“We have a decision.” I looked around the room. Everyone silenced. Where was my mom? Luke? Jonathan was looking at Jia and I got up and sat in my chair again. Jace linked his hand with mine and gave it a squeeze.

“We have decided to send groups of shadowhunters to search for Sebastian. Since he is no longer in Jonathan’s body, he may not be that smart, but still we don’t know what we are up against. All institutes should stay on alert and no shadowhunters should go outside alone unless absolutely necessary.” And with that, all the shadowhunters left the institute. I saw my mother and Luke coming to me. I got up and gave them both hugs.

“We are going to be staying here for a couple of days. We are going to get our stuff.” My mom said while holding my cheek. “How are you holding up?” She asked.

“Me? Are you crazy? How are you holding up?” She got a bit teary eyed but nodded and let go of my cheek.

“Luke and I have both spoke with him. I am just trying to accept the fact that that is actually Jonathan, not Sebastian.”

“Mom…”

“Honey it is okay. He already said he doesn’t really want to get involved with anyone. I actually feel bad for him.” Luke looked at her and said, “We need to go get our stuff back at the apartment. Do you have any special requests Clary?”

“I have some clothes here, so I’m fine.”

“What about your sketchbook?” he asked. I smiled and nodded. My mom kissed my cheek goodbye and Luke ruffled my hair. I went back to my friends when they left, who were now putting the chairs back where they belong. When they were done, Jace came over.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“Yeah. I’m just glad they didn’t vote me up for death. I’m just curious to why Sebastian wants me. I just hope it isn’t in that way again.” I shuddered remembering the bad memories.

“I’m not going to let that happen to you. If he lays a finger on you, I will feed his fingers and flesh to ducks.”

I made a sour face, “Ew.” He chuckled.

“You make the cutest grossed out face.”

“I am not cute!” I playfully punched his arm.

“Yes you are, at least to me, you even punch cutley.”

I stepped toward him and had to look up at him. I cursed my height once again. “Oh, you are going to pay for that one.”

He grinned, “you are quite fearful though if that makes you feel better. I’ve seen you blow up a ship with just a rune you created.” I smiled at that one. He continued, “You know, the clave took forever making that decision. I say we go get something to eat, I am absolutely starving.”

“You are always hungry.”

He put his arms around my waist. “we could do something else to you know…” He started to put his face in my hair.

I backed away. “Naughty Jace Herondale.” I said walking away.

He started to walk fastly after me, “Wait I’m not hungry anymore!”

I laughed and turned around. “You suggested food!” I was outside now and he was walking through the doors. “Clary Fray, You play hard to get!”

I laughed again, but not for long since I was interrupted by a rope net capturing me and pinning me to the institute yard ground.

And that’s when I heard it.

The voice that sounded familiar, but more growling and demon like.

“Clarissa…”

Sebastian.
