Clary grabbed Jace's strong hard and pulled him out of the room after Luke. Jace made a sound of protest but Clary slammed a finger to his lips.
"We don't know if we can trust him", he whispered. Clary rolled her eyes. Jace clearly never trusts anybody but himself, she thought.
"Of course we can, he will help us", she replied. Jace rubbed his eyes and Clary suddenly noticed how tired he looked. Huge dark circles were under his eyes and he was yawning a lot. He had been helping her for an awfully long time.
"Thanks for helping me Jace", she said and Jace looked up at her. Something changed in his eyes, like a spark lighting up.
"Clary I need to tell you something", he said. Clary tilted her head and raised her eyebrows at him. What would he want to tell her?
"It's just that, I've had these feelings and-", before he could continue Luke spun round and signalled to the door in front of them. Jace promptly shut his mouth and they all crept to the small wooden door.
"You think my mum is in there?" Clary asked. Luke shook his head.
"No, I think this door leads somewhere where the leader is". Luke responded. Clary gulped, was she ready to fight for her mum?
"Come on", Jace said disrupting her chain of thoughts. Clary stepped forward and turned the handle and was instantly sucked into the darkness.

Izzy woke up with a throbbing headache. She felt like she had a hangover, anything to get Simon off her mind. His name sent alarm bells ringing through her. Staggering up, she looked around and instantly saw the warlock, her brother and Simon still asleep on the grass.
"Guys", she shouted. They didn't wake. Panic rose in her chest, she would just have to wait for them to wake up. Izzy noticed that Clary and the golden boy had gone, probably looking for her mother. Izzy had seen the way he looked at her, definitely more than a brother. Clary never saw it, it was like she was immune to his feelings. With a sigh, she sat down. She would just have to wait until they all woke up.

Clary landed with a thump on a cold hard floor. After a few seconds, Jace landed beside her followed by Luke. They all sat up and looked around the huge hall. It was a bit like a church, with spirals hanging from the ceiling. The floor was covered with black and white tiles and at the back of the room, there was a carpeted area with a wooden stand, the sort of thing you would use to make a speech. Clary stood up and sighed. There was nobody here.
"Luke, where are we?" She asked. Luke didn't reply.
"Luke?" She asked again. Instead of replying, he bent over backwards and started screaming.
"LUKE, JACE HELP HIM", Clary shouted but Jace pulled her back.
"He's changing form Clary", Jace said into her ear. Clary was about to reply when Luke's bones started changing shape. His eyes went black and bulged out of his head. A huge bug like demon was standing in front of the two teenagers.
"You were right", she whispered. Jace despite being in a near death situation, chuckled.
"I'm always right", he replied. He then took out his sword and named it. Clary did the same. Jace then lunged forward and stabbed the demon in the heart. It crumbled away into a thick ash.
"Let's get out of here, nobody's here", Clary said while panting.
"Are you sure about that?" A voice said. The voice bounced around the walls and filled Clary with dread. She looked up slowly to the carpeted area at the back of the hall.
"W-w-what are you doing here?" Clary stuttered. The person laughed and walked forward to the wooden stand.
"You recognise me, I'm impressed", the person said. Clary felt Jace tense beside her, he was like a cat about to pounce.
"Sebastian", he hissed. Sebastian smiled, a dark cunning grin which sent shivers cascading down her spine.
"You started all of this?" Clary said which as much courage as she could. Sebastian bowed slowly, he was obviously proud of being a murderer.
"Yes, my dear", he said and his voice made Clary want to be sick with dread.
"Where is Clary's mum?" Jace said. His voice was layered with hatred.
"Guards, bring Jocelyn", Sebastian called. Clary's nerves tightened, would she be ok? About ten people dressed in red fighting gear came out and they were dragging a lady who was trying calling her name.
"MUM", Clary shouted and lunged forward with her dagger at Sebastian. Sebastian clicked his fingers and the dagger vanished.
"Now, now, do you want her back in one piece?" Sebastian asked. Anger rose in her chest, how dare he use her mother to get what he wanted.
"What do you want Sebastian?" Jace asked for her. Sebastian grinned and turned to look at Clary.
"So Clary, how have you been feeling lately?"'Sebastian asked. Clary was taken back, did he care?
"Fine", she relied quickly. It wasn't the truth, but it would have to do.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Why do you care you crazy madman", Jace said. Sebastian grinned at them both and took a step forward.
"Have you been felling...sick?" Sebastian said and Clary nodded. She had to tell the truth.
"Good, good", Sebastian said quietly.
"Let my mum go", Clary said but Sebastian shook his head.
"Soon, soon", he said. Clary couldn't believe it, why was he doing this?
"What do you want me to do?" She said. Sebastian leaned against the wooden pillar and pushed a bit of hair out of his eyes.
"You have already done it Clary, we just have to wait", Sebastian replied. Clary had no idea what the he was going on about.
"Done what? You're not making any sense Sebastian", Clary retorted. Jace looked like he was about to kill him, Clary wished someone would.
"I guess it will take a bit, sadly I can only sped it up till tomorrow morning", Sebastian said ignoring her question.
"Clary is completely normal, there's nothing wrong with her that I know of", Jace said from the corner. Clary could see her mum looking worried, a silence rune was on her arm.
"Oh come on, she's practically glowing already", Sebastian said loudly. The room started spinning.
"W-w-what?", she whispered.
"Oh Clary, you thought you were just putting on a little weight, that you were FINE?" Sebastian shouted. Clary couldn't stop his voice going through her, like fire. She turned and looked at Jace who was as white as a sheet.
"Yes, it is what you two are thinking, the impossible, the unbelievable", Sebastian continued. He was clearly enjoying every second.
"No, no, it can't be, Clary an-", Jace said but Sebastian cut him off.
"You didn't remember me giving you those drinks, the fairy powder never fails to impress", Sebastian said. Clary thought she was going to be sick.
"How do you know?" Clary whispered.
"You were part of my plan, I had to make sure that you were", he replied. Clary looked at Jace but he turned away. It was like a nightmare that you couldn't wake up from.
"Then I made sure you would come and find your precious mother, good old Luke brought you here", he said.
"Where's the real Luke?" Jace said while looking at the floor.
"Dead", Sebastian replied breezily.
"So, my dear pregnant sister Clary, don't you want to know why I need you and Jace's baby?" He asked.
"SISTER", Jace and Clary screamed at the same time.
"Yes, your dear mother cast me out, I guess that's why she took YOU in", Sebastian said and his voice was full of venom towards Jace.
"You're my brother?" Clary said and Sebastian nodded. Before she could say anything, Sebastian clapped his hands.
"Now, that baby should be here soon thanks to that drink, before you ask, it speeds up pregnancy, than I can use your full angel born baby's blood to breed an army of angels, who will then drink from my cup and become just like me but stronger and more powerful", Sebastian exclaimed. Clary screamed, there was nothing that she could say which would make it better. She looked at her mum who had her eyes closed, probably with disappointment.
"Now, we wait", Sebastian said. Clary sank down to her knees and put her head in her hands. She felt like she might faint.
"That won't be good for the baby", Sebastian said while laughing. Her fear was suddenly replaced with anger. How dare he ruin her entire life!
"YOU EVIL MAN, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME IF I REALLY AM YOUR SISTER, YOU WILL NEVER BE A BROTHER TO ME", she said and started running towards him.
"Jace, get that pregnant bitch away from me", Sebastian said. Jace grabbed Clary and pulled her against him.
"Thanks", Sebastian said.
"I didn't do it for you", Jace spat. Clary couldn't take it any longer, she leant against Jace and cried until she had no tears left.

Hey everyone,
I know I haven't updated in forever. I've just been really busy with homework, clubs and social events. I'm so sorry and I really hope it won't happen again. I guess reviews stopped happening and that's what really makes me want to update sooner. Anyway, I just wanted to start by saying how sorry I am.
So, Clary's pregnant! Sebastian is so evil, I find it fun writing him! His plans for the baby is awful though! Please review what gender you want the baby to be and names as I'm completely stuck!
Thanks, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I tried to make it long to make up for everything!
