AN: Woo I almost wasn't able to get this up! My house was extra messy because my husband decided to do nothing while I worked last night so I had a lot of cleaning to do. But my kid's decided to be nice and nap for me for once so I got it done a lot quicker. So here is Chapter ten, it might be a little shorter than it had been lately, sorry!
Chapter 10
Jonathan paced back and forth as he looked at the deathly pale girl laying on his bed. The stupid girl thought should could up and kill herself! Jonathan stopped his pacing and leaned over to check her pulse again, it was slow but still there. He sighed in relief as he ran a hand threw his hair. Healing runes wouldn't work on self-inflected wounds and Patrick had been taken by Magnus so he didn't have anyone to heal her. He could use demon's help but he didn't want to taint her with that just yet, only if she was very very close to dying. Jonathan had gotten her in time to put pressure on the wounds and try and stop the bleeding. One of his shadow hunters stitched up the wounds and went to go raid some Mundie hospital for some supply's to help heal her. He had been gone for over an hour now, he was started to get impatient. Jonathan looked up as his man walked into the room.
"I got some stuff master." The man put a bunch of stuff onto the bed. Some bandages and gauze, some pill bottles and creams.
"So what is everything?" Jonathan asked he wasn't sure what everything was and what it was for. The man picked up one of the bottles.
"This is pain medication for when she wakes up and her arms are sore." Next he picked up the other bottle.
"This one is antibiotics so she won't get an infection." He pointed to the cream.
"That's to rub on her wounds after we can take out the stitching; it helps with the healing and helps to prevent some of the scaring." He pointed to the bandages and gauze.
"And clearly you know what that stuff is. Also I couldn't seem to get any blood, I couldn't find it." Jonathan nodded stiffly.
"Okay change her bandages and give her some of those medications, I am going to see about getting my warlock back here so he can heal her." Jonathan strode out of the room shutting the door behind him; he walked down the long corridor to his office and walked in shutting the room behind him. It had been Jonathan's plan for Patrick to get kidnapped; he wanted the man to find out as much as he could about what the other side was planning before Jonathan was going to pull him back. He had been hoping to leave him there a little longer but this was more important at the moment, Clary wasn't going to get off that easy. He walked over to his desk and opened the bottom drawn, inside was a big clear globe. Patrick gave it to him; he was able to summon the man to him with it. Jonathan put it on his desk and pulled out the other box inside the drawn. It was a powder of sorts; Jonathan didn't know what it was. But Patrick had told him what to do so he sprinkled it on top of the globe and then he pictured where he was as he picked up the globe and shook it. Suddenly it changed from being clear to looking like a map of the world. Jonathan watched it whiz around until it stopped at Ireland, and then it zoomed in until it was located at the town then it zoomed in even more until it pinpointed the exacted location. He heard a long whizzing noise and suddenly the globe was burning hot and Jonathan dropped it onto his desk, moments later there was a loud bang and Patrick was laying on the floor of his office. Jonathan noted that the man was tied up so he leaned down and started undoing the roped as the man looked up at him.
"Sorry I had to bring you back early, something pressing has happened here." Jonathan started as he pulled a knife off his desk and started cutting the ropes instead.
"Good thing you did master, they are almost here. Magnus had truth powder and he got most of the information out of me. We need to move this house again sir!" Patrick said in his heavy accent and sat up as the ropes feel off him. Jonathan looked up him surprised.
"WHAT!?"
oOoOoO
Jace was resting on the side of the truck as it bumped along, Magnus had called out that they were about ten minutes from the town it was just figuring out where the house was that was going to be difficult. Jace closed his eyes and rubbed his temple trying to get rid of the splitting headache he had. Suddenly he could hear a loud whizzing noise, he looked up and found the source, it was the warlock sitting next to him. Suddenly he started fading, the man had a huge grin on his face before there was a loud pop and the man was gone. Jace sat up startled and looked at Alec, Isabelle and Simon who both had the same expression there face as him. Magnus was leaning his head out the truck asking what that noise was, Jace was the first to recover and answer him.
"Patrick just disappeared!" He yelled back over the wind, he heard Magnus curse and suddenly they were drive a lot faster. Jace watched Isabelle fall to the side and land on pig, any other situation if would have been funny but at that moment all Jace could feel was dread. Simon helped Isabelle off the pig and she was making a face and pulling straw out of her hair. In half the time that Magnus originally said they were passing a sign that said "welcome" with the town they were looking for under it. The man brought them to the main street, which was only about a minute away. Apparently it was a very small town and Jace hoped that made it easier for them to find the house. Everyone hopped off the truck, Magnus got out of the front after thanking the man. They all gathered together as there ride drove off.
"So how do we find the house from here?" Isabelle asked, she still had some straw in her hair but no one said anything.
"I am going to ask some locals if they have noticed anything different lately and in what area, might narrow down our search just a little." Magnus said and he headed into the small store they were standing in front of, Alec trailed right behind him.
"I swear to god I am going to kill both Jonathan and Patrick if we find them." Jace whispered, he felt angry that now there element of surprise was gone, Jonathan could be moving the house at that very moment. He let out a big sigh as Magnus and Alec came back outside.
"Apparently there was murder on Tavern Road, first murder in this little town in about twenty years I think we should start there." Magnus said as he pulled a sharp looking pen from his pocket and started drawing on his hand, it was a compass. He was muttering some words as he drew and when he was finished it glowed white for a moment before dimming back to black.
"Tavern Road." Magnus said into his hand and suddenly the compass on his hand was pointing to the east in a bright red color, everyone started to follow Magnus as he swept off in the direction his hand was pointing them. Sometimes Magnus's magic really stunned Jace.
AN: Yeah that was pathetically short, but I am really tired and my kids are still napping I might rest for a bit before I have to do a million more things. Hopefully I'll make it up to you guys tomorrow with a nice long chapter!
