Chapter 3

Jaces throat was raw, and it wasn't from being ill. He has been left with the two maniacs for a week, and every time it progressively had been harsher and harsher. The gag was still in, and the only thing he could do was yell from behind it.

Occasionally, Sebastian would carry that camera back in, and burn Jace with a poker until he lost control of his heavenly fire. Then he would promise to put Magnus on him if he didn't say something to the camera. As much as he hated it, the bait was working. He did not want Magnus to be burned by his own hand.

So, at those moments, Sebastian would make a show of gripping Jace's head and yanking the gag out. Then he would burn him some more for the camera , and force a sentence out of him. Right after that, the camera would be shut off, and Sebastian would shove the gag back in and walk out.

Of course, the two demons seemed to have fun getting the heavenly fire back under control, only to torture him some more. They would hose him with freezing water and try to suffocate him. The only thing they didn't do was actually kill him.

Magnus had been sitting in his same part of the cell, no longer able to speak, because Sebastian had put a ward around him. Jace could only see still image of him, so he had no idea of what he was actually looking like now.

-TIME SKIP-

Alec, Isabelle, and Clary sat outside of the institute, as the adults had a meeting. Six days ago they had received a video, and that wouldn't be the last one. Clary couldn't watch more than a minute of it before she broke.

Her poor Jace, was now under the mercy of Jonathan. And it seemed that the amount of mercy being given was very little. He looked like he was fighting though, he simply smirked when Sebastian slapped him. But that had been days ago, and when they got another video this morning, he wasn't the same.

Everything was rougher, and Sebastian's patience had been wearing thin. Jace no longer had a shirt, really, and his skin was covered in blood and grime.

Luke had watched dispassionately, and Clary could tell he hated to see it. He was beginning to consider Jace almost as a son, and the videos were only pain. Thats what they were for everyone.

The Institute, along with the Clave, decided the war would be announced within the week. While that would distract Sebastian, the teens had their own plan.

When everyone left for the staged war, Luke, Alec, Isabelle, and Clary would be off to get the angel and the warlock. They knew they were running out of time.
