Andrea let out a whimper as she whispered,"They're going to kill her this time."

My head whipped around to her,"Kill her?" Panic rose in my heart squeezing it tight in its grasp,"Kill who?"

Andrea gripped the chains that held her back,"She is a ghost and yet, she can't escape I don't know....know how he can hurt her."

"Andrea...." I held her shoulders desperate for an answer,"Who is she?"

Her milky eyes gazed up at me even though she couldn't see me. "Her name is....is Clary."

I froze, my stomach knotted it self until it hurt making every bone in my body turn to jelly. She....she was the one screaming like that. I spun away from Andrea and felt my arms flare up in light as my anger sparked and ignited. This is how she gets all of those bruises....to get so bloody....why she was torn from whatever laid after death. This was all my fault. I finally found her and I was trapped.

The scream came again only down the hall. I glanced at the door as I heard a voice yell,"Restrain her, or I will kill both of you son of a bitches!"

Another scream came down the hall, but it was interrupted as the sound of locks being turned from their sockets rumbled through our cell. The door pulled out and I made my arms burn with fire.

A figure was illuminated by the torches in the hallway. "Awe well look who finally found her glowing power." The voice taunted and I felt the adrenaline drive me forward, only to have Penelope glide from no where and put an arm out in front of me.

"He's baiting you." She hissed over her shoulder,"I can smell the runes guarding him, you can't touch him."

I glared at him as he crossed his arms."And you vampire have found our voice I see."

She hissed again and I saw the shine of her fangs,"Master Carter, you can not bait me.....not anymore."

His dark blue eyes mocked disappointment,"We'll see about that." His eyes snapped too mine,"Now Cecily, come here."

"I'm not going anywhere with you." I snapped as Penelope lowered her arm.

"That was an order Cecily." He snarled.

"I don't take orders from anyone."

He tensed and in a second flat he was in front of me, his hand braced around my neck lifting me from the ground. Penelope was lunging at him, when his free hand grabbed her around the neck flinging her like nothing across the room and hitting the wall with a sickening crack.

I flung my feet out to hit him in the chest, but them bumped limply off him like he was protected by a force field.

A chuckled tumbled from his mouth,"Protective runes, my father got your mother to make them for us. Amazing what a person can do when they are being whipped."

Hatred bubbled in me and I hissed,"Your his fucking son." I closed my eyes too feel them glaze over gold when I opened them again,"Where the hell is my mother?"

A wicked smile decorated his face,"Getting what she deserves. So, many years my father wasted on her. But, now...." he pulled me closer to him so our noses almost touched. I clawed at his hands to loosen but they only got tighter. The lash from earlier burned and dug deep into my skin. "Now we have something more powerful. And with my father slowly dying you and I will live out his legacy, side by side." He looked over my face as I felt my stomach twist and his hand gently came up to touch my face.
