Clary’s Pov
I woke up a few hours later to see it was 11:30. I had a half hour before I went to my old house to get my daughter back. I quietly snuck out of bed, which was easy considering Jace was a heavy sleeper. I slowly went down the stairs only to hear my cousin and my mom talking in the dining room. I quietly snuck to the front door only to open it and find Magnus standing there outside.
“Where do you think you’re going?,” he asked.
"On a walk,” I told him.
I walked past him and starting running in the direction of my old house. I was so scared for my little girl, I really hope she wasn’t harmed at all.
I get to my mom's old house and go inside. I look into my old room and see a small bed. Lying inside that bed is the person I will do anything to protect.
"I see that you knew I didn't mean Clarke's house," a very familiar voice says. I turn to see the person that I had learned to trust.
"I trusted you," I say, "give me my daughter back Jonathan."
"I think that you can have her back," he says, "but you both have to stay here. I already made sure you can't escape this room. Goodnight little sister."
He laughs and walks out of the room. I hear the door lock. Avy wakes up screaming and I pick her up.
"Shh," I say, "Mommy is here now Avy. Everything is going to be okay. I promise you."
I walk around the room while rocking her gently. After about ten minutes she falls back asleep. I set her on the bed and pull out my phone. I send Jonathan a text.
Jay I can't sleep. Can you let me out of this room and talk with me until I fall asleep? I promise I won't try to escape. -C
I hear the door unlock. My brother grabs my arm and pulls me out. He shuts and locks the door again.
"Give me your phone first," he says. I hand it to him.
"I didn't text anyone if that's what you think," I say.
"Follow me," he says before leading me down the hallway. I follow him as he leads me to my mom's old room. He leaves and shuts the door. A few minutes later he returns without my phone.
"What did you do with my phone?" I ask him.
"Relax," he says, "I set it in the kitchen. Are you going to sit down?"
"Yes," I say knowing that he will hurt Avy if I don't. I sit down and he sits down beside me.
"Do you still trust me?" He asks me. I look over at him.
"I don't know Jonathan," I say, "you kidnapped Avy. Why did you kidnap her and why won't you let us go?"
Magnus' pov
After Clary leaves, I run up to Jace's room. I pound on the door until he gets up and opens it.
"Clary just left the institute," I say, "she told me she was going on a walk."
"She better not have gone after Avy," Jace says.
"Where is her sketchbook? I will try to track her," I say.
Jonathan's pov
"Do you still trust me?" I ask Clary who looks over at me.
"I don't know Jonathan," She says, "you kidnapped Avy. Why did you kidnap her and why won't you let us go?"
"Don't worry about that," I tell her, "you just need to trust me. I will explain it all later."
We sit there in silence.
