Chapter 17

Clary POV

The next morning, I wake to birds chirping and the sun shining brightly in my face. I cringe and sit up, rubbing sleep from my eyes. I stretch and yawn, then crawl out of bed and head to the shower. Once out, I slip on a white flowy tank top that says: 'Can't Handle This' in black letters. I also put on my black skinny jeans and throw my hair up in a messy bun. I apply a sweep of mascara to my lashes and get out of the bathroom. It was 10:30 by now and Jace had said he would come around noon. I walk into the kitchen and grab two cookie dough pop tarts to eat with a glass of milk. I eat those quickly, then head down to the living room to watch some television while I wait. Jon is downstairs, sleeping in the chair, hair ruffled and clothes wrinkled. He smelled strongly of alcohol. I sigh. Jon was out partying last night. Then I remembered. I was going to tell Jon about what happened with Aline today.. I don't know if I can do it. When will Jace be here? I need him here for support. I look at the clock. It was still the same time it was when I last looked. 10:30. Well, now it was 10:36.

"Clary, you're staring at me." I see Jon with his eyes open, glancing at me staring at him. I hadn't even noticed I was staring at him.

"Oh, uh.. Sorry. I just have a lot on my mind I guess." I reply sheepishly.

"Clary. Tell me what's wrong." Jon says.

"What? Nothing's wrong.." I say a bit too quickly. Jon gets up and sits on the couch, patting the spot next to him. I sigh and sit down beside him, he wraps his arm around my shoulder.

"Now tell me what's going on, little sis." Jon says. I take a deep breath and get up saying, "just one second." I head to my room and call Jace.

"Hey can you come over like, now? Jon knows something is up." I tell Jace once he picks up.

"Yeah sure of course, anything for you." Jace replies and hangs up. I take deep breaths and sit on my bed as I wait.

•••

Ten minutes later Jace shows up on the doorstep. I run downstairs once I hear the bell ring and open the door and fall into Jace's arms once I see him. He strokes my hair and I step back, letting him inside. Jace and I both sit on the sofa next to a very confused and worried looking Jon. I take one last deep breath before I finally tell him the story. Once I'm done, he looks like he's going to explode.

"SHE DID WHAT?!" He screams, causing Simon to come out of his room rubbing his eyes.

"What's going on?" He asks.

"Nothing," I start to say and Jace gives me a look. "I'll tell you later." Simon just nods and walks back to his room and I look to my fuming older brother. I smile sheepishly and say, "what are you going to do...?"

"I'm going to kill her. Why did she do that to you? It could've been ANYTHING else but she had to do THIS?!" Jon was fuming.

"Jon, please just.. Calm down. I'm okay. Aline and I are going to be friends."

"But still. What she did to you.."

"I'm FINE."

"Okay. Okay. But still, she's going to get something for what she did. You can't stop me. I'm just protecting you, little sister." Jon replies.

"Okay, thank you for looking out for me. You too, Jace." I say and give them both hugs. Jon kisses my cheek and hugs me to him while Jace kisses my forehead and hugs me tightly while stroking my hair.

"Well I'm going to go tell Simon.." I say, walking off to Simons room to tell him. I knock lightly on his door and he opens it, inviting me in with a warm smile. I smile weakly back at him and sit down on his bed in his dimly lit room. I look around his room. His room with the black loft bed and sheets and the black desk and lamp. The World of Warcraft posters hanging on the walls and the GTA posters as well. He has on a black shirt that says: "Team Mianite" on it and some dark wash jeans and his feet were bare. I sit on the bed, playing with my shirt sleeve and occasionally twirling my hair around my finger.

"So.. What's up?" Simon asks, he obviously knew something was wrong. I pat the spot next to me and he sits and I lean my head onto his chest and cry into his chest. Just, everything that's happened, it's built up inside of me and I just can't take it. After I'm done crying, I tell Simon what happened in between sniffles and small hiccups. He just sits there, my head rested against his chest, stroking my hair and soothing me.

"Hey, it's okay. At least you guys are going to try to be friends now, right?"

"Yeah, I guess. What she did just shook me up and freaked me out and weirded me out is all."

"That seems like a lot."

"I know.." I say. "Anyways, wanna go get something to eat with Jon and Jace?"

"Sure, I'd love to." Simon replies and puts on some socks and black converse. We walk out of his room together and see Jon and Jace on the couch, talking about stuff like Football and their next party.

"Hey. Wanna go get some lunch?" I ask them.

"Sure. Who's coming?" Jon and Jace ask.

"Just us four. But now I'm thinking Isabelle, Alec, and Magnus should come too so I can tell them about.. Well, you know."

"Yeah. That sounds great." Jace replies and takes my hand. "I'll drive you over to my house to get Izzy and I'm sure Alec and Magnus will ride together."

"Okay. Is that okay Jon?"

"Yeah, just don't do anything to my sister or I swear..."

"Jon! I'll be fine." Jon smirks as Jace and I walk out the door, them following close behind.

•••

We arrive at Jace's house, I wait outside while Jace goes in to get Izzy. Then I'm grabbed by my arm and a hand goes over my mouth. I try to scream, but no sound comes out. I'm then knocked over the head and I pass out.

•••

I awake in a dark area, it was moist and smelt dirty. I sit up and wince, my head hurt badly just to move. It's then that I realize I'm in a small cave inside the woods. I look around at my surroundings, curious. Where was I? I mean, obviously the woods but where?

"Why, hello beautiful." I hear a voice from outside the cave. They then walk into the cave and help me up. They had on a white tee, jeans, and black chucks. Their eyes were midnight black and so was their hair. Sebastian. I gasp and fall backwards, landing on my butt.

"Sebastian. What are we doing here?" I ask him, my voice shaky. He just smirks at me, his eyes gleaming an evil way.

"Oh, babe. We were meant to be and this.. This is where it happens." I see there's a blanket in one part of the cave and pillows. I start to shake, it was cold and it was raining outside. Sebastian pulls me up, holding my wrist a bit too tightly and smiling deviously at me. He pulls me into him, our noses are touching and I'm forced to stare into his eyes. He holds on tight to my hips, keeping me latched to him. I groan as I try to escape his death grip, but it's no use. He brings our lips together, closing the gap between us and causing me to gag. Then, a plan forms in my mind while we're still kissing. I kiss back, looping my arms around his neck, going with my plan. I kiss him, hard, and push him up against the cave wall. He moans in pleasure as I comb my fingers through his hair, kissing him fiercely. He responds to the kiss, deepening it. I smile against his mouth, not in pleasure but at the effect my plan was doing. Now it was time I put it into action. Catching him off guard, I knee him in the stomach, then kick him right where it hurts. He falls to the ground, moaning in pain. I don't take the time to revel at my job well done, I run. Too soon, I'm being grabbed by my wrist and I turn to see Sebastian. I reach in my back pocket to grab my phone but it's gone.

"Where's my phone?!" I scream at him through the sound of pouring rain. He smiles at me and punches me, I fall to the ground, hovering my hand over my jaw, my hand came away red with blood. I grimace at the sight of the blood and I get up quickly. He sends a flurry of punches at me, but I duck. He expected it, and right when I get up he kicks me in the stomach and I fall to the ground. He lifts me up by my collar and pushes me up against a tree, the pointy edges of bark digging into my skin causing me to shout out. He slaps me and places his lips to mine to silence me. I gag at his touch and push forward, he falls to the ground. I grab a large stick from the ground and knock him in the head with it, his head was bleeding and I check his pulse. Good, he was still alive. He stirs and I run away and up the nearest tree. Soon, I see him get up slowly and in pain.

"Clary. Clary! We were meant to be! Just.. Please come out. I won't hurt you anymore." Yeah, like I believe that, bitch. I think to myself. My foot accidentally slips and causes pieces of bark to fall and Sebastian sees me. "Come down, love."

"Never. I will never love you." I tell Sebastian. "Oh and by the way.."

"Yes?"

"Don't ever call me love, you asshole." He starts to come closer, and I decide that I don't want to be cornered in a tree.. So I climb down quickly and run towards the edge of the woods. I hear Sebastian running fast, but I'm just warming up. Once I hear he's close enough, I sprint and he gets far behind me. I smile and run into a tall bulky figure. He had golden hair and golden eyes.

"CLARY! Oh my god, I was so worried.. Is that blood?" Relief flows through me when I hear Jace and see him. I give him a huge tight hug, letting him wrap me up in his arms and sooth me. "What happened?"

"Sebastian.." I trail off when I'm being released. I see Jace storm the other way, towards where I came from. I hear punches, and Jace yelling, "YOU BITCH! STAY AWAY FROM CLARY OR I SWEAR I WILL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!" Jace punches him a couple more times and then Sebastian runs into the woods quickly. I smile and laugh at Jace, he was so cute when he was mad at people hurting me. He comes up to me and takes me into his arms.

"You okay, love?"

"I'm fine now. Right here. With you." He smiles and together we walk to his car where Isabelle awaits in the backseat. Great. I had some explaining to do...

A/N- the thing suggested to me by ICanExplain was the thing with Sebastian, I just didn't want any spoilers at the beginning :) anyways, hope you liked this chapter :)
