The Antichrist

Chapter 2

Jace's POV

We rush Clary to the infirmary. I hold her hand and Magnus only allows me in with her.

He places his hands on her stomach and closes his eyes and concentrates. After some time he frowns. Slowly it deepens and he begins to scream. His hands cover his face and he falls onto the floor in the fetal position. He continues screaming. I watch in confusion and horror. Alec darts in hearing his lovers cries and rushes to Magnus' side. After some time Magnus stops screaming but he shakes violently and the colour has drained from his face. Alec brings him home leaving us to worry about Magnus now aswell as Clary.

A few hours later Clary wakes up insiting she is fine and it must just have to do with either a cramp caused by something she ate or maybe even her angel blood. I'm still unconvinced so tonight i'm going to go to the library and investigate.

2 weeks later...

Alec's POV

I shove food down Magnus' throat. The second i brought him home from the institute two weeks ago he has been locked in our room. He didn't eat, he didn't talk and he didn't come out for the whole two weeks. The moment he touched Clary's belly he saw something. I don't know what but i plan on finding out. Finally after two weeks he has come out of our room. He locked the door so i ended up sleeping on the couch for the two weeks with just Chairman Meow for company. Now i'm making sure he is eating all the food we have to strengthen him. He stays pale and emotionless.

I stroke his cheek softly, putting the food down. He leans into my touch, "Magnus... What did you see?" He starts to shake and i grab his shoulders gently, "Magnus, please...Is the baby in danger? Is Clary? Jace? What did you see?"

Suddenly he grabs me in an iron grip, making his knuckles turn even whiter than they were and says with great urgencey, "Tell Jace and Clary to abort that thing!"

"What- No!" I stare at him in shock. Has he gone insane? That's my little niece or nephew!

"You must!"

"I can't!" I pause taking a deep breath "What did you see?"

"Hell..."

3 months later...

Jace's POV

It's been three and a half months since the incident with Magnus. For a while i couldn't get through to him or Alec, which worried me but when i finally got through to Alec he said he and Magnus had left town for a sudden long trip. i also cant find anything on why that happened to Clary. She seems fine ever since apart from an incident we had in a church about a month or two ago.

Clary and I walk down the street hand in hand. Clary has jut finished telling me how she and her mother used to go to church every Sunday. She guessed it was her mothers way of praying to the angels without actually being a shadowhunter. When Clary was young she thought her mother was just religious. Her mother and her became good friends with the priest there. He is Irish and always spoke of Dublin, where he came from, that is why we went there on our honeymoon. That and because Clary always just wanted to go there. She told me today was his 65th birthday and she had a present for him.
