, the Clave had the antidote but wouldn't give it to them if I didn't hand you over." He started I looked up at him, I knew he did the right thing.
"They are back to normal now, but I am so sorry. I had to." He explained meeting my eyes. I nodded.
"You did the right thing." He looked up at my eyes and smiled. I smiled back and we shook hands.
"Okay now explain how am I Here?" I asked.
"There was a massive uprising from every shadowhunter and every downwarlder alive. They where made that you where locked up for something you didn't even have any control over and that you weren't given a fair trial…The Clave disobeyed the laws they have been arrested and are being trailed tomorrow. So we busted into your prison everyone of the guards where on board with it, we got you out but before we could two of the guards grabbed hold of you and tried to cut off your wings they failed but ended up breaking both of your wings. We had to lock you up before we treated you, to make sure they did nothing horrible to you." Alec explained it all I listened and tried to take it all in.
"And did they?." I asked smiling he shook his head and smiled back.
"No they didn't." He replied.
"But now you are awake and we tested that there is nothing wrong we need to treat you, so come on let's get you out of here." Alec said standing up, he walked over and unlocked my shackles. He took one of my arms and helped me to my feet. I felt weak and sick as soon as I stood. We tried walking but I felt like I was going to pass out.
"Here." Alec said and scooped me up with out hurting my wings. I let him carry me though the institute and down into the infirmary.
"He's good, fix up his cuts and I can do the wings." He said as he gently laid me on my front. I felt doctors frantically working on my wings. I saw Alec walking away and I didn't want him to I need him to be here right now.
"Alec!" I called out it sounded like a strangled cry he immediately turned around and ran back to my side.
"Don't leave me please." I whimpered. "It's okay I am here." He said quitely and grabbed hold of my hand. I didn't let go until they where finished the pain was extremely painful.
"Okay Jace I have to start my part but someone is here to see you." He got up and let go of my hand and moved around to my back. But someone else entered the room, Clary. she looked so worried and scared.
"Jace." She ran over hand I leaned up as much as I could, she kissed my lips gently. I pulled away when Alec started strapping up my wings, I winced and lay back down. She sat down in the chair Alec had just left. I took hold of her hand and held it every time Alec moved one of my wings I whimpered and she comforted me. I felt like I was sweating I felt weak and sick. I just wanted it to go away. I felt Alec tighten the straps and I cried out.
"Sorry." He said quickly. "I need you to sit up so I can bandage them." He added, I pushed my self up and His strong arms help me sit up, Clary got up and let me lean my head into her shoulder. I felt Alec raping bandages around my wings then tightening them to my chest.
"Your all set." Alec said and walked of to do something. I let Clary blow on my neck to cool my down. I looked around to see Alec holding about 50 pillows he pilled them up against the headboard.
"You can lie on you back now." He said I nodded and lay back on the mountain of pillows, at first I hurt which caused me to wince but eventually I sank into them.
"Thanks Alec." I murmured.
"Nope problem Jace." He replied and I felt him squeeze my shoulder. I smiled weakly back up at him then felt someone taking my hand, I turned my hand and it was Clary, she stood up and sat down beside me on the bed. Alec sensed he should go and quickly made and excuse and left. But before he did he put up curtains so we could have privacy.
"I'm so glad your okay." Clary whispered putting her forehead on mine.
"When I saw you hanging in the air, god. I screamed." She said taking her forehead away and looking into my eyes. I saw the tears in her eyes, instinctively my hand went up and stroked my hand gently along her cheek.
"I'm okay now." I replied and pulled her close, her soft lips met mine and I felt her passion I returned it, but pulled away when I felt weak again. I fell into a blissful sleep.
3 hours later…
I woke up slowly and instantly was on high alert. I looked around and then remembered everything that happened. I looked down and noticed Clary, she was lying her head on my chest still in all her clothes. I smiled she was so beautiful when she was sleeping. The curtains where drawn closed and a small lamp sat on the side table. I smiled and rested my head back against the pillows. I was about to go to sleep again but someone came though the curtains, I looked up it was Izzy. She gasped and smiled, she ran over to the other side of the bed which was empty. She flung her arms around my neck and I hugged her back with one arm. Her black hair tickled my chest and I smiled, she pulled away and smiled back.
"Thank god your back. Alec was going crazy as was Clary when we found out about…..you know…. The trade. What they did to you made every Shadowhunter and downwarlder so angry." She said and sat down in a chair.
"Hold on how did they all know?" I asked a little confused.
"Oh god they haven't told you." Izzy said looking uneasy.
"Haven't told me what?" I asked. She took a deep breath then spoke.
"Yesterday on every electronic device in the whole of the shadow world saw this video." She explained then took out her phone and clicked a few buttons then handed me the phone. I watched as a light filled the black screen, I could someone hanging by there arms…. It was me. My wings where stretched out to their full length. A man came onto the screen, he was unmistakably the leader of the Clave.
"Jace Herondale, has committed treason against the Clave at such a high sentence that he must be taught his lesson. This video is to show you what will happen to those who commit treason as high as this." He said formally then walked away. Two men big and strong raised them selves up on platforms so they where both right by my wings, the pulled out sharp knifes and started slashing at my wings. Blood fell to the ground. The started trying to cut of my wings when that didn't work they both got these massive hammers and then smashed them down several times against my wings. I winced and felt the pain. I was losing so much blood. Then the video ended suddenly. I put Izzy's phone back and I felt mad and frustrated, The Clave wanted my own family to watch me die slowly.
"Everyone was in uproar, so Alec decided we where going to break in and get you back….it worked and here you are. Everyone and I mean every vampire during the night werewolves during the day They are all guarding this place, we didn't ask them to they wanted to. Every seelie has put up plant defences and traps everywhere for any Clave members . Every warlock has put up walls to stop them getting though." She explained, I was touched.
"Why are they all doing this for me?" I asked confused.
"Because Jace, you saved them, you protected them and you would give your life for them." She said which was all true. She was about to speak again when Alec came though the curtains.
"Big news, The four main Clave members so the main leader, leaders right hand man, head of fighting and combat and head of runes, have been sentenced to life imprisonment…."
