Clary waited for the pain, But she never felt it. When she finally opened her eyes, she saw Valentine staring at the lying figure, bleeding to death on the floor in front of him. It took a couple moments for her mind to process that it was Jonathan, her brother, lying there on the ground moments away from leaving her forever.

His green eyes were still open to look at her and Jace.

" I'm sorry. I love yo-"

He didn't finish his last sentence. He coughed his last cough, blood coming from his mouth, and closed his eyes for the last time.

" Clary, let's go." Jace said quietly taking her by the hand.

they ran out of the room, but not before hearing Valentine's loud, horrific cries.

They ran out of the building, just in time to see five police cars and an ambulance pull into the Wear house parking. The police officers gave them a quick look before rushing into the building.

Clary turned to face Her golden boy, and sobbed into his chest. He put his arms around her and held her tight.

The rest of the night was a blur. Clary sobbed again when she saw two officers carrying Jonathan's body out of the building, but she still caught a glimpse of red as a second body was carried out after her bother's.

" mom?" she said out loud already running toward the officers who were now lowering her mother on to a gurney.

" mom!" She ran up to the bed, and saw her mother for the first time in weeks. She was bruised up and scraped. At first she thought she'd lost her, But upon further examination, Clary saw she was still breathing. She hugged her, and kissed her forehead, before the cops came and told her that her mother had to be sent to the hospital right away, or she wouldn't survive.

Jace sat with her on the ride to the hospital, And held her hand up until the moment they took her away to be examined for injuries.

They were both questioned and given food, before Clary was finally aloud to see her mother. When she walked into her room, she had just woken up. She sat up in her bed, looking lost and confused. there was a bandage on her head and a cast on her arm, but it was her.

Clary ran up to her mother, and hugged her. She told her she missed her and that she loved her before finally looking at her face, expecting an answer, expecting relief, expecting love in her eyes, but instead they were blank.

" mom?" she asked tears running down her face.

The blank expression didn't leave Jocelyn's face. After a few agonizing moments, she finally answered her.

" I'm sorry, but don't know who you are." she then turned to her doctor.

" Is my husband here? I'm sure he's worried sick."

Clary was stunned. Her mother didn't know who she was. She had looked right at her, right into her eyes. Her mother had simply forgotten her.
