Jace

Elodide was not amused when she was forced into a red dress.

The moment we walked up the stairs Sebastian said she needed to wear something ceremonial. So when he came back with one of the dresses from the wardrobe, Elodide went as white as Sebastian's hair.

"No way on hell and earth am I wearing a dress"

"But you have to! It's ceremonial! It's red."

"If red is ceremonial, get me something ELSE" she said threateningly.

Sebastian sighed as he went away. I laughed

"Dresses?"

"Don't judge me"

She pointed to my ear, the blood drying. Who knew pencils could do that much damage thrown at high speed.

"Christ. What happened to you?"

I thought I had better tell her. By the way things were going, she would kill Sebastian by the end of the week. Then I would be in the silent city.

"Ummm…."

"No! Jace Herondale short of words?! The world is ending!"

How close to the truth. The old shadowhunters would be gone and the new ones would be better. Stronger.

"Haha. But when you kinda hurt Sebastian with the pencil you hurt me. So don't kill him or ill be stuck in a grave."

She muttered something similar to 'Aww….there goes my Saturday.'

At that moment he came back and held up another dress, even shorter than the other.

"Is that it?" he nodded, smirking "I hate you."

She grabbed the first dress and the high heels off the chair and stalked into the bathroom.

Then I said to Sebastian

"Can she stay?"

He nodded.

"What happened in training? You were….. Distracted"

"No I wasn't!"

"Yeah you were. So what happened then? Was it El?"

He said nothing, but then El came in.

She looked stunning. Her hair had been trimmed, god knows how she done it, so it was just above her waist. The red and brought out the gold in her skin and made her shimmer. She had got hold of eyeliner, so that was around her eyes, lipstick on her full lips. The dress was short at the front and draped and the back. She looked like an angel. Must be my good looks. But she refused to wear the heels. Instead her combat boots were on the feet, which just made me laugh.

"Hate you brother dearest"

She looked over to Sebastian, who was still staring. She just rolled her eyes, even though she looked pleased with herself. Then she punched him in the cheek.

Spitting out blood he went over to her and got his stele out. Then he started drawing runes all over her. Angelic power, strength and more appeared on her upper arms.

"Done then. Sweetheart."

"Ok. Why do I smell like burning and why are my arms bear?"

"Burning is just the marks and the lower arms is for temporary runes." He said, putting his stele down.

Almost immediately she snatched it back up and held it above her skin

"Elodide!" Sebastian and I shouted warningly.

But it was too late. The stele set on her skin as she drew two runes, one circling her left wrist, one on her arm right near her hand.

"What do they mean?" I whispered.

"That one means achievement. But I don't know what that means." She pointed the one on her wrist.

"Rune powers too… the angelic blood is taking effect"

"So… who's in for a trip to London?" I said trying to lighten the mood.

"London? But we are in York. Remember?"

"Oh yeah the house can kind of travel anywhere."

"cool! I'm in." she said. She he turned around and shouted "Oi Sebastian! In for a trip?"

But he was gone.

"Weapons?"

"Some. In a bit sis."

She ran from the room downstairs. I thought I saw a flash of fear before she disappeared

Elo

I ran downstairs, not wasting any time. The screams bothered me. They were there.

One quick rune turned this stupid dress into a t-shirt and jeans. Thank god.

I came to the door. I tried the handle. Locked. Then I pressed my palm against the door. Immediately a shaft of dark light left my hand and was absorbed into the door. It reminded me of the poison. Of Satrina Odam. The door silently swung open.

'Oh god Sebastian, what did you do now?' I thought whilst opening the door, the runes twirling in my mind

Behind the old door, the room was stone. Shackles lined the walls, red with rust. I touched it and my hand came back sticky with blood. Ok, not rust then. Runes twirled around the walls and ceiling. However, my Michael subconscious screamed that the runes were nothing good, something demonic and wrong. It brought back memories and nothing good.

The room was roughly hewn out of stone. I tried to get up, but I could not. I looked down. Tanned leather straps circled my body, arms and legs. I struggled but I could not break free. I may have been only 8, but I was strong for my age. The symbols were dark and I saw a pentagram on the floor around me. Oh great. Rule number one: NOTHING good comes from a pentagram. Then I saw the woman with the dark hair. Rule number two: Nothing good comes from her. Or that, as I called her. Or it.

"Now now" she said. "Don't fight." She held up a syringe, thick with black liquid. I thought It was blood, but it couldn't could be. Could it? But then again, I had saw weirder things since I had left from the orphanage.

She put it next to my neck. I squirmed, trying to get away from her. She put it in my neck and just as she was about to press the plunger I said

"Go to hell Satrina"

"Oh, but I'm already there. Good bye little Shadowhunter"

Just as the acid entered my system, she whispered

"You will make a beautiful bride for my son"

Then all went black and the walls caved in.

10 figures were chained up all around, a contraption of torture in the middle of the room. All were so sad, not even fighting against the bonds. I found a watch on the side and lit the lights. The all backed away, except a tall girl with blue eyes.

"Are you here to save us? Or are you with Sebastard."

I liked this girl already.

"I am with him, but he has my brother under control. I must stay."

I sobbed and in a moment her arms were around me, hugging me and muttering that everything was going to be ok.

"Who are you?" I said choking back more sobs. I don't want side effects. Not now.

They introduced themselves.

"Michaela was a werewolf that was one who helped me. There was also another werewolf called Lauren. Her sister Becky was a shadowhunter along with Amy, which made no sense. There were also two warlocks called Sophie and Max, vampires called Gemma and Alex. But there were no faeries.

"How did you get in here?" Sophie said, her lilac hair tangled and matted. "Only those with the blood of demons can get in"

Huh. So that evil b**** injected me with demon blood, not acid. Small world

"Long story" gritting my teeth as I tried to get the chains off of Michaela. But they were made of glass.

"Adamas" Amy said. "It is unbreakable, and only he has the keys"

I heard my brother shout for me.

"I will return" I promised

"You better" Michaela shouted as I ran.

I ran into the training room wounded by what I had just saw.

"Hey. What's up? You look upset"

"Nope nope I'm fine. So Jace, I need info."

"On what?" he said sarcastically "where did you get the jeans?"

"Long story. Yours and Sebastian."

And so he told me. About his parabati, adopted family and Clary. It always went back to clary. They sounded so cute together. And she sounded so nice and brave to put up with my sarcastic, now it all of a brother. I listened as I but a sword in my belt, knives in my boots. And then it was Sebastian. Ok, I hated him, but I felt sorry for him. His father trained him and abused him, loved him and hated him. But there were gaps and I wanted to know what it was.

He grabbed a stele from the wall and said

"Make a portal."

"What?"

"Just think about a portal"

And so I did. Almost automatically my hand moved across the wall and my creepy subconscious said. You have the angels own gift and the gift of words that can't be spoken. Also the power of the divines. Remember one is given to you, one is given to you by accident.

Thank you head. Very helpful. I thought back

No problem. Be careful, the storm is coming, prepare yourself El.

I opened my eyes. A rune melted into the wall and a shimmering pool appeared.

"Ready?"

Jace held my arm as we walked, side by side into the portal.

And all was dark.
