protector or destroyer. (shadow hunter fanfic)

seeing Johnathon

Ria had gone onto the dance floor. She found Clary and Isabelle fairly quickly. With Clary's hair much lighter than hers it looked like her hair was on fire, while Ria's looked to just be a darker red. Suddenly Ria was gasping. The air turned thick and her eyes had black spots around the rim. She felt her blood turn cold. A violent shiver ran through her body. She stood frozen to place. "hello sister." She felt her lips move but someone else's voice came out of them. "you look beautiful." She felt her skin move. She looked down and she was still planted in the same place. "oh, I'm just here to say hello. I really did want to see my sister." With every word her skin felt like it was being ripped off her bones. She looked up and saw a figure standing in front of her. His hair shone like silver. He turned and then disappeared. A rush of air filled her lungs. She looked up again and found Clary standing opposite her.

"Clary?" Ria noticed that her eyes were glistening. "Clary are you ok?"

Isabelle and Clary were on the dance floor. Moving to the beat of the music. Clary twirled Isabelle around watching her black hair whirl around her. Clary turned around and froze. In front of her stood Sebastian. her brother. "Sebastian?!"

"hello sister." He took a step forward.

"w-what? h-h-how?" her voice trembling with fear.

"you look beautiful." he stepped forward again.

"why are you here?"

"oh, I'm just here to say hello. I really did just want to see my sister." Clary tried stepping back but found herself frozen with fear.

"your dead."

"yeah I know."

"how?"

"I found a way to see you. You know us Morgenstern's never do know when to give up." He was so close to her she was sure he could hear her heartbeat. He lifted her chin and kissed her tears away. Before hugging her. he snapped his back and then disappeared.

"Clary?" a voice said to her, but she wasn't registering her. "Clary are you ok?"

"Sebastian?"

"what?" Clary looked up to see Ria standing opposite her a couple steps away from where he was. Ria looked exhausted.

"nothing."

"ok. well we are leaving. Grab Izzy and let's go." Clary turned and found Isabelle straight away. She half dragged half walked Isabelle to the exit. Where they met Jace, Simon and Alec.

Jace came up to her, concern in his eyes. "you ok?"

"yeah. Where is Ria?"

"she said she would make her own way home." Jace answered. "said something about going to go for a walk."

"what is that? Around your wrist." She said.

He looked down carefully playing with the beads. "Ria gave it to me. She gave it to me as a gift. Said she didn't need it anymore."

"that was here brothers. She told me she has never taken it off. Why would she give it to you?" Clary turned to Alec's voice.

"I don't know?"
