Hi everyone. Sorry for the delay! Have a lot of homework this week. But I haven't forgotten about ye. So here is another chapter!

CHAPTER 7: CLARY'S TORTURE

CPOV

He kicked her mercilessly in the stomach again.

"Draw it!" He demanded.

Clary whimpered but didn't take the stele fron his hand. Instead, she curled up into a ball, tears trickling down her face. She wished somebody would find her. But nobody had. So Sebastian had hit her, punched her in the face and stomach, stabbed her, kicked her. After he was finished beating her, he'd heal her with an Iratze and start all over again if she denied making the Runes for power and a Rune to stop anybody from touching him.

As soon as he would name the Rune, the image would appear in her head. But she wouldn't give up. Everytime he demanded, she denied.

In return he'd beat her up.

As she saw him walk towards her again, she backed away. Over the past five days he'd broken her until she would only fear him. But she'd still managed to hold on to enough strength to endure her daily torture and deny his demand for the Destructive Rune, Power Rune, and an Immunity Rune.

This time though, he was demanding she draw him the Destuctive Rune.

As he neared her, she felt something sharp poke at her thigh. She glanced down and saw the two daggers Isabelle had had. She vaguely remembered grabbing them as Sebastian had thrown them away. He'd dragged Isabelle to a demon with wings and had told it to bring Isabelle near Alicante, but not too near. While Izzy was unconscious he'd stabbed her in the stomach and then given her to the demon.

When Sebastian reached out to grab Clary, she stabbed him in the arm with her dagger.

He howled in fury. She ducked under his arms and limped/ran towards the front door. Just as she neared it though, it flung open.

JPOV

After Izzy was healed by an Iratze and Alec came back, Jace had stalked up to Magnus and demanded he try and track Clary. Magnus had agreed and immediately started working on the Tracking Spell.

Finally, after five days, Magnus had tracked her in the countryside not far from where Lake Lynn was.

Isabelle had demanded that Jace and Alec let her go with them to find Clary. Magnus came with them along with some other Shadowhunters. Though Isabelle had had a breakdown at Max's funeral, she'd vowed to help Clary and get revenge for her little brother's death.

Jace and Alec were now a half hour away from Clary's location.

Jace had noticed that while Isabelle had been gone, she'd somehow made a friendship with Clary. She'd become determined to find her and protect her. He wondered if she'd ask Clary to be her parabatai when this was all over.

"Isabelle?" He said.

"What?" She asked, looking at him with a frown.

"I was just wondering if you would ask Clary to be your parabatai when all this is over."

"I hadn't actually thought about it till you just mentioned it," she replied.

He thought she looked a bit distracted as she said it. She was looking out over a hill now. He followed her gaze.

There was the cottage behind the hill. He picked up his pace when he heard shouting.

Izzy stalled for a second, looking like she was remembering something.

Guess this has effected her more than I thought. What happened to them that night?

As he neared the door, he and Alec killed the demons that were guarding the door. Suddenly he heard a howl filled with fury. He and Alec looked at each other.

Alec nodded, thinking the same thing as Jace: break the door in.

Jace tried the lock first, and found it was open. He heard running in the hallway and flung the door open.
