Ever After

Its time to decide

Clary's POV

Okay, I've had a day to think about who I will choose.. I'm not so sure if it's the best choice or not. But I'm sure it will be worth it if I get my mom back. This plan better work.

**knock on the bedroom door**

"Come in!" I yell

"Clary?" Iz says from the door

"Yeah?" I say

"You wanted to speak to me?"

"Right.. come here."

she walks over and sits next to me "what's up?"

"This is a huge favor to ask of you izzy, but it's for my mom. And I have to admit it would be very cool if you want to do what I'm about to tell you, are you ready?" she nods her head "okay well... see.. Magnus, Luke, and I formed a plan. Where I would contact Sebastian and offer him an exchanged.." I look to see her reaction, it's blank, she probably hasn't figured out what I am about to do.. "my mom for... me."

Her eyes get huge and she jumps up "WHAT!?" she exclaims "HELL TO THE NO."

"Isabelle it's for my mom. I have a really good plan just hear me out, please!" I say as I stand up trying to seem positive.

"Clar-"

"Please" I cut her off. She nods slowly and sits down. "thank you. okay as I was saying.. Magnus made this spell where whoever I chose to do it with, I can read and talk to them in their minds. Kind of like the faerie rings.. but no one can tell. And I would like for you to be that person for me. So I can tell you where I am and where we are going so you guys can come get me or something... But the catch is... it is permeant.. so we can do it to each other until one of us die.. but we will have to be in the same room for it to work. But Magnus made another temporary spell so it can work long distance for a little bit, a week." I look to see her shocked face "what do you think..?"

"I-uhm I would do it. But are you sure it's safe and all that?" she asks

"Honestly?" she nods "I have no clue.. but I'm sure it's gunna work"

"Well, I'll do it. I have nothing to hide from you. We are bonded til death, so why not?"

I get up and hug her "Thank you so much!"

"No problem Clare"

"Oh.. one more thing, it stays between you, Luke, Magnus, and I. Okay?"

"Why not Simon or Jace?"

"The less people know the better, and Jace needs to believe I choose Sebastian over him..."

"What?!"

"Sebastian needs to think me and Jace are fighting and that I want him and stuff... so yeah."

"By the Angel, Clary what if Jace doesn't forgive you or believe you after it's all done with?"

"He-he will..."

"Clary..."

"I need my mom back Iz"

"I know."

Sebastian's POV

Jocelyn doesn't look good, she is getting weaker by the day. She is pale, skinny, and her eyes look drained. Clary will never want me if this is how I treat our mother. I go to get a Steele out of the back compartment to see if that will help. As I come back in, the phone rings and I look to see if it's Luke. It's not, its Clary!

"Hello sister." I say with a grin on my face the size of Mars

"Hey.. uhm, is my mom alive?"

"Yes, she is. Why?"

"Because I have a, a offering."

"Do you?"

"Yeah..."

"What is it then?"

"Me for my mom. Jace and I have been fighting non stop about me losing the baby. It wasn't my fault, miscarriages happen all the time. You and my mom said it yourself. I want to see you, you could always make me laugh."

"And how do I know this isn't a trick?"

"You just have to trust me. You can arrange a meeting anywhere you want. Anywhere. I'll be there alone with my stuff. No tricks. I promise. I'll leave right now if you want."

"What's in it for you?"

"I just want to see my mother before you send her off with Luke. You arrange the Luke thing by yourself too."

"Really? Clary my love. I will do anything"

"Tell me when and where I can meet you and mom..."

"Member the Morgernsterns manor?

The one dad burnt down? Meet me there in an hour. You don't need to pack anything, I'll buy you anything you want."

"Okay."

"I can't wait to see you sis."

"Same brother."

"An hour"

"Yes, I'll be there. Promise."

And then she hung up, I get to be with Clary after all. Like everyone always says. The best man always wins. Jocelyn she looks so damn sickly. I need to get her back to normal now. I rush over to her side with the Steele and draw an Iratze on her side, I'll sit and wait for 10 minutes to see if she looks any better.

10 minutes later her skin is turning to a healthier skin color. Her hair is getting shiner, she looks almost perfectly healthy. I wake her up to tell her the great news

"Hey, hey wake up."

"Hmm? Jonathan what do you want."

"To tell you great news."

"So basically horrible news. Because I've learned with you good news is horrible."

"If you call Clary coming here to save you, and stay with me instead of you horrible, then so be it. I'm happy."

"What?" she snaps

"You heard me mother." I say "you get an hour to prepare yourself. Then I'll take you to meet Clary. I'll give you guys 20 minutes or so to catch up. Then you'll say your goodbyes and she is all mine. Forever."

"But, I won't allow that. I won't let you trade me for her!"

"It is already decided."

"No."

"Yes, mother." I grin "now go get ready." I snap and she turns around to do as I say. Good. She doesn't need to look abused for Clary.
