4. Chapter 4

Caps lock are Clary's thoughts

Clary's POV:

"What the hell Clary? Why are we out here?" I heard Jace exclaim from behind me. I rolled my eyes and continued to pull him away from Magnus' house. I led him down a dark alley way, the shadows creeping out from every corner and trying to get a grasp on whatever they could. Jace fell silent as we walked through it and I grinned. It was rumoured that the alley was haunted with the ghost of a girl that was murdered there. Murdered my ass! She slit her wrists, she was in the circle. I pulled Jace further down the alley until a shadow stepped out from leaning against the wall.

"Clary! Well done, you brought Jacey boy along," Sebastian smirked and my blood ran cold. Seb had said he would just ask Jace some questions but I thought something else might end up happening.

"Clary?" Jace asked as two of Seb's men came up from behind us.

"You can go Clary. I'll have these two drop him home later," Sebastian said and cracked his knuckles. NO! I shook my head. "Go Clary. It'll be worse for you," again I shook my head. Sebastian's men advanced on us and I drew my knives, holding one in each hand. "Clary we just want to ask him some questions," Sebastian said exasperatedly. I shook my head a third time. "Fine!" He spat. CRAP, SEBASTIAN'S ANGRY. SHIT SHIT SHIT!

"Jacey boy, what do you know about Clary?"

"Clary? You want to know... What I know about Clary?" Jace asked incredulously.

"Yes you stupid boy,"

"Well then," Jace grinned at me like he was about to start telling a story. "Clary doesn't speak, her parents are dead, she's pretty fit-" I cut him off with a jab to the ribs, "What? It's true!" OBJECTIFYING WOMEN. "Also I think she deals drugs," Jace stated confidently.

Jace's POV:

Shit! I just told Clary's boss that I knew what she did! Crap. I completely forgot. Also I did have some vodka before we left for Magnus'. I blinked and a punch was thrown at my stomach. I doubled over in pain and a knee came up to my face.

Clary's POV:

I tried to stop Sebastian's cronies beating up Jace but I was held back by Sebastian. Jace was lying on the floor, covered in blood. After one last kick he was still. I didn't know what to do so I screamed.

"JACE!"
