Mortal Fire

Chapter 9

SEB'S POV

A week.

A week I've been without them. I been with out their sweet, gentle touches that pieces my broken heart back together. A week without hearing their voices that make me smile. A week without ever seeing the smiles on their faces that give me a reason to get up in the morning. My heart is falling apart without them. It hurts like those many years before I ever found Clary.

The memories of those years make me cringe. All the things I did before I met her. Sometimes I wonder why she choice me to love her. How could she love someone like me? How does she look at me and smile that smile that lights up the whole world. How could she hold me in her strong arms and kiss me like she's the one who needs me.How could I be Little Luke's father when I couldn't protect him. How could they both love me when I didn't save them?

A knock on the door brings me out of my depressing thoughts. I get off of the bed and walk over to the door. I rub my eyes so no one can see the tears I'm fighting back. Just like Clary would.  I open the door to Luke.

"The asked me to come get you." He awkwardly says. I can't bear to me his eyes. Knowing that I didn't save his only child. Since the day Clary and I had meet she always made a point to let me know just how important Luke was to her. Looking at him now I can't help but feel that I let him and her down.

"Alright." I say walking out and following him to the kitchen. As we enter I see everyone is already waiting . Luke goes and sits with Jocelyn while I go and sit next to Maria. "Any news ?"

"Nothing to report hermano its like they just disappeared into thin air." Chun Cho says leaning on the counter with Alex. As I sit down Maria wraps her arms around my shoulders and Jose comes and puts  a hand on my shoulder. They give each other the look that Clary and I give each other when there is something wrong with our son. Jose got here just yesterday after getting permission from the Clave, who he cussed out in both English and Spanish as he walked through the portal.

"What about Amatis?"

"Nothing at all she's still unconscious." Jace explains giving me a death glare. Something in me snaps at his look. What right does he have to look at me like that? I glare back.

"Problem?" He asks like an innocent child.

"Ya I do could you grow a pair and stop acting like a little kid. We all have more important things to deal with  rather than having to make sure you don't get yourself or one  of us killed. I also don't appreciate you trying to steal my wife away."

"Wife?" His voice is shattering at the mere words I just spoke.

"Yes..." I'm about to continue when Charlotte dashes into the room with a my phone.

"Seb.. It's for you" she hands me the phone I stare at it worriedly for a moment before looking over at Charlotte." It's Clary. She asked to talk to you and no one else."

"Clary..." I breath into the phone afraid of who or what will answer back.

"Seb." My heart melts at the mere sound of her voice. Tears spring to my eyes I look up and nod at everyone letting them know its really her." Seb, mi amor, we have to hurry he'll be back soon."

"Who will be back?"

"Sebastian." She's trying to muffle the sounds of her tears but I can still hear the pain in her voice and it hurts. It hurts that I can help her. That I can't pull her into my arms and protect her.

"What has he done?" The anger in my voice makes everyone in the room stand up straighter. They all stare at me knowing that something is very wrong.
