Ok chapter number 2 for tonight! I hope you enjoy and give me a review for feedback!
Clary stood in the middle of the hallway eyes foggy and unfocused, whilst Magnus stood in one of the nearby doorway signaling for Clary to make her move. With a deep breath she stepped forward.
"Jonathan!" Clary yelled. "I'm here, I surrender."
Almost moments later did a portal appeared in the hall in front of her and Jonathan step out of the blue blob that visualized before her. Jonathan was dressed head to toe in Shadow Hunter gear, and had blades sticking out of his boots and leather jacket. His eyes were completely black, that, appeared to Clary, to show happiness. He pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Sister, you have no idea how long I have waited for you to come to me willingly." Clary heard though she did not respond until he let go of her.
"I don't think I would have, but Magnus helped me see that this was for the best." Clary stated and Magnus emerged from his hiding spot.
"Just a sedative and suggestion spell, it will wear off in a few hours, but by that time I figure you will have what you want. The binding rune." Magnus stated raising one eyebrow.
Jonathan scoffed. "You called my bluff, yet you still helped convince my sister to come willingly to me, all for the cure. I didn't expect that you and Alec were that close for you to want to give up immortality."
"Yes, well love is what it is." Magnus stated with a sigh. He lifted up hand. "I would like that cure now." Jonathan smiled a devilish smile and reached into one of his inner pockets and pulled out a vial of gold liquid, but Jonatha pulled back before Magnus had it in his grasps.
"Single serving only mind you." Jonathan reminded Magnus and laid it in his hand. Magnus slipped it into his own purple jacket pocket and looked back at Clary, and she gave him a quick wink. "Come along sister, we have a lot of work to do."
"Wait!" Clary called out as Jonathan started pressing her forward. "I need you to promise that will let Jace come and stay with us if I come with you." Jonathan looked back at Magnus for an explanation, but he just shrugged his shoulders.
"Clary is still in love with him, and love and spells don't mix well. Trust me." Magnus stated with a smile starting to cross his lips.
Jonathan looked down at his sister, her green eyes looking up at his own black eyes for an answer. He sighed and rolled his eyes. "Fine."
"Thank you brother!" Clary squealed, and embraced him, carefully drawing the steel from her sleeve. "I promise I will stay with you and won't try and escape." Clary now had the steel all the way out and was about to press it into Jonathan's back, when a voice shouted from down that hall.
"Clary!" It was Jace. "Magnus, what the hell did you do to her?"
She only had a few seconds to take Jonathan out befor he would push Clary away, but unfortunately he figured it out faster than she did. Although she had already drawn one of her made up runes in the air behind Jonathan, she didn't have the chance to press it into his skin before wriggling out of her grasp and pushing her into it.
The rune burned into her stomach, and she fell backwards into someones arms. The world was starting to fade away from Clary, voices were indistinguishable and she knew that there was a chance she would never wake up from this, not if Magnus couldn't figure out a way to reverse her rune. Clary blacked out.
Jace was running as fast as his legs would carry him, when he heard voices not that far ahead of him. Faster, he willed himself and finally found them with the exception of Jonathan Morgenstern holding Clary, and Magnus standing Idly by.
"Clary!" Jace screamed as he approached, and Clary turned slightly to see Jace, but did not leave Jonathan's embrace. "Magnus, what the hell did you do to her?"
Magnus grabbed Jace and held him back from Clary and Jonathan. "Idiot, you're going to ruin everything." This only made Jace struggle harder from Magnus, but it was too late.
Jonathan broke free from Clary and shoved her forward after he had sidestepped Clary. She froze, and started to fall backwards as Jonathan returned through the portal. Jace escaped Magnus's arms and caught Clary before she could fall to the ground but found a unique rune burnt into her skin on her stomach.
"Magnus, what does this rune do?" Jace asked, his voice barely above a whisper. By this time Isabelle and Alec had caught up to Jace, but he was only listening to what Magnus had to say.
"You're lucky Clary wanted a humane way to take care of her brother." Magnus stated kneeling down next to Jace. "her rune is designed to keep the user in a coma like state indefinitely, unless you have a way to break the rune, but only Clary knew that part."
"So how are we going to get the rune off?"
"I can help with that." A voice replied from behind Magnus. Jace looked up and saw Tessa standing to his left. "Its part of my ability, but we should move her to the infirmary, just in case."
"Why what are you going to do?" Jace asked, looking back at Clary. her face was peacefully at rest, but Jace still felt guilty.
"Just trust me. I know what I'm doing." Tessa replied and ordered Jace to carry Clary to the infirmary. Alec and Isabelle fell into step in behind Magnus and Tessa, and on the way to the infirmary Jace explained who Tessa was in relationship to himself.
"So she is half demon half shadowhunter?" Isabelle asked "I thought that was impossible?"
"It is if the shadowhunter has had runes, but her mother didn't have any." Magnus supplied turning over his shoulder. "I'll let Tessa explain more later."
Jace carefully laid Clary down on one of the empty cots and watched Tessa carefully walk over to Clary and take a deep breath before taking hold of her hand and closing her eyes. Tessa's body morphed into Clary, and Jace sucked in a hard breath of air. He had never seen anything like this before and wasn't sure how to respond.
"Tessa can you tell me anything?" Magnus asked Tessa-Clary. She nodded her head, but then suddenly doubled over in pain.
"There is someone else in her head." Tessa shuddered and let go of Clary and resumed her own form before falling into a chair beside Clary's bed.
"What did you see?" Magnus pressed, and Tessa lifted her head up slowly.
"Part of a rune, but there is more to it than that." Tessa explained. "I can try again, but I think Jonathan is doing something to Clary, I just have no idea how."
Jace looked back to Clary; she was grimacing and her fist were clenched tightly. Worry was seeping into her expression and she began to vigorously shake her head.
"No. stay away!" Clary screamed, and Jace bolted to her side na took her hand.
"Who is there, Clary tell me what's wrong?" Jace pleaded, but her voice faded.
"Um...Jace?" Alec's voice asked. "Who are you talking to?"
"Didn't you hear Clary just now?" Jace turned and looked at Magnus, Isabelle, and Alec, but they shook their heads. "She was telling something to stay away."
Magnus looked Clary over and then turned to Jace with a sly smile. "Clary thinks quick on her feet."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that Clary made the rune with a link to someone, that someone being you." Magnus smirked. "We may just get Clary out of this after all."
