Hope you enjoy this chappie :)
I look in the mirror. My back is covered in large bruises. So many that it has created one big bruise on what was once a pale back. My ribs are swollen and red too. The pain is getting worse. My eyes are hollow and already my skin is looking sallow and pale. I have been in the bathroom for almost an hour now and I know that Jace will be getting worried. I don't know what to tell him. The Silent Brothers told me to return at the first sight of any pain of problems but I can't face them again. I can't go down into that dank, dark place where the dead lie. And I can't go to Jace. I have already pestered them with all my problems. When Sebastian took me away, I can't even imagine how planning and time it took them to plot and carry out my rescue. Not to mention me hating them for it afterwards. No, I can't go to Jace or any of them. I'm just going to have to push through the pain. I set my features into a mask of nonchalance and confidently open the door. Jace is standing there just like I expected. He sighs with relief. My face must be convincing.
"Turns out it was nothing. I has some neck pain so I took a hot shower and it's gone now. Must of just been from kissing you to much," as I say this the pain returns and the levels are so high that I crumple to the ground.
"Clary! What's happening to you?" He arms are around me in an instant but there is someone else there. Someone with white-blonde hair and pale skin. His dark tunnels look at me.
"Clary? Ugh! I knew this would happen. Of course, and it's your fault Jace. If you hadn't taken her to the Brothers then everything would be fine.
"What do you mean?"
"Really? What did you expect? You can't just take every little bit of bad from someone. Everyone needs a balance."
"I don't understand. What?"
"Ugh, your so dumb. The only reason I'm not going to kill you is because she is in pain. Let me take and I can fix her up." I feel Sebastian's arms come under me but I am in to much pain to protest.
"SEBASTIAN! Put her down right now!"
Sebastian starts to run and I find the strength to struggle in his grip. It slows him down but has incredible strength and he is still running extremely fast. I hear Jace panting behind us but he is slowly falling behind.
"Jace! Help me!" My voice comes out in a hoarse whisper; even so, I can tell he hears me.
"I… I can't. Clary, I will come for you!" The last of words is drowned out when Sebastian jumps through the Portal.
We are falling through space. It's dark. Wherever we are going, it's got to be pretty far away from the institute for the Portal to take this long. Then I have an idea. Someone at the beginning of the fall my hand was ripped away from Sebastian's grip. I think as hard as I can for the one place I want to be that isn't the institute. The very first thing that comes to my mind is Idris. I picture the lush green lands and the glass city in my head and suddenly I hit something hard. The wind is knocked out of me. I get up slowly and my head swims. I look around. I am standing upon the demon tower at the very top and have a perfect view of everything. Including Sebastian, standing at the very bottom of the tower looking around desperately for me. I duck down, hoping that he hasn't seen me. No such luck. I hear his footsteps quickly climbing up the tower. I could run but although I feel stronger, I know that I would never be able to outrun Sebastian and with my pain makes the chances half as good.
I spin around to see Sebastian breathing down my neck. He looks amused but also slightly impatient as if I have just called him from one of his favourite activities.
"That was a nice little trick you pulled there, sister. But I'm to smart for you and all you have done is created a small detour for. Why don't you walk with me to Lake Lyn and maybe we can have a small picnic there?"
"Never in my life will I willingly have a picnic with you," I spit. And then I throw him a right hook into the bottom of his jaw.
