"And he spoke to you?" Jace questions clary as he holds her necklace in his hand.
"He said my name, your mother for the cup"
"Who said that?" The three of us turn to find Alec standing behind us.
"Valentine, he's with our mom" I tell him.
"And he can speak to you through that necklace? Here, in the institute?"Alec asks clary.
"It's like when I saw dot" clary explains as Jace continues to study the necklace.
"It's a portal shard. That's why your mother made sure you had it" Jace concludes.
"All I know is that our mom is alive. Unconscious, but alive" clary sighs.
"Where are they?"
"I don't know" clary stammers.
"But you said you saw them. Were there any identifying characteristics? Equipment,weapons, photographs?" Alec asks
"I don't remember! It was awful!" Clary snaps at him.
"Leave her alone Alec" I warn him.
"I'm trying to get something we can use out of this. Clary, what did you see exactly?" Alec asks her
"Valentine has our mother, that's what I saw" clary growls angrily.
"Emotions are nothing but a distraction. You're ruled by them. We're taught to control them" Alec huffs
"And how is that working out for you?" I scoff at him.

 We're taught to control them" Alec huffs"And how is that working out for you?" I scoff at him

"It is my Job protect the institute. If Valentine can see in, that's a door I have to shut. Now let me take a look at that thing" Alec says and then clary hands him the necklace.
"Now it's in the proper hands" he adds before he starts waking out of the room.
"Alec where are you going?" Clary questions him as we follow him to the training room
"To put this somewhere safe. Where no one will be tempted to use it" Alec explains
"We should use it. Alec, we should use it to find Valentine" Jace tells him
"If I were Valentine I'd make you think that you could rescue Jocelyn. And then I'd lure y/n and clary to me and leverage their lives for the cup"
"I like Jace's idea" Jason chimes in the conversation as he joins us
"Well, it helped us save Simon from the vampires" I point out.
"Yeah, vampires. Bored, decadent, self-involved vampires. Valentine is a real threat" Alec says before he uses his stele to open a tile that's implanted in the floor.
He put the necklace in it and close it.
"He can't be handled by four and a half Shadowhunters"
"Six" I correct him
"Whatever. Leave it there".———————————————————————
"There you guys are" Izzy says as she walks into my room where clary and I are.
"Are you okay?"
"I saw our mom. Then your brother-"
"I heard. And believe me, there have been many times where I wanted to kill Alec" Izzy sighs in frustration
"Look, I know my brother can be a real pain in the ass but he means well. That necklace is very dangerous"
lI'll take the risk my own" clary huff
"Not alone clar" I remind her that I'm here too.
"You're part of us now" Izzy nods in agreement.
"I just- I wish I knew what to do. This is all new to me. I'll do anything save her" clary sighs
"I get it, you both love her" Izzy smiles
"More than anything" I agree
"What's she like? Your mother"

 I'll do anything save her" clary sighs"I get it, you both love her" Izzy smiles "More than anything" I agree"What's she like? Your mother"
