The Other Morgenstern

(City Of Ashes) Chapter Thirteen: J.C.M

Skylar walked around in the night, she had asked to have a few minutes to herself. Ever since she told Jace no was no, he had become closer to Clary possibly attached to her. "My head has been killing me." Skylar mumbled and ran her fingers through her hair, she felt her head pulse lightly. "Seraphina?" She called out and got no response. 

"Skylar." The voice was familiar and sent shivers down her spine. Who was that? She stopped and looked around and saw no one there. Her heart began to race, her father found her..this scared Skylar.

"Seraphina?" Skylar called in a panic, as she started to rush back to Luke's in a hurry but before she could run all the way to Luke's place, she was knocked out from behind not knowing what was going on.

Cold finger tips traced the top of the whip scars of Skylar's back lightly, she slowly forced her eyes open and gulped. She was weak, freezing and her vision was slightly blurry. "Finally awake sis." She looked up expecting to see Jace but she saw a boy about her age with light blonde hair and black eyes, jaw line sharp and muscular. 

"Sis?" Skylar said and sat up, he had taken her weapons and jacket. She looked around not knowing where she was, this place was recognizable. "I am not your sister."

"Look at me Skylnn, don't I look familiar?" He asked and leaned closer to her, he started into her eyes with no emotion, nothing. Skylar's eyes widened as a memory slowly was pieced together. She remember a little boy, with black eyes studying with her in the Manor.

Skylar backed away, and slowly realized what was going on now."Jonathan." She said, he nodded slowly and grinned. She suddenly moved closer and hugged him tightly. He hesitated at first but hugged her back, this was a sign of weakness. 

"You must be confused." She pulled away and nodded. "Jace is a Herondale, not a Morgenstern."

"That's great news." Skylar smiled lightly and nodded, she felt her head start to ache once again but this time it was more of a migraine 

"What did you give me?"

"A drug, no one can trace us and you would forget this ever happened in a 24 hours." He told her the truth, there was no point of hiding this from her. She wouldn't remember anyway, Skylar looked down. 

"24 hours?"

"One day is what I wanted to figure out why Jace is so in love with you, After that father wants you." He admitted, Skylar was taken back by what he said, he wanted to know why Jace loved her. Skylar froze feeling her energy being drained, she looked down at her arms and saw her veins were black. 

"A-Are you going to hurt me?" She asked weakly, Jonathan shook his head.

"No, I am not father."

"Yet, you drugged me?"

"For your safety." Jonathan replied, "How are you feeling?"

"Weak, like I am dying."

"Your angel blood must be fighting off the drug, interesting. Stay here, I'll get you something to eat." Jonathan slid off the bed and walked out of the room. Skylar slipped out the bed and stumbled, she walked over to the window and saw water. 

"We're on a ship?" She asked herself in a whisper. "Oh brother, what have you done to me?"

"I have tried tracking Skylar," Magnus said putting his phone down, Isabelle sat on Magnus's couch and sighed. It has been three hours since Skylar was kidnapped, after it happened Isabelle contacted her brother right away worried about her parabatai. Skylar was a mess, she was heart broken and reckless.

"I feel sick." Isabelle admitted and placed her hand over her stomach.

"Isabelle, is there anything else you feel?"

"Her body is weak, I don't feel like she's in danger." Isabelle explained and ran her fingers through her dark hair, Alec had found Skylar's phone in the middle of the streets. "What do we do?" Isabelle asked

"Find her." Magnus and Isabelle looked at Jace who walked into the apartment rubbing his wrist softly. "Find Skylar, if something happens to her it will be my fault."

"Tell us what happened?" Alec asked his parabatai, he didn't care at this point if it hurt him to talk about it. 

"She made it clear Alec, she doesn't love me anymore and hates me."

"Maybe she wanted to get kidnapped?" Alec suggested earning himself glares from everyone. 

"Simon and Maia were captured by Valentine!" Clary shouted running into the apartment, Jace cursed under his breath this situation was getting worse and worse.
