IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE AT THE BOTTOM.
Sorry I didn't update on Sunday. But I'm back now.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Mortal Instruments.
-Clary-
I wake up with a heavy arm draped over me. I try to wiggle out of the hold he has on me, but he stirs and his eyes fly open. "Good morning, beautiful." Sebastian tried to sound seductive, and I suppress a shudder.
"Good morning." I say, trying my best not to sound disgusted. He has to trust me if this is going to work. "How did you sleep?" I ask sweetly.
Sebastian ignores my question, and presents a question of his own. "Will you marry me?" I make a surprised noise, and search his face for something that says he's joking, but he looks entirely serious.
"I don't want to get married, Sebastian." I sit up, getting out of the bed, but he doesn't release his hold on my hand.
"Why not?" Sebastian sounds genuinely hurt. He is batshit fucking crazy.
"I'm 16." I say, simply. "We can't even legally get married." I almost add that I hate him, and I'm only here because I want to kill him, but I bite my tongue. I have to be good until I find a way to do it.
"Let's have a baby." Sebastian suggested. What the fuck is wrong with him? He kidnaps me, and now he wants to play family?
"I don't want to have a baby either, Sebastian." I try to keep my voice calm, and my expression blank. He can't know what I've planned for him.
"Come on." Sebastian says, pulling my arm. I fall roughly onto the bed, and he brings his lips to mine. The kiss is sickening. He tastes like cigarette smoke, and blue jolly ranchers just like he always has. The combination makes my stomach turn.
-Jace-
This can't be happening. She's gone. I pace, holding my phone to my ear. Clary's voice mail picks up. I don't leave a message. I've already left dozens, but she hasn't answered. I give up on getting a hold of her, and call Luke instead. "Officer Garroway." he says.
"Luke, it's Jace." I start. He starts to say something, but I cut him off. "Sebastian took Clary. She's in trouble, we have to find her."
"Her boyfriend?" Luke asks. Anger stirs inside of me, but I try to keep my cool.
"No. I'm her boyfriend. Sebastian is fucking insane, and he's been sexually assaulting her for over a year." A growl raises from my throat, along with unbelievably levels of anger and worry. Everyone is out looking for Clary, but none of us have any idea where to even start. All we know is Clary's phone number, and what kind of car Sebastian drives. We've been driving through neighborhoods, looking for his car without any luck. I know it's a shitty attempt, but it's all we can do. "Can't we trace her phone or something?" I plead.
"We can try it." Luke tells me to meet him at the station. All the way there I felt like I was folding into nothing. What if we can't find her? What if he's hurt her? I try to push the negative thoughts out of my mind, but they're relentless and won't keep away.
-Clary-
The day goes by agonizingly slow. I've looked around for a weapon I could use every chance I get, but I haven't had much luck. He left this afternoon for well over an hour, locking me in the house while he was gone. I looked everywhere for a gun, or a hatchet or anything I could use. The best I can do at this point is take a kitchen knife to his chest, and I'll do it. I'll use the knife, a broken pipe, my own two hands. I don't care. I want him dead.
I'd like to see his blood spill. He's made anger into something I can touch. For the last year Sebastian Verlac has done terrible things to me, and he pretends that we're in love or something. He's threatened my loved ones, and I want to see him pay for his actions.
I wish that Jace was with me. I miss his warm smile, and his honey colored eyes, but I just have to stay strong long enough to end this. No more of Sebastian's games. I'm tired of being afraid of him. I'm tired of knowing that Verlac is alive.
Sebastian ordered a pizza for dinner. He pushes me roughly onto the couch and sets the pizza on the coffee table in front of us. He flits through channels on the TV, turning on something that I tune out. A high pitched sound rips through the house. The doorbell.
Someone is here.
Okay, so I haven't decided what's going to happen yet. So, let's take a vote: Do you want Sebastian to (finally) die? If so, who should kill him? Clary is obviously planning to do it herself, but maybe it would be better if someone else did it? PM me or review with who you think should kill him, if you want him to die. It could be anyone in the story. Or I guess he could just go to jail.
Let me know. -IWriteNaked
