Chapter 35.
"So we meet back her next week to finalise the plans for the attack." Sebastian finished off the meeting and every one started to file out and make their way downstairs. Clary was talking to Rebecka Pangborn, a distant relative to Emil and Anson Pangborn. Rebecka was 14 weeks pregnant and just announced it at the previous meeting. Her partner, Jacob Pangborn, was concerned that with the attack coming up that it would put Rebecka and the child in danger so Sebastian decoded that she would stay out of it and stay back and be ready at the infirmary to attend to the injured. Jacob and Becka are a young couple and recently married. Clary now knew that it was Jacob who interrupted them at The Bone Chandelier but that was in the past now.
"I feel so ashamed that Jacob stood up like that and said that I wouldn't be capable to fight in the attack." Becka said.
"I don't think he thinks that you cant fight it's just that he doesn't want to endanger his unborn baby, may I remind you will be the only way to carry on the lineage of Pangborns, and he is also worried about you. The woman he loves." Clary told her reassuringly.
Becka looked smiled warmly, "I guess your right, thanks Clary. So you ever want to have your own one day, continue the Morgenstern lineage."
Clary felt her stomach twist with the thought but tried to play it off, "Yeah, one day."
Jacob came up and intertwined his fingers in Becka's, "You ready babe?"
"Yep. See ya Clary."
"Bye Becka."
The Pangborns were one of the few who took portal out of the Apartment. As the portal opened all the Shadowhunter's in the room became alert as blurs of brown, black and blond fur dashed through the portal and into the room. Wolves. The next few things were all a blur, the Circle members had formed a circle and were being circled by the wolves, seraph blades and weapons ready. Deep growls echoed the room. On one side of Clary was Becka she had pain written on her face but right now wasn't the time to ask, Sebastian at her other side.
His head flicked around for a second, "Clary, you need to get out of here and take Becka with you."
Clary's anger boiled in her, "What?! No! I'm staying to fight."
"Clary get out of here and take Becka with you!" he ordered.
The Morgenstern stubbornness was kicking in, "No!"
"Clary it's not that I don't want you to fight but I need you to get Becka out of here, Clary look at her!"
Clary spun her head around, Becka's face was cringed in pain, one hand on her stomach and the other holding a seraph blade but it looked like she was about to drop to her knees.
"Clary I need you to grab her and run up the stairs as fast as you can when I say."
Clary nodded obediently and hooked her arm around Becka's waist, letting Becka rest all her weight on Clary. Clary watched the steps and waited for Sebastian's order.
"NOW!"
Clary ran over to the stairs, practically dragging the collapsing girl with her. Clary dragged Becka up the stairs as she walked down the hallway and into the infirmary the noise of the fight slowly drifting away. Clary pushed the Infirmary door open with her foot. Clary reluctantly placed Becka down on the bed.
Becka was clutching her stomach; Clary could tell that she was trying not to cry. "Hey it's ok to cry."
Becka gasped out in pain, "I'm a Shadowhunter though."
"Yeah but you're also a girl… it's ok, let it go."
With that Becka let the tears fall and the whimpers out. Clary went a and received the basics, towels, blankets, bowls of cold and hot water, bandages and other first aid.
Clary hesitated for a second, "Ok, Becka, I need to check if there is any… blood."
Becka nodded, tears still falling, whimpers escaping her lips. Clary started unbuttoning the girls pants very carefully and then pulled them down, exposing her underwear. Clary let out a thankful sigh as there was no blood but that didn't mean everything was ok or would be for long. Although Clary couldn't do much she tried to make Becka as comfortable as possible. The infirmary came equip with basic clothing. Clary changed Becka into a large loose shirt and pulling the blanket up over her.
Becka lay whimpering in pain but Clary couldn't do much more, she kept hearing glimpses of the fight every now and then and flinched as she heard screams. Clary got as much as she could get ready for incoming injuries, she was sure that some would be injured. Clary sat anxiously in the bed across from the whimpering girl, twiddling her thumbs, waiting for the fight to end. Clary suddenly heard howls and the sound of the wolves running. Silence. Clary stood up, staring at the door in expectation. Suddenly the door burst open and Shadowhunters started rushing in, few tending to others who were hobbling over to the beds, clutching at where they were injured. Clary knew that this was only few Shadowhunters compared to the overall amount that fought. Suddenly four tall Shadowhunters came in carrying a bleeding, unconscious male. They placed the unconscious body down on the nearest bed, which happened to be the one next Rebecka's. As the four Shadowhunters moved away from the body she realised one of them was Jacob.
He turned to Clary with panic in his eyes, "Bec?"
Clary pointed to the bed. He darted to her side, "Becka?"
She had stopped whimpering but Clary still saw pain in her eyes, her voice was soft, "Jacob."
"How are you? Is the baby ok?"
Clary answered for her, "There seems to be no bleeding and I can't tell if any thing else is wrong until we get some professional assistance."
Jacob didn't reply instead he just kept looking into Rebecka's pain filled eyes, holding her hand, just being there for her. He didn't unlock his gaze as he informed Clary, "Go you have your own issues to deal with."
Clary was confused for a second and then turned back to the unconscious Shadowhunter, two Shadowhunters at his side tending to his wounds and drawing iratze on him. Clary's heart shattered and stomach twisted as her eyes fell on the face of the unconscious boy. Sebastian. Clary fell to her knees at the side of his bed, tears threatened but she pushed them away. She refused to cry in front of the members of The Circle, it showed weakness and she was not to show weakness in front of them. She reached over and took his hand in his. Everything seemed like a blur after that. Shadowhunters came and went from the infirmary, some of the injured stayed in their beds and every hour someone would check on Sebastian's vitals. A warlock at one point came and checked on Becka, everything was ok her body was just in shock and fear.
Clary stayed where she was, at Sebastian's side, refusing to move.
"Clary… Clary, we need you." Becka was at Clary's side trying to get her to come to the emergency meeting the Circle was having, "Clary, please, your our queen, we need you."
Clary didn't break her gaze but did say the only words she had said in the last 8 hours, "You don't need me."
Becka let out an impatient sigh, "Yes we do! Clary Sebastian chose you to be our queen for times like these. Clary, please…"
Clary thought for a moment and then reached up and brushed the stray hairs off Sebastian's peaceful face. She took a deep breath and slowly stood up. Her face full of sadness with tinges of calm. She slowly let his motionless hand slip out of hers.
She turned to Rebecka, "Let's go, I believe I have an emergency meeting to hold."
The corner of Rebecka's lips turned up as Clary walked out of the Infirmary. She held authority and power in her posture, calmness on her face.
This was the queen Sebastian chose.
