Chapter 8

"Jace?"

His golden eyes, full of concern were staring down at her, let out a sigh of relief and pulled her into his arms, "Don't ever do that again!"

As he released his grip, she put on a confused face, "What happened?" (She knew exactly what had happened.)

"You ran out, you were crying, when I finally caught up to you to try and understand what was happening you passed out, I caught you before you hit the ground and brought you back to the infirmary. You were out for a good five minutes."

She made it look like she was processing what he had told her but in reality she was buzzing from the taste of Sebastian still lingering in her mouth.

"So... Why did you run out like that, why were you crying?

Her mind raced around looking for an excuse and then she remembered what she told him yesterday, "You remember how I wasn't feeling well?"

He looked confused for a moment while he thought back and then realised, "Ohhhh... So that's why you couldn't... You didn't want to..." Jace hates talking about this girly business, periods, cramps, what not. "But why were you crying?"

She replied in a flash, "Mood swings, all my emotions are heightened and I was disappointed that we couldn't and it all just got to me."

She could see how uncomfortable he was, she couldn't help but smile at his awkwardness, she sat up and gave him a soft kiss, not opening her mouth scared he might taste it as well, "I think I should go home, I'm still not feeling the greatest and right now all I want is to go to sleep."

He sighed in disappointment, "ok. Call me or text me when you're feeling any better."

"Will do."

Just before she left the infirmary she heard Jace call out to her, "I love you Clary."

She turned around and smiled at him, she felt a bit guilty, it's not that she didn't love Jace, it's just after everything she's done she didn't think she deserved his love, "I love you too Jace."

She turned around again and left the institute.

Once she got home she went straight to her sketch pad and started drawing. She didn't know what exactly but she just let her hand guide her. Once she finished, she sucked in a harsh breath as she looked at what she had drawn. Not Jace... But Sebastian, Sebastian in a towel to be exact, his hair was ruffled, a few droplets of water were on his chest, as she stared her body tingled. She threw her sketch book on the ground in frustration and flopped on her bed, staring at the ceiling as if it were to blame.

She asked herself once again, 'what's wrong with me?'

She suddenly felt her phone buzz in her pocket; she yanked it out and looked at the caller ID, Isabel. She sighed in annoyance but answered it anyway, knowing Izzy she wouldn't give up easy.

She answered it more harshly than she'd liked, "What!?"

"Jeeze, calm down! Maybe I should have listened to Jace and not have bothered you."

She rolled her eyes in annoyance, "What do you want Isabel?"

"You need to come back to the institute now!"

"But I just got home!"

"It's an emergency meeting! There's new news about Sebastian's where-abouts."

Clary immediately sat up and started putting her shoes on, "Where is he?"

"They won't tell us anything, not until everyone is here."

"I'll be there as soon as I can." With that she hung up the phone, just before she left she drew a stamina and speed rune on her arm. She ran all the way there, she was kind of impressed with herself but she knew it was all because if the runes. She made her way into the Institute, her heart racing faster and faster as she got closer and closer to the group of Shadowhunters and werewolves standing outside the meeting room. She stopped a metre away from the group and looked around trying to find, Isabel, Jace, Alec, Magnus, or even Maia. She suddenly saw Isabel and Jace walking towards her and relaxed a little but tensed up again when she saw that Izzy was glaring at Jace for some unknown reason.

Jace was still uncomfortable, "umm...you feeling any better?"

Before she could answer she was cut off by Izzy, "By the Angel Jace! Seriously? She's on her period she's not dying!"

She death stared Isabel for being so loud, even though she wasn't on her period it was still personal and she didn't feel like sharing it with everyone.

In an attempt to change the subject, "So how many more are we waiting on?"

Jace suddenly relaxed at the change of topic, "umm, I think we're just waiting on Alec and Magnus."

Clary was a bit confused; Jace noticed and decided to explain, "Alec got given the task of retrieving the warlock that had been working with them, unfortunately that warlock is Magnus."

Clary felt pity for Alec, too many emotions came when Alec and Magnus were in a room, and even Clary could see that their hearts broke a little more every time they saw each other, no one knows why they broke up, Alec refused to talk about it. At that moment Alec and Magnus entered the room, Alec storming ahead of Magnus, arms crossed, slouched back and his eyes were red like he had just been crying. Magnus looked horrible as well, he wasn't standing tall like he usually does, he looked like someone had ripped his beating heart out and shown it to him, his eyes were also red like he'd just been crying.

Alec came over to us, despair his voice, "Is everyone here?"

Isabel was about to ask him what happened, but Jace cut her off with a look that said 'not now, it'll make things worse.'

Jace put on his best smile in an attempt to cheer him up, "Yep! Let's head in!"

Everyone started to file in and take their seats. She saw her mum and Luke standing up the front, she itched to go see them but now wasn't the right time.

Over the course of the meeting she was told that Sebastian was in Australia and was planning on staying, they were going to go retrieve him tonight and then bring him to Idris to be executed for his crimes, Clary flinched at the words 'executed' and 'crimes'. The retrieval group would be away for at least a week.

At the end of the meeting they read out the list of who was a part of the retrieval group, they racked off names other Shadowhunters and members of Luke's pack and then finally, "Magnus Bane the High Warlock of Brooklyn, Alexander Lightwood, Isabel Lightwood, Jace Lightwood."

She wasn't on the list, she was completely confused, not angry but confused, Jace had gotten on but she hadn't.

She went over to her mum at the end, with confusion written all over her face, "Now Clary I know you must be upset, but you're still not a fully trained shadowhunter, we can't let you go."

She sighed trying to sound disappointed, "fffiiinnnee." Dragging it out all dramatically.

"Good, now go home and I want you to stay with Simon while we're gone, Ok?"

She nodded and forced a smile. Before she left the Institute Jace gave her one last goodbye kiss and told he loved her.

When she got home she found a note on her bed:

Dear Clary,

I see they think I'm in Australia. Good. That means that they'll be away for at least two weeks on a wild goose chase. If you want, portal to me, you've seen my house, you know where I am.

I'll be waiting.

-Sebastian.

ps. I love the drawing of me.

She smiled at the last bit. 'Should I? No! no! no! I can't! But no one will know. But I will know! You can always come back before anything happens.' With that she went over to her cupboard and pulled out an overnight bag and started stuffing it with clothes, she jammed her sketch pad and pencil case in (she never went anywhere over night without them), she went to the bathroom and gathered her hairbrush and hair dryer and shoved it in as well. Before she zipped up the bag she picked up the drawing of him and stared at it momentarily before folding it up and shoving it in her pocket. She zipped up the bag and picked up her stele, she slowly started drawing a portal rune, 'I can do this. I can do this.' The portal opened before her, she took a deep breath and braced herself as she stepped into the portal.
