As Issabelle waited for Simon it had began to rain. She sat on the top of the steps watching the mundanes pass by without a second glance at the institute. Rain soaked through Issabelles clothing but she didn't care, all she could think about was Simon. After a few more minutes familiar voice grabbed Issabelles attention.
"Issabelle." Simon called.
Issabelle jumped up, ran through the institute gates straight into Simon arms. "Simon, your here" she whispered. She pulled away from him slightly but still remained in his arms. Issabelle looked into Simon eyes. "Of course I am Issabelle"
Issabelle leant forward and pulled Simons lips onto hers. She slid her hands around his neck and pressed her body against his. She loved the way Simon kissed her, he kissed her as if she was fragile and delicate. Simons hands pulled Issabelles hips against his before one letting his hands slide up her back. The rain poured of their faces, coating their lips as the kissed. Issabelle parted from Simons lips, she was breathless, her heart pounded in her chest. "Simon" she breathed "go to the downworlder entrance we can talk in there. I'll meet you in five minutes." Without giving him time to reply she pulled away and ran into the institute.
Jace had been stood at the library window watching Issabelle and Simon. His heart shattered seeing them together, holding the person they love, wrapped up in each other's arms and never wanting to let go of the person they love. Jace knew there was a chance he would never be able to hold Clary like that again. His hands clenched at his sides he knew he she feel angry, hurt and upset but now he just felt numb. Without Clary by his side he felt empty and unable to function without her. After Watching Issabelle run back into the institute he knew she was bring Simon in the downworlder entrance, so he stepped away from the window and set off the join the couple realising that Simon did not know that Clary is missing.
Jace caught up to Issabelle just before she went through the door to the downworlder entrance. "Wait Issy" he shouted, "Simon doesn't know everything yet.. he doesn't know Clarys missing, I haven't had time to tell him yet. It's difficult". Issabelle shook her head. "It will break his heart. Clary is like a sister to him, how do we tell him, I barley understand it myself." she stuttered tears welled up in her eyes. Jace took hold of her hand and squeezed it tightly. "I don't understand it either but we need to tell him Issy." Issabelle nodded her head slightly and together they walked through the door way towards simon.
They stepped into the room and walked over to Simon, Issabelle tried to hide her tears but her emotions where too strong. Simon pulled her towards him and wrapped her up in his arms. Simon turned to speak to Jace "Where's Clary is she alright?" but before Jace spoke Simon knew his answer wasn't going to be a good one. "She gone.." Jace answered "Somebody took her." he couldn't bring himself to look at Simon.
"What the do you mean she's gone? why aren't we out looking for her?" Simon protested. Jace shook his head "I could have died... the warlock cracked my skull. I don't remember it though. we don't know where Clary is." as he spoke Jace felt disappointed more and more disappointed with himself although this situation wasn't his fault. Simon was angry but maintained his thoughts. "What do we do now? do you think she's..." Simon fumbled over his words but Jace finished his sentence for him. "Alive? yes he wants something from her. he wants the baby."
"In case you're not aware of the things I've gone through I can assure you that I'm fully aware that the truth is not pretty!" Clary shouted. "I don't understand, On one had you've kidnapped me and on the other you make a glamour of my original room to make me comfortable? Why don't you tell me the truth, Why am I here?" Clary slammed her cutlery down on her plate and folded her arms. "Tell me the truth not riddles!".
Jacob looked towards Clary but his expression did not change he remained calm and barley even flinched. "Once Valentine started to experiment with demon blood he needed somebody to be his guinnipig but he needed to use somebody with angel blood to experiment on." he took a deep breath before he continued. "My brother and I never got along, Our mother knew he was hiding dark secrets she was scared of him. Scared of her own son. I confronted my brother about his behaviour but it did not end well. He knocked me out cold and locked me in a room. A basement to be exact. He told my mother I had died in a tragic accident and kept me there for many years." Clary interrupted him, "In the Wayland manor house. I've been there." with barley even a acknowledgement that Clary had spoken he began talking again.
"Once he was able to abstract demon blood he started injecting it into me. He would bleed out all of my angel blood so I had only pure demon blood in my system. He wasn't happy with the results, even with the mortal cup he could never fully control me as my angel blood reproduced I was able to defy him, resist his commands. Eventually all the demon blood would leave my system and once it did. he tried over and over again but always got the same results." Looking at his niece he could see the confusion in her eyes. "It sounds impossible but Valentine found a way to give me powers which the demon blood contained but it came at a price. One that you are going to pay Clarissia."
"I don't understand, I thought valentines experiments failed before the mortal war took place. Why didn't he use you if the demon blood gave you their abilities?" She asked. Clary was much calmer than before, the overload of information was hard to process.
"Although in so ways his experiment was a failure but in others it was not. As he grew stronger my brother learnt how to trap demons, keep them help within a object so their power could always be harnessed. Without their defiance. As you know Clarissia demons cannot technically die, so the power is consistent. Valentine Managed to capture a greater demon and trap it with in a small diamond. He chose a diamond because they are almost impossible to destroy. By placing the diamond inside someone that person is able to harness the demons power as and when they choose to." He paused and looked door. "That is enough for one day I believe. If you need anything just knock." Jacob rose from his seat and walked towards the door.
"No please wait I don't understand, I'm not being defiant against you please tell me the truth." she asked. Her voice contained fear and panic 'How is this possible and what does it have to do with me' she thought. Questions and facts spun around in her head causing confusion and disbelief. in a click of his finger she was frozen, unable to move of speak all she could do was watch her uncle.
"Clarissia I have said that is enough for one day! You shall listen to me and obey me child or I will take your comforts away and leave you in a cell with nothing but concrete walls! I don't want to hear you for the rest of the day, if you shout or knock there will be consciences! Don't test my hostility Clarissia Morgensteine." Jacob yanked the door open and stepped out of the room, with another click of his fingers Clary was free to move again but before she even drew a breath the door had slammed and she was alone.
