ruthless ( 1# of the broken hearts series)

chapter 7 ~ Caged

Clary P.O.V

I found myself tied onto a chair and I saw Jace sitting in front of me with a smirk planted on his face. "Let me go Jace, I swear once I'm untied I'm going to kick your butt!"I screeched this at him while I was trying to break free. I almost forgot that I had a knife up my sleeve but how was I going to get it?

Jace P.O.V

I felt kind of terrible about kidnapping Sebastian and Clary, but since I tried playing fair nothing has been going my way. I chuckled when Clary threatened to kick my butt because I knew I had the upper hand. "Clary , just to let you know if you make one move to hurt me Sebastian gets tortured" I said this when I noticed Clary was able to get her hands on a knife and was sawing the ropes that held her hands together.

Sebastian P.O.V

Once I woke up I found myself tied onto the wall and I saw outline of a women with a curvy figure at the doorway. Her back was turned so I was able to her see her black almost black as midnight shiny hair which reminded me of Alice, even thought I knew Alice would never betray me like this. When the mysterious female turned around I automatically knew it was Alice. Why would she do this to me? Did Jace force her? I could see tears running down her face but I couldn't quite tell if there were real. Even if they were real I felt no sympathy for her not even one ounce, the only thing I felt was betrayal and hatred toward her. I knew I could never forgive her. As she approached me I notice her frown was replaced with a smirk on her face which means all those tears I saw were fake. I also notice she had a whip in her hand which means that her job was meant to torture me. Jace's plans were so easy to figure out let me guess; he was using me to black mail Clary. "Alice just to let you know your trash to me now" I had a slanted frown on my face as I said this to express my hatred toward her more.

Alice P.O.V

I actually never felt bad about helping kidnapping Sebastian and Clary because Jace promised me that I would have Sebastian all to myself. Kind of sick right, but I didn't care much the only thing I want is Sebastian to myself , I will do whatever it takes. "You won't be saying I'm trash once Clary goes back to Jace" I said this because I knew if Jace was using Sebastian to black mail Clary, she would run back to him with a snap of my finger." I will never forgive you Alice, you can rot in hell forever like I care" Sebastian replied to almost automatically like he had this whole conversation planned out. His replied shattered my heart but I won't give up easily, I needed him with me and not Clary.

Clary P.O.V

Once I finished cutting my hands I rubbed my aching wrists which had bruises all over it. I lean back with my arms crossed across my chest with an angry look on my face; I couldn't stand looking at the smile on his face. The only thing I wanted to do was to smack the right smile off his face and to save Sebastian. I lifted myself off the very uncomfortable wooden chair and walked toward the door, I heard Jace follow me and I didn't care. I turned the door knob and elbowed Jace in the nose when I noticed he came closer. I ran with all my might until I reached the end of the hallway."Dang it, dead end" I sighed after I said this. I turned around and saw Jace behind me with a bloody nose and a frown on his face. I was literally pinned against the wall; I could feel his hot breathe on my neck as he spoke into my ear "that was a very bad move Clary"

Jace P.O.V

I stepped back after pinning Clary against the wall; I gazed at her for a second and grabbed her wrist not realizing how tight I was holding it. I began to drag her toward the room which I kept her captive and swung open the door with force. I wiped my bloody nose with my free hand and shoved Clary back onto the wooden chair. "Do I really have to tie you up again?" I said this still slightly still angry at her for elbowing me in the nose.

"No you don't "

"Why did you elbow me Clary?"
"I told you once I get untied I was going to kick your butt remember?"

I sighed as I forgot that she threatened to do that. I shrugged off her reminder and placed my hand on her chin examining her face closely. I lifted my hand now and slapped Clary's face with force now causing her cheek to slightly swell. Clary just stared at me for a moment; I could see the hatred forming in her eyes as she slapped my hand from her face. "You happy now?" she said this after I backed away from her. I nodded and turned my back away from her and picked up my phone. I dialed Alice's number and told her to begin torturing Sebastian since after all I did warn Clary also. I said this loudly so Clary could hear the whole conversation; I turned myself facing her now as I saw the slightly surprised look on her face now. "You didn't have to do that Jace" she said this with tears forming in her eyes now. I could see her slightly shaking with fear for Sebastian's safety which slightly pissed me off.

Alice P.O.V

After finishing the call with Jace, I struck Sebastian with the whip about five times which didn't even make him flinch. I gave up after a while realizing that Sebastian had a huge pain tolerance. I gazed at him after a while and thought to myself maybe if I free him, he would forgive me. I grabbed a knife from the table and began to cut the ropes that held him onto the wall and stepped back. I fell to my knees and started to sob. I looked him in the eye and he couldn't even look at me back. He approached me and grabbed my arm and pulled me up. He placed his hand on my face and wiped my tears. "You made the right choice Alice, but I can never forgive you for this" He said this after turning his back to me. "The exit is that way" I replied this pointing toward the wooden door at the corner of the room. "Thank you Alice" he said this while stepping through the door giving me one last look.
