The Mortal Instruments: everything is not what it seems

chapter 6

Jonathan knew what jace wanted. Jace wanted clary all to himself, but Jonathan being Jonathan would never let that happen. He sat in his room for hours thinking of a plan to save clary from this horrible fate even if it would cost him his life. He's thoughts was interrupted by a knock on his door. Thinking it was clary he rushed to the door to open it for her. But to his disappointment it was jace with a smirk plastered on his face.

" what do you want" Jonathan spat.

" oh Jonathan you already know what I want" jace answered walking into the room.

Jonathan watched him with disgust but nevertheless he closed the door behind him. Jace walked around the room examining everything in it. He picked up a picture of clary and Jonathan at the park and smiled at it.

" you know I do respect your sister and I wouldn't do anything to hurt her".

" sure" Jonathan said snatching the picture out of jace hands.

" you dont trust me" jace said walking towards Jonathan.

" no " he answered.

" and why is that" he asked glaring at Jonathan.

" you know damn well why. And what do you want my sister to do"?

" ooh Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan thats between me and you sister" jace whispered. He turned on his heel to the door. But he left he said " see you at dinner big brother" with a malicious grin on his face and walked out the room and down the hall.

Clary's P. O.V.

At dinner I was forced to sit next to jace. My father was quite. Too quiet.

" father what's wrong?" I asked.

As soon as he heard my voice it snapped him out of his thoughts. He didn't answer my question but just looked at jace and nodded. Jace nodded back. Before Jonathan or I had time to react my father flipped the table and ran straight towards Jonathan. My father had him against the wall choking him. When I tried to help my beloved brother against my devil father jace stopped me.

"LET ME GO" I kept screaming and tried to get out of his grasp. But he was strong. One of the servants walked in with a sour face and a knife in him hand. I noticed that it wasn't just any blade it was demon metal. I knew Jonathan could never go against my father like this and live. I tried harder for jace to let me go but his grasp on me grew tighter. My father kicked Jonathan to the ground. He was trying to catch his breath when my father said

" at least you were able to love someone and to be loved by someone". I was trying to comprehend what he ment by that. I finally got what he ment but it was too late. He drove the blade right into Jonathan's chest.

I couldn't breath, I couldn't stand so I fell to the ground with jace still holding me, with me screaming Jonathan's name.

" JONATHAN"......

I woke up to a loud banging on my door. I hopped out of bed and answered it. I saw it was jace. He looked so shy when he said that it was time for dinner. I smiled at him and walked with him down the hall. Some people would say that this is the start of a new beginning but in this case they might be wrong.
