I try to hide under Jace's sheets, but there is no escaping my brother. I sit up and look at him. His cheeks are a different shade of red than usual and his hands are in fists. He definitely has the wrong idea.

"Seb, calm down." I get up out of bed forgetting completely that I'm wearing Jace's clothes. "It's not what you think."

He looked me up and down. "It's not what I think? Oh sure. You are just wearing his clothes and in bed with him because why not! I'm so disappointed in you."

"Look Sebastian I'm sorry you think you know what you are talking about, but truth is we slept. That's all that happened." Jace tried his best to help me out, but what he said just pushed Sebastian over the edge.

"I knew I shouldn't have let you come here. Grab your things I'm taking you somewhere else to live." Sebastian started to walk away, and I lost it.

"Fine. I'll leave. I'll leave the only person that was actually trying to help me calm down last night. I'll leave the one person that stopped my nightmares from driving me insane. I'll leave the one person that cares." I stormed out, pushing past Sebastian. I let my tears fall, they've been falling so often lately.

"Clary…I didn't know."

I hear what Sebastian says, but I don't care. I don't want to hear it. If he won't give me a chance I won't give him one either. After I get in my room I throw on my hoodie and pants, and then head downstairs. I see Robert and Maryse, but I can't talk to anyone right now. I'm not stable enough for conversation.

"Morning Clary. We've got cereal if you want anything to eat." Robert seemed so nice.

"Thanks. I'm going out."

I didn't wait for a reply, I just left. My thoughts were raging as I walked down the streets of Alicante. I know my brother only means to protect me, but that was too much. He was making something little more than it was. I need to blow off some steam. Maybe I can go demon hunting. That sounds like a good stress relief.

When I was younger dad would take me out demon hunting with him. He taught me everything I know, and I'm a really good fighter. He used to tell me that I would be the best shadowhunter to walk the earth. That thought always made me laugh, but he was completely serious. He said he knew it when he saw me in action for the first time. My first kill was when I was seven. Dad was reluctant to take me out because of my age, but I changed his mind after I slaughtered a ravener demon. We were walking the streets of downtown New York and dad was showing me how to do a sneak attack. After he taught me what to do I just ran up and killed it. He was a little upset that I didn't use his sneak tactics, but was proud about how courageous I was. That was when things in life were still semi normal, but I guess anything is normal compared to my life now.

I go through some of my past as I walk to the edge of town, and my anger slowly fades. Normal happy Clary starts to come back, which is good. I need to be in complete control for the hunt. The last time I went on a hunt alone…wait. I've never been on a hunt without backup. My nerves start to pick up a little and the silence begins to bother me, so I hum to fill the emptiness.

"What's that you're humming?" I instantly freeze. I know that voice.

"Dad?" I turn to find him behind me. I wonder how long he has been following me.

"Clary. Oh, my Clary. Aren't you happy to see me? I was so sad that I didn't get to see you when I came downstairs the other day." His sinister smile makes me want to vomit.

"W-why are you here?"

"I brought you something. You haven't had it in years, and I figured that you were missing it." He brought his left arm out from behind his back and I jumped. "Oh yes. It has been too long. I can see how much you've been missing your injection Clary." He started to walk closer to me, and I ran.

My tears start to come again, but I push them back. If he catches me, I can't let him see that he has won. I have to be strong and I need to outsmart him. Whatever he would do in this situation, I need to do the opposite. Since he taught me everything, I know his moves. If I was my father I would do something sneaky. I stop running and check behind me. Just as I thought, he isn't there. There's a few hills in the distance, I bet he went there thinking that would be a good hiding spot. I can either take a run for it or I can confront him. Maybe I could win since I will have the object of surprise.

I head for the hills confident in my choice. I don't have anything to lose anyway. Within a few minutes I reach the hills and see an opening for a valley in between two hills. That would be a perfect hiding spot. As I enter the valley I check everything out. My father is nowhere in sight, but I go further in between the two hills. I reach the end of the valley where the other side of the two mountains reach, and my father was nowhere to be seen.

I take one look back at the valley before I leave to go look somewhere else and see a flash. It looked like a light, but there couldn't be any lights in the mountains. I walk back towards the flash and grab my seraph blade out of my boot. I listen for any sounds, but there are none. As I walk past where I saw the flash I see a rock behind a tree that I hadn't seen earlier. I walk over to it and find the syringe. There is a note on it from my father.

Clary,

I figured you would try to outsmart me, so I left you this as my gift. I wanted to give it to you myself, but I don't want to fight with you right now. I have other business to attend to. It was nice seeing you today. Oh and you shouldn't have left Simon the way you did the other day. I found the poor guy walking the streets of New York alone, and we had a little chat. I have him tucked away in one of my secret places. If you don't take the injection I'll give him one instead only it'll be more fatal than yours. When you have taken your injection bring the syringe and yourself, alone, back to New York. I have eyes on you, so when you get home you will receive further instructions. If you want Simon to have any chance at survival, then do what I ask of you.

Your Loving Father

After I finished the note it burst into flames. He was hiding the evidence with the help of a warlock. I wonder who. My heart dropped from the words I just read. I looked at the syringe and a shook. I guess I have to do this. I can't let Simon die. I can't, not even if we aren't on speaking terms right now. I wrap my hand around the syringe and inspect it. It is a light green color, and there are bubbles all throughout it. I know from experience that it is very thick and has an odor similar to roadkill. I wonder if it will be one of the painful injections, or one of the easy ones. I pull my jeans off and find the familiar place on my leg.

When I was younger and father injected me, my skin would react and it scarred. He injected me in a way to create a symbol. I haven't seen it anywhere, but from my father. For some time I thought the symbol might have meant something, but I've never seen it among any other of the runes. It is located on my upper right thigh, and is sensitive to the touch. There's so much history on this spot of my body, it's unsettling.

I pick the syringe back up and lean myself up against a rock behind me for support. My breathing pattern starts to go wacky as I begin to hyperventilate. I need to inject this before I go into a panic attack. I raise the syringe above my head and bring it down into a place where I have already received so many injections. I push the serum into me, and pain shoots up throughout my body. I scream out in pain, unable to control myself. It feels like hours pass until all of the serum is finally pushed in to me. Taking a deep breath I pull the syringe out of my leg, letting out more of my screams. It's good that I'm far away from town right now, or someone might think I was getting murdered.

I feel myself going dizzy, so I sit down on the ground. My vision starts to go blurry and I feel myself losing balance. I lay down on my stomach, and all of the light goes away. I'm out.

How was chapter 5? Got a little dad action in this chapter and a little injection action too! I wonder what those injections are…oh wait I know:) Haha I'm sorry:) in the next few chapters I'm going to be explaining everything so sit tight!

Also, I need opinions on this. Do you think the story is going too slow? Like should I get to the point faster or is this fine? I mean I like it but I want to know what you guys think! Oh yeah i'm also going to be making the chapters longer!

Hope you enjoyed the chapter and I'm gonna go get started on the next one!
