(Clary's POV)
After talking to Jace about the Heavenly Fire that Glorious, I decided to go back home. I couldn't get a cab so I figured with all the training Jace has taught me I could handle myself against a mundane . Just as i was rounding the corner, I noticed a dark figure in the alley, I averted my eyes so they didn't think i was vulnerable and would attack me. Any other day i might not care if they attacked but in reality I was so tired. Tired from all the stress, worrying about Jace and Luke. Suddenly the dark figure just vanished and was suddenly in front of me I was still looking down when the dark figure chuckled with a familiar voice that sent prickles of ice down my spine.
"Hello Clarissa. Bet you thought you would never see me again, didn't you?" He said. I looked up to see Sebastain my brother looking down at me.
"Wha-... Why are you here?" I heard myself ask. i couldn't understand why i was talking to him. every bone in my body was saying run but i knew that would be absolutely pointless another part of me was saying that i should fight but i just couldn't bring myself to.
"Oh, I was just in the neighborhood. Looking for you." He smiled at me as the color drained from my face.
"What do you want Sebastian?" I asked forcing annoyance into my voice, trying to hide the genuine shock and strange fear that I really felt.
"One thing, I'm sure you know what it is too." He smiled again this time it was a very sinister smile as i shuddered he smiled wider, "You." he reached behind my head.
"No!" i tried to jerk away but he had a strong grip on the back of my neck, i felt the familiar burn of a steel and then i blacked out
(Sebastian's POV)
I used a sleep rune on Clary, she began to fall to the ground but i caught her in my arms and carried her away, i walked through my doorless home, it was a back up since Clary destroyed the other one. this one wasn't as upgraded as the other one, no TVs not electronics really, except for the Fridge I put in. I set Clary on the couch and laid her head on my lap. she looked so peaceful this way. I'd never seen something like that. Peace. I sometimes wish i knew what it was like, to be peaceful.
"Get your priorities straightened out before she wakes up." I told myself. I thought of what my plans were. Get Clary, got her. How could i get her to drink from the cup without a struggle? maybe while she's asleep? I look at her again, she's breathing pretty even. I lifted her head up off my lap and laid her back on the couch. i grabbed the Infernal Cup, It held the contents of Lilith's blood, meant to create a new race of Shadowhunters, a stronger, faster Shadowhunter. I lifted the cup to Clary's lips and she drank from it in her sleep.
I was surprised that it worked, suddenly her eyes flew open they were not what i expected, i thought perhaps they would be dark like mine but they remained green like the forest she seemed shocked again to see me so close to her and she gasped and pushed me away.
"Where am I? Why were you over me like that? What did you do to me Sebastian?" She shouted at me and i just stared at her in astonishment, "Why are you looking like you've seen a ghost?" she moved toward me, the look on her face was as if she didn't understand what her legs were doing.
"I don't understand, you shouldn't be like this... Why aren't you like me?" I heard the words come from my mouth.
Clary just looked at me, she was standing an arms length away from me she seemed to be trying to figure something out. The next thing i know shes hugging me, actually hugging me. i was surprised as her arms tightened around my neck and i wrapped my arms around her waist. suddenly there was a thud and i doubled over clutching my stomach. Clary had kneed me in my stomach, she eyed me with fury.
"What did you do to me?" She yelled.
"You drank from the cup. you should be like me now, but you're not." I got up slowly as she backed away, "Why did you hug me?" I blurted without thinking.
"I don't know. That couldn't have been me. I hate you. I'm leaving." she turned to leave.
I got up blindingly fast and stood in front of her, she stopped abruptly, "That's not possible, only I know the way out of here, and until you trust me and i trust you, you won't be learning that way out anytime soon." I said smirking a little, "You'll come around to like me soon enough, until then why don't you have a bite to eat? i have some stuff in the fridge" i gestured to the kitchen over my shoulder, "Why don't you go take a look."
she stared at me for a minute trying to process what was going on, she seemed distant, then she turned for the kitchen and disappeared through the doorway. I don't understand why she acts like this now but I noticed as she hesitated her eyes darkened like mine. perhaps she is like me but she's strong enough to try to fight it. i smiled to myself, and went in the kitchen after her, she was looking in the freezer when i walked in she looked over her shoulder and smiled at me.
"You hungry?" she asked i looked in her eyes they were completely black but they lightened up sometimes, "I'm not that great of a cook but i think i know how to make a frozen pizza" she laughed at my face, " Relax bro, you look so tense." she set the pizza on the table and turned on the oven.
"Your mood swings are going to confuse the hell out of me Clary." i said shaking my head and sitting down.
"Its not my fault our Father mixed my blood with Angel's blood. She fights back sometimes." she shrugged it off, "so maybe i should drink more from the Cup."
"I didn't think of that... Maybe you should give me your weapons and stele so she can't fight back as effectively." i held my hand out for her things.
She moved quickly disarming her seraph blade, dagger and stele and tossed them to me and i put them on my weapons belt. and handed the infernal cup to her, she drank deeply from it, "well i feel stronger, she's still gonna fight though." she said putting the pizza in the oven.
"I'm sure its nothing I couldn't handle." i smiled and relaxed a little. i thought to myself, i could get used to having her around, its not as lonely when there's someone to talk to.
