Clary's POV

The world had never seemed as dull as it did when Clary's view of the clear blue sky and cherry trees faded into the cracked stone ceiling of her basement prison. Not only had she failed in killing herself, and ridding herself of all the pain and suffering that Sebastian had created, she had also envisioned her worst nightmare; Jace being punished for her own weak and cowardly actions.

In the moments Clary had been unconscious in what she expected to be a calm and peaceful abyss, she had instead envisioned Jace, lying on his grand bed, writhing in the sheets, face contorted in pain and abdomen growing an angry welt. The logical part of her wanted to believe it was her blood loss and trauma causing hallucinations, however deep down Clary felt as if her own actions had been reflected in Jace's life.

While debating these ideas swirling in her head, Sebastian placed her in an almost delicate manner on the bed that had started thus all. The first time Sebastian raped her, the countless nights alone and shivering and most recently, her suicide attempt.

"I'm so disappointed in you Clary, how could you be so careless for the effects of your actions on me! Do you know how terrifying it was for me to come down and see you, practically dead, impaled on the same bed we make love in!" Sebastian is practically yelling, face white with the effort to restrain himself.

"I'm sure it was nothing compared to the pain and suffering Jace went through after you kidnapped me! And yet you had no care for the impacts on him!" Clary spits hoarsely back at him, too weak to stand up and look him in the eye as she rebels against him.

"How dare you bring him up after I've specifically warned you not to!" Sebastian growls, prowling towards the bed with a menacing look in his black eyes. "I hope you realize that your little stunt back there is about to cause your Lover boys demise in ohh-" he glances at the watch in his pocket, "I'd say about two hours". Laughing darkly, Sebastian begins to ascend the stairs to the house.

"Wait! What do you mean his demise? And two hours? Is he coming here?" Clary cries out, the mere thought that Jase was on his way made her heart swell with hope, despite Sebastian's obvious threat.

"I really did believe you were more clever than this Clary. I'm quite disappointed. However, I know that Jace knows exactly what's happening, albeit a bit too soon for my liking, but anytime is a good time to finally end his rivalry against me." Now his voice holds an air of arrogance and conviction, almost enough to convince Clary that he could end Jace before the day is done.

"Well I guess all we have left to do is wait, so goodnight for now little sister."

Jace's POV

For some reason, Magnus can't portal our group the the little house in the countryside that Clary is currently being held captive, though I'm sure it was explained when I was tuning out the conversation. The house was supposedly three hours from the Institute and after portaling the closest we could to the location we still have about an hour left by foot until I can save my love.

"What do you think they've been doing since they've been there? I can't imagine how Clary feels right now." Izzy says to fill the silence that's fallen since we started the trek through the countryside.

"Well I'm going to take a wild guess and say its been pretting traumatizing and violent considering the goddamn stab wound she appeared to have, Iz." Jace says snarkily, hating to truly think about all the horrible things Sebastian has always wanted to do to her, the thought making him shudder in fear and disgust.

"Why don't we stop speculating and come up with a real plan for when we show up to this house, surely we can't just break down a door and steal Clary from her prison." Alec speaks up from his position in the back of the group with Magnus.

"Well, well, well if it isn't lover boy and his ragtag group of friends. Pleased to see you again." Sebastian's voice piped up from the shadows directly in front of the group before he fully emerges.
