Nephilim Love

Chapter 22

Raziel

Everything worked as plan and the Shadowhunters brought Clary and the child to me. I had them placed in the room that I prepared and made sure she was disarmed. There is no guarantee how long I have before Jace will show up to rescue them.

"Aldertree, is Clary secured?"

"Yes, my lord, as you asked. She will not be able to escape and she does not have her weapons or stele."

"That is good. I will go and have a word with her. Then I am going to kill her just like I said. Clary and her child will no longer be a threat."

"Raziel, my lord, are you sure that this is the right thing to do?"

"Of course it is. We cannot let the three of them live because they are dangerous together."

"You do know that Jace will come after you to end you? He is after all one of our best warriors. He will not stop until he gets his revenge. You will turn him into a dangerous warrior."

"Then Jace Herondale will die too, along with his wife and child."

I walked out of the room thinking about what Aldertree said about Jace. He will come after me, but I think I can handle him. We were in an abandoned warehouse and it was cold and humid. There was a lot of debris so I was careful walking along the corridor. I arrived at the room where Clary is being held. She has also turned out to be a strong Shadowhunter so she is manacled by one foot to the wall. She will not be able to touch me. Today will be her last day alive.

Jace

I took off my wedding band and activated my tracking rune and Alec did the same. We put our hands together and tried to track Clary. It seems that she is somewhere in Brooklyn and we decided to go to Alec's house and come up with a plan. We decided that we were going to keep this to ourselves and the team would be composed of Alec, Izzy, Simon, Magnus, and Luke. Maryse wanted to come, but with her not being a Shadowhunter, we could not take our chances of her getting hurt. Magnus opened a portal and we all walked through it with Magnus being the last one so that he can close it behind him. We were in Brooklyn not far from where Clary and Chris were being held as hostages.

"Hey Jace, I was just thinking why Chris did not protect them like he did where we were attacked at the alley?" Izzy had been thinking about this since they arrived at Alec's and Magnus'shouse.

"When Chris threw the barrier around Clary and we were able to cross it, it was because we were being attacked by demons. The people that took them were Shadowhunters so I think that is why the barrier did not go up."

"That makes sense. I hope they are alright."

"They will be, Izzy. They must."

"Izzy, do not put more stress on Jace, because he is stressed enough as it is." Alec overheard the conversation.

"I am so sorry, Jace. I did not mean to do that."

"It is okay, Izzy, but right now we need to concentrate on the matter at hand. Go in, locate Clary and the Baby, and get them out unharmed."

"Jace, I took the liberty of asking the Clave for help. There are Shadowhunters surrounding the warehouse as we speak. I want to make sure the rescue goes without a hitch."

"Thanks, Alec. We can use all the help we can get."

Clary

I woke up in a strange room and in a strange bed. Chris was asleep next to me. I went to get up and found out that I am changed to the wall by one of my ankles. My head hurt but my stele and my kindjals were gone. I heard the lock of the door rattling and a Shadowhunter came in. He looked very familiar but at the moment I could not think where I have seen him before. The only thing about this man is that he had certain runes that I have never seen before. He just smiled at me before he spoke.
