A/N : This is the very first fanfic I've ever published and I hope you enjoy it. I really appreciate any reviews from You. :)
I don't own any characters in this story. They belong to Cassandra Clare. Though I hope someday I could have ones like Jace and Jonathan.
Part Two – He comes
Blaaarrrr!
It felt like I just closed my eyes a minute ago, then some loud noise went through my ears, tearing apart my peaceful sleep.
I woke up in a second. Made a hop till now I was standing next to my bed. Beside me, Jace had jumped before me with a grace that he owned as an angel descendant.
"What's that?!" I asked. I could feel my adrenalin rushed in my veins. Wiped away all my sleepiness.
"I don't know," he ran toward the door, "Better you change your clothes. I had a bad feeling."
I bursted into my closet. Right at that moment, my bedroom door opened and Isabelle stormed in, even before Jace could reach the door.
"He's coming!" she yelled loudly, "We have to.. Oh, now I see why I couldn't find you in the infirmary."
We didn't need to confirm who's coming. Jace ignored Isabelle's comment and bursted out of my room, "Where is he?"
"The tower's top," Isabelle spun to look at Jace who'd gone after yelled.
"Stay with Clary!"
I felt something was teared from me when I saw Jace rushed away. I knew it sounded so weak, but I had a very bad feeling too. I hated it when I couldn't stand by Jace in a battle.
Isabelle turned to me, right when I finished buttoning my emerald green coat. We had no time to change into a battle clothes. Isabelle herself was just dressed in a long black coat and her boots. I bet she just wore her pajamas under that coat.
The next second, it was Alec turn to stormed into my room. He threw some seraph blades toward me.
"Uriel, Raguel, and Gabriel."
He said the names of that three seraph blades as he threw it one by one. Then he turned back and gone in a second without saying anything else.
"Wow," Isabelle blinked, "He's just threw Gabriel to you."
"Let's hope that Alec doesn't be exposed to heavenly wrath," I said as I ran to the door. Isabelle followed behind me, "I think we still need him."
I kept Uriel and Samariel under my coat and grabbed Gabriel tightly in my hand. Ready to face whatever came to us.
In a halfway we met Aline and Helen.
"So, this is the time, isn't it?" a flash smile went through Aline's lips. Her hair, which now cut so short, moved slowly as we ran.
"Yeah," Isabelle smirked. Her black coat flapped behind her. She had her straight black hair done as a ponytail that bounced in a rhyme with her steps, "He'd said that, didn't he? It seems that the Morgensterns always keep their promises."
I decided not to give an attention to Isabelle's teasing, and asked.
"I heard loud noises, what was that?"
Helen was the one who answered my question.
"Jonathan Morgenstern came into The Institute by breaking through the glasshouse's roof."
My stomach sank as I remembered the scene when I was with Jace in that glasshouse.
"But, how come?" I asked, clenched my teeth as we veered in the alley. There were more shadowhunter joined us. Indeed, after the letter from sebastian arrived, a lot of shadowhunters came to New York Institute from around the world.
"I thought they're whom possessed by demonic elements can't come in to this building. The barrier should have turned him down due to his demon blood."
"About that," Aline slipped between two adult shadowhunters so she could keep running beside us, "I can't make sure of it yet. Indeed, they whom been cursed should have never be able to take a step inside the institute. Maybe it's because he's still a part of shadowhunters."
Cursed.
That words seemed doesn't fit Sebastian.
Of course, Little Sister. I'm not cursed. I'm the curse.
The mocking voice of Sebastian sounded in my head again. I didn't know how I could imagine him so clearly. This fact made me feel disgust about myself.
You don't imagine me. I'm here.
I gasped. I stopped in a second, making one of the shadowhunter behind me almost hit me.
"What are you doing? Move on!" Isabelle hissed. She pull me so I had no choice but kept running.
I decided not to tell her about what I'd just heard. I didn't want to admit that I'd just heard Jonathan Morgenstern spoke inside my head. It was something that you didn't want to happen to you, wasn't it?
I could feel chill went through my body, but I continued running with the other shadowhunters till we reach the glasshouse on the top of the tower. This room had already full with the shadowhunters. Some were ready in the battle clothes, the others were just like me, wore a coat to cover their sleeping outfit. The Shadowhunters made a crowd till I hardly found Jace. Instead of finding Jace, I saw him.
There, in the stairs where I and Jace kissed for the first time, Sebastian Verlac stood. As real as he was in my dream. As dangerous also. The wind rushed from the hole he made in the roof, blowing the strands of his white blonde hair. His eyes that looked like a dark tunnel shone in scary excitement. His fine white skin glowed beneath the moonlight, decorated with runes. I could see it clearly from where I stood. Strength, speed, and agility.
It seemed that this demon still blessed by the sign of the angel.
But I know, there's another marks in his body.
The scars made by Valentine. Crossed one another in his back.
I remembered the feeling when I touched them. Felt like it just yesterday. I asked him if that scars hurt him.
All the time.
I felt a twist in my stomach as I reminded how Valentine had raised Jonathan and how Jonathan still followed his footsteps, encouraged all his action.
"I Come in peace," he shouted, but even three-years-old kid knows that he's lying. An evil smirk adorned his face, "I can see you've already set a welcome party for me."
"What do you want this time, Jonathan?"
I tiptoed and found Maryse Lightwood was the one who's speaking. She stood in the front line. It made sense, she was the head of the New York institute.
"What I want?" Sebastian chuckled, "You are asking me what I want, Maryse? Are you planning about giving me what I want?"
I saw Maryse made a fists. Next to her, Jace and Alec did the same thing.
"If you want to meet your mother in hell, then I'll grant it with pleasure."
I heard hatred in Jace's voice, determination, and also a tease. It seemed like I could see the heavenly fire all over his body.
"Ah," Sebastian glanced at Jace before looked back at Maryse, "I think I like the other You more than this. You know, You who'd been bound to me."
A moment. Sebastian just glanced at Jace for a moment, but I could see the void in his eyes.
Could it be? Does Sebastian really care about Jace? Jace who's his friend, I mean. Not my Jace.
"You have to," answered Jace with laugh of satisfaction, "Everybody loves dreams more than reality."
Sebastian didn't response. He scanned the room with his eyes, observing all the shadowhunter one by one before his eyes stopped at my face, and he smiled.
"I come to take you," he said straight at me, "Come with me."
"Wha.." Jace opened his mouth once again. Thinking Sebastian was still talking to him, but before he finished his words, he realized that the others had turned around and stared at me.
Jace spun like a robot. His gaze at me was full with surprise even though I'd told him before about Sebastian's will.
The shadowhunters around me made a move in an instance. Like there was a command, they took a distance from me. Now I stood in the center of a circle, there were just three shadowhunters stood next to me.
"Don't listen to him, Clary," Izzy stood in front of me, starring straight at Sebastian, "You belong here with us."
I hissed with rage. I don't like it when people keep trying to protect me from what I have to face by myself.
"Step aside, Iz," I whispered fiercely, "I'm the one who have to face him."
Aline and Hellen heard me and they took a step aside but kept a close distance between us. Isabelle shifted from my front to my side.
"There's no reason for Clary to come with you!" Jace snapped. He was standing between me and Sebastian. Protected me from him. I could see for a moment, his eyes were flashing with rage.
"Clarissa," Sebastian Called me again, lifting his eyebrow, "Remember what I told You before?"
My eyes widened.
Was this really all about taking me with him?
"I'm not yours!" I blurted. I could feel my face blushed with shame and anger, "And I will never be yours!"
Sebastian clicked his tongue. His gaze still focused on me. Right then, a dagger flew towards him.
Still with a wide eye, I watched Sebastian waved his hand lazily and that dagger turned back, whizzed, before plunged into the stomach of the owner. Jia penhallow.
"Mom!" Aline yelled. She bursted toward her mother who's now slumped to the floor. Some shadowhunters ran to help her.
"You!" Maryse barked. But Alec grabbed her hand before she could do anything. He gave her a warning look.
"You know that's not true, Clarissa," Sebastian continued speaking like there was no interruptions. It drew my attention back to him, "You know that You're mine. That's why You can hear my voice and the reason why I can be here right now."
I didn't answer instantly, or maybe I just didn't listen to him. My body was trembling with rage and hatred. All that I could feel just Iz who was holding my hand tightly.
"We are one," Sebastian said with a stern voice, sending a shiver through my spine.
"What do you mean?!" Jace asked. It seemed that Sebastian words had shot a wave through the crowd.
Sebastian chortled. He leaned casually towards the handrail. Looked down contemptuously.
"Do you remember when my sister said that I told her we belong to each other?" smile played in his lips as that words came out, "By saying that, She admitted it accidentally. The bond between us, I mean. And the bond's just getting stronger. Not the same as you and I did, but we are one. As long as valentine's and Jocelyn's blood flows through our veins, she is mine. And where she stands, is where I belong."
The more Sebastian's words came to end, the more my body became cold.
As long as Valentine's and Jocelyn's blood flows through our veins…
That's why the barrier didn't worked. He was part of me. As long as I was inside this building, he could come in and out freely.
I staggered back.
No! I don't want to be bound to him! Never!
Next second, I felt three things happen : Izzy's grip on my hand tightened, something very powerful hit me, and loud shout flooded the room.
This couldn't be real, I thought to myself. I must be still dreaming.
Then, everything went blank.
Oookaaay, that's all for now. Kinda short but I'm going to post the next chapter as soon as possible. :D
