more than you could ever know

by Darkheart226

My leg was yanked out from under me, the man who cut me earlier stood over me. He looked like any other man. But I knew better.I realised who he was from all the pictures. The man all assumed dead just like they dead. Just like they did his father. 'Don't worry little one,' He said 'For our blood I will be merciful.' and that was the last thing I remembered, Before I blacked out.

Chapter 4

Clary's POV

She was my only baby, my girl, and she was gone. It was Alec who had called me, not Jace. I suppose he was too overcome with emotion. Right now I was with Jace. My body fitting perfectly against jim like a puzzle, even after all these years. His shoulder was wet from where I had been crying into him. At first I felt only remorse, then empty. That feeling was the worst. Now I felt anger and determination.

'I will get her back,' I whisper softly into his ear.

'Yes we will,' I hear him say back to me. It was just so comforting to hear him say that. Especially since he shared my grief, my sadness, my emptiness, although looking at him I think he's still at the anger stage. I close my eyes and let my head fall against his chest. I can hear heartbeat in a steady rhythm. His strong arms wrap around my waist holding me tight, willing me to push through this, willing me to be strong. I nuzzle my head deeper into his chest. I will be strong. I don't have much of a choice. I must be strong. For Celine. I feel the silk blanket over us, how long have I been here? 20 minutes? 2 hours? I don't know. I grow tired, but I don't try to fight it this time. The mattress is warm and being with Jace is like having my own personal heater. I let the sensation wash over me. I welcome sleep, It's been a long time since we were together like this. His lips brush my head as he plants a kiss there. I love him so much. I pull the blankets up to my neck and halfway up Jace's chest. It's so unfair how he's so much taller than me. I let the sleep come. It has been a long day, and the ones that follow are likely to be tougher than this. But that is for later. For now, I will simply drift off to my own little world.

Sebastian's POV

There was a knock at my door. Who dares interrupts me?! I sniff the air, trying to catch a scent. Trying to identify who it was. Amatis. 'Come' I say. She walks through the door, her head down as she bow before me.'There has been no improvement with your niece my lord.' she said.'She is still unconscious.' It had been 3 days,Markus didn't even knock her out that hard.I really don't understand what's taking her so her parents taught her to be stronger than this. No matter, I will train her to be better.

'Any news on my sister?'

'She is still yet to be found, my lord.'

I must say she is hiding rather well,even if they do believe me to be dead. Maybe they are hiding themselves from something else, or someone. I'll have to look into that.

'You may go.' she stood up and bowed before retreating out of the room. My sister might have betrayed me , but she will be my queen. She will learn to love me, she just doesn't know it yet.
