Chapter 4
Three Weeks Later
Jace now hung from the ceiling, and his left arm was broken. It just had to be his fighting arm. A few days ago Sebastian had come in, this time without the camera, and he let Magnus become visible again.
He said, "Well, little brother, it seems that your precious friends are on their way. That's okay though, because I think today is the last day you two are needed here. So, I say we have a fun little finale and then Ill be on my way. That sound good to everyone here?" He wasn't actually looking for answer, he just took sick pride in seeing Jace so beaten down, and the warlock so pissed.
What surprised the two captives is what he moved to do. He called his two demons in, and had them tie Jace to the ceiling and to strip his back of any clothing. It wasn't clear what he wanted to do until he pulled out the electrum wire whip.
"Sebastian, I know you feel the need to be a complete ass, but he cant take this, his body is too weak," Magnus tried to stop it from happening, but to no avail.
"Warlock, remind me why I gave your voice back? I know it wasn't for you to complain, so how about you shut up, "Sebastian replied.
He stepped behind Jace and whispered, "Good thing we still have that gag, we wouldn't want to disturb anyone." Then he began.
At first, Jace just lurched forward, not wanting to cry out. But at nine, he broke, and it was the worst sound Magnus had heard. Sebastian must have hit one of Jace's marks.
Sebastian didn't stop for half an hour, and at that point, Jace was unconscious. There was blood literally pooling below him.
"One and Two, would you see to it that his back is sterilized? We wouldn't want an infection, would we, Magnus?" Then he was gone, laughing the whole time.
Magnus was assuming that by sterile, they meant cleaning the blood off, but that want the case.
As Jace began to come back, they started dumping rubbing alcohol onto the cuts. Jace couldn't even scream his throat was so raw. It pained Magnus just to watch, as the boy convulsed from the pain and humiliation.
The two demons spat on him and left. Just like that, they were alone, and would be until someone came for them.
"Jace? It will be okay, Sebastian stopped whipping you in a rush, I have a feeling whoever is coming is close. Just try to stay awake, okay? Its almost over," Magnus tried to sooth him.
Jace barely nodded in response, his back still tingling, and then drooped again. He looked horrible, his hair was dirty and red, his back looked like a disaster, his left arm was bent funny and bruised, his legs and arms were laced with needle punctures, and his face was beaten so bad it look like a punching bag. That didn't even start on the display of his chest, that looked like a malfunctioning stove with burn marks and jagged cuts all down it.
Magnus hoped to above that someone would be here soon, because if nobody showed, Jace might not come back home with them.
-TIME SKIP-
They had been searching for what seemed like weeks, and were finally coming close to finding Jace and Magnus. Alec was very worried that Sebastian would be there waiting, but that wasn't the case.
They came upon the fortress early the next morning, only to see that there was nobody keeping watch. Luke walked ahead of everyone, just to be sure, and then he stumbled upon a note at the entrance. It read:
Whomever this concerns,
I know why you are most likely here, and I am stating it is okay for you to proceed. I am away on an important call, or what you would call a war. Of course I know I will only be met with confused towns people, but I wanted to humor you. I am done with the scum inside, so if you see anyone still here, you can kill them or keep them I don't really care.

Luke dropped the letter and they all ran in, searching for what they were hoping they would find.
Then, they cam upon a cellar entrance and went inside. After searching all of the cells, there was one still closed at the end, so that is where they went.
Once entering, they were stunned. Immediately after re composing themselves, Alec went to Magnus and Clary to Jace.
"Luke can get me undone, its Jace you need to take care of, hes not doing so well," Magnus said.
Luke walked over to Magnus, "What did he do to you two? Did he say what he wanted?"
"Unfortunately, he never taunted us with his motives, and the only thing he did was torment Jace. He asked me a few questions and when I didn't answer, he gave up, and threw me in here to watch," Magnus replied.
"Is there anything we should know about Jace? Like was there anything Sebastian did that seemed odd or should be treated now?" Luke asked.
"He punctured him, all over. Im going to need to test that, just to make sure the needles weren't poisoned. His left arm is broken, as you can probably see, and his back is shreds. Just get me out of here, and I will do what I can before we leave. But we also haven't eaten much for days, hes got to be exhausted." Magnus answered. Luke simply nodded and worked on freeing Magnus.
At this point, Jace was freed and Alec was attempting to heal him. It wasn't working."Magnus?! Jace isn't healing!"
Magnus ran over to the boys and focused energy on the puncture wounds, "He was poisoned, and that means all over his body, including his skull. Clary, could you draw a portal, we need to go now."
Luke picked Jace up, holding his stomach, "There are burns on his stomach, Magnus. No matter how I hold him, its not going to be comfortable."
"Well then lets move fast, before he wakes up." And then they were gone.
