Jace POV

Jace was fixing a snack for his children in the kitchen when he heard shouting coming from the garden.

He quickly abandoned everything he was doing and ran to the door.

He burst through and saw a pale Maia, supporting a dazed Jordan. Jace followed Maia's line of sight and gasped.

Clary! His Clary was passed out on the top of the steps. Her red hair bellowed around her shoulders. He heard footsteps coming from within the institute and knew Alec was on the way.

He bent down and picked Clary up, bridal style. Her whole body was limp in his arms. He noticed a handle sticking out of her side. He felt his face drain of colour.

"What's going on? What hap-" Alec said, finally arriving at the door. Jace couldn't take his eyes off Clary. She was alive. Her chest was moving so she was breathing.

"Alec, take Jordan and give Maia your phone so she can call Magnus." Ordered Jace.

He immediately rushed to the infirmary. He wasn't losing Clary now that she was in his arms again.

Sebastian was going to pay for this.

As soon as he placed Clary on the nearest bed in the infirmary, he checked her pulse. It was weak, but it was there.

"Please Clary! Don't leave me! Come on baby! You can't leave me!" he pleaded.

He fell to his knees beside her bed and placed his face into her hair. She smelled the same. He was sobbing and smelling her at the same time. He couldn't lose her.

His eyes locked on the weapon stuck in her side, and without thinking he reached for the handle and pulled it out.

It was a short dagger but what shocked Jace was the blood. Clary should have had crimson blood. The black liquid pouring out of her already healing wound was definitely not normal.

What had Sebastian done?

Jace didn't have long to ponder as he tried to stop the liquid, and the door swung open revealing Alec carrying Jordan and Maia and Magnus not too far behind.

Magnus saw the liquid and paled. He looked at a loss for words, which really terrified Jace.

"Out now." Magnus ordered.

"HELL NO!" Jace and Maia shouted in unison.

Magnus sighed. "I need to concentrate and I can't do that with you people!"

Before Jace or Maia could object, Alec had picked Maia up over his shoulder and as he walked past Jace, he grabbed the back of his shirt.

Jace struggled against him, his shirt tearing, but with some help from Magnus, Jace felt his body being pushed through the door.

He lost his balance and landed on his ass on the ground. He looked over at Alec who was placing Maia back on her feet. She looked pale but didn't say anything.

Jace couldn't believe Clary was back. The sight of her blood still burned his mind.

What did that sick psychopath do to her?

"Alec, Can you keep an eye on the twins." Jace asked his parabatai.

"Sure…I'll let Izzy know that Clary…on second thought, maybe I shouldn't…" Alec looked lost, but Jace was further from the answer.

Isabelle had gained consciousness a few hours ago, she said she felt weird, but could still feel Clary through their connection. The mark was still faint, but at least they were connected.

Now that he thought about it, Clary didn't have any of her marks bared on her skin. He had been too worried about her to notice. The only thing that could make that happen was if she was stripped of her marks or-NO! Sebastian wouldn't make her drink from the cup…

Only he would…he had in fact tried. That explained why her blood was black. But he needed to find out how she arrived back at the institute.

"Maia…What happened?" He asked the girl who was staring at the floor. She looked shocked that he had spoken to her.

"Jordan took me out on a mundane date. He wanted to get a break from everything. We went to some mundane sport hall and while we were walking around, he noticed Clary laughing with her brother." Jace gasped. Had they been getting along? "We couldn't believe what we were seeing so as we got closer, Jordan called her and when she looked at us…" Maia paled and shivered as though a cold shiver went down her spine.

"What?"

"Her eyes! They were-" Maia was cut off by the door to the infirmary banging open.

Jace snapped his attention to the door and gasped.

It was Clary, but her eyes were different. Instead of her bright emerald-green eyes, they were now black depthless irises.

Jace also noticed that when her eyes fell on him, her whole expression changed. She looked hopeful and relieved.

But as soon as his shocked face registered in her mind, her expression fell and Jace was sure he saw tears forming in her eyes, but he was too stunned to say or do anything.

Clary ran down the hallway, faster than anyone but Jace could have run.

He cursed to himself, before standing up and running after his wife so he could fulfill his promise to never let her go.

Clary POV

He was disgusted by her! There was no other explanation. He was disgusted by what her brother did to her.

She should have stayed with Jonathan instead of putting her children in danger. What had she been thinking coming back? What made her think that Jace would even want her, let alone love her?

She felt tears falling freely down her cheeks. She couldn't stop the salty drops, even if she was bothered to try.

She was running down the hallway, looking for some escape. It had only been a day and the institute already looked foreign to her. How was it possible that she was completely lost in the place she called home for over six years!

She heard footsteps behind her, but she didn't bother to turn around. She just wanted to get out of the institute. She felt like she was running in circles.

Her head felt slightly dizzy since she woke up. Magnus had his hands over her, blue sparkles producing from the tips of his fingers. He looked like he was concentrating really hard.

She felt bad that in her scramble to get out of the bed to make sure she wasn't dreaming, that she was back at institute, she had knocked him over.

Clary still found it strange that her senses had improved, especially since it had only been a few hours…But she was wary of what Jonathan's blood did to her. She didn't feel that much different from before Jonathan had thrown that blade into her side.

She found the stairs! She didn't bother running down the steps, so instead she flung herself over the banister and landed at the end of the other flight of stairs. She still couldn't navigate her way through the maze like halls of the institute, but she was able to catch a glimpse of the elevator.

She couldn't run faster, but the footsteps behind her had gotten louder. As soon as she reached the lift, she pressed the button and impatiently waited for the doors to open.

It took a few seconds for the lift to reach the floor and open the door. Before Clary could step into the deathtrap, a body collided with hers and making her lose her balance.

She fell into the lift with a heavy weight crushing her. She didn't realize how hysterical she was till she tried to speak.

"P-please! I'll go! I didn't mean any harm." Her vision was blurry as tears fell freely done her face. Her voice was cracked and hoarse. She didn't know who had tackled her. She just wanted to leave before she became more of a freak.

"I'm never letting you go again, Clary." Said the familiar voice of Jace.

Sorry for this chapter being up late, it's not as good as I wanted it to be, but I don't want to give up on any of my stories!
