Thank you so much for reading my story. I am really sorry for not updating but life is crazy, and that's just…life. So let's just get on with the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own the mortal instruments series or any of the characters.

Last time in case you forgot

A large man walks into the room and I look at his face.

We all gasp at the same time…

Valentine!

Clary's POV

What, how is that even possible? He is dead. I watched him die. This doesn't make sense. What? I get snapped out of my reverie when Jace runs up to valentine and quickly draws his fist back, leading into a punch. When valentine stops his fist with his hand and holds onto him sons arm like a weapon.

Valentine leans in close to Jace's face while looking him straight in the eye. For a second I thought he was going to kiss him. But instead he said "is that anyway to great your father, I thought I told you that before." Then he twist Jace's arm, hard. Not enough to break it but enough to feel pain, I could see it in his eyes, but he was trying not to show it.

"Stop" I yell, "You're hurting him" I run up to Valentine, not sure what I am going to do but I quickly decide to draw my knife. "I am going to put you back you where you belong. As the silent brothers say the decent to hell is easy. I am going to make this really easy." I draw the knife back about to strike, when I hesitate. God why can't I just kill him? In that second I stop he releases Jace and puts me into a headlock.

"Looks like you can't kill me" He whispers in my ear then laughs. I struggle and try to fight him but he is too strong. "You all can leave, except clary." No one moved, they all seemed to be frozen. I can barely breathe. I look Jace right in the eyes and I can tell he is planning something. "Go-on go, this is your last chance"

Just then I see Jace run towards me and I feel air fill my lungs. Valentine is pinned to wall and Jace says. "Screw you we are leaving" then he knocks him square in the jaw with one punch and we turn to leave. As I approach the door, Alec who is walking in front of me bounces back and crashes into Jace who is carrying Izzy.

"What the hell" Jace exclaims. Sigh, I march to the door and hit this glass walk and bounce back just like Alec. I reach my hand out and there is a barrier, really, come on.

"You can't leave" I hear Valentine barely say but his words are slurred, serves him right.

Ignoring his comment I take out my steel and give Valentine a what are you going to do about it face. I press my steel to the barrier… "Ow" I scream as I feel a powerful shock through my body. I can feel my body shaking and find myself falling to the ground when I feel supportive arms around me but not Jace's arms. I open my eyes to find Alec holding me. I stand up on my own but I can still feel my body tingling. "What did you do, tell us how to get out of here!" I scream at Valentine. "I have had enough of your stupid little games, let us go" I say venomously.

"OK, it's easy all you have to do is give me the Mark of Cain." My eyes widen, if I do that then we cannot kill him. Shoot…..idea.

I walk up to him. "Sure no biggy." With my steel still in hand I look to Jace whose face says, are you out of your mind. I silently tell him, trust me. He gives me a half nod; I take that as a yes. I gently lean into Valentine's forehead and take a deep breath, that was a mistake, I don't know if this is possible but he smells like death. I place the tip of the steel on him and trace out the rune. Well now he is indestructible, right? Wrong, he falls to the ground screaming.

"Opps, did I give you the wrong rune, shoot, I totally did not mean to do that." I smile and turn around to see everyone else smiling too. Shortly after Valentine falls silent and I reach towards my belt for my dagger, to make sure he is dead.

But Jace beats me to it. "I got it" he says, then takes the dagger from my hand, lingering on my fingers, and drives that dagger into Valentines heart. He pushes the dagger in further to make sure he is dead, and steps back. I watch as Alec reaches his hand out to feel for the barrio and he touches nothing. So he picks up Isabelle and leaves silently. Kayla who is in shock, maybe it was the killing or maybe everything is just too much, it happened to me.

"I was right." Jace said through the silence, he was wearing my favorite grin.

"What do you mean?"

"About Kayla, she was only bait, he wanted you."

"Come on, he would have got me anyway. Don't blame her. Let's get out of here." I walk forward and grab him hand. He lean down and gives me a lingering kiss on the cheek. I take one last look at Valentine and we leave together.
