"Clary? Clary is that you?" Jace came running down the face looking rather cross. "I can't believe you! Are you out of your mind?" Then he stopped. First his eyes locked onto his parabatai. "Alec?" he turned and looked around the room. "Issy! Mom! Is this real?" he ran down the stairs and wrapped his arms around his brother. Then Jace moved to his sister and his adoptive mother.
Across the living room Clary and Joclyn had sat down on the sofa and Simon was sat between them with his head buried in his arms. Clary rubbed his back "It's alright Simon, we all did what we had to do." She whispered. Simon was a mess he hated that he had killed someone, a man who he never knew. Maybe he deserved it or maybe he was just obeying orders but either way that man's death blood was on Simons hands. (Well technically his mouth.)
After making sure his family where okay Jace dashed to Clary side, he pulled her up off the couch and swept her up into his arms. She clung onto him not wanting to let go. It was all hitting her now, she could have died. Her family could have died yet here they all were standing under the same roof. "I'm so cross with you Clary. You shouldn't have gone their alone." He said holding her tightly, his arms where trembling. "I had to Jace. I didn't have a choice. I'm so sorry" she whispered. They broke apart and turned to face their family. Alec, Issabelle and Maryce came into the center of the room Alec and Issabelle dragged overcome dining chairs and Maryce joined Joclyn and Simon on the sofa.
Maryce was the first to speak "How have you been here? How's George?" Clary smiled at her mother in law, "He's okay but he's changed." She glanced at Jace and bit her lip. "Where not alone in this house and I don't mean just because you're here. There's someone else." She paused trying to find her words how could she explain that there's ghost's living with them. Joclyn looked baffled "Who? Surly there shouldn't be anyone else living here?" she questioned. Clary quickly stopped her. "No I don't mean like that. I mean people who aren't exactly alive…"
Maryce inhaled a large gasp. "Cassandra!" Clary turned and stared in shock. "Wait what? You know what I'm talking about?" she asked. Maryce stared at Clary "I do. When I was little I saw her, Cassandra she always told me to never let this house go to anyone. Other than my family she told me I had to remember the house and that one day it would save us. I always thought I'd dreamt it. My mother never saw anything she thought I had an imaginary friend. I forgot about it until the day you texted Alec and you had to leave, that's when I remembered." Clary stared at Maryce. Unsure quiet what to say she looked at Jace who took hold of her hand.
"Cassandra told Clary something that made her unique." Jace squeezed her hand "Cassandra wasn't human or shadowhunter, she was an angel." Multiple gasps echoed around the room. Simons jaw dropped "An angel? A real Angel? I presume most shadowhunter's have never seen an Angel yet you and Clary have seen how many, three? Surely you most attract them somehow. I don't know like a perfume or something?" Jace shot Simon a glare making him instantly stop talking. Then Jace carried on. "She came to earth to watch over the other shadowhunter's but ended up getting married and having a son with a shadowhunter." He glanced at clary and squeezed her hand. She had tears in her eyes but couldn't quiet put her feeling into words. "Because she was a hundred percent angel and her husband was half angel, half human their son Oliver was practically three quarters Angel." Clary cut in and continued the story. "Because Oliver had such pure Angel blood he had these powers… that weren't just like ordinary shadowhunter abilities." Clary looked towards the blank faces staring at her. She took a deep breath "when Oliver used these powers his body glowed red." Joclyn looked at her shaking her head "I don't understand. What has this got to do with George?" she asked. Jace looked at her "That's where things really start to get interesting."
"When-when I died, When Valentine killed me. The human part of me died…forever." Jace's voice was cold, he found this difficult to talk about dying and coming back to life definitely wasn't an everyday situation. "when the angel brought me back he transferred some of his life source into me meaning, I am no longer human, in any way."
The room fell silent for a moment until Simon spoke again "Are you serious? So you're not only a demon hunting badass you're a freaking angel too? Clary you really know how to pick em don't you." Clary let herself smile at her best friend Simon could turn the most serious situations into something to smile about. However, although the comment made Clary laughed Joclyn wasn't quite so amused "Can we get back to my grandson please!" she snapped. Simons eyes grew wide and Clary had to swallow her laughter.
Jace continued to speak "So like Oliver, George also has some powers". Alec looked at his parbatia "What kind of powers?" He asked. Clary quickly answered "He healed me. I picked up a picture I found in the nursery. It showed me a vision. I must have fallen and blacked out because when I woke my arm was black and blue, it was broken. But George took hold of it and his body glowed red and he just... just fixed it. The bruises disappeared and so did the pain." The room fell into silence. It wasn't an easy situation to explain or understand.
A cry echoed from upstairs. George had woken up it was now almost midnight and he was usually sound asleep but Clary got the feeling that George knew that something had happened. "He has screamed for hours he just settled before you came home." Jace said. Clary knew he was annoyed with her for going alone. She looked towards the table where she had left the letters Jace must have read them, her heart ached slightly. She didn't want to dwell upon what could have happened. That didn't matter now. All that mattered was that her family where here and they were all safe... at least for now.
Clary rose to her feet and walked upstairs into the nursery. George was sat in the middle of his bed, crying his eyes locked onto his mum and they lit up with joy. "MAMA! MAMA!" he screamed. He stood on his bed and clary pulled him into her arms. "Mama home." George snuggled into his mother holding her tighter than he ever had before, as if his life depended on it. Clary smiled "Mummy has a surprise for you baby. Let's go down stairs." She carried him down stairs and stepped into the living room.
George looked around the room and saw a set of smiling faces looking straight towards him. he was speechless. George wriggled out of his mother's arms as she lowered him to the floor. He ran in to the middle of the room and jumped up and down unsure who to run to first. Issabelle had tears in her eyes. She opened her arms and her nephew ran into them. Maryce and Joclyn began sobbing, whilst locked up in the institute they thought they would never be able to see their family again and to be here all under the same roof seemed like a dream come true.
"Has there been any talk of an investigation? Into the clave after what they did?" Jace asked. The others all put their head down not wanting to speak. They all doubted anyone even knew about what had happened let alone do anything to question the claves decisions. Jace didn't know the conditions they had been kept in and someone had to tell him.
Alec decided to explain everything. "Look at us Jace. We are wearing the same clothes we were wearing the day you left… a few minutes after the portal closed the Clave burst into the room. We didn't fight. We knew there was no point they would just keep sending more men at us. They locked us up, chained us to the floor in different rooms. This is the first time we've seen each other since you left. Where Clary found me I really thought I was hallucinating or dreaming until she hugged me. That's the first time I had any contact with anyone and that's when I knew it was real." Clary walked over to Alec and hugged him again. He kissed her cheek and squeezed her tightly "Thank you" he whispered. As they broke a part Alec continued "As we found they others we went for Simon last. He was in a bad way drained of blood. The 3 people came in 2 members of the clave and Robert" Alec's voice was cold. Jace looked confused "You mean your farther?" he asked. Alec nodded but didn't show any sign of emotion. "We managed to kill the two men. Then Robert was just left. He had no intention of helping us, he didn't care if we were killed or not. It was as if we were never family. When it came down to it I knew what I had to do. So I did it."
Jace looked baffled unsure if what he was hearing was true. "You did what Alec?" Alec looked his brother straight in the eye, without an inch of regret "I Killed him."
