Together

Chapter 7 Dirty past

The sound of the institute brats was really starting to get on her nerves.  She kept repeating to herself what her father had told her.

Don't cause trouble.

That was easier said then done with these brats talking and talking. And about her no less.

"What do you think she planning?" The blue eye boy , Alec or whatever kept pushing and pushing for an answer. "I mean if you really think about it. This all has to be an act, a way to get in and learn all she can before she attacks."

"Alec enough." Jonathan sighed.

"You know I'm right. You just don't want to believe it since she's your sister that's been lost for something years. She may fool all of you but she isn't fooling me. No one can go from beating beaten by their father to just defending him the next time some insults him. It makes no sense. so what is she playing at? What is it that we have that she could possibly want?" Clarissa had had enough of the lightworm so as the words left his mouth she flung and hit him in the face with her pillow.

"maybe all she wants is for you all to shut up  and get out of her room like the good little children are. Or at least that you have everyone convinced you. I for one happen to think that you are rude and needed to work on the basics of talking behind someone's back." the room went silent and all the teens looked at her like the children with their hands in the cookie jar they are. "Any way what to do I own this pleasure of children ruining my sleep?"

"The silent brothers are here to see you red." Jace was the first to recover. Clary's groan was the only answer he got an it made something in him smile. since the first moment he had laid eyes on this fiery red head something had drawn him in. Something in her was calling out to him. She was so many things. She was fiery, stubborn, strong, ... she was hot. Jace's jaw dropped open when she stood up from the bed and put on a black little rob as if that could hid her from prying eyes and boys who wanted to do to her exactly what he wanted.

"Well lead the way children. The sooner we get there the faster I can come back and sleep." She went and opened the door like the other woman.

"You don't want a few minutes to get dressed?" Jonathan questioned quietly so none of the others heard him as they marched out. " I can hold them off for you." He gave her his most dazzling smile and it broke her heart.

"As I said the sooner this is done the sooner I get to come back and sleep." She took his hand as they walked out of the room joining the others as they were leaded to the library by ... a cat? Clary shock.

Upon opening the door clary found that all the residents including max we're there waiting with the silent brothers.

This is Valentine's daughter. A ghostly sound echoed through out Clary's mind chilling her to the bone.

"Yes of course I am. You wouldn't be here if that wasn't already established." she bit out earning a glare from Robert, Stephen , and Maryse.

"This is brother Jerimiah. He'll be ..." 

"I know what he does. I'm not stupid or a child that needs everything explained to her." Clary growled out, interrupting Stephen in the process. "So what are you going to be looking for? "

"That is none of your concern. Jerimiah whenever you are ready."  The second that the words left the woman's lips Jerimiah dove straight into clary's mind. The force of the invasion drove her to her knees. Images started flying in her head. So many at the same time it was like flipping channels on tv. Like someone flickering the lights on and off.

Then suddenly images started to freeze and play out.

There was a fourteen year old clary getting ready for a dance with Molly.

"Do I really have to go mom?" the young girl really hopped that some sort of attack would happen so everyone could leave.

"It's your first meeting you have to go." Molly came up and hugged her daughter from behind. Molly kissed her daughters bare shoulder. "This is it. This meeting is not only special because it's your first meeting but your father is also announcing his final plan."

"Really?" Clary turned and gave her mother one of her brightest smiles.

"Truly." Molly smiled

The next image was out in a forest at night. There was a crowd of people dressed in gear and a group of five children in front of them. Four boys and one girl. They were a mix of blonds, brunette, and a red head. They were all stunningly gorgeous in all black.

"Why should we follow you? Your father tried the same things." a member of the crowd shouted out toward them.

" We are not our father." Sebastian shout back. "We may want to accomplish the same thing but we have different means to accomplish that goal."

"Which is?" the same man shouted out once again.

"We plan to establish our kingdom before ...." Lugh the middle child, her brother in the stars was stating before that man interrupted.

"Why?"

"Because we must stand as a united front against our enemies. We must come together as one. Fight together, win together. We are not the clave. We will not just send our own out together to be slaughter. We will end our enemies together. Future generations will not look at just one person to look up at. They will see all of us . Our scarifies will be looked at in awe. Human's will see their true heroes and thank us. So now I ask you don't just fight for my family and me, fight for yourself. Fight for your brothers and sisters, friends, family members who have fallen, who the clave has allowed to die for nothing. Let us unite and be the generation that comes together and ends this war." That had been the first time clary had ever spoken up at one of the meetings. Once the words left her there was a chorus of people in the crowd shouting out " I'll join you. We'll join you"

Later on  that same night. Valentine, his wife, all their children, Blackwell, and Pangborn all sat around a fire laughing and talking about how clary had finally talked at a meeting and gain a lot of followers.

"I purpose a toast to the brat." Clary glared at Blackwell from her seat in Sebastian's lap.  Soon everyone was toasting to her. Clary smile at them before she hid her face in Sebastian's neck.

"I'm so proud of you angel."

The next image made clary want to freeze. No they couldn't see this. They couldn't have this moment.

Clary was running down a dark hall. He was coming . She wouldn't let him have her not like this. Not without a fight. She kept running and running pushing her muscles to the breaking point. She was so close to ...

"Ahhh!" She screamed as the man behind her swung her up and turned her to face him. As his face was coming down to kiss her. She broke  out of the silent brothers hold.

"ugh." she fell down on hands and knees trying to catch her breath.

"Clary." Jonathan wrapped his arms around his sister. "How did you do that?" they all stared at her in awe. No one had ever known anyone who had broken out of the silent brothers hold without going insane. "Sis, say something. Talk to me clary." She looked up at the silent brothers and glared.

"I'll protect my family." she spat out. She stood up. "My family is everything to me. I'll never sell them out even if it means death." She strode out of the room head held high but as soon as her bedroom's door closed the tears slide down her face. 

Sebastian was livid. How dare they . How dare they hurt his sister in any way. He flew off the roof and walked down a few blocks to an empty park. He was waiting for his opportunity. A branched snapped behind him and here.

"Hello wolf." He smirked when they stopped moving forward.

"Hello shadowhunter." the leader said. Sebastian turned and saw three wolves. Perfect.

"If it's a fight you want. Have at it. " He opened his arms as the first werewolf raced toward him as the others yelled at him to stop. It was to late. He had challenged Sebastian and now would pay the price. Sebastian hauled him across the park before he started on the other two. Punches were thrown. Heads were bashed against trees. Kicks set wolves across the grass.

By the end Sebastian ended up with enough cuts and brusies for his plan to go perfectly.
