An: Hi again! I've decided that I want this story to be finished by the time that CoHF comes out. I don't know if I'll be able but, I will try. So... One word this chapter: Malec. No more words needed. I'll keep it short (have to learn Geography :( ) By the way: only one person (stelena-forever-and-okay) guessed the song! :o Well it was a bit hard, wasn't it? It was 'A drop in the ocean' by Ron Pope...
Next try (a bit easier this time):
Ch5: Something in the way you move makes me feel like I can't live without you.
Hint: Drake, David Guetta, Eminem (- have all worked with R...)
Disclaimer: Do not own TMI, never have, never will.
Chapter 5: defending love (1.842 :p)
"Wait!" Alec and Magnus looked surprised, the guy and Robert looked taken back. She finally realised were she knew the guy of when she saw him from up close.
Clary stalked over at the group and stood face to face with Robert and the guy. "You!" She pointed at Robert and gave him a murderous glare.
"You think that you're better! Better than everyone in this room! You are wrong! You want to revenge Valentine, don't you? But You are exactly the same! You think of Downworlders as filthy objects that you can use and then throw away or that they are diseases, filthy horrible ones! You think you own your children. That they are puppets that you can command around! That makes you horrible, and worse than anybody else." Clary resisted the urge to slap him. He totally didn't look impressed. Clary breathed in and set an 'scary calm' look on.
"You know what is the worst part? Isabelle and Alec adored you. They spoke so highly of you and I could imagine you then as the perfect kind father who cares about his children! And even now they care, but you don't care about them, do you?" He palled and at those words he looked as if he was slapped across the face. This satisfied Clary a little.
"You are a monster if you even consider throwing your own child in a prison if he didn't even has done anything wrong. You know, Jace almost died after spending one night at the City of Bones. But of course you don't, how should you know? You weren't there to see how the flesh of his wrist was gone because of the handcuffs he had on. You weren't there when he needed help. You weren't there when Alec almost died and Magnus saved him. You weren't there when Iz felt guilty because she thought that Max's death was her fault, Si was. You weren't there when all your children needed your help. You were probably too busy screwing that slut of you here while your wife was worrying about your children. You are so selfish." Robert looked down, feeling guilty as hell probably. Good, he should, Clary thought. Clary turned to the other person now.
"And I understand you. You only got dragged in this, didn't you? I know you. I saw your picture in Ragnor's house." After the war was over in Idris, Clary had returned to Ragnor's house to take another look at it. She hoped to find some pictures of her grandparents seeing that her mom's family was very close with this warlock but she ended up finding a picture where Ragnor and this guy were smiling at each other. Not a friendly smile but one you have when you look at someone you love.
"But they also talked about people of the Clave a lot in the Academy. People like you, Jacobus. I know they offered you a job in the Clave if you stopped seeing Ragnor. You did it since you knew if you didn't except they would cut you out of the Shadow world and then you would have to live as a Mundane. But what I don't understand is that after everything you've been through with him you still blamed the Downworlders for the things that went wrong. In all those years you worked for the Clave you just let them do projects on them or let them kill Downworders. You should've have fought for your love in the beginning or at least let the Downworlders alone now. " She looked at them both with pure disgust. Robert was looking at her with worry, how did she knew all of this? Jacobus looked like he wnted to go back in time and turn it back around. She didn't knew how guilty he felt about it every day.
"I'll tell you this, All the Downworlders I know are ten times better then you two. You two are disgusting. You two are big hypocrites to give Alec such a punishment since, first Robert, you cheated on your wife. Which is, if I remember good, also completely against God's will! And you, Jacobus, were in exactly the same position once. And you regretted what you had done when you heard he died, isn't it?" Both guys were speechless at everything Clary had said. The wheels in Roberts mind were turning around and around. He didn't even thought about what he had done anymore. The only thoughts in his mind were: If she knows all of that what if she knows more? Jacobus swallowed.
"You're right, Clarissa. I honestly admire these two. When I heard Ragnor had died I was broken. I thought it was my fault. I was about to quit my job when Robert came to me and threatened to take my life if I wouldn't work with him. So I did. But I'm utterly disgusted by myself because of that. I wanted to stop, already a long time ago but once you start it's so difficult to get out of it." He looked down. Clary walked towards him and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Go now, it's not too late yet. Maybe you'll have to live as a Mundane but everything is better than doing what you're doing now. I promise you they won't find you. Go!" With that Jacobus ran away. Clary turned to Robert again, who was still deep in thoughts.
"I still can't believe what you've done. That you can do that to all those children all because you hate Valentine for what he has done to you. That's why you wanted to keep us all apart, didn't you? You were afraid we would start another Circle, but way more powerful than Valentine's. That's why you threatened Alec. That's why you want Si. And that's why you got me send to the academy." Robert was extremely pale right now. He was sure now that she really knew everything. All his plans and all the horrible things he had done.
"Hhow... do you know?" He stuttered. Clary put her hand on her hip and raised her eyebrows (since she still couldn't raise one).
"Seriously? Maybe next time you should be careful to where you leave your journal. But I would have figured out, I'm not stupid you know." Robert shook his head. This girl was a huge danger, he had known it all along but he thought that sending her to the Academy would stop her being a threat. Oh how he had been wrong! It only made her stronger and a bigger threat.
"I never thought you was, Clarissa. I just underestimated you. Everybody did. They all thought you would side with your father and when you murdered him we thought it was over. They never thought you were prepared to fight your own battles." Clary narrowed her eyes. Thinking about what stood in his journal.
"But you did, didn't you? You already suspected something when Valentine died. You thought I killed him, that's why you let them torture it out of me how I did it. You look surprised. Didn't thought I would remember it, did you? First I didn't but later I did. Now I at least know it was you're idea." He sighed. Robert saw that this girl had potential, potential for being a leader. That was something he tried to avoid but her love was stronger than anything and that's what was making her so strong.
"I still wonder how you did it. I don't believe it that you just killed him or that Jonathan did. You both were to weak." Clary laughed. Her laugh was not filled with humour but with hate.
"Of course we didn't. Jace was dead and I was almost.'', She murmured. "It was kind of ironic. You know the saying, Karma's a bitch? Well that's what happened. Sure I helped a bit but it was Valentine's own fault. He shouldn't have been so stupid to do what he did. The same with you, karma will get you but I want to help, really. And this time I'm not weak." She said louder now. Clary walked closer to Robert and he gulped. Nobody had really paid attention on what she first had said about her and Jace.
"Don't think I'll ever let you touch Si. I know what you wanted to do with him and you're never going to get it. I promise you that. And why don't we make a deal? Stay out of our lives, Mine and my family's, your family's and all my friend's. I won't let you ruin Iz and Simon's or Magnus and Alec's relationship like you ruined mine and Jace's. If you do that everybody will know of your dirty secret and if you don't I will leave you alone. Got it?" He nodded quickly. You couldn't imagine how scary she looked at that moment.
"You're pathetic, really. Now go! I don't want to see your face again. Ever." He nodded again and ran away. Clary turned to Magnus and Alec and hugged them tightly. She let a tear slip.
"Guys, are you okay?" She asked. Magnus let go of her for a moment and put his hands on her shoulder.
"You ask if we are okay? You saved us girl! You were amazing there! We love you, Clary!" Clary smiled softly and hugged them again.
"Alec, I'm sorry about all the things I said to him. I know you love him. '' Alec waved it away.
"It's nothing really. He needed to face his faults, I'm just glad you saved us. And just one last thing, what is his secret you were talking about?" Clary shook her head.
"I promised him I wouldn't tell anybody as he left us alone. I'm keeping my side of the deal, it's his responsibility to keep his. Now come on, let's go home!" Clary grabbed Alec's and Magnus's hand and pulled them with her. Clary drew a portal.
Magnus smiled slightly as she walked through the portal. "What are you smiling at?" Alec asked out of curiosity.
"Well, I think our little redhead isn't that little anymore. She became very wise while she was gone." That was a true fact, even Alec saw it but Magnus feared something: How did she gain it? She probably had been through awful things, alone, he could see it in her eyes.
"Yeah and she also isn't that red anymore. Magnus, jealous maybe?" Alec winked at Magnus. Magnus laughed.
"No, of course not. She may be wise but I have the most incredible thing in the world that she hasn't." Alec frowned and then he said, "Oh right you have magic and she doesn't."
Magnus walked to the portal and turned around one last time just to say," True but also I have you, my own Alexander Gideon Lightwood. She doesn't have that." After that he walked through the portal.
With a deep blush and hugely grinning Alec following him.
