Olivia hissed and furiously bit down on her lip, ignoring the sharp pain that erupted inside her mouth.  

He experimented on him.

Valentine experimented on Jace.

I'm going to kill, Olivia thought, I am going to kill him for this.

'' He showed me a memory..a memory in which he-'' Jace sucked in a breath sharply, and Olivia flinched. The pain in his voice was too much for her to bear. ''-he injected demonic blood in me while I was still in Jocelyn's womb.'' 

He injected demonic blood in me while I was still in Jocelyn's womb. Olivia exhaled and gritted her teeth together. She remembered how angry she had been when Magnus had told her that Valentine had injected her with werewolf blood . She remembered how betrayed and how hurt she had been by the news that her own father had experimented on her. She remembered all of it, but the girl wasn't furious at Valentine for that--not in this moment at least-- no, she was furious at Valentine because he had done the same things to Jace.

''It's makes sense, now. Why I have this darkness inside of me, why I am so ruthless and heartless-''

''Jace, no.'' Olivia placed her hand on top of his and he gasped. Her touch was warm against his cold skin. ''Having demon blood doesn't define you-''

Jace shook his head. ''Maybe it does, Olivia. Maybe it does.''

''It doesn't.'' she stated firmly. ''I have demonic blood too-''

''But that is different.'' he said and looked up at her. ''You aren't ruthless or merciless or coldhearted. You aren't like me. You're good and kind and pure and angelic and understanding and that's what made me fa-'' Jace paused and widened his eyes as he realized  what he had been about to say.

And that's what made me fall in love with you.

Jace inhaled and cursed under his breath. He had almost told Olivia, his sister, about the unbrotherly feelings that he had for her. God, what was wrong with him?

Stupid, stupid, so so stupid. 

''Jace?'' Olivia frowned. ''Jace, what is it? What were you saying-''

''Nothing.'' he sighed and shook his head. ''It's nothing, Olivia, just forget I-''

Before he could complete his sentence, the room's door suddenly flew open and in stepped Valentine. His eyes instantly landed on them, and a smirk--that represented nothing but chaos--made it's way onto his lips. ''Get ready.'' he ordered. ''I have to show you two something.''
