JACE'S FATHER SLOWLY STOOD FROM INSIDE THE LOCKER, SHAKING AS HE DID.
He stepped out "dad" jace said "son", the older wayland pulled jace in for a hug. The two hugged each other so tight, it was almost as if, if they let go they would both disappear "oh, jace" his father breathed "I can't believe it. Son, you're hurt. How did you find me?" "You're dead. Valentine killed you. Valentines... valentine's here" jace said, swaying side to side as if he could fall at any moment, which he could
"No, jace. It's me. I'm Michael wayland. I'm Jace's father" he introduced himself to clary and malia "look, I know what jace told you, but I've been here for 10 years. Valentine took off and left me" he continued "and Jocelyn Fairchild? Clary asked "he took her with him. You two are?" Michael asked "imp clary her daughter" "I'm malia hale, Jocelyn took me in about a year ago" the two introduced "Meliorn the seelie told me that he was here with her" clary explained
Jace fell to the side and malia sprung to catch him "jace no! "Jace grunted as malia and Michael helped him stand back up "its ravener venom. He kept telling us he was alright" clary rushed "we have to find your father" jace panted "not my father" Jace's dad began to search jace for his stele. He pulled out the tarot card with the cup painted on it before malia remembered where jace put his stele
"Back pocket" she said and Michael got it out and traced it over his healing rune "the rune is weak" he said "ravener venom must be spreading" clary said "we have to get him help. We...we closed the portal" malia said, she was scared of losing jace. She really liked him and she wasn't ready to lose him or clary just yet.
"Valentines got a standing portal. Let's go" the older wayland aid and lead the three to a portal

"We need help" malia exclaimed as she helped carry jace into the jade wolf
"what happened?" Simon asked as he and Luke came to help whilst malia and Michael were carrying jace over to a seat clary explained everything "we thought we found valentine but he was already gone" "Michael wayland?" Luke questioned as he saw the man "valentine took my mother with him, but we found Jace's father
"What? I thought valentine killed Jace's father" Simon asked, confused by the whole situation "he tried" Michael said, malia took a seat next to jace and wiped the sweat from his forehead "hello Lucian" Michael greeted "this can't be, I thought I'd never see you again" Luke stammered "I never thought I'd see anyone again" Michael said "what happened" Luke asked "demon got him" clary said seeing as malia was too worried about jace
"He can't fight the poison, his runes are too weak and he needs blood, but we can't go back to the institute" malia said shakily, clary then came up with the idea for Simon to get some blood from the hotel Dumort.
