Scarred for Life
Chapter 7
Hey everyone! I decided to post this chapter a lot earlier than planned because you guys wanted me to. You all really are great! I've already gotten some excellent ideas for this story that will come into play within the next few chapters (not this one). That's all… enjoy!
Jace P.O.V (Finally!)
"What?" I screamed, fury coursing through me.
"Jonathon and Valentine broke out of the Silent City. We don't know what they are after, but the Clave is looking." Maryse, despite everything, still remained calm. Although, if I looked into her eyes, I could see the fear.
This can't be happening, I thought, it's bad enough that the red-headed bitch never got caught, but now the father and brother's out too? It'll be a big happy, psychopathic family reunion. I couldn't stand to be in the same room as anyone anymore. I needed to get away from anyone I could possibly hurt. I stormed out of the library without another glance back at Maryse.
.o.O.o.
After punching 3 holes in my bedroom wall, I finally heard the insistent banging on my bedroom door.
"Jace!" Izzy screamed, "Let me in! Tell me what's wrong!" I wanted to, but I just couldn't. I was too angry to be around anyone. I needed to go hunting, bad.
5 minutes later, I had on my hunting gear and all my weapons were stashed in my belt. Throwing open my bedroom door, I found Izzy, hands on her hips, on the other side looking extremely pissed off. "Who peed in your cheerio's?" I knew I was being an ass, but I couldn't help it. I started walking down the hall, hoping Iz would take the hint and leave me alone.
She didn't. "Jace Wayland!" She yelled, her long legs catching up with mine quickly. "You will tell me what happened this instant!"
By now we had reached the elevator. I stepped into it, and right before the doors closed said, "Why don't you ask your mother?"
Isabelle P.O.V
I had only seen Jace this disturbed one other time in the 8 years I had known him; the day his father was murdered. Not so coincidentally, that was also the day that he showed up at the Institute. I didn't want to dwell on the past, so I ran into the kitchen trying to find Rebecca and Simon.
I found them laughing and eating in the kitchen. Once I told them what had happened with Jace, the amusement in their expressions was gone. Rebecca's expression replaced with worry, and Simon's replaced with disgust. Did Simon really not like Jace that much? I saw Simon look over possessively at Rebecca and instantly knew what was going on.
Simon loves Rebecca, but she doesn't know it. Rebecca and Jace have some weird attraction to each other, but don't want to admit it. Also, I might like Simon a teensy- little bit. Not really enough to matter but… if I see another girl try and flirt with her, I will personally RIP HER HEAD OFF! Alright Isabelle, it's time for this tiger to put her claws away.
Rebecca, still worried, asked, "Why would he run away? I mean, I know I've only known him for a couple hours, but he doesn't strike me as the type of person that would just run away!"
I nodded. "He isn't. Before he left, he told me to ask my mom. So my children, follow me!" As we were walking to the library, I purposely shook my hips a little more than necessary. I know Rebecca didn't like him, and I wanted him to know that I would be there for him for anything he may need. Wow, I sound like a Class-A whore! Shaking off the thought, I walked into the library and found Mom pacing around her desk.
"Mom, what's wrong? Why did Jace come running out of here like a bat out of hell?"
Mom straightened and smoothed out her pant-suit. "All of you sit down, right now. There's something I have to tell you." We immediately sat on the couch. "I have no other way of saying this, so I'm just going to come out and say it. Jonathon and Valentine Morgenstern broke out of the Silent City last night."
I looked around. Rebecca looked like she was about to throw up, Simon looked pissed, scared, and sad all at the same time, but I just stood there, confused. "Who's Valentine and why is he so important?"
"Isabelle," Maryse said calmly, "Valentine is the man that forced his daughter to kill Michael Wayland. Jonathon is his son."
I was immediately filled with a white-hot rage. "Where is their bitch of a daughter?! Was she in the Silent City?" Maryse shook her head. I looked over and saw that tears were now streaming down her face. I dismissed it. It probably has something to do with Jace. "If she's still free, I will hunt her down and kill her. Painfully, and very slowly. I swear by the Angel."
Simon jumped off the couch and growled at me. He startled me and I jumped back. "Don't you ever talk about Clary like that. She's got more courage in her little pinky finger than you have in your entire body."
Even though I was terrified of him at this moment, I decided to play it cool. "Why are you sticking up for her? How do you even know her?"
"Because," said a feeble voice from behind Simon, "I'm Clary Morgenstern." I looked behind him and was shocked to see that it was Rebecca who had spoken.
Another Cliffy! I really am a terrible person. MWWAAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'll make you a deal, because I love all of you. If I get 10 reviews and another 8 followers, I'll update by Thursday. If not, I might just have to wait until next Monday :- )
I hope you make the right decision! I'll be waiting!
