Chapter 12

I sat curled in a ball on the bed, Valentine had left but not before making sure I didn't have anymore weapons and binding my wrists with a rune. I pulled against them and winced as they burned me. I got up and went over to the window, once again trying to get them open. I heard footsteps outside the door but I ignored them before going over and laying on the bed. I closed my eyes and before I could stop myself, I was asleep again. My dreams decided I need more chaos in my life.

"Are you sure you want her mind clouded as well, she could be a better protected if she knew." a voice asked and the little girl looked up at him with a smile." I just want her to understand"

" you realize that by doing this, you are simply giving him a way to control her"

" I have no other choice, I don't want her thinking of herself as a monster"

" I could teach her to control it"

" no, I want her to grow up normal not in the world I did, but I want her unique as well"

" alright but I can't block out everything, there will be side effects"

A pain shot through my head and I opened my eyes to find that I was still in that room. I sat up and winced as I was burned again. The door opened Valentine who smiled as he stepped out of the way, revealing Jace, I frowned in confusion as did Jace." I believe this is yours" Valentine said holding up my journal and I glared at him. He tossed it to me and I caught it but missed due the position my hands were in." what is she doing here, father" at the word father, I was really confused. His father was dead, he had told us that.

" I will explain in a moment Jonathan, but for now I have business to attend to" I glared at Valentine as he left us alone. Jace went over to the window but I stayed where I was." I thought your father was dead" I mumbled but he didn't answer instead he said" I thought your was human and dead as well"

" Jace, where are the others" I asked and he sighed" Hugo attacked me and Clary, I tried to fight back but something hit me over the head, the next thing I know, I'm here." he walked over to me and sat down in the chair." What about you" he asked and I sighed.

" He kidnapped me after Magnus's party and brought me here, not really how I wanted to spend my birthday but I guess I got something out of yesterday" I smiled" I found my mom" I mumbled and he frowned. We heard a crash and Jace went over to the window, me following behind. The door opened and we looked to see Valentine, behind him were two men one who stared at me as if I had something on my face." pack your things, we are leaving" he told us and Jace smiled as he told us where we were going before walking over to him. Once Jace was out of sight, I glared at him to which he frowned" now don't be difficult, Marissa"

" I'm not going, this is my home"

" I don't believe you have a choice" The two men started toward me and I backed away, I tried everything to teleport but the pain had me holding my head in pain. I heard someone cry out and when I looked up, one of them was trying to put out a fire that started on his arm. My eyes widened as the fire spread, the other one grabbed a nearby plant and dumped the water on him but it was to late. I stood in the corner of the room, I had just killed someone.

" I'm going to go see Jonathan, you continue your packing, Marissa." Then he left with the other man. leaving me with the dead body, which I couldn't look away from. Tears filled my eyes and I slid to the ground, wishing I could just disappear. A few minutes later, the door flew open and I looked to see Jace." Rissa..." he trailed off seeing the body on the ground, a few minutes later he was joined by Clary and someone else, Luke. Clary's eyes widened and she went to walk over to me, when I yelled" no stay away from me, please just leave me alone"

" Rissa, it's alright, he's gone" Luke told me walking toward me but as he did the curtains were set alight, causing everyone to stare, well everyone but Luke. Luke walked over to me and sighed" Rissa you need to calm down"

" I....I killed him...I killed him Luke" I whispered and he reached toward me, causing me to move away." please just go away" I begged.

" we need to get her to Bane" he told Clary before I realized something. I got up and ran from the room." Rissa come back" I heard Clary yell but I stopped outside of a door that had been opened. I went over to where mom was, only to have my legs give out and my world go black as everything finally registered in my head.

Three days later...

" Rissa, you need rest" Isabelle told me and I crossed my arms.

" not while Valentine is still out there" I told her I continued down the hallway of the institute.

" Rissa, that's the Clave's job not ours" she told me as she tried to get me back into the infirmary.

" I don't care" I told her pulling away.

" Marissa Fray please get back in the Infirmary before I drag you back" she threatened and I smirked" If you catch me that is" I told her before teleporting to the library, where I hid amongst the shelves. My world spun and closed my eyes until everything stopped feeling like a roller coaster. I walked over and sat in the chair. Reaching over I pulled my journal out it's hiding place. For some reason, I found myself sketching away. When I was finished, a picture of Valentine lay before me. I glared at it before ripping it from the notebook and setting it alright, within seconds it was reduced to ashes. I sighed before getting up and leaving the library. I left the Institute and went to the hospital, passing Clary on the way in. I went up to my mom's room and Luke looked over at me" the silent brothers don't know what to do" he told me and I sighed.

" Luke, why mom want me to know"

" because you were just a kid, she wanted you to have a normal life"

" but I wasn't normal, I could teleport for crying out loud"

" well Magnus did say there would be side effects"

" I know but I could have handled it"

" Handled it? you were 2" he smirked and I shrugged" most of it anyway"

" most kids grow up to be teachers, cops, inventers, not Warlocks" he pointed out and I rolled my eyes." well I'm not most kids" i told him before leaving.
