Chapter 22

Jon POV

I pace back in forth as I wait for Jace and the others to arrive, worried about Clary. Where could she be? She didn't run away, if she did she would've brought her phone with her. Also, she didn't have any reason to run away. Clary obviously wasn't at Jace's, cause he sounded worried too. Plus, Clary would've listened to me. Finally, the doorbell rings, but it's not Jace or Izzy. It was Mom and Luke.

"Jon! Oh, my Clary where could she be?" Mom wraps me up in a warming hug then the two walk in the house and sit down.

"Mom, I'm so worried. Do you think it was.. Valentine?" I whisper Valentine's name.

"As much as I wish it isn't, it could be. But I don't know for sure. I think it was him though, because he sent me a text earlier saying that he'll get you and Clary. That he'll be like a father to you and have Birth Rights. I don't know where he lives though." Jocelyn had tears welling in her eyes and she sniffed every now and then. I hug her, telling her that Clary will be okay. Eventually, Jace comes barreling through the door, worry, anger, and confusion lining his face.

"Who did this to Clary? Who kidnapped her?" He asks.

"We don't know for sure if she was kidnapped, it's just a theory." I say.

"Well who is your theory?!" He exclaims.

"Valentine Morgenstern." I mumble, but Jace hears.

"Who the hell is Valentine Morgenstern? Where is my Clary?!"

"Valentine is our father." I reply, trying to stay calm. "He wants birth rights to the both of us, but he's always tried getting Clary. He hasn't in the past two years until now. If it's him." Suddenly, the phone starts ringing and Jocelyn answers while Jace, Izzy, Simon, Alec and Magnus and I all talk quietly about where Clary could be. Where Valentine could've taken her. Jocelyn hangs up the phone, her face pale and her eyes wide with fear.

"Mom... You okay?" I ask, worried. "Was that Valentine?" I was now in full protection mode, going over and placing a hand on my mothers shoulder. She nods.

"Yeah. He said that.. Th-that.. He had C-Clary and if we didn't give him birth rights he would j-j-just kill her." Jocelyn stuttered a little, then sits on the sofa, holding her head in her hands. "He's gonna kill my baby.."

"No. He's not, mom. Because we're going to get Clary back. And I have a plan.."

Clary POV

I sit at a kitchen table, picking at food Valentine made for me. I wasn't going to take my chances and eat it, who knows what he did to it?

"Are you going to eat the food I took the time to make for you?" Valentine snarls.

"And you wonder why you don't have any birth rights.." I mumble.

"What did you just say to me?!" Valentine yells, pounding his fist on the table and coming towards me, slapping me.

"You heard me." I shake off the pain of the slap and get up, walking to 'my room'. Valentine grabs my wrist and shoves me against the wall, grabbing my jaw hard.

"Listen here. You will do as I say." Valentine spits at me, and I just glare at him. "Oh I called your mother today. If they don't give me birth rights I'll just kill you." Being the bitch of a father he is, he ends the conversation by punching me, and I fall to the floor, touching my face where he hit me. I get up slowly and just walk silently to my room, looking in the mirror there. I had bruises on my face and some on my back from Valentine whipping me this morning when I called him a douchebag. My rib cage hurt from a couple of hits there and also I had a scar on my shoulder from him cutting me with a knife. No wonder he has no birth rights! I lock my door and sit on my bed, crying, hoping for my parents, brother, Jace or Izzy or Simon to come and save me. But how would they know where I'm at? They'd never know where to start. I'd never even seen this place.

•••

"Unlock the damn door!" I hear valentine yell, trying to open the door. I just smile.

"No! I'm not your daughter and I won't listen to you!" Lets just say that I regretted saying that. The door bursts down and an angry Valentine stomps towards me. He grabs me by my collar and pins me up against the wall.

"I should just kill you now.. But I won't. Because you still have one more day for them to find you."

"They'll find me." I say confidently.

"They'll never find you or me. They have no clue where to start looking." Valentine snarls at me and drops me, I fall to the floor. Valentine then leaves the room, slamming the door behind him. I hear the click of him locking the door. I groan. I was now Locked in the room, no food or water. This was going to be the longest day ever.
