Together

Chapter 15 Sorry

"Good Morning." Clary announced as her brothers and her entered the library. She looked over toward the window and saw a silver flash come from a near by roof top. She looked up at Jonathan who had his arm link with hers and gave him a small and a nod. It was starting. She glanced at everyone eles making little eye contact with everyone except the silent brother and her mother. She tugged Jonathan down and whispered in his ear. "Go calm your mother down would you. I'd hate for something to happen to her before I've had my fun." Jonathan gave her a confuse looked before he walked over to Jocelyn.  Sebastian looked away from the sight of them hugging while Clary gave them a small smile.

" Sebastian Lucian." They heard a voice in all their heads. Luke gain a said look on his face when he heard the boys middle name. It ripped open an old wound that despite what he thought would never heal. Luke would always miss his parabati , his brother who had abandoned him into the darkness.

"Yes." Sebastian raised his head. "Let us proceed." he looked down at Clary and kissed her forehead and pushed her toward Jonathan. "Make sure she doesn't interrupt. I hate to have to do this more than once." Jonathan nodded his head pulling Clary over toward the window as far from her brother and the others as they could get on the lower levels of the library.  Sebastian looked the silent brother dead in the spot where his eyes once were right as he felt the man invade his mind full force. They all watched in shock as the beast fell to his knees with a grunt. the image flashed so fast it hurt. It felt like the images would continue forever before the memories started playing out.

Sebastian stood outside the meeting hall next to Mark. They were listening to all the grown men arguing around the long table that took up most of the room. 

"This is ridiculous. We have to do something ."Mark whispered to him.

"I know." Sebastian knew all to well that this would led to death and a lot of it. Unless he did something about it.

The next image came right after the last seemed to disappeared. Sebastian stood in front of his father he was older now. the two men looked so similar the only difference was in height as they had a screaming match in the living room.

"what do you think you were doing?"

"What you could never do?" Sebastian laughed.

"This isn't what we have been trying to accomplished. Your brother was trying..."

"We all know what Lugh was trying to do. He's dead now. Get over it." Valentine raised his hand and backed handed his first born child with so much force it snapped his head to the side.Sebastian turn his head and glared at his father. "I'm leaving. Either you support me or face my endarken." 

"never."

"Then so be it, father." Sebastian marched out of the room and marched outside the manor doors where a carriage awaited him.

"Sebastian." Clary called from the steps. he held his hand out to her palm up.

"Come with me..." 

the image changed once again. this time Sebastian was kneeling on the ground of a dungeon. His hands were bound behind him. His bare chest glistened with sweat and dried blood from the wound that arched from his left shoulder to the middle of his stomach. His head was down till he heard the gate to his cell open up and watched clary walk in.  She was dressed in tight fitting gear with her hair down over her shoulders. 

"someone's been bad haven't they?" she asked and smirked when he tried to speak through the bound around his mouth. She went over to a stone slab to the right of him. she unbuckled her weapons belt and threw it down on to it before she walked around behind him. "I'm going to remove this now but do watch what you say to me right now. I'm very angry with you right now." she whispered into his ear before she bite it. He released a growl at her as she gripped the back of his neck. "Care to explain yourself?" 

The vision ended and Sebastian felt the silent brothers flung out of his mind. He stood still, trying to catch his breath for a moment.

"Sebastian?" He heard Jonathan question worriedly right beside him.

"Valentine." Maryse gasped out and all heads turn toward the desk that was to close to many of them for comfort.

"Hello my Maryse." Valentine smiled and then turned his head toward his children. "Clarissa." Clary leaned back against the door of the library her face an emotionless piece of glass. All she did was grace him with a nod as Sebastian stood up from his spot on the ground.

"Father." he greeted. The two men's eyes met for a moment before Valentine's eyes met Jonathans and they turned into a gentleness that neither Clary or Sebastian had seen in a long time. 

"Jonathan." Jonathan was a butterfly pinned to the wall. He never though that he'd meet his father let alone have him look at him like an actual father should. 

"Leave him be, Valentine." Luke moved away from Jocelyn and came to stand in front of the three children a fierce protectiveness growing inside him. "What are you doing here?"

"I could be asking you the same thing, Lucian." Valentine smirked as he saw a silver light flash outside the window." I didn't come for a fight with you, Lucian  I simply came for what's mine."

"I'm afraid you must be mistaken then. The last time I checked nothing here belonged to you. Sorry." Luke's voice dripped with sarcasm toward the end.

"the only one mistaken here , old friend is you." Just then the sound of the phone rang out in the room just as the door open and Little Max Lightwood walked in. Clary quickly pulled him into a tight embrace that shocked not only the boy but the rest of the room as they saw the gleam of a dagger in her hand.

"Nobody move." She said her voice surprisingly soft and calm.

"Clarissa what do you think you're doing?" Jocelyn gasped out in horror. "Let him go."

"It's time to come home children." He gave Jonathan a pointed look. "Time for all of you to come home." Just then a portal opened near the window. Sebastian looked back at clary and they shared an evil smile. 

"Look at the time we better start going." Sebastian laughed out.

"Come on Max. Let's go have some fun."The two Morgenstern children looked away from the conclave members and headed toward freedom. Sebastian was just a little farther ahead of Clary and Max when Stephen released a mysterious dagger. It would have hit Sebastian dead in the head had he not slide into the portal laughing and on his knees.  Jace and Alec and Jonathan all moved closer toward Clary and max.

"Not so fast boys." She petted Max's face , cradling his head closer to her body to the point that part of his neck was bare. she pulled the dagger closer to him. "I don't want to do this. I really don't but if you keep doing things like this I won't have a choice." her eyes faced everyone but her brother as she got to the edge of the portal.

"Clarissa don't do this." Celine cried out. Since the rest of the Lightwood family seemed to be paralyzed in shock.

"I'm not going to do a thing unless you force my hand."

"why are you doing this? he's a little boy just let him go!" Isabelle finally found her voice. Jonathan moved closer. 

"Because you won't let me go if I don't." Clary sounded crazy like she had finally lost it. "Say bye bye Jonathan." she said just as her brother launched himself at her and she pushed the little boy into the arms of his older brother. 

"JONATHAN!" someone screamed as Clary wrestled Jonathan into the portal with her.
