Hey guys. Here is the latest chapter, let me know what you think xxx
As Alec and Jace looked through the door way they saw Joclyn lying on the floor with blood standing her t-shirt. Jacob was leaning over the top of her. Jace sprung across the room and pounced on Jacob. Jace grabbed hold on Clary's Uncle and threw him against the wall. Alec rushed to Joclyn's side and pulled her up of the floor. "It's not my blood Alec. He has Issabelle and Your mum in a room somewhere, their unconscious." as she spoke she could see the rage boiling up in his eyes. "Go find them and get out of here. Ring my phone when your all safe." Alec demanded. Joclyn shook her head and spoke. "No I need my daughter-" Alec quickly interrupted her. "No Joclyn your not safe here, get the others and leave! I swear on my life that I will bring Clary home." Joclyn stared at Alec. "Go Joclyn and don't look back just keep going if we aren't out in a few hours contact the clave." Without another word Joclyn blade up off the floor and left.
As Jacobs back hit the wall he sniggered at Jace. he spun them around and slammed Jace's head against the wall making tears linger in the back of his eyes. "My brother was right about you, you're a weak little boy!" Jace tensed under Jacobs hold on him. He forced back the tears he knew if her let himself feel all the emotions inside him he would never be able to put one foot in front of another again. Jacob gripped Jace's throat lifting his feet so he was no longer touching the ground. Jace's mouth drained of all its moisture leaving him gasping for air. Alec quickly darted across the room wrapping his serph blade around Jace's neck. "let go of my brother or I will slit your throat." Alec whispered. Jacobs hand eased from Jace lowering him back to the floor.
Jacob let out a slow mucky laugh. "You can't kill me if you do you will never find my darling niece!" Alec wrapped Jacobs arm around his back with the serph blade firmly against his neck. Jace regained his footing and drew a blade out of his belt. pointing it at Jacobs heart. "You are even worse than valentine, Id hand you to the clave but you don't deserve to even live that long." Jace shouted. A grin slid across Jacobs face. He didn't speak but he spat in Jace's face causing Jace's blood to boil. Jace gripped the blades handle tightly and drew it across Jacobs Chest. Blood seeped through his clothing outlining the cut. Panic swiped across Jacobs face but he quickly masked it with a stern cold expression. Alec pulled him backwards and towards the door. "Walk!" Alec demanded maintaining his position of the serph blade. Jace moved in front of Jacob ensuring that he could get away. "Show us where Clary is." Jace shouted. Jacob nodded his head, "As you wish"
The back of Alec's mind was screaming with warning signals, How could this be so easy? he thought. As Alec suspected things where about to change putting everyone's lives at risk.

Once separating from Jace and Alec, Joclyn burst back on to the corridor. She looked around not knowing where to turn. she darted down the corridor looking for any signs of noise or light. Joclyn burst 4 doors open but they each revealed empty rooms. Joclyn was beginning to wonder how she was supposed to possibly find them, when she remembered she had one of the lightwood daggers strapped to her belt. She pulled out her stele and drew a tracking rune on her wrist as she gripped the dagger in her hand. She so desperately wanted the rune to work so much that she had not realised how tightly she was holding the dagger. As the rune worked its magic Joclyn looked down at her hand to see a thin trickle of blood dripping on to the floor. Joclyn closed her eyes and allowed the rune to guide her mind revealing the location of the others. As she opened her eyes the room at the end of the corridor was the only thing she could see.
Joclyn ran up to the door rattling its handle, the door wouldn't open. she banged on the door as loudly as she could "Maryce! Issabelle!" she screamed hearing only a quiet muffled sound in reply "J-J-Joclyn?" said a panicked voice. "I'm here, you will be alright, is the door locked from the inside?" she asked. The small voice spoke once again. "No I don't think so. I can't wake mum up Joclyn. She's not moving." The voice was Issabelle, she sat on the cold stone floor shaking her mother's lifeless body. Joclyn pushed the door as hard as she could but it had no effect." Issabelle I'm going to have to use a unlocking rune, draw some itrazes on your mother." she shouted. "I can't I don't have a stele or any weapons." Issabelle shouted "Hold On Issabelle!" Joclyn burst the door open to revel Maryce's body motionless and Issabelle frantically calling her mother's name.
Joclyn darted to Issabelle's side and threw a stele to her. "Draw Issabelle, quickly." the two shadowhunters drew runes of health, strength and angelic power eventually Maryce's eyes fluttered open. "Issabelle?" she asked her voice was hazy. "Mum! You will be alright, come on sit up we need to move." together Issabelle and Joclyn pulled Maryce on to her feet. Issabelle wrapped her arms around her mother but as she did her mother flinched away from her.
Pain shot down Maryce's back bring tears to her eyes. Joclyn moved and pulled off Maryce's jacket. "It's a demon bite, and a bad one. we need to get to the institute" Maryce shook her head "No we need Clary." she protested. Joclyn gripped her arm. "Maryce we need to go with a bite like that you won't be on your feet for long. The boys have Jacob. they are going for Clary now.". With a nod of approval the girls moved back on to the corridor and squeezed into the elevator.

"Next room on the left" Jacob snapped. "I don't trust you!" Alec declared. Jace slowly kicked the door open. As he did Jacob tried to pull away from Alec, but he was weak. the puncture wound on his side was still bleeding and the slash across his chest had turned his clothing blood read. As the door opened a ragnor demon pounced out of the room straight towards Jace. But before the demon made contact with him Jace had whipped out his serph blade and drove it through the demons chest. Once the demon turned to ash, Jace Grabbed the door handle and slammed the door shut. Jace rose his blade and pressed it into the gash he had previously made on Jacobs chest, twisting the blade as it sank into Jacobs chest."Now i really hate getting blood on my clothes or in my hair so if you don't want me to kill you on the spot tell me where Clary is" Jace demanded. Jacobs face twitched with pain, Jace pressed the blade another cm into Jacobs chest only missing his heart by millimetres. "Last door on the right" Jacob squealed. "The one with the gold handle."
Jace drew back his blade leaving Jacob gasping for breath. He headed down the corridor. Jace swung the door open and what he saw give him hope. "Clary!" he called. as he stepped through the door. Alec quickly followed but what the shadowhunters didn't know was that there was a glamour within the door frame making it appear as if they were going into Clarys room, but in reality they were actually stepping into what appeared to be a store room.
"YOU SON OF A B***H" Jace screamed. "Where is Clary?" Jacob didn't reply instead he lifted his right leg and booted a large black canister on to the floor, As it hit the ground a black liquid poured out onto the Floor. Jacob began to chant a spell and as he spoke the liquid moved around the room leading straight to Jace's and Alec's feet. Before they could move Jacob pulled a lighter out of his pocket and dropped it to the floor igniting the liquid in to flames.
