Chapter Twelve

Very important authors note at the end! Pls read it!!!
Clary's POV

I ran to my room crying. Like, I get why Alec shouted at me, but it really hurt. Doesn't he understand that I'm mad at myself as well?
Sitting on my bed, I listen to the conversation going on downstairs.
"Great, now look what you've done." I hear Jace say.
Then I hear the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. I run to my door and lock it.
"Clary, Clary! Open up!" Jace shouts as he pounds on the door.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see a piece of paper on the top of my pillow. Ignoring Jace's shouts, I walk over to it and read it.

My dear Clarissa,

It has been so long since I've heard from you! I miss you so much, sister.
Anyway, I understand that you have figured out who sent you here. Of course, just in case you got it wrong, it was me.
Now, I'm going to give you an offer you won't be able to refuse. If you team up with me, I will spare all your family and friends when I take over the Shadow World. If you refuse, then I will I come for you.
I will be waiting in Hyde Park on Monday at 8:00 pm for your answer.

Love your dearest brother,
Sebastian.
P.S Please don't tell anyone one about this letter. If you do, someone will die.

I let the letter fall from my hand and I start shaking uncontrollably. Behind me, I hear Jace break the door down and walk into the room. Soon his arms circle me.
"Are you alright?" He whispers in my ear.
I nod.
"You don't seem alright. Did Alec upset you?" He asks.
Deciding not to tell him about the letter, I nod again.
"He didn't mean it, he just really wants to get home. You know that, right?"
"Yes." I whisper.
He cracks a grin. "We always knew deep inside that Alec would release his inner four year old someday."
I laugh my head off.
"You're right." I say.

"Come on," he says, " let's go back down to the library."
"Okay." I say and I let him lead me out of my room.
As we walk down the stairs, I can't help thinking about Sebastian's offer. Should I agree? Or should I decline? Agreeing means that none of my friends and family will get hurt, but declining means that he will kidnap me and then kill the entire Shadow World. I decide to stop thinking about it. After all, I have until Monday to decide, and that's only four days away. Plenty of time.
