Just wanted to apologize for spelling mistakes in advance. Please tell me if you want me to keep posting. Also, sorry for the short chapters. I'll make sure chapter 3 is longer.
Chapter 2: Valentine's Apartment
"So what are we going to do with you" Sebastian mumbled, tilting his head to the side. Before I could say anything, Jace grabbed my arm and hauled me to my feet. The last thing I saw before everything went back, was Jace's hatred filled eyes.
…
The first thing I noticed when I woke up was someone sliding there finger's though my hair.
It was my mom. I could tell from the way her hand felt, and I could just tell from the smell in the air. But that wasn't the only smell in the room. I could smell something else, something familiar, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.
The second thing I noticed was the bed I was on. It wasn't mine. Defiantly not. Where was I? Suddenly, the events from the night before flooded my mind and I sat strait up in bed.. I was in an unfamiliar room. The walls were white plaster, and I in a bed made of black wood. And beside me was Jocelyn.
"Mom, what are you doing here? What are we doing here?" I gasped looking around the room.
"Just calm down, and keep quiet. I'll explain everything you just got to stay quiet" she whisper, hissing by the end of the sentence.
"Valentines alive. So is Jonathan. So is Jace." Jocelyn began" They came to our house with you unconscious and covered in blood. Valentine said if I come with him willing that he'll heal you with a iratze. He told me I could stay in here with you till you wake up."
"What are we going to do? Where are we? How is he alive?" I furiously whispered.
"I don't know. Let me think" Jocelyn leaned her back against the wall and put her head into her hands.
We fell into silence for a couple of seconds. I took the chance to look at myself. My clothes had tareds all over them, blood was everywhere. My head hurt a little bit but other than that I felt fine.
"There's not much we can. I've heard Valentine talk about a place like this a long time ago but this might not be it" Jocelyn whispered.
"Like what?"
"It's a floating apartment. Kind of. It's hard to explain. But what I do know is that if is what I think it is, no one will be able to find us."
"But warlocks, they can use a tracking spell, right"I asked, my voice rising, panic beginning to set.
"No."
Before I could reply, the door flew open. It was Jace.
"Jace" I whispered.
I was about to jump and run to him, but his eye's stopped me. They weren't the same golden. There was no light in his eye's. They were exactly like Sebastian. I felt like I was about to cry. What happened to him?
He gave me and Jocelyn a once over, a strong look of distaste.
"Valentine wishes to speak to you" said Jace. But it wasn't Jace's smooth, angle like voice. It was shape, like shattering glass.
I slipped out from under the sheets. I didn't feel like walking. I felt like curling up into a ball. I was probley just imagining things. They must have done something to Jace. They did do something to him. That's the only explanation. I flowed Jace out of the room, with my mom behind me, into a big room.
(AN: This next part is quote on quote from COLS)
I was in a large room, half of which was devoted to a long glass table. More of the black pendant cut-glass lights hung from the ceiling, sending dancing shadows against the walls. Everything clwas very modern, from the black leather chairs to the large fireplace, framed in washed chrome.
The other half of the room was taken up with a large television screen, a glossy black coffee table on which were scattered games and controllers, and low leather couches. A set of glass stairs led upward in a spiral.
Seated at the long black table was Valentine and Sebastian. Valentine was at the head of the table, with Sebastian in the middle left side and Jace took a seat on the middle right.
"Jocelyn, my love, please take a seat by my side. You too Clarissa" Valentine said, his voice giving me the chiles.
"And why would we listen to you" I growled, my stubbornness taking over my fear.
"I would watch your tone Clarissa. Only reason why your still breathing is because I made a deal with your mother."
"What deal?" I asked. Every one knows not to make a deal with a man like Valentine.
"I'll tell you, once you take a seat."
"Listen to him" Jocelyn whispered into my ear, before she stiffly made her way over to Valentine.
Shocked, and pissed, I numbly shuffled over to the opposite side of the table as Valentine. I looked over at Jace, making sure he was okay. He had no marks, at least none that I could see. But his eyes… just the thought of them made me shiver.
'He's exactly like Valentine, and Sebastian' said a voice in the back of my head 'And soon, you will be too'. I pushed the voice out of my head.
"Now that you have agreed to listen to me-" Valentine started.
"Hell no." I said, cutting him off.
"Little sister" Sebastian chimed " Watch your tongue or I'll have to cut it off"
I ignored his comment. Or at least tried.
"Quiet, Jonathan" Valentine hissed, turning his attention back to me. "Me and your mother have made a deal. As long as your two listen and do what your told, you will be spared. Our family is together, and when the war come's, I'll keep it that way." The end of the speech sound like a threat. It probably was.
"How are you alive" I sputtered out.
"After Lilith brought Jonathan back to life, he and Jace summoned her again and boom, I was alive again" he said smugly.
"We burned your body."I gasped.
"You did. So she put me in multiply different body's. She tried warlocks, vampires, and shadowhunters. Then we used the infernal cup on a human and I was able to possess them."
"But how did it work?" I asked, stunned.
"Its a … special cup. I can create an army of shadowhunters using mundanes. Our experiments with warlocks and vampires and werwolves didn't work, but on shadowhunters and mundanes it does"
"How does it work" I asked, on the edge of my seat.
"I can't tell you. I don't know if I can trust you or not" Valentine sneered. "After all, you did kill me"
"And I'll do again if I have to. But, just make it easier and kill yourself. Your monster to the shadowhunting world" I snickered back.
"You don't understand child." Valentine boomed, standing up in his chair. "I'm not from the shadowhunting world. Not me, not Jace, and not anyone like us. We're strong" he took a step foreword. "We're fast" another step "Braver" he took another large step "Smarter" he was right in front of me "So much harder to kill." His face was right in front of mine. He pulled back extremely fast, making my head spin and he started pacing around the table.
"Jace" Valentine continued "And everyone else like him are my army. Me and him still have the same… soul, the same personality, the same me, but everyone else has no free will. Me and Jonathan got Jace to see everything better. To see you for the traitor you are, the pathetic thing. And do you know what he said when we captured you," Valentine said, rounding back to me, taking as if Jace wasn't even there. "You know what he said?" Valentine asked again, leaning down to whisper in my ear "He told me to let you burn in hell. He asked me to let him be the one to kill you. He talked about how you were a waste, a pathetic excuse of a shadow hunter, that he wished he had let the hell hounds get to you. And that he hated you for making him think that he could love you." he pulled away
For some reason I was crying. I didn't believe him. Jace would never say something like that. Yet for some reason, I was crying.
"I will never let you hurt anyone I love, like you have to Jace" I swore.
"You had been asleep for about a week" Valentine said, feigning a frown. "The war has already begun. I'll show you what your disobedience does to your friends. You killed me, so I'll return the favor and kill your little friends at the New Your institute. Tonight.."
Dun-dun-dunnnnnnnn. Okay so R&R please and tell what you think.
