HeartGlow2112 is back with another chapter. thanks for the review.. it pleases me how you guys like what I write. Reviews are very much appreciated and literally. Thanks all! Keep reviewing.

Clary picked a pink bathrobe on her way to the main hall by the kitchen she wanted coffee and wanted it desperately.

Clary tied the robe to her body and started finding the ingredients of the recipe in the kitchen. She looked in the cupboards and drawers. She found nothing. Hmm maybe Sebastian hates coffe, she thought. She drank some water and sat down on the sofa. She looked out the window beside the couch. The window was soo beautiful. It had wood coverings with a total glassy effect.

Clary sighed. She missed home, she missed her friends, simon and….Jace. she thought about Jace and had almost tears in her eyes. She tried to talk to him recently but he didn't reply, maybe they have trouble she guessed.

Also, the episode with Sebastian had her running her blood soo fast she was sure she was about to combust. She didn't want to admit but she started caring for Sebastian, like a brother.. only a brother and nothing else. She told herself

Clary didn't realise footsteps at first thinking about these things but when she did she didn't have time to turn around and see who it is. Instead she felt too strong hands hug herfrom behind and kiss her hair. Sebastian, she thought it must be him.

'You should really get to sleep.' She told him.

'Not yet darling.' He said.. but wait.. that wasn't sebastian's voice. This voice was more huskier and she couldn't catch it.

Clary panicked suddenly very aware of the fact that she is naked with nothing but a bathrobe covering her skin. She hugged it tighter.

She turned around. And there she saw, what first she thought was a warlock, but then she realised no.. this is a demon with extreme human looks.

'You are-' Clary started.

'A demon.' He completed for her smiling.

Clary hesitated.

'What are you doing here? And what do you mean by darling?' She asked hijm sensing a bit of superiority.

'Hahaha.. oh Clary. I work here. Didn't you know? The darling thing was something I do with everyone but I wont with you if it offends you that much.' He told her.

'Work here? Hmm do you know how to make coffee?' she asked her. she didn't know why but she was having these inner thought that maybe this demon isn't so bad.

'Out of all the things if you ask for that.. sure I can.' He told her and started proceeding to the kitchen.

He took out coffee from somewhere Clary couldn't quite see.

'What is you rname?' she asked him while he was preparing her coffee.

'Sona.' The demon replied smiling. Clary smiled too.

'Well what do you do here? I mean your work.' Clary asked him.

'I work for the painting of darkness ma'am.' He told her.

Clary snorted.

'A painting needs a body guard?' she asked jokingly. But, sona's expression was veru serious while he spoke again.

'The painting is not an ordinary painting Clary. This painting was found by the first ever shadowhunter Jonathan shadowhunter and now after so many years it will be used by my master. This painting can show you your greatest fears and weaknesses. If your greatest fear or weakness overwhelms you due to flashbacks you die, if not you become wiser or may I say wisest. Such kind of things need guarding.' Sona finished handling Clary the coffee mug.

Clary took one sip, it was delicious.

'So, you are saying that the painting works like death?' Clary asked him.

'Not really, if you have enough willpower to not get overwhelmed by the things the painting shows you, you survive but if you don't well the painting sucks in your blood from the connected part of your body and keeps sucking until stopped by an external force.

Clary let that sink in, it totallty makes sense. Sebastian so vulnerable and kneeling down loosing blood in front of the painting due to his fears..

'But, I touched it and nothing happened. Just some wrong flashbacks that's it.'Clary told Sona.

He looked at her quizzically.

'Really Clary? Well that shouldn't have happened. Also, I recommend you not to touch it again, its dangerous you know.' He told her.

'I wont, but tell me why?'

'Well I do have a theory about that. Maybe you are on a mission, a mission in which you don't care about your life. Because you couldn't get overwhelmed by the painting it means that you are very brave and not easily tortured or looked down upon.' Sona told her.

'well, okay.. but then Sebastian was all kneeling down and loosing blood when he touched it-' sona cut in.

'You don't get it do you Clary? Sebastian has you now. He loves you and everything he thinks about now reflects you first from his point of view. Sebastian is in love and doubt that love overwhelms you like a swarm of whales overwhelms our little nemo.'

Sona continued.

'the painting is the only only thing in this whole world that can overwhelm a man in love. Even a small shred of that painting can eat him up like piece of cake. If there is anything that can stop a man in love from conquering the whole wide wide world its is the shred of paper Clary, only this.'

Clary let that sunk in, maybe that painting can conquer Sebastian when Jace has to find him. After all he was in love withb Clary.
