Demon Blood

Chapter Two

Chapter Two

Sebastian watched Clary as she slept on a pristine queen size bed, thinking a million different things he could do with her, but for some reason unknown to him restrained himself. Not that she would know; she's been out cold for two days. Once she wakes up; she'll be all mine and I will be hers, he decided.

He watched as a strand of hair fell framing her face. He leaned over to pulled it away but pulled away when she started to stir. Her eyes flutter open. Sebastian sighed he would miss her piercing green eyes but it was a small price to pay knowing that she was his.

"Where are we?" She asked her voice hoarse.

"Some place safe." He answered, still wary.

She cleared her throat before speaking, "You and Dad have another house?" she raised an eyebrow and began to sit up. "Dad" she called Valentine "Dad". Sebastian was getting excited, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Our father was always prepared." Sebastian answered as his vision returned to normal.

Clary nodded looking around the room. "Where's Jace?" she asked.

Angry and jealousy turned Sebastian's vision red. "Gone." He answered through clench teeth.

"What do mean gone?" Her voice took on an edge.

"The connection was severed. His family took him back and we had to leave." Sebastian failed to mention how the connection was broke because the Faerie Queen hadn't mentioned it to him via Merlon, yet. He just assumed that the ex-iron sister had been a faster worker than he originally anticipated.

"Something wrong little sister?" Sebastian sounded concerned, probably because he was a little.

"No. It's just he should be here with us." She said. Us Sebastian smiled It worked, but I have to be sure.

"Why should he be here? You are mine. We don't need him." He countered.

She laughed. "You naïve big brother. Jace is just as much as part of me as you are." She got off the bed and walked toward him. "After all, once we get him on our side, we will be victorious." Sebastian could feel her breathe. "But don't worry, dear brother for I will always be yours. You just have to let Jace think otherwise," she chuckled then whispered into his hair, moving his hair out of the way. "I have him wrapped around my little finger," She begins to play with Sebastian's strand of hair. "Now don't you think it'd be better with all three of Valentine's experiments on the same side?" She leaned into his chest; her breath was warm. "So what do you say Se-bas-tian?" She asked pronouncing each syllable of his name as if it were a word it's self. He shuddered as she began tracing along his abs before pulling away. "I will always be yours but I have to let him think I'm his. But don't worry we'll have our fun after he's one our side."

"Why wait?" He stepped closer.

"Because Jace needs to think I can still be saved, if he sees me making out with you, well that would be something." Clary answers. A triumphant smile forms on the corners of her mouth once she knows she's won. "So when can I go see him?"

"Wait a while," Clary shot him an annoyed expression. "Fine one week." She raises an eyebrow. "What do you want?!" Sebastian says exasperatedly.

"Tomorrow and let me go alone. They'll want to give him a break before they tell him I went missing and an even longer one before they tell him about the incident with the Cup. But someone will slip up before they actually decide to tell him." Her voice is monotone. "They are too predictable." She adds.

"How can you so sure?" Sebastian questions.

Clary pretends to cry in mock hurt. "Don't you trust me brother? After all you wanted was for me to trust you, but how can that happen if you don't put your faith in me?" A smirk crosses her face, as she is once again victorious. "Oh, brother," she said taking a step closer. So that only inches separate there faces. "You better learn this now." Her voice was steady and confident, possible even threatening. "Never question me when it comes to the Lightwoods, our mother, step-father, and any of their friends. Got it, brother?"

Sebastian can do nothing more but nod his head while staring at her in shock. "Good, now remember when I said not to have any fun?" He nodded. "Well, lets make that a not in public rule." She said twirling a strand of his hair as her hand slide up his shirt before sliding downward to his pants but stopped momentarily. "Okay, Jonathan?" It wasn't really a question, but Sebastian responded by pressing his lips to her.

Jace was beginning to worry he hadn't seen Clary for almost two whole days. How sick was she that she couldn't even call him? But he didn't have time to dote on the though very long before the silent brothers came in to check on his condition followed by the rest of his family. The news shocked everyone including Jace.

"I have heavenly fire in me?!" Jace exclaimed.

We have not seen anything like it, Brother Zachariah spoke, We are searching through some of the oldest archives to see if they is any mention of a similar occurrence It could be just a side effect, either way we will check tomorrow and then continue checking back once a week. Our post can not be from more than a few days at a time not that Valentine's son is one the loose and Clarissa is missing. Zachariah hadn't realized his mistake sothe Silent brother left without another word.

"What did he mean "Clary's missing"?!" Jace was on the verge of yelling and panicking at the same time.

Isabelle took a deep breath. "We may have lied when we told you she was sick." She focused on the window behind him. "She disappeared with Sebastian."

Jace felt as if some one had knocked the wind out of him. "How did this- What hap- How could-" He sputtered then blanched and buried his face in his hands. He was finally himself and she was gone. "No, no,no,no,no." He mumbles repetitively.

"What's wrong Jace?" His voice is filled with concern.

"Clary- she- I-" He took a breath to steady himself. "She has demon blood in her Lilith's demon blood."

"You mean the same blood that turned all those shadow hunters?" Isabelle's voice was strangely meek. Jace said nothing but nodded grimly.

"But, Clary has more Angel blood in here than the other shadow hunters, so maybe the demon blood can't overpower her." Alec suggested. It wasn't a bad idea ether; it was just logical enough to give them all a little hope, that where Clary was she was still herself.

Sebastian was about to remove his top when she stopped him.

"We can't. Jace would know if we went any further." Clary said but hated herself for it.

"How would he," Then it dawned on Sebastian. "Oh, okay. How about just a kiss."

"I don't think I could keep it to just a kiss with you." She said as if to prove her point she traces the outline of his abs trying her finger up to his lips then entangling them with his hair and kissed him passionately. It took all her strength to pull away or so it that's how it appeared to Sebastian, which was just what Clary wanted him to think.

I have to try and keep it together until tomorrow. I can do that... right? but something deep inside of her told her she couldn't keep up this brave act for long; that eventually she would succumb to the darkness that was eating her from the inside out. She could already tell she was fighting a losing battle from the moment she woke up and realized she wanted Sebastian as she wants Jace. As thoughts entered her head that were extremely out of character for her and her hand often moved without permission when she got close to Sebastian.

But for now she was in control. It should be easier with Jace near me. She prayed to Angel she was right. She had to overcome this for her family Luke, and Jocelyn, her friends Izzy, Simon, Alec and even Magnus, and most importantly Jace. Her true love... or first love Clary suddenly felt a wave of nausea. Sebastian led her to the bed.

"You rest up," His voice was gentle and full of tenderness. Must be how Valentine taught him to act. She inferred. "You have a big mission tomorrow." And with a kiss on the lips he shut the door.

Maybe I was wrong maybe he could be caring and loving, she thought as she drifted into a gentle slumber.
