Chapter 19

              He looked at me and smiled bigger. I didn't like that. I went for my seraph blade. But he was stronger than me. I then saw it. It wasn't the guy I wasn't talking to last time. It was Johnathan.

"Johnathan!" I said, looking at him.

He then knows he was caught. He changed into the guy I know as my brother. Of course, he would be the one that sent guys to watch me.

"Hello, sister. It's been a while." He said.

I pushed away from him to get out of his grasp. He lets me go. But he has been cornered. I couldn't get around him without fighting him. There must be a better way without him getting away.

Maia will send it for backup if I don't give word or come back soon. So, I will just distract him the best I can.

"It has been a while. I thought you might have died by Valentine's hand." I told him.

"He isn't powerful enough to take me down. No one is." He said.

"I won't say that. Everyone can die. They are always something or someone more powerful than you." I told him.

*Jace's POV*

I was waiting for Clary to get back. I was getting worried. But I know she is strong and everything. She can handle anything that is thrown at her.

I heard a knock on my door. I went to open it and saw Alec standing there. He had this worried look on his face. Now, I was scared for the worse.

"What is it, Alec?" I asked.

"It's Clary. She is in danger." He said.

He didn't have to tell me anymore. I grabbed my jacket and seraph blade. I was already heading out. Alec was right beside me. We meet everyone in the central area.

"What happened?" I asked.

"I just got a message from Maia. Johnathon has shown up, and he is with Clary." Simon told us.

"Do we know where they are?" Maryse asked.

"Probably still near or at the Hunter's Moon. Clary won't go far. She isn't stupid. She bought us time." Simon said.

"Then these go. She won't be able to distract him for so long. She needs our help." I said.

We all headed out. I hope Clary is right. She is strong and smart. But we don't know what Jonathan is capable of.

We got a block from the Hunter's Moon. We didn't want him to know we were there yet. I saw Jordan standing not that far away, an ally by the bar.

*Clary's POV*

"I know that sister. Everyone has their weakness. The one thing that makes them valuable." He told me.

"What is yours? Because if you are like Valentine, then it's power. If we take that away. You are nothing. I know our mother is not it." I told him.

I was trying to push his buttons. I just want to get an opening to get out of this. He still has me trapped. I don't like it.

"One day, you will know. Or maybe you already know." He told me.

"Let's stop going around the brush. What do you want? You sent people to watch me and follow me." I told him.

"Yes. I want to make sure you are safe and protected. Everything I do is for you." He told me.
