Disclaimer: I don't own the characters
"I've heard a lot about you Clarissa Morgenstern. I'm not stupid, I know you're special. I know you can do amazing things. That's why I made Jace sleep with me, made you see us together. I need you" the woman said.
"Wait, whose Jace. Who are you? I don't have any idea what you're talking about. I'm not special. I'm just a normal, very confused girl" Clary said.
"Huh, the rune worked better than expected. Let me lay it out for you Clary – you're a special sort of shadow hunter, you and Jace both. Normal shadow hunters have 50% angle blood, but the two of you have 75%. I could do a lot with that sort of blood. I'm Victoria by the way, a warlock." She smiled, flashing the fangs again.
"What do you mean? What are you going to do with me?" Clary asked
"Well, I'm not totally inhumane Clary, I'll give Jace a week to find you, and I'll only take the smallest amount of your blood in that time" she flashed her smile again "once that week is up, I'll send him some clues to you whereabouts – but they will come at a price: more blood from you, and a ransom. If he still hasn't come to rescue you I'll assume that he doesn't want you and sell you too the highest bidder. Sound good"
Clary sat silently in her seat. She knew that no matter what she said she wouldn't be able to change the warlocks mind. She was still aware of the glowing mark on her stomach and wondered what it was.
"Would you be able to take of the restraints, I'm not going to try and escape" I don't know how to escape Clary corrected to herself.
"Fine, but I'm only taking of your arms, and after I've take some blood" Victoria said, with a wicked smile.
"Nothing is working" Magnus said "I can't track her with anything"
"I told you" James said "she doesn't feel a connection to any of this stuff anymore. I say try tracking her with something important to her before she entered the shadow world."
"You don't think we would have tried that already" Jace said "everything she had before that was taken by Valentine when he was trying to find the cup."
"Well, I reckon we speak to who every gave her the idea for the rune" Alec said
"She probably just made it up on her own, like she usually does" Izzy said
"yeah, but she usually had a motive for this sort of stuff, if she really wanted to forget she would have done it a long time ago" Alec said "and James said it was glowing red, that only happens when it had something demonic to it, like Jace's when he got that one from Lilith."
"Okay sure, but who would do something like that to Clary" Magnus asked. Jace had gone deathly white he sat down in the chair and had his eyebrows burrowed in concentration.
"What are you thinking" Izzy asked
"Victoria" Jace said.
"She's in jail Jace, she wouldn't have been able to give her the rune, let alone take her" Izzy said
"Okay, it's like Alec said right, with the rune – what if Clary got hers in a dream to? Victoria wouldn't have had to leave her cell to do that. It can't be hard to believe that someone like that would be working with other people, would it." Jace said
"But Lilith was one of the most powerful demons of all time. Would a warlock be able to do that?" Alec asked, looking to Magnus.
"Perhaps" he said "If she were really powerful, extremely old and had motives. It might be possible."
James nodded his head "we should go talk to her. If we demand it we might be able to get her to talk."
"Where are the others, they might want to come. We should probably go talk to Joe as well, he was there when Clary disappeared" Jace said
"Joe left a couple of hours ago. Said he couldn't be here any longer. Anyway, all the other guys were there. We don't have any time to lose." Alec said.
After they had gathered everyone, explained the plan and called Joe a couple times, Magnus opened a portal and they walked in imagining the glass city that had changed so much because of Clary.
Clary opened her eyes to see the same woman standing in front of her, talking with a boy. She quickly closed her eyes again so they wouldn't know she was awake.
"Are you sure they don't know" the woman asked
"Positive, they think I'm just blowing of steam" the boy said
"You've done well" the woman said "could've done better though"
"Look we wouldn't have been able to take them both. She was admit about not being with him. We may have been able to if you hadn't taken her early." The boy said
"Always my fault" the woman said "at least she used the rune"
Clary had decided she had heard enough and opened her eyes. She stretched out her arms, they're restrains had been taken of. She looked down and say a big slash on her arm, covered in dry blood. She remembered that the woman, Victoria, had cut her and started taking blood, when Clary passed out.
The two figured in front of her looked over.
"Good you're awake" Victoria said.
"Who's that" Clary asked, motioning her head toward the boy.
"Well I call him Josh, but you will know him better as Joe" she said
"What do you mean we're not allowed in" Jace asked
"Just that kid" said the guard "No one goes in, no one comes out."
Alec stepped forward "I am a member of the Clave and demand to know the refusal of our entry"
"Escaped prisoner" the guard said
"who" Izzy asked, everyone sharing worried glances
"Some warlock named Victoria" the guard replied.
