Then my teacher left and we found out that she was terminally ill and we sort of had to spend a lot of time on that. Anyway here is chapter 10 and i hope you guys enjoy it. Please don't unfollow this stoy just because i didn't upload. I promise to uploade once a week from now on unless something huge comes up. :) love you guys xx
He spits blood in my face and it splatters down my neck. His blood is black as coal and slightly burns my skin where it collides.
"I'm trying to help you here. Can't you see? I want you to not be in pain," he says and his eyes convey what his speech can't. That somewhere deep inside his twisted mind he actually does love me and it hurts him to see me like this.
At the mention of the pain, it returns. I connect with the ground with a sickening smash as my head falls. I see stars and I know that there is no chance of me getting up. Sebastian's arms come underneath me and I feel him lifting me up. The last thing I feel is slight swaying as his strong, muscle-corded arms carry me and then I black out.
~Jace~
Of course Sebastian had to turn up. Of course he did. And he even tried to make it look like he wanted to help. Trust him to ruin a perfect time. Right now he is probably fixing her up before getting ready to turn her into some slave of his again. I walk to my room and slam the door. I flop onto the bed and sob. I hope no one comes in and sees me like this. I just can't bear the thought of my perfect Clary turning into one of those dark, twisted shadowhunters like Sebastian. I hear a knock on my door.
"Go away," I try to shout but it comes out like more of strangled cry. Slowly the door open and in walks Isabelle.
~Clary~
When I awake I slowly open my eyes to a perfect scene. It's a gorgeous meadow. Perfectly round. To my left is a glistening lake and to my right is a rainforest teeming with life. There is only one thing ruining the picture perfect scene. Sebastian is standing in front of me, his white-blonde hair standing out like a beacon under the shade of the oak tree.
"Awake finally sis?" he says.
"Yeah, you got a problem with it?" I know I shouldn't aggravate him but I can't help it. I hate him so much.
He hands come into view from behind his back and a very familiar object occupies them. It's the dreaded infernal cup and it's already filled with thick, black blood.
"No!" I scramble away from him in a desperate attempt to escape but the pain returns and it's all too much. I sprawl to the ground again and moan.
"You will drink this no matter what. It's the only thing that can fix your pain and it will and then we can get on with our wonderful plans," he snarls at me and thrusts the cup into my mouth. I have no strength to resist and the acrid liquid fills my mouth.
"Yes, that's it sister," he says.
I grimace at him before my vision clouds and then turn black again.
~Jace~
"Jace! What's up with you? What's happened?" she asks, her voice full of concern. I just look at her and eventually realisation dawns on her features.
"He didn't! Oh why does he always have to ruin things. We are going to find Clary and kill Sebastian in the process and you are going to help. Get up. We are going to find Alec." She walks out of the room with all the pride in the world.
I get up and follow her. I feel drained both physically and mentally but I know that we need to save Clary and fight Sebastian once and for all.
~Clary~
He is standing in front of me as I open my eyes. Wait a minute. It's Sebastian. I hate him so much but I remember the events of the past few hours clearly enough to know that I drank from his stupid cup and should be completely all for him now. Instead I feel remorse and emptiness and miss Jace like nothing else. I also that the pain is all but erased from my body. I decide to play this for what it's worth and hope that he hasn't noticed my hate towards him yet.
"Hey Sebby! I've missed you these past few weeks. I can't believe I spent them with Jace" I try to put as much disgust as possible into his name but I can't muster up enough. The look on his face tells me he is clueless though and very delighted that I have responded like this to him.
"Hey sister. Haha, I know right. I was just waiting for the right time to save you,' he says with an easy smile.
