"And he spoke to you?" Jace asks Clary as he holds the necklace as he and Leya looks at it inside his room.
"He said my name. He said, 'Your mother for the cup'." Clary tells Jace.
"Who said that?" Alec asks as he stands in the doorway of Jace's room.
"Valentine." Clary, Jace and Leya says as they look at Alec.
"He's with my mother." Clary says.
"And he can speak to you through that necklace? Here, in the institute?" Alec asks as he walks into the room.
"It's like when I saw Dot." Clary says.
"It's a portal shard. That's why your mother made sure you had it." Jace says as he looks at the necklace again.
"All I know is what I saw...my mother's alive." Clary says.
"Jocelyn's alive?" Leya asks Clary.
"She's unconscious, but alive." Clary says.
"Where are they?" Alec asks Clary.
"I don't know." Clary says.
"But you said you saw them. Were there any identifying characteristics? Equipment, weapons, photographs?" Alec says.
"I don't remember. It was awful." Clary says.
"Alec, lighten up." Jace tells Alec.
"She's frantic Alec no more questions." Leya tells Alec.
"I'm trying to get something we can use out of this. Clary, what did you see, exactly?" Alec says.
"Valentine has my mother. That's what I saw." Clary tells him.
"Emotions are nothing but a distraction. You are ruled by them. We're taught to control them." Alec says.
"And how is that working out for you?" Clary asks.
"It's my job to 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. Now, it's in the proper hands." Alec says as Jace hands him the necklace and walks out of the room.
"Hey! Alec...where are you going?" Clary says as she runs after Alec with Jace and Leya behind her.
"To put this somewhere safe. Where no one could be tempted to use it." Alec says.
