Clary x Male!Reader

Clary yelled, kicking and screaming as she tried desperately to fight off her attackers. They tied her down to a chair and that was when she got her first really good look at them.

Some had horns, others had eyes like Magnus'. Warlocks of Downworlders of some kind Clary thought, though she wasn't experienced enough to make a solid guess. She tried her best to loosen to ropes they used to tie her down with. She could hear Simon yelling and shouting from another room.

"What do you want!" Clary shouted.

"(Y/N) (Y/L/N)." One of her captors snapped. She stared at them. No idea what you could have possibly done to get involved with Downworlders.

"Excuse me?" She said in shock.

"We want the warlock, (Y/N) (Y/L/N). We want him now. He was supposed to be working for us but one of you Nephilim had to get involved. So tell him he helps us. Or next time we won't let you go." The other captor said. Clary glared at them. They had to have been mistaken. But just as quickly as she and Simon had been snatched off the street they found themselves tossed out and abandoned. Clary hurried to see if Simon was ok and the two of them started to make their way to your house.

"They said that (Y/N) is a warlock. There's no way he's a warlock right? We've known them for years. We grew up with them." Simon said as the two of them hurried along the street and turned down an alleyway that cut out several blocks.

"These days I don't know which way is up. We'll just have to find (Y/N) and talk to them. We need to warn them too. Whatever they wanted him to work on can't have been good." Clary insisted as she led the way to your apartment, four doors down from where Clary used to live and hurried to knock on the door.

*****************

It had been a while since Clary and Simon were attacked. Since then Magnus had found out the work you were supposed to be doing for the other warlocks. They had wanted you to kidnap humans for them. Smuggle them out of Shadowhunter-protected areas so they could do, who knows what, with them.

When Clary confronted you, you had admitted that you were avoiding doing the work for them. But she couldn't get you to give her a clear answer that if they came and forced you, would you follow through or not?

When people started to go missing and you couldn't prove that it wasn't you Clary spent hours shouting at you. Telling you how you'd betrayed her and Simon, how they'd trusted you, grown up with you and now. All they knew about you was villainy beyond anything they could comprehend. When you told her you thought she was being over dramatic she had become too furious to speak and stormed out. You hadn't seen her for weeks after that.

"Warlock!" A seething voice called out. Turning on your doorstep you found one of the older warlocks that you were supposed to be working with.

"What do you want?" You asked.

"For you to do your part." They answered and glared at you. It was starting to get dark and you could see something out of the corner of your eye. A vampire, though without looking directly at them you couldn't be sure who it was. There wasn't a chance that you would look away from the warlock in front of you until he backed off.

"I told you. I'm not helping you kidnap mundanes. Find someone else." You snapped. The older warlock shrugged and then smiled at you, revealing rows of sharp teeth.

"Fine." His hand flew up before you could react and you felt yourself being blown backwards through a portal. Simon had been watching from the rooftop. He ducked down as the warlock passed down the road and waited until the coast was clear. He tried to search for you but was quickly certain that the portal had whisked you away rather than forced you back into your apartment's front hallway as he'd hoped.

He hurried to get to the institute. Alarms blared as he hurried to find Clary. He heard Alec behind him telling people to let him through.

"They took (Y/N)." Simon said. He found Clary in a side room with Jace, Magnus and Izzy.

"What?" Clary said.

"He was refusing to help them kidnap Mundanes. This warlock with loads of teeth. He pushed him through a portal." Simon explained. Clary's eyes started to tear up. She'd doubted you and felt immediately guilty.

"Well. We should go and look for him." Clary said when her voice was strong enough.

"I wouldn't advise that. If you're describing who I think you are. Then you don't want to be on that warlock's radar. We should do this rather carefully. It won't end well for us if we rush into it." Magnus advised. Clary nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes as Jace stepped closer.

"So where do we start?" He asked.

"Pandemonium. There's a little lowlife of a warlock that knows him. We start with him and work our way up until we find (Y/N)." Magnus said firmly. As he spoke Alec entered the room and once Izzy caught him up he agreed. He left to get permission to gather Shadowhunters to help bring in the warlock who had taken you. Simon went to ask the vampires for help and Clary went with Jace and Izzy to ask Luke for help or to at least put out the word that a warlock was snatching people off the street and he wasn't above taking out downworlders to do it.
