Jocelyn's POV

   I wake up to see that I am strapped to a table. I look around the room and see that the two other people are gone. Luke is now in a cage. I open my mouth to start screaming Clary's name again when the door swings open. A petite figure comes in and shuts the door again. It is Clary and she walks over to me. She tosses something into Luke's cage.

   "Put that on Luke," she says. She reaches the table and starts to get me out of the straps on the table. 

   "Clary," I say.

    "I'm fine Mom," she says, "you're going to be getting dressed in my room. I will get Luke on our way to the dining room. You need to do as Valentine says."

   I just nod as she helps me stand up. She tells Luke that she will be back as we leave the room. She takes me to a room that I am guessing is the room she said was her room. The girl that was in one of the cages is sitting on a bed. She is wearing a black leather skirt and a black tank top. She has a fancy dress jacket and black flats on. That's when I see what Clary is wearing. A black mini dress with a leather jacket and black combat boots.

   "Why are you doing what he asks you?" I ask her.

   "It's the only way we can survive," she whispers to me.

   "Who is this?" I ask her.

   "This is Maximum and her brother Fang is in another room," she tells me before going into a closet. She comes back out with a dress and hands it to me. I look at it and shake my head.

     "No," I say, "I am not wearing this."

    "Mom he is threatening to kill Jade," Clary whispers, "wear the dress and let me talk to him about the baby."

    I sigh and nod as she leads me to a bathroom. I get dressed and go back into the room. Clary does my hair. I look in the mirror. I am wearing a red dress from when I was in the circle. Clary hands me a pair or black heels. I am putting them on when there is a knock on the bedroom door. Clary opens the door.

    "Hello Father," she says.

    "Hello Clarissa. Is your mother ready for dinner?"

     "Yes Father," she says, "Mom it is time to go to dinner. You will be walking with Father. Max, Fang, and I will stop to get Lucian on the way."

    "Of course," I say forcing a smile. I stand up and walk over to Valentine. I give him a forced kiss on the cheek.

Valentine's POV
   "Of course," Jocelyn says with a smile that I know is forced. I watch as she walks over to me. She leans up and gives me a kiss on the cheek. I know that she is forcing herself to kiss me. I will let it slide this one time. We leave the room with Clary and the two other people following behind. They go to get Lucian.

    "I know that the kiss and smile are forced Jocelyn," I say, "I also know about the baby growing inside of you. I won't hesitate to kill it if you disobey me. Understand?"

     She stops walking and turns to look at me. Then she gives me a sincere kiss on the lips.

      "I understand," she says as Clary walks in with the other two helping Lucian.

Luke's POV
   We walk in to see Jocelyn pull out of a kiss. I am hit with a pang of hurt and jealousy.

   "I understand," she says. Valentine tells us to sit at the table. Clary helps me to the table. We eat in silence. Valentine is at the head of the table with Clary on one side of him and Jocelyn on the other. The girl and boy that were in cages too are beside them and I am beside the boy. Clary leans over and whispers in Valentine's ear. He whispers back and Clary nods. After dinner Clary takes me back to the cages.

    "Father said that once we get Jonathan here then you will be sent home," she tells me, "just do as he says and he won't hurt you. You need to get back in the cage. I will be back to get you for breakfast."

   I nod and get in the cage. Clary shuts it and someone else locks it. Clary smiles at me and leaves.

Sebastian's POV
     I go back inside the house. I reapply my soundless rune before walking through the house. That's when I feel my phone vibrate. I pull it out and see that it says Cala on it. I answer it.

     "Cala," I say, "did Jace and Clary make it back to the institute?"

     "Jace was knocked out on the steps of the institute," she says, "Clary was taken by people in white coats. You need to get here now. Jocelyn and Luke are missing too. Mayrse knows you are coming."

     She hangs up and I run to the institute. Jace is standing on the steps.

    "I tried to get them to let go of her," he says.

    "I know," I say, "let's go create a plan to get her back."

    He nods and we go inside. He leads me up to the library. The Dark Hearts, Lightwoods, and the children are all waiting. Jay and Angel see me and run over.

     "Uncle J," Angel says with tears in her eyes, "Momma is missing."

     "I know Angel. We will find her," I say as I pick her up. Jay wraps his arms around my leg. I look at Belle who comes over and picks Jay up.

    "Have you heard from her?" Cala asks me as I sit down on the floor with Angel.

     "Not yet," I say.

     "What do you mean?" Alec asks and then I see their confused looks.

     "Clara and I have a bond. It is similar to the parabatai bond but Belle is her Parabatai. Clara and I can speak to each other with our minds," I explain. That's when I hear it.
