Chapter 24

'Jace...'

Jace ran over to her, "Clary! Are you ok? Did he hurt you?" He went to pull her into a hug but she flinched away, his heart broke a little.

Clary was so confused at what was happening, 'Where's Sebastian? Did they kill him? Why is Jace here? Why did he have to come now of all times?! Who else is here? What are they going to do when they find out about the baby? What are they going to do when they find out about what I've been doing?!' Her body couldn't handle the stress anymore, her eyes started to flutter and darkness consumed her.

Clary's eyes darted open as she felt as if her heart was being ripped out. She looked up to see a pair of hands hovering above her she looked over to see Magnus 'Oh God! the Baby!' She abruptly sat up and pulled her legs to her chest, her eyes darted around the room; she was in the infirmary at the Institute.

Her eyes darted back to Magnus, "Clary it's all right, you're safe now."

'Safe? I was safe with Sebastian! Oh My God! Sebastian! Where is he? What happened to him?' Panic rose in her she started hyperventilating, she then felt a warm hand on her back, "Clary calm down, everything is going to be fine."

Clary jumped off the bed and realised it wasn't just Magnus in the room. Isabel, Simon, Alec, Jace, Luke, her mum, even Maryse was there, they had all changed slightly since she last saw them like they had been through a traumatic experience, well she guessed they had considering she had disappeared. She locked eyes with her mum's, Jocelyn's eyes were red like she'd been crying for ages, black shadows under her eye like she hadn't slept and her face looked like she had never smiled. Clary's heart sank, she thought back to how much she had missed her mum, she had thought about her every day, even though she knew how disgusted she would have been in Clary she still would have talked to her. Clary ran over to her and flung her arms around her, Jocelyn's arms wrapped around her daughter and pulled her into tight hug, neither of them wanted to let go. Clary felt a tear roll down her face and then she felt churning in her stomach. She yanked away from her mum and ran over to the trash bin at the end of the infirmary and puked in it. She felt her stomach tighten and her head started pounding.

She felt warm hands on her back and heard a familiar voice, not Magnus, not Jace, not her mum, but Isabel, "it's ok. It's ok, it won't be like this for long."

Once Clary stopped she thought of why she was saying this and then she thought about why she was puking, 'the Baby!'

She spun around, and got one word out, "What?"

Isabel's eyes softened, "We know about the baby Clary, we know that it's Sebastian's and... and..." She shied away.

Jace continued for her, his voice was harsh, "and we're going to get that monster out of you!"

Clary's heart slightly broke, 'Monster? Out of me? ... OH GOD!' She stood up abruptly, tears started to fall again, she forced one word out "NO!"

Jace's eyes filled with confusion, "What?"

"No!" She repeated

Isabel went to touch Clary's shoulder but Clary flinched away. She looked around at the group of faces, faces full of confusion, hurt, love, despair and then there was Jace's, his was full of ... anger.

As she locked eyes with Jace she became frightened, she pushed herself into a corner and slid down the wall, she pulled her knees to her chest and started crying.

She then heard Magnus' voice, "Would you all mind if I spoke to Clary alone?" She heard everyone leave and then she heard Magnus' voice again, full of worry, "Clary. Why don't you want us to help you?"

Anger bubbled inside her, they had no idea what they were talking about, they had no idea how Sebastian had made her feel these last weeks, "Help me?! You want to help me!? You want to help me by taking my baby away?!"

To Clary's surprise Magnus didn't look surprised or taken back by his statement, he just looked at her almost calmly but hurt twinkled in his cat eyes, "Clary we don't have to do anything you don't want us to do."

The only thing Clary could say was, "I just want to go to sleep right now." She lied she just wanted everyone out of the room.

Magnus nodded understandingly and exited the infirmary. Clary walked back over to the bed and lay down. She bit her bottom lip, splitting it open; she had to see if he was ok. She closed her eyes as she felt the blood hit her tongue, bracing herself for the darkness but the darkness never came. She opened her eyes to see that she was still in the infirmary she looked around hoping he had travelled to her like he did in the shower. He wasn't there, her stomach started to twist. She bit down again. Nothing. She bit down again, tears filling her eyes. nothing. 'What? No. Where is he? Why isn't it working?' She gave up. She laid her head down on the bed and fell asleep sobbing his name.

Where is he? What happened to him? Is he ok? Why isn't it working?

"Clary. Clary." She felt the warm breath in her ear as she heard the familiar voice.

She sleepily opened her eyes and smiled as she realised who it was, "Sebastian?"

"Hey baby." He was lying next to her, his fingers playing with the end of her hair, he leaned over and brushed his lips against hers. Clary smiled weakly at his touch, his warm familiar touch.

Her throat burned as she felt the tears start to form, "Where are you?"

He ran his hand across her cheek, she leaned into his warmth, "I can't tell you right now, but I can tell you I will come to get you... when I can."

She felt a tear roll down her cheek, she moved so her head was nuzzled into his chest, "They know... They know about the baby... and... and... and they..." Her throat started to choke up.

"Shh shh," he kissed the top of her head, "I know and I won't let them hurt you or..." He placed his hand on her stomach, another tear rolled down Clary's cheek.

He leaned over and kissed her lovingly, "I have to go now."

"What? No. Please don't go." She pleaded.

"Shh, it's going to be ok, I'll be back soon." He brushed a few strands of hair behind her ear, "Close your eyes Clary." He whispered softly.

As she closed her eyes another tear escaped down her cheek.

She slowly opened her eyes as she felt his presence drift away from her. She sat up and looked around the room, Simon was asleep in the bed next to hers. 'Simon...' Her best friend, she had abandoned her best friend he had probably been worried sick about her. She slowly got out of bed and walked across the room, trying not to make any noise. She slowly creaked the infirmary door open, she cringed as she heard the high squeaking noise and prayed that Simon wouldn't wake, her prayers were answered. She started walking down the huge corridor, she didn't realise where she was going until she got there. She walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. Clary had a sudden craving for bacon and eggs. She went over and turned the pan on, she pulled out the eggs and bacon and started cooking. While the food cooked she got peanut butter out and started eating it by the spoonful. The peanut butter covered spoon hung in her mouth as she flipped the eggs. She scooped them out and placed the food on a plate, she picked it up, turned around and sat at the table. She started eating it felt like heaven in her mouth for some reason and the lingering taste of peanut butter made it even better. She looked up as she heard the sound of the door open; Alec was standing there, his face expressionless. Clary looked down awkwardly and continued eating.

Alec went over to the fridge and pulled out a yoghurt; he sat opposite Clary and started eating.

After a moment of uncomfortable science, Alec spoke, still looking down at his yoghurt, "He's broken you know"

Clary knew he was talking about, Jace, she swallowed uncomfortably, "I know... I don't know what to do though."

"You know what to do... Get rid of it." His voice was harsh.

Clary felt his eyes burning into her skull, but she couldn't look at him, she fiddled with her cutlery, she fought back the tears, "I can't..."

"Why not?!"

She flinched at his harshness, she could see out of the corner of her eye that his fists were clenched, "I just... can't."

She gasped as he grabbed her shirt, yanking her so the chair fell out from under her, his anger filled eyes locked on her terrified ones, "Why the hell not?! How can you live with yourself with that thing inside you?! You're poisoned! That thing inside you is evil and you know it!"

"ALEXANDER GIDION LIGHTWOOD!" Clary looked over to see Magnus standing in the doorway; he was shocked at the sight before him.

Alec never took his gaze off her; Magnus' eyes fell on Alec, his voice stern, "ALEC LET HER GO! NOW!"

Alec let go of her and stormed out the door, pushing past Magnus without a second look. Clary fell to the ground, her hand clutching at her chest; her heart was pounding ten times fast.

Magnus was at her side in seconds, "Clary are you ok?"

Clary started having a panic attack, her mind racing with images of what just happened, images of Jace in the infirmary, images of Sebastian, images of Simon, Images of her mum, everything! Her head was pounding, she could hear her own heart beat, everything else was a blur. She slowly pulled herself to her feet, her hands shaking.

"Maybe you should sit down." Magnus' voice full of concern.

He was holding Clary's arm, to keep her balanced. She yanked away and ran out. Her heart pounding, her stomach churning, her mind racing, she ran down the hallway Magnus running after her.

He was calling out to her, "Clary! Stop! Clary! Wait! Clary we can figure this out! Clary!"

She felt strong arms wrap around her and stop her mid run, she squirmed and jolted trying to get out of the grip but that only made them grip her tighter, she creamed and kicked, "STOP! JUST LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LEAVE ME ALONE! DON'T HURT ME! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" her screams soon turned into cries, she soon realised who it was. Jace.

He was whispering soothingly in her ear, his voice was shaky, "Shh shh please Clary. Stop. I won't hurt you. I would never hurt you."

She sunk to her knees, he went with her, she stopped trying to get free and leaned into his embrace; tears falling down her face like streams of a rushing river.

Her cries quieted to sobs, Jace slowly wrapped his arm under her knees and picked her up. She placed her head on his chest; tears were still falling but not as much. He carried her back to the infirmary and placed her down on the bed but she didn't release her hands from around his neck, instead she pulled him closer to her. He lay down next to her and pulled her against his chest, she inhaled his scent that she honestly had missed. The tears were still leaking down her cheeks. She calmed at the sound of his heartbeat and fell asleep to the feeling on his chest rise and fall with every breath.

Her last thoughts as slumber took her, 'This feels right. Maybe it is right, maybe I should get rid of the baby. Maybe I should leave Sebastian.' The thought of Sebastian made her heart skip, 'Sebastian...'
