The next morning Jonathan took Isabelle to Quadrilatero d'Oro, the rectangle of gold. Izzy was like a kid in the candy store looking in all the shops Chanel, Luis Vuttion, Prada she went through every store and found it shocking that she didn't much care for a lot of things. When they returned to the house Isabelle's ruby lit up like a stop light as Jonathan pinned her against the wall with a finger to his lips. He placed a hand on the door and closed his eyes feeling the energy on the inside. "There are five three downstairs and two up" he said taking out two daggers and she uncoiled her whip. "He's here" he gasped opening his eyes. "When we get in go right to the room get your portal and go home"

"What about you"

"Isabelle please go home I'll be fine, I promise I'll come back to you"

"I'm not leaving you here with him" she whispered through gritted teeth. Jonathan kissed her gently and grabbed her face forcing her to stare into his flickering eyes. "Jonathan don't"

"Isabelle you will go into the house get your portal and go home then destroy it so that you can't come back" he said sadly. Tears streamed from her eyes and he kissed them away "I promised you I would protect you, this is me keeping that promise" he said as he kicked the door open and threw a blade killing a demon instantly. He flipped across the room and grabbed two seraph blades from the corner and calling them to life as the others struck. He heard a scream and quickly cut down the other two demons and raced to his room but was stopped by the sight of Valentine holding a blade to Isabelle's throat. "My son" Valentine smiled wickedly. "You're a hard person to track down"

"Let her go Valentine"

"How dare you show such disrespect!" he shouted pressing into the blade drawing blood. "My apologies father" he corrected. "Please let her go" he asked. "First Clary now you" he vented slamming Isabelle against the wall holding the blade at her heart. "What is it with you Lightwood's and my children" he growled. "Father stop! Drop the blade and back away" Jonathan shouted; his eyes flickering like out of control flames. Valentine struggled against the command and Jonathan was having a hard time keeping his hold, he quickly got light headed and his nose began to bleed. "Jonathan stop it" Izzy screamed, but he held firm. Valentine finally dropped the blade and Izzy took off following Jonathan's previous instructions and before she knew it she was literally falling into the library crashing through a table. "Isabelle! What happened" Clary and Simon said. She could only cry as she brought the portal over her head and smashed it to the ground. "Damn you Jonathan!" she screamed bloody and sobbing in Clary's arms. Jocelyn came running into the library having heard the crashing sound and immediately called for Luke and the others. Izzy told them about Valentine and the ambush. "You left him!" Jocelyn cried into Luke's shoulder. "He made me!" Izzy yelled at her. "And he told me to smash the portal when I got here so that I couldn't come back" she sobbed. "you didn't actually have to do it!" Jocelyn argued. "She did mom" Clary said speaking for the first time since they'd started. "Like me Jonathan has a gift, he could make people do whatever he wanted; even against their will. She had no choice" Clary explained. "Where were you?" Clary suddenly shouted. "Milan, he finally found the other moving apartment" Clary pulled out her steele and raced to the wall but she couldn't go through "damn it, he isn't letting me through" she cried punching the wall. "It's not him, if you can't get through it's because the house is either moving or suspended in a void so that it can't be traced" Izzy said crying again. Clary let out a frustrated scream and turned to close the portal when four arms reached out and pulled her through. "Clary!" Jace screamed racing to go through the portal but hit a blank wall, the portal had vanished. "Goddamn it!" Jace cried repeatedly kicking the wall. "Jocelyn!" Luke screamed as she fell limp in his arms. Jace crumbled breathing heavily and holding back tears... she couldn't be gone, not again. Clary was dragged through her brother's house and down to the basement where she was heart broken to see Jonathan chained to a wall with new lash marks decorating the skin of his back. "Jonathan" she whimpered as they chained her to the wall next to him. He turned his flushed face and stared wide eyed at her "No!" he screamed struggling to break free of his bonds. A sinister laugh echoed from the corner and Valentine came into view holding a whip decorated with demon metal. "My dear Clarissa, what have you done to my son?" Clary faced the wall and remained silent. "You will not defy me Clarissa" he seethed but she said nothing. She heard the crack of the whip and prepared for the blow nothing happened; Clary turned when she heard it again and watched in horror as the skin of Jonathan's back was split open. "Stop it!" she screamed watching her brother take the beating in silence. "Are you ready now son?" Valentine asked grabbing the mortal cup from a small table in the corner. "Go to hell" Jonathan spat. Valentine sat the cup down and was at his side in an instant smashing his face into the wall. "You will respect me Jonathan" he ranted to before grabbing a fistful of Clary's hair yanking her head back. "What about you Clarissa? Are you finally ready to become apart of our family?" he questioned. Clary went silent once again; Valentine laughed and retrieved his whip and the sting of demon caused pain to sear through Clary's back. She didn't scream but she bit her lip so hard she drew blood. "Damn you Valentine!" Jonathan screamed as he helplessly watched Clary be beaten, she help strong for the first few lashed but after a few minutes her ear splitting screams tore at his heart; hearing his sister cry out in pain was worse than any torture.
