JPOV:
I can see the sun rising up over the hills across the city. I haven't stopped running since I made the decision to save Clary now and not wait. I know how stupid this was but Alec and Izzy don't understand I saw how terrified she was when she explained what happened there. And now that he has her back he is probably taking out his frustration out on her. I can't just sit around while she is being abused. I need to do something and this is me doing something.
CPOV:
The hallway is silent. I have no idea where Valentine is but I hope that I will be far gone before he realizes that I have escaped. Again. I limp down the hallway biting my lip to keep myself from making any noises out of pain. I can't use an iratze because all they used was demonic weapons. They will have to heal on their own, this is only going to slow me down and make it impossible to fight Valentine if I have too. I can barely see where I am going but I have these hallways mapped out in my head. Right about now I am two doors down from the kitchen which means I am halfway to the rune locked door. Which normally would be an issue but now sense I stole Jonathan's steele, again, I can unlock it with a simple open rune. I hear faint footsteps behind me like a cat stalking their prey. I stop dead in my tracks and slowly turn around to find the one and only Valentine. My father.
JPOV:
I can see the Morgenstern Manor in my field of vision now. It's only probably 3 miles out. When I see that my adrenaline goes into overtime. I sprint as fast as I have ever run before to the manor, to my love.
CPOV:
I pick out some demon blades and whips and assume the fighting stance, I know I have already lost this battle before it began but I'm hoping I can at least do some damage to him. "Well Clarissa are you ready to fight to your death just like your mother?" He spat at me. Throwing out my mother to piss me off and get me to do something impulsive. It's a good thing I don't because I already have the disadvantage here no need to add to it. "Well maybe I can actually finish the job." I say with not a lot of power because to be honest I feel lightheaded and dizzy already. I decide if I am going to make a move I need to make it now. So I take the dagger and throw it aiming for his heart but he is too fast and moves out of the way last second for drama I suppose. I then take the whip and hope to grab his wrist and bring him down so I can finish it off but he beats me to it he throws a dagger straight into my throwing arm. I scream out in pain.
JPOV:
I am so close now. I am a half a mile away when I hear a bloodcurdling scream. I pump my legs faster because I can pick out her voice anywhere and that means Clary is there and she's hurt. I reach the door and it's locked so I pull out my steele and trace the opening rune against the lock. It opens with a pop and I push through the door to see the damage. Clary laying on the floor in a pool of blood and so does Valentine. My heart feels like someone has ripped it out of my chest. I am too late, she's dead. I feel water pouring down my face and it takes me a while to realize I am crying. I have been frozen in my spot for ten minutes now. I crumble to the ground and I lose all control. That's when Izzy, Alec, and Luke come in and see her lifeless body. Izzy sits next to me and wraps her arms around my shoulders and normally I would shrug her off but I just lean into her shoulder and for once in my life I cry.
