WANNA BE YOURS |jace wayland|

valentine

i sat up.

i remember.

i remember everything.

i looked over at the other couch that was sat in front of me, jocelyn was laid down sleeping.

"mom?" i stood up as i walked over to her side, or should i even call her that?

"how'd you sleep?" a deep voice asked me.

i looked around my environment, i was laid down on the couch in the library. i looked over at who said that.

"valentine." i scoffed out as i stood up.

"uncle valentine to you, young lady."

"you are not my uncle. nor are you anything to me."

valentine laughed a bit, "now that's funny."

"where the hell is my sister." i said sternly. i wasn't asking a question, i was demanding an answer.

he scoffed, "that girl isn't your fucking sister. she's your cousin. at least get it right if you're going to demand such a thing."

"it doesn't matter what she is to me! she's family. i'm gonna ask again, where the hell is my sister?" i spoke up again.

"she ran through that." he said as he pointed to a pool of water in the wall, it's a portal. "she jumped in to get jocelyn. a bit of a step back, but it won't change anything. obviously, she jumped in there for absolutely no reason due to the fact that jocelyn is right here." he chuckled, "she is my daughter." he said referring to clary, "and you are my niece. think about it. we can rule the world. all three of us. don't you want that?"

"no."

valentine stepped closer to me, "whose side are you on? i am your family. are you really gonna choose some people you just met over your own family?"

i stopped for a second.

he was right.

jace, isabelle, alec, simon— even simon.. i just met them.. i don't even know if i can really trust them. clary is my family. but so is valentine...

"jocelyn and i may not be together anymore, but i am still clarys father. and you are still my niece." valentine spoke again, he was trying to convince me.

i wasn't sure if it was working or not..

"do you remember when you were a lot younger? how i would train you? i taught you every little thing you know. why did i do that? because you're family and i love you."

he took another few steps closer to me, we were now face to face.

"think about how amazing it would feel to win. to get everything you wanted. to rule the world, julia. you could live every single day with family. your family. clary, jocelyn, maybe even luke, and cassie."

cassie? my mom..

"let me ask you something." i looked up at him.

"yes?"

"who is my father?"

valentine smirked, "now that, that is something you'd have to ask your mother about. you could even ask jocelyn."

maybe he was right. to rule the world, to win, to get everything i've ever wanted. i am his niece after all.

"so what will it be?" valentine asked as he held out his hand to me, "join me and we can take over the world or you can die like everyone else. you could be my right hand woman. i trained you and taught you everything that you know. i created you into the perfect image of myself. you are way stronger than you think you are. and now that you remember, you can see that you are so powerful. maybe even more powerful then me. and julia, i am one powerful man."
