Celine's POV

I feel like i've never trained this hard in my life, he was pushing my past my limits and what I thought was possible. Maybe the injury affected my performance physically, I doubted it, but that was all I could think of. My heart pounded, sweat trickled down my face as I weaved ducked and blocked the attack my father Sebastian hurled at me. I felt like I had never trained so hard in my life.

He woke me at dawn. Leading me outside for a run. I don't know how far we ran but I can tell you it felt like forever. After running I had a short breakfast of toast, before we went to the training room to work out. We fought together. Him hurling punches left right and centre. So fast I could barely comprehend the movement before his fist slammed into the side of my face. I staggered back, having to spin to keep my balance. I continued blocking punches until I had an idea. A move risky enough to make him think I would try it. And like me he wouldn't know it was coming until I hit him. I jumped. Propelling myself as high as I could spinning at a speed most shadowhunters couldn't comprehend. But my father wasn't just any shadowhunter. I lashed out. Throwing my leg out to the side in a sort of roundhouse style. This threw him of balance, almost to the floor. But not quite. He would never back down. I continued throwing kicks left right and centre with no real form. Aiming for anywhere that hurt. I was mid kick when he caught my leg and twisted it breaking in the process, consequently rendering kicking useless. Quick as lightning he kicked my legs out from under me, declaring himself the winner.

'We're going back to basics later,your fighting is sloppy and you have no technique.' Sebastian said. He tossed me a stele. 'Heal and wash yourself. Be ready in 1 hour to start with knives.' I took the stele and started drawing an iratze on my leg. Feeling the bones moulding back together. Satisfied that I was fine he got up. Stopping by the door.'lunch is in 30 minutes. Be ready.' And with that he left. Leaving me to find my own way around this place.


Sebastian's POV

She was good I'll give her that. But she'll be better with my training. And now she thinks I'm her dad, there'll be no wavering of allegiance. She'll be my weapon. Not just a physical one but by using her it will mess with their pysch. Now I have her, clary will come running. My dear sister and I, finally reunited like we should have always been. I walked into the conference hall and was met by Amatis, my second.

'We've found her my lord. She's in Brooklyn, living in a small apartment with Jace Herondale.'

'Good. Looks like we'll be taking a little trip to New York. I'll take Amatis and Markus with me. Have 10 on standby. We leave at dawn.'


Max's POV

I was in my room when I Heard the news. I was rooting through my stash of glitter in the loose floorboard under my bed. Not that anyone knew that. If I told Alec then he wouldn't really be ecstatic about my decision but if I told Magnus he would dress me in glitter from head to toe and I wouldn't be able to say otherwise. But what am I doing talking about my own problems? My best friend is missing and I'm sitting here debating my minor problems rather than getting out there and doing something. Right. That's it. We will get her back. No matter the cost. I walked it of my room and found Magnus Alec clary, Jace, Izzy, and Simon all crowded round the table. Deep in conversation. They hadn't noticed me come in yet so I merged into the shadows just like I had been taught.

'- have to get her back'

'How?'

'Magnus has already done a tracking spell in her so we know she is somewhere in Sweden.'

'Right well let's go get her!'

I went back to my room I went back to my room and rung up gabi. 'Hey. Gabi. Meet me in the institute library. ASAP. ' and with that I opened the door and stepped out into the cool air.
