They had portalled to the edge of the room close to the stage, near Alec and Magnus.

Alec looked at them in disbelief. But before he could say anything Clary said, "I know. Magnus, Alec cover us." They both gave a nod and followed Lucinda who stayed to the outskirts of the room. Luckily not attracting Sebastian's attention. She turned and stopped.

"Stay here. Let me talk to her. Don't argue. Stay. Thank you."

Lucinda gave them a smile and stepped forward.

"Maggie!" She called. That got both Sebastian and Maggies attention. Sebastian looked from her to Maggie in curiosity. He still hasn't seen Clary.

Maggies eyes returned to normally and she looked at Lucinda with a stunned expression.

"No! You can't be here! Please go now. It's too dangerous."

"Maggie please come with me. Leave all this behind. Stop before you get in more trouble please. I love you so much and I want you to come with me."

"I can't. I'm already in too deep. The power it enticed we. But I didn't know it would be like this. I - LUCINDA WATCH OUT!" She screamed.

Clary turned to see a forsaken coming toward Lucinda but it was too fast and she was too slow.

"LUCINDA!" Clary screamed and tried to get to her but she was too late. She stopped a few feet away from the her body. Maggie struck the demon in the chats and ran towards her. She collapsed over Lucindas body sobbing loudly. She had forgotten all about the force field. It was down. But now clary had revealed herself and Sebastian knew she was there.

She was to busy staring at Lucindas body, trying to hold back tears that she didn't realise that Sebastian had come up behind her. A hand wrapped itself around her and a knife came up to her neck.

"We always do meet in the worst situations," a voice whispered in her ear. He shuffled backwards, with her in front of him, a few feet to the crib. Clary looked down and saw Beth inside which set off her tears. There she was. She looked fine.

Sebastian shouted something - something in another language and the demons retreated. The shadowhunters looked to one another in confusion.

"PUT DOWN ALL YOUR WEAPONS OR I WILL KILL HER AND THEN THE LITTLE WOLF BABY." This gained everybody in the rooms attention.

Clary looked out at the crowd of shadowhunters as they slowly put down their weapons. She found Jace who had made his was to the front. He wore a worried expression.

"Don't do it! He's bluffing. He won't kill Beth her needs her." Clary shouted to the crowd.

"Did need her. I can easily take your baby from you. She will do just as nicely. It worked for Jace when he was a baby didn't it."

Clary gave out a loud sob and let loose another wave of tears.

Jace ran towards them but Sebastian stopped him.

"I swear I will do it. Don't move an inch closer Herondale or you will doom her and your baby.

Jace bared his teeth but stayed where he was.

"I will kill you as soon as I get the chance."

Sebastian gave a harsh laugh.

"Why? Why go to all this trouble to get to Beth then to only say you don't need her?" she burst out.

"Like I said I did need her. Her blood doesn't just contain that of a shadowhunters but she has downworlders blood to. Think of that. If there could be a new race of shadowhunters who had all the skills that we posses and the strength of a downworlder. Think how power they would posses. Her blood would have been perfect in the then you stumble into my path. I always knew we were destined for something greater. You and I Clary."

"But..how did you get the cup-" she asked.

"Same way I did last time. Copies can be made. You and Jace posses powers, you're stronger because you have more angel blood within you. This baby will to. But she will have more angel blood within her than both of you. Think about it. Think about the powers she will have. An easily controlled baby who will be one of the strongest shadowhunters to walk the earth. No I don't need Beth anymore because her blood is much more...valued. The only thing in my way is you. Look. Look at your friends, your family. All surrendering to me. They are powerless. You're powerless."

She looked out at everyone who was watching her with sad eyes. Isabelle was being held down by Alana who was giving a huge smirk.

She knew she had to get out of this. She had to save her friends somehow. Clary reached her hand down from where Sebastian was holding her. Her hand brushed the top of her knife. If she could just keep him talking she may be able to eventually reach it.

"You won't kill me. I've always been your weakness. You won't do it."

In response Sebastian pushed the knife in at her neck a little harder and Clary felt a sting and the trickle of blood then in a harsh whisper he said into her ear.

"Oh I know that. But I've learned from the past. I will not be stopped by the likes of you. I've got what I want now. And you will comply for the sake of your child. Of course when I am done with you I will despise of you. I've given you my heart many times Clarissa and you have turned from me. Well now I'm turning from you. So first I will kill everyone in this room if they do not comply. They can be escorted to cells where they will wait until they drink from the cup and fully join me or die. But of course your friends won't get the choice. They will all die in front of you. Then I will take you with me. You can sit in a cell until the baby is big enough. Then I will kill you and take the baby from your stomach. Just like father did."

Clary could felt a way of emotion: anger and pain.

She reached for her blade and pulled it from her pocket. Then with an almost growl she plunged it behind her into Sebastian's leg. Or at least she tried to - he dodged her attack but in doing so he let go of her and he backed away.

Sebastian stood facing her. He gave a laugh and slowly clapped his hands then he stopped and turned his head to where Jace had managed to get closer to the stage.

"Stay there Herondale. Or I swear..." He turned back to Clary.

"Really, it was a good try. But just not good enough."

Sebastian turned to face the audience - or rather to Maggie who still sat next to Lucindas body crying.

"Maggie. Could you come up here?"

Maggie looked him dead in the eye. "No. You killed her."

"I hardly killed her. I stood up here with you when she was attacked."

"They were your demons! She shouldn't have been here...what have I done. No. I won't help you anymore."

Sebastian's face turned grim.

"Fine, I will deal with you later."

His gave roamed over the crowd.

"Now for my first order of business. Seize the girls friends."

The fair folk who had been on the outskirts of the room came forward towards her friends. Clary was about to run to them when Sebastian added, "you fight and Clary is the one who pays. So I'd be careful about what you do."

One by one Simon, Isabelle, Alec, Magnus, Luke and Jace were brought to the front. Each of them were being held by a faerie knight. None of them resisted but they all wore expressions of sadness. Isabelle was crying.

Clary let out another round of tears.

"Please don't do this." Clary begged.

"You leave me with no choice. I wish I didn't have to but I do."

"No you don't please. Please I'm begging you."

She grabbed Sebastian's arm and he turned to her.

"Now you watch as they all die."

A surge of fear and adrenaline flowed through Clary.

"NOOOO!" She screamed and felt a ripple of power pass through her. Her head and body felt light and it was as if she had to different visions. Her vision was split. There was her own looking at her friends. And then there was another looking at her from down on the floor. With this second vision came emotions of hatred and bitterness and loneliness.

She then saw Sebastian sprawled on the floor, his head in his hands obviously in agony.

Clary realised then that this was what he had done to her. Only now she was in his head. She didn't know how she had done it. She had tried before to get into his head but it had never worked. She had never been powerful enough. But know she was.

She could see his thoughts, memories and feelings and it made her sick.

He gave a moan from down on the floor.

Whilst the faerie knights were distracted by what was happening to Sebastian, the gang took advantage and overpowered them. The easily took down the knights.

They ran towards Clary and Sebastian. But Clary held up her hand and said, "Luke go get Beth. "

He ran off to her crib whilst the others hovered near with their weapons ready.

"Please..." Sebastian said from down on the floor. Clary remembered the excruciating pain it had given her.

She could still see into his mind and it was draining her ever second.

She walked up to him and he rolled over to face her.

"You will never touch me of my family again. You're sick. Even for a demon. But you are never going to hurt anybody ever again."

He gritted his teeth and through the pain chokes out, "C-c-Clary..."

But he never got to finish. An arrow shot past Clary and buried itself into his chest.

Clary looked to where the arrow had come from. Another portal had opened and another group of shadowhunters had come through - Maryses back up. One of them had shot the arrow.

She let go of her hold on Sebastian's mind and backed up into a warm body. She turned and Jace envelopes her in a hug. She breathed in his scent and let out another cry.

He pulled back and held her face in his hands.

"Your okay," she cried.

"Me? I'm fine. What about you. You scared me...I thought I had lost you to him." He kissed her.

"Never," she answered.

"Are you okay? What about the baby?" Jace asked worriedly.

Clary placed a hand in her stomach. "I think we're good. Just a little dizzy."

Clarys head was spinning as she leant into Jace.

"Woah. Let's get you back to the Institute. Magnus needs to check you out."
