A/N Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

So what's up, cupcakes?

As you may have known, I was away for a week and I told you guys I'd have several chapters ready.

I lied.

I was super busy and I only got one done but it's moderately long so :)

Okay, time for the review shoutouts! I used to do like everyone who reviewed but now I think I'll just randomly choose(:

Morbidoscity: You are so right! She isn't weak! I had a different idea for this chapter but once I read your review, this just came out.

Avaatquevale2250: You should write your own fanfic! I'd SO read it! Thanks for reviewing :)

D: I love Clebastian too! 3

So yeah. Here's chapter…. 6? Okay. Here's chapter 6!

Sebastian shoved his sister down the stairs. Clary stumbled and lost her balance, but right before she hit the stone, Sebastian grabbed the collar of her shirt and pulled her to her feet.

Clary felt her brothers hand push her down the stairs again. "Keep walking." He commanded. Just to prove a point, Clary stopped and Sebastian ran into her. "Keep walking!" The demon grabbed Clary's arm and threw her down the rest of the stone stairs. Clary landed on her knees, trying to avoid a broken wrist.

She could feel her brothers smirk behind her. "Why didn't you just throw me down at the beginning? Would've saved me time." Clary said, not looking at him. Sebastian didn't wait for Clary to get on her feet. He grabbed a fistful of her wild red hair and dragged her to a wooden chair. Clary used every bit of her willpower to not cry out in pain.

Strength. Be strong. She told herself.

Clary sat in the chair, avoiding looking at her boyfriend who was a few feet in front of her. Sebastian smacked Clary once. She didn't want to, but she flinched.

"Now, sister. Because I'm feeling especially generous today, I'll let you choose the weapon I'll use on Jace first!" He smiled a wicked smile.

Clary bit her lip and went over to the table holding all of Sebastian's torture devices. She tried to look for the most non-painful weapon there. They all looked equally painful.

Clary picked up a small knife. She examined the blade, which had spots of dried blood on it. She slipped the knife into her jeans pocket, hoping her brother wouldn't notice.

"Clary, hurry up. I'm growing impatient."

Clary snuck a look at Jace. He was watching her with dead eyes. Clary knew her boyfriend had seen what she slipped into her pocket. Jace shook his head slightly, as if saying no to her plan.

Yes, it was crazy. And it probably wouldn't work. And it was so predictable.

"Clary." Sebastian snapped. "Just pick a damn weapon."

Clary gave Jace the smallest smile.

It will work. Clary chanted. It will work.

"Sebastian?" Clary called for him in her most innocent voice. "What's this called?" She held up a long, pointed thing.

"That," Sebastian walked over to Clary. "Is a very painful weapon. You should put it down." Clary set it down carefully.

Wait. Clary demanded herself when she realized how close her brother. Wait until he is completely unaware.

That moment never came. Because when Sebastian reached Clary, he put an arm around her shoulders. "Now, before you hurt anyone, put the knife away."

Clary panicked. She spun away from her brother, leaving him stumbling towards the ground. She seized the dagger from her pocket and yelled as loud and powerfully as she could. "AMRIEL!"

Clary swung at her brother, barley grazing his chest. Sebastian looked at her in amusement. "Clary." His eyes scanned the table of weapons, when he found a particularly ugly and painful looking sword his eyes shone in excitement. "You know what's going to happen?" Clary stood her ground, still in a fighting position.

"You're going to fight me, possibly cut my skin but you can't do much more than that. I'm going to fight back, in self-defence." Clary snorted at this. Sebastian continued. "I will hurt you. Then, when you are on the ground, bleeding and dying, I will kill Jace and make you watch. When you only have seconds to live, I will save your life. From that point I will lock you in your room for the rest of your life. Do you think that is worth your petty attempt to save you and Jace?"

Clary glared at her brother. "So worth it."

Clary lunged for the demon. Sebastian, taken by surprise, fell backwards. He quickly regained his balance and pointed the sword at his sister. "Have it your way, little sister."

Clary ducked Sebastian's first swing, but was caught on his second. Her right arm started bleeding right away, staining her black t-shirt. Clary dropped to the floor and rolled towards the table, hoping for a better weapon. She heard footsteps pounding behind her. Clary spun around to face Sebastian. She threw the knife like Jace had taught her. Clary swore she saw a faint smile on her boyfriend's face. Sebastian moved, but a bit too slowly. The knife buried itself in Sebastian's shoulder. Sebastian stopped to pull the knife out, giving Clary enough time to find a sword matching Sebastian's and several more knives.

"Nice throw, sis. Your dead boyfriend teach you to throw like that?" Sebastian asked Clary.

"He's not dead." The red-headed shadowhunter snapped.

"Yet."

Sebastian tossed the knife, now covered in his blood, across the room. He turned back to his sister. "Are you ready to quit yet?"

"Are you ready to quit yet?" Clary replied.

Sebastian laughed. "I'll take that as a no."

Sebastian charged at his sister, grabbing her and slamming her into the wall. Clary collapsed against it, sinking to her knees. The sword Clary had was out of her reach now. Sebastian walked towards her. Everything was in slow motion.

Sebastian was 5 feet away.

He gripped his sword.

4 feet away.

Clary grabbed a knife from her pocket.

3 feet away.

Clary tried to stand but her legs weren't listening.

2 feet away.

It was over. He won.

1 foot away.

Clary could smell the drying blood on Sebastian.

Sebastian grabbed Clary's arm, the one that wasn't cut. He lifted her and held her against the wall.

"You know what this reminds me of?" Sebastian asked. Clary could hear the annoyance and anger in his voice. "The apartment. The day before we went to the Seventh Sacred Site." Sebastian grinned, his mouth was completely red with blood. "You really wanted to kill me, didn't you? But you couldn't."

"Didn't we already establish this?" Clary snapped. She didn't know if it came out strong and intimidating though, since she was so out of breath.

"So what's stopping you now?"

"You." Clary looked him directly in the eye.

"Ahh, yes." Sebastian said, like the fight happened 20 years ago and now it was just a fond memory.

Clary felt the dagger in her hand. She twisted her wrist so she had a direct shot at her brother's stomach.

"But if you thought for even a second that you could kill me." He shook his head, laughing silently. "You've never been more wrong in your life."

"I don't want to kill you." Clary told him, trying to make it sound believable. "I just want to get Jace and go home. But if killing you is what it comes to..." Clary moved the knife forward into Sebastian.

Her brother dropped her and yelled, probably more in surprise than pain.

As soon as Clary's feet hit the ground she ran towards Jace, stopping only to grab her fallen sword.

When she reached her boyfriend, she immediately began cutting the ropes that held Jace up. "Not...enough...time..." Jace told her, sounding like he just ran a marathon. "Just...go..." Clary continued cutting the ropes. "No, Jace. I won't leave you." Clary heard Sebastian stand up. "Go Clary... Please..." Clary nodded, hearing the pain and urgency in Jace's voice. "I'll get Isabelle and Alec and I'll be back to get you. I won't leave you here." Jace nodded. Clary saw Sebastian start walking towards Clary with fire in his eyes. Clary leaned back to Jace. "I promise." And she ran.
