Together

Chapter 3 No!

Clary knew the plan had semi worked as she felt the cot under her. And the soft pjs on her body. She could hear unknown voices all around her.  It made her feel trapped. It made her guard go up. She repeated in her head the words her father had told her before he left her in the alleyway. 

"Don't cause to much  trouble but show them what a Morgenstern is capble of."

"She's waking up." The voice was soft as a feather. Clary slowly opened her eyes and immediately jumped far from the cot. Up onto the rafters of the infirmary to be exact.

"Get her out of here." She growled. Her voice was strong yet she was shaking like a child. Her body was on fire and she couldn't breath as her eyes locked on her mother.There she stood tears in her eyes acting as innocent as can be. It made Clary hate her more.

"Who?"Jonathan turned his face up at his little sister who clung to a rafter as if her life depended on it. She looked angry yet her eyes were clouded over with pain and sadness.

"Her." She was spitting venom now as she pointed her finger at their mother.

"Clary... sweetie." Jocelyn tried but she was immediately cut off as Clary jumped down off the rafters to stand infront of her mother. She straightened herself up with the power and strength she possesed. She was taught to be strong where others would be fearful and she wouldn't let the woman who tried to end her make her quiver in fear.

"It's Clarissa Morgenstern to you. It is a privilege to call me Clary one that does not extend to those who leave their children." Jocelyn's tears begin to shed as she heard her only daughter spit venom at her.

"I never left..." she was cut off by Clary.

"Really? I find that hard to believe." Clary was burning Jocelyn with her eyes. "Seeing as you only raised  one child." Clary kept egging Jocelyn on. She wanted Jocelyn to lash out, to lose control infront of all these people. So they all would see her true colors.

"You need to stop this insistent." Luke got between the mother and daughter. Trying to calm them both down but something changed as he stood infront of Clary.

Her eyes glazed over and her breath got labored. Then she lounged at Luke. She brought him straight to the ground, her hands wrapped around his throat. They were all to shocked to move.
"Do you rember me werewolf?" She whispered her eyes were hard. She had both legs on either side of luke's chest.
"Do you rember what you did to me? What you took from me and mine?" She tightened her hold on his neck and luke began to struggle under her.  Robert tried to pull her away but a fist to his face ended his turn. Stephan and Alec tried and both ended up flipped over her head.
"YOU TOOK HIM FROM US!!!" Luke was turning an ugly shade of red. Jonathan couldn't take it. Force wouldn't work on her but maybe. He walked up behide his sister and hugged her. He put her hands on his and whispered

"Let go. Clary please let go." He felt her start to sob and then she turned in his arms ,her eyes closed, and hugged him.

"Make it stop, big brother. Please take this pain away. I can't live with it anymore." He couldn't belive his eyes. He pulled them up and sat on one of the cots his sister in his lap. He held her closer and couldn't help the tears that began to fall from his eyes.

"It's ok , clary." She looked up and into his eyes and the spell was broken. The broken girl was gone in a flash. She pushed him away and walked to the door.

"If your trying to leave you can't. There are specific wards placed on the property that will keep you in." Maryse said.

"Your bluffing." Clary ran from the room and found the stairs. She took them all the way to the first floor where she sprinted outside and to the gate. She put her hands on the old gate. And immediately was screaming in agony. Her body was spasming and she could feel the burn all over her body.  She heard the institute brats come out.

"DADDY!" She screamed for all of New york to hear.

The sound of his daughter's scream chilled him to the bone. Valentine was holding a meeting not to far from the institute when he did. And now all day he had been fighting with himself and Molly.

Molly had raced from the meeting and was in the alleyway across from the institute before Valentine grabbed her by her waist and held her. They had watched as their little girl had no control over her body and had faught against the Institute members to get to the gate.

His anger had boiled but he held it down so he could get his love away from the horrifying sight.
When they finally arrived home. Molly wouldn't let him go and their boys were on edge.

"What's happened to her?" Jonathan had demanded as soon as his father and mother were sitting.

"A spell to keep her in." Molly had answer she was staring at an old photo of her and Clary.

Sebastian had gone berserk as the words left her mouth.  It had taken all four of them to keep him from leaving in his state. The demon in him had gone off the rails. His eyes were completely black as his family had locked him in the basement. Mark and Ami where still sitting outside the door trying to calm him down as Molly and Val had gone to bed.

"Was that part of the plan?" Molly asked standing in the doorway of their bathroom door.

"No it was not.  I didn't think they would be smart enough to do that." he rubbed his face before he stood up.

"Where are you going?" Molly asked her voice worried.

"I need to think." Valentine left the room and into his office. He poured himself a drink and sat looking at a picture of a younge Sebastian and Clarissa.  Sebastian sitting with his sister in his lap. Sebastian had clary in the circle of his arms smiling down on her bright smiling face.It was the first time he saw his son smile like that. A real, innocent smile that had filled Valentine's heart with an emotion he had long forgotten. He smiled , a sad smile, at the memory.

That day Valentine had took his two children out into the forest for some bonding time as Molly had put it. The three had been sitting in a clearing. Sebastian and Valentine sitting watching as the four year old Clarissa ran after a butterfly giggling.  As the butterfly flew out of her reach Clarissa turned to the first loves of her life and ran to them. She jumped into her father's lap and kissed his cheek and hugged him tightly. He smiled down at her with all of his love. She then turned to Sebastian and frowned.

"What's wrong big brother?" Her glazed locked on his and he immediately softened.

"Just thinking, flower." He smiled at her. The endearment had confused Valentine but he said nothing. He wanted to see what his two children would do. As he looked at them it was like they were in their own world.

"About?" She crawled from Valentine's lap and into her brothers. Sebastian wrapped his arms around him.

"You. As always." He whispered as if he didn't want Valentine to hear him admit he cared for her. He watched as his daughters eyes lit up. As the smile on Sebastian's face began to appear Valentine was shocked.

Coming back to the present Valentine felt a small part of him feel guilt at his decision.
