Chapter 2

As many times as Clary had traveled through a portal, she had never gotten use to falling through mid-air. It felt as if the world was weightlessness and she was being tossed everywhere around it. She closed her eyes and waited for the impact, curling up into a ball as she hit the ground with a loud thud. Her knees gave out from under her and she landed onto her back feeling the cold, hard, surface beneath. She struggled to breathe while the wind was knocked out of her and looked at the surroundings before her. Grasslands stretched for miles on her right, with a few small oak trees here and there. On her left across from the hills, a dark ocean stood in the distance at least 100 feet below, and she noticed a small cottage built on the sand.

Somehow, Sebastian had landed onto his feet in a matter of seconds and was walking towards her.

He grinned, a devilish smile spreading across his face as he looked down at her. "Having trouble getting up on our feet little sis?"

Clary stood up and spat at him. He backed away in disgust, and then smirked as he knew she could not speak, nor free herself or look for help when there was nowhere to go.

"Well that wasn't what I was hoping for, but you'll learn." At that, Sebastian grabbed her by the arm and began to drag her across the grass.

Clary kicked him in the stomach and tried to release his grip on her, but it just gave him a look of annoyance instead of anger or surprise. He threw her across the ground and she connected with an oak tree. If she could've cried out, she would've. The pain in the back of her head was excruciating. She struggled to find anything she could use against him and quickly grabbed a huge branch torn from one of the oak trees. He chuckled as she gripped the branch and pointed it straight at him. She knew her efforts were useless as he flung the branch away like it was a small toothpick, and gripped her chin so she would face him.

"You will obey me Clary." Sebastian snarled, "Either by force and punishment or by your own will, but you will obey me." His look was murderous and his eyes were as black as the night he had attacked her in the house he kept Jace and her in.

She gave him a look of hatred and wished she could scream at him but no sounds came out of her mouth. He took notice in this and spoke, "The silence rune I put on your arm should wear off in an hour but don't give me a reason to change my mind and give you another one that can last up to days."

She cringed at the thought of being alone with Sebastian for days. Jace had probably already gone mad knowing she had disappeared. Poor Jace, she thought. Hopefully he would find the rune on her bedroom wall and know Sebastian had taken her and would come looking for her. Of course he will, she thought. It's Jace for Christ's sake.

Pulling Clary out of her thoughts, Sebastian flung her over his shoulder and continued to walk towards the way he had before. Clary's head was throbbing wildly and in a last attempt to free herself she punched Sebastian in the back of the head. He took surprise in this and let her go, as she crumbled to the ground. She tried to get up, but all she could see was darkness as she felt a cool liquid running down the back of her head. The last thing she saw was Sebastian's hands once again grabbing her as she let the darkness overcome her and fall into a deep sleep.


"Clary!" the fear in Jace's voice was clearly noticeable as he dashed through her room in a matter of seconds.

Frantically looking around hoping to see her walking out of the bathroom, Jace was left with disappointment as she did not appear. His heart suddenly felt hollow and he knew she wasn't in the Institute anymore. He always knew when she wasn't near him. He got an aching feeling in his chest as if half of him was missing. She was his other half. He needed her like air and ever since the night in Idris where she brought him back from the dead, he knew she needed him too.

"Jace," Isabelle was panting as she entered Clary's room. Alec was at her side a second later. Clearly, Jace noticed he had to have moved at an amazing speed to wind Isabelle, much the less, Alec.

"She's not in here Jace," Isabelle panted, "She wasn't when we first heard the explosion. That's what we were trying to explain to you!"

"Well, knowing how stubborn Jace is, I guess we shouldn't be so surprised," Alec shot Jace a glare and Jace shrugged it off. He had no time to deal with this right now. He needed to find Clary.

"The wall," Isabelle moved over to the wall across Clary's bed. She touched a familiar rune carved in a dark form.

"Someone wasn't here to hurt you Jace," Alec stated, "it was…"

"A distraction," Jace blurted out in realization. "They weren't after any of us… but Clary," his fists clenched up at his sides as he said the last few words.

"Do you think?..." Isabelle questioned

"Sebastian," Jace snarled as he said his name. "There's no one else who would want to take her. If it's anybody, it'd be him." Jace despised Sebastian with pure hatred. After everything he had done to him and Clary, binding him to Sebastian and forcing Clary to live with him and Jace while he was possessed, he vowed he would kill him and watch for the second time as he did so.

"We have to tell the Clave," Alec said as he began to write a fire message.

Jace walked over to Clary's bed and looked at the brown nightstand right next to it. On it laid her cell phone, her sketch book, and a picture of her and Jace. She was wearing the beautiful dress she had worn at the celebration in Idris after Valentine and his army had fallen. Jace loved that dress. The way it made her curves become more evident and brighten her hair, sped his heart up.

She is so beautiful. He thought silently to himself.

He noticed they were both watching the fireworks from the sky, well… at least Clary was. There was a smile on her face as Jace was holding her around the waist and he was smiling as he looked down at her. He wondered what Clary thought when she looked into this photo every night before going to bed. If she could truly see how much he loved her just by the look in his eyes.

"Jace…" Isabelle said, shaking him out of his thoughts. He set the photo down and looked up. "Jace, we have to go see her…." Isabelle trailed off in silence as Jace understood who she wouldn't name.

"The Seelie Queen," Alec said without hesitating.

"There must be someone else…"

"Jace, no. We have to go see her," Isabelle looked him straight in the eyes. "She's the only one with valuable information about Sebastian. And ever since Clary told us she found out the Seelie Queen had been keeping tabs on her and Simon and siding with Sebastian, she had disappeared and gone more underground than ever. Clearly, if she wanted to talk with Clave about Sebastian's master plans, she would've by now. That leaves it up to us to go find her and figure out where Clary is. She's our only hope at the moment."

Jace stood quietly and walked over to the window. Alec leaned up against the wall as he watched Jace carefully before hearing him make his decision. They all knew that whenever visiting the Seelie Queen and asking for a favor, a heavy price would always have to be paid.

"Alright," Jace said quietly, "But there's someone we have to call first." He pulled out his phone and pushed the first number he had on speed dial.

"Hello?" the voice on the other end was groggily and he could tell that they had been sleeping.

"Simon," Jace said firmly. "We have a situation."
