Clary

"Foolish Jocelyn. I am not alone. I am never alone. I have the demons on my side. All you have is 4 children." Valentine has a vicious tone. Then the demons come out there are 7 of them. Jace takes my hand and presses a seraph blade into my hand. My fingers wrap around my hand, and It feels...right. Like this is a weapon I have held many times before.

"The name is Sanvi" He tells me. I whisper the name and feel it come alive in my hand. Isabelle is the only one with a Whip. Jace has a sword and Alec has a bow and arrow. My mother has a weapons belt full of Seraph blades.

"We will fight you." Jocelyn speaks calmly.

"But, I could call off my demons and you could hand me over the girl. She can learn to be a shadowhunter...my way" Valentine speaks in an evil anyone could talk we started the fight us slashing at any and every demon that gets relatively close to us.

All at once to demons go at Jace. I'm able to kill one but as the other lands on Jace it changes its course and heads toward me. Before I know It I'm on the ground. Jocelyn comes up and slashes the demon. I watch as the last ravener demon folds up only leaving a small black powder, that soon disappears. I get up and face Valentine again.

Alec

We watch as Valentine shoots a glance at Clary's left leg.

"I will be back" her mutters and disappears. We look at Clary's leg.

"Alec would an iratze would fix this?" Jace asks almost pleadingly.

I nod and grab my stele as a slowly draw an iratze "She will probably feel weak for a few days because the demon poison" Jace picks her up gently sliding one arm under her knees and one behind her back.

"Jocelyn, you're more than welcome to stay with us, if you'd like." Isabelle speaks in a respectful way.

"I think I will. I would like to be back in my daughter's life." Jocelyn smiles at Clary who is now asleep in Jace's arms.

Jace

Clary lay asleep,looking lifeless, in my arms. She is so fragile and she beat her father in a fight. I am so proud of her. I can't hold my feelings for her back anymore. I lay her down on my bed and lay beside her. We are one together. I thought I would never need anybody...Well I was wrong. Clarissa Fray completes me. I will love her always. I was always told:

To love is to destroy; and to be loved is to be destroyed

I don't believe it anymore. Clary once told me she was told the same thing but she never had believed it and I always had. I love Clary. I hear a knock on my door and Jocelyn comes in.

"Thank you,Jace" She says evenly.

"For what?" I ask.

"For being there for her when I wasn't for saving her from Valentine." She has no emotion to her voice. "Are you gonna stay her with her or come down for dinner?"

"I think I will stay here-just in case she wakes up. Could you have Magnus bring me up my food?" I ask. She just nods and Magnus comes up 5 minutes later with some food for me.
