Chapter 26- Her body.
Jonathon collapsed onto his shaky knees, "No, no, no, no, no, no" he kept mumbling as her crawled helplessly over to the broken girl. She lay there; fresh bruises and cuts, her lips and eyes swollen and purple, blood dribbling down from her broken nose and lifeless lips, her leg clearly broke as it bent the other way and her golden hair stained strawberry blonde from the blood that pooled from her wounds. Her eyes were closed, her chest no longer rising and falling, her heart beat had disappeared into the sea of the fallen. He cradled her head in his lap as tears streamed down his face and landed on her lifeless one. "No, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
He hadn't realised his father had come in until her heard his cold, heartless voice, "It had to be done." He ignored his father and continued to mourn his loss, "Jonathon." He ignored him once again, "Jonathon." Valentine gripped the grieving boy's chin, yanking it up so that he was looking at him and that's when he realises the real destruction he had caused as he saw the despair and heartache in his son's eyes, but quickly discarded the guilt that pulled at his heart. His eyes stayed stern but his voice soft, "Do you remember what I told you about my love for your mother?"
Jonathon stayed silent, physically, emotionally and mentally unable to reply.
Valentine let out a small sigh and told his son the one thing he's been telling him since he was a boy, "To love is to destroy." With that he dropped his hand from his son's chin and stormed out.
Jonathon looked back down at his broken angel, his mind blank and heart numb from pain. He suddenly stood up, no emotion in his face as he slowly walked out of the room, leaving his forbidden love behind as he made his way up to his room.
He looked in the mirror for a moment, his empty eyes staring back at his own empty eyes but then his voice came out cold and hard, "I am Jonathon Christopher Morgenstern, son of Valentine Morgenstern, one of the most powerful Shadowhunters of his generation. I am the boy with demon blood, the demon is within me, I am the demon. I am Jonathon Christopher Morgenstern."
