"Good morning." Jonathan says to Leya as she wakes on the couch in the apartment, and she sits up.
"Who the hell are you?" Leya asks him.
"Don't you see the family resemblance?" Jonathan asks and Leya gets up and walks over to his coffin to see it empty and turns to face him.
"Jonthan." Leya says.
"In the flesh. Resurrection brought back my real face." Jonathan tells her.
"Where's Lilith?" Leya asks.
"Back in Edom. Where she belongs. You've been asleep for days. You must be starving. How about I make you some breakfast and a nice cup of tea? I got Earl Grey, your favorite..." Jonthan tells her and Leya scoffs and walks past him and then stops and turns towards him and moves her hair and points to the symbol carved into her neck.
"What did she do to me?" Leya asks and Jonthan points to his.
"Kind of like our family emblem." Jonthan tells her as he walks over to her.
"It's what brought you back to life. Nothing more." Leya tells him.
"It's a symbol of our bond. I wouldn't be alive without my little sister." Jonathan tells her.
"If it were up to me, it never would have happened. Where are we?" Leya asks as she walks over to the curtains and open them to see snow outside.
"Siberia." Jonathan tells her.
"The apartment can move?" Leya asks.
"Cool, huh?" Jonathan asks.
"Of all places, why in the hell choose Siberia?" Leya asks as she walks away from Jonathan.
"Lilith sent us here to keep us safe. You're an escaped prisoner, Leya. If the clave found out you were still alive, they would kill you on sight. Don't worry, they will never find you. I'll make sure of it." Jonathan tells her.
"If you're looking for a thank you, it's not going to be with me." Leya tells him and then Jonathan chuckles.
"You don't have to thank me. You're my sister. I'll do whatever it takes to protect you. You're the only family that I have." Jonathan tells her.
"I guess I could say the same about you but there's Clary our youngest sister. You know, I am actually kind of hungry. How about that breakfast?" Leya tells him.
"Of course. Coming right up." Jonathan tells her and she waits until he's out of sight and runs for the doors grabbing a jacket on the way and pushes the elevator button repeatedly and then pries the door open.
"Leya, come on! You can't go out there. You're never going to survive." Jonathan tells her as he walks back into the room.
"Watch me!" Leya tells him and puts on the jacket and runs out of the doors away from the cabin quickly and glances back for Jonathan as she runs. Leya looks back and sees Jonathan walking after her and quickly turns around and runs through the trees a piece of red hair being left behind as she does. Leya finally stops running as she stops at a hill and looks out to the horizon only to see more snow and then her eyes flutter shut, and she rolls down the hill and stops at the bottom with her eyes closed shut. ••• "Here. It'll help you get your strength back." Jonathan tells Leya as she sits in a chair in front of the fireplace, and he hands her a bowl of soup.
"I don't want anything from you." Leya tells him.
"I understand that you don't trust me. But I would like to ask you to try." Jonathan tells her.
"How could I ever possibly trust you? After everything you've done?" Leya asks.
"Because I'm your brother. Because we're actually not that different, you and me." Jonathan tells her.
"I am nothing like you." Leya tells him and he walks over the table and sets the bowl of soup down.
"I may have demon blood, but so do others that you love: Simon, Magnus, Luke. You know, my curse started the day that I was abandoned by my birth mother. Our mother. Would you be any different if you were raised by a sadistic father?" Jonathan tells her.
"News flash I was raised by Valentine and so was Jace." Leya tells him.
"You and Jace...weren't sent to Edom to be burned by Lilith." Jonathan tells her.
"Jonathan, if you're looking for pity, you're wasting your breath with me." Leya tells him as she stands up and walks towards the window.
"I'm not interested in pity. Just understanding. I can't deny the things I've done. But you need to know that's behind me now. I can change. I want to change. Because...whatever good exists inside of you, at least some of that has got to be inside of me too. Somewhere. I intend to prove that to you. I should get some more firewood. I'll be back. Soon." Jonathan tells her and then walks away towards the elevator and Leya looks down at the table and sees a butter knife sitting there. ••• "Sorry it took so long. The weather's brutal out there. The good news is we won't be here much longer. The apartment can take us wherever we want to go. And if I recall...one place that my sister has always dreamed of visiting ever since she was a little girl." Jonathan says as she walks in takes off his jacket and dumps the firewood by the fireplace and walks over to Leya as she walks around the table and discreetly grabs the knife and holds it behind her back.
"Paris." Leya tells him.
"Absolument." Jonathan tells her as he takes a step forward and then Leya stabs him through his tongue from under his chin and he gasps as blood pours out of his mouth and then Leya has blood pouring out from her mouth and she gasps and lets go of Jonathan and falls to the floor with Jonathan and Jonathan takes out his stele and runs it over his Iratze rune on his neck and Leya inhales sharply and stands up from the floor quickly as Jonathan does the same and they look at each other as Jonathan wipes the blood from his face.
"Amazing." Jonathan tells her.
"No!" Leya exclaims.
"We are one now, little sister. You and I...we are one." Jonathan tells her.
