I Don't own the mortal Instruments Characters but I do own this plot.
Carter:
I have two days and one night left to convince Clary, she should go spend a day with her brother. It is impossible to get her to agree with it because she would either ignore me or yell at me when I brought it up. She really hated this him. She had to agree to it though or she'll be taken away and I would never see her again. I didn't want that to happen I loved Clary I didn't want to lose her.
I walked into Clary's room but she wasn't in there. I walked down to the training room. Clary, Alex, and Jace were in there training together. They were all smiling from ear to ear. I leaned on the doorframe and watched them.
How was I supposed to get her to agree with it? I could always just tell her the truth but she would be furious with me. I could tell she still loved Jace. She would be upset if she found out what that I made a deal to send her away to her demon brother so he would kill Jace for me.
I pulled out of my thoughts when someone touched my arm. I looked down to see Alex standing in front of me. I kneel down so I was the same height as her.
"Mommy's upset at you." She said. I looked over at Clary. She had her back to me but I could tell she was listening. Jace stood beside her. I could tell he was listening. He looked over at Clary with worry.
I stood up. "Clary can I talk to you?" I asked. She didn't move and she didn't hesitate giving her answer.
"I'm busy right now." She said. Jace stepped closer to Clary and started rubbing her back. That made me fume. I walked over to Jace and hit him square in the jaw sending him falling to the ground.
"Don't touch her." I said in a firm voice. I turned to Clary and immediately felt guilty.
She looked down at Jace and then looked at me with hate. She pushed me away from her when I reached out to her. She dropped down beside Jace and asked if he was all right. I stormed out the training room.
Clary:
Carter had stormed out of the training room. What is wrong with him? He's been acting so weird lately, trying to get me to agree to spend some time with Sebastian. Why would he want to give me to my half demon brother that I hate?
I looked at Jace whom was on his feet now. He had a fading bruise on the left side of his jaw. He looks at me and gives me a small smile as if he just caught me staring at him. Which he basically did. I can't help but smile back at him. He looks away from me. I follow his eye to see Alex standing across the room.
"Honey you can go back to your room trainings over." I said.
"Is Carter okay?" She asked.
"I don't know honey. Go to your room." I said. She walks out the training room with a little skip to her walk. I turned back to Jace.
"You okay?" I asked. He gave a sly smile.
"Shadowhunter remember. Fight demons for a living. I think I can handle a jealous boyfriend." He said. Is Carter Jealous of Jace? I heard Jace laugh and I knew I had confusion written on my face. I rolled my eyes at him.
"I'm going to take a shower." I said before leaving the training room.
I walked down the corridor to my room. The door was slightly ajar but I was sure I closed it before I left to go to the training room. I slowly inch the door open. I poke my head in to see Carter sitting on the edge of my bed. He was staring at his hands that were dangling limply in between his knees. I glare at him before entering my room. His head snapped up when he heard me come in.
"I wanted to say sorry for everything I've been doing." I stood next to the open door and watched him. I made no move to speak. He could see I wasn't going to say anything so he continued "but I have a good reason for it." I raised my eyebrows.
"And what would that be?" I asked. I crossed my arms on my chest.
"Sebastian cornered me in an alleyway. He told me he wanted you for a day but that I had to make you agree to it and want to go." He started. My face softened as he continued, "he said if you didn't agree in three days and two nights he would take you away and I would never see you again."
Sebastian had cornered him and threatened to take me away forever if Carter couldn't get me to agree to spend a day with him. That sounds like him but there was something about the way Carter was looking at me told me there was more to this story.
I thought a moment it was only one day with my demon brother. Alex would be safe here with Carter and Jace while I was gone. I could protect myself better now than I could seven years ago but there was still no way I could defeat him. I only had to fight him off long enough to get away if he tries anything. Even that might be hard to do. Sebastian doesn't give up easily and he isn't an easy match like a demon.
I nodded "okay I'll go for a day." I said. He signed in relief then smiled at me. He came and gave me a hug.
"You will be okay." He said into my hair. "It’s just for a day." He pulled away and kissed my forehead. He walked out my room leaving me standing by the open door.
I sighed and shut the door before going to the bathroom and taking a hot shower.
Carter:
I walked down the corridor to my room. When I got there, I sent a fire message to Sebastian. Clary had finally agreed to go with Sebastian for a day. I had to tell a little of the truth to get her to agree. I didn't tell her that I made a deal with Sebastian and I didn't say I had given her to him.
I heard a creek come from the window. I looked over to see someone pushing it open from the outside. A few seconds later Sebastian climbed through the open window. I sighed with relief that it was only him. He smiled at me. His smile was somewhat wicked but had a bit of amusement in it.
"So she agreed?" He asked.
"That's what I said in my message." I said.
"I was just wondering if you were lying so I would do your dirty deed with no payment." He said.
"I didn't lie." I said. "She agreed to go willingly if you do no harm her."
"Please..." He said rolling his eyes. "I have no intention of harming Clarissa."
"Then what do you plan to do with her?" I asked.
