Clary POV

I was standing on top of a cliff. I looked at the beautiful sight of Idris. I looked at my hand. The gold – green ring on my ring finger. I smiled. I remembered the first time I got married. We even did it but I didn't get pregnant, yet. I walked back to the palace. I greeted everyone while I was walking. I was in my same gear I fought in the battle. I had the scars from the battle. I killed my own father and he killed me but I was back. I am alive. I reached the palace.

"Good morning Clary," both the guards at the front gate said.

"Morning fellas," I said. I walked through the hallway and made my way to the main hall. I opened the door and saw everyone there.

Simon, Maia, Jordan, Camille, Max, Raphael, Isabelle, Alec, Magnus, Marsye, Robert, Jocelyn, Luke, and Jace. I walked in.

"Hey Clary," Isabelle said.

"Hi. What are you guys talking about?" I asked.

"Nothing much. We were about to go demon hunting, you want to come?" Maia asked. I nodded my head.

We got our weapons and put our gear on. I told Max he had to stay with the maids till we got back. I told him that when he grows up all of us would go hunting together. He smiled and obeyed. He went to go play with the maids. I felt hands on my waist. I looked up and saw Jace. I smiled.

"Hey," he said.

"Hi, so after we go hunting do you want to walk around the garden?" I said. I always loved the gardens. The beautiful flowers that bloom all over the place, it seems that the garden makes me peaceful.

"Sure but I had other plans after we go hunting," he said.

"What?" he didn't answer, he just turned me around and kissed me. I melted into him and kissed him back. It was a gentle, warm kiss first but it got passionate fast. His hands still on my tiny waist pulled me hard to him. We finally let go and gasped for air.

"That was what I was thinking to do," he said with something in his voice that made me crave for more. I smiled and put my hand in his. We walked out of the palace and saw everyone there with weapons. My mother and Luke said that they were going to stay with Jace's parents. I understood. Since I was married to Jace, my parents wanted to know his parents.

"Finally you guys are here, now let's go," Isabelle whined. I sighed and went to the forest. It was farther away from my home in the woods. We got there and I thought I saw something in the corner of my eye. I turned my head around and saw nothing. I felt a tug on my hand and saw Jace staring at me with concern.

"What's the problem Clary?" he asked.

"Nothing, I thought I saw something."

We all got our weapons out. Then we heard a shriek. I turned around and saw Ravner Demons. It wasn't much but it had to do. We all went up to one and started killing it. I was on a role but I felt something grab my arm and throw me away from the group. I only gasp when I was thrown. I landed on my back. It knocked the air out of me. I gasped for air. I looked up to see where I was. I was still in the forest but it was darker. I looked around to see anyone else was here with me. Then I saw a dark, muscular figure with fair hair. I thought it was Jace first but then the dark figure came closer and the light hit him. The boy was muscular, his hair was so fair that it looked white, and his eyes were black as night. Then I knew who he was. I stared at him. He only smiled.

Jace POV

I killed the last demon. I looked around and I didn't see Clary anywhere.

Where did she go? I asked myself. I went to go look for her. Nowhere, I couldn't find her, I started to head back to the group.

"Did any of you see Clary?" I asked. They all shook their heads.

Dammit Clary, where did you go? Then I heard a scream from the other side of the forest.

Why did Clary go all the way over there?

Clary POV

"What's the matter Clarissa? You don't seem to like having your brother around."

"You were never my brother!" I yelled.

"What did you just say?" he questioned. I stayed silent. He came towards me and I saw him pull out a dagger. I tensed up. I didn't see him coming. He quickly grabbed my arm and yanked it. I yelled in surprise but not that loud. He ran the dagger from my shoulder to my wrist.

"What a long cut I did," he said.

"Jonathan you don't have to do this," I said but it was too late. He grabbed my wrist and twisted it. I screamed in pain. When others did this to me I wouldn't scream in agony I would just yank my wrist back and hurt them. Jonathan was different. Valentine put demon blood in my mother's medicine and the demon blood had infected Jonathan's heart. Now he is a half demon.

"What's the matter? Can't take the pain little sister?" he said teasing me.

"Damn it! What do you want?" I shouted.

"I want you to suffer through the pain like father did," he said simply.

Then something struck Jonathan in his forearm.

"Ahhh!" he screamed in surprise. He let go of his death grip and started saying words I didn't understand. He suddenly disappeared and I saw a golden figure. Jace. I felt dizzy.

What did Jonathan do to me?

Jace POV

We followed the scream. I could tell it was Clary. I was running as fast as I could. I saw Clary and a teenage bot about my age. The boy was had Clary's wrist and it was hurting her. I quickly took my dagger and flung it at him. It struck him and he was gone. I ran over to Clary.

"Clary, Clary!" I yelled. She had already fainted. I carried her bridal style and went to the group.

"What the hell happened?" Isabelle asked, "Jace?"

"C'mon we have to take her back to the palace!" I yelled back. We all raced there. I kept looking at Clary and the path upon us. She looked pale. We reached the palace and we all hurried to the infirmary. I set her upon a bed and went to a doctor. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned and saw Alec.

"Magnus gots this Jace. He'll figure out what's wrong with her," he said. He always cared for everyone. Alec was my older step brother and he was Clary's brother – in – law. I know he cared for her too.

"Okay," I said and calmed down. Alec and I went to where Clary lay. She looked so pale and sick.

"Okay, I need you guys to get out till I am done with her," Magnus said.

"Why?" asked Isabelle.

"I need room. I can't have all of you come over to me and let me lose my concentration with questions fi she's okay," he explained. We all nodded. We left and went to our rooms.

I needed time to think. What happened to Clary? I kept asking myself. I felt tired and it was still morning. I closed my eyes. I drifted to sleep and thought about Clary.

Magnus POV

I told everyone to leave so I could see what happened to Clary. I looked at her. She looked so innocent. Who would do this to her? I shook all the questions away. My hands sparked blue and I did a spell. I closed my eyes and saw a dark figure. It was swirling around her soul. I gasped when the figure jumped at me. I opened my eyes.

"I know what happened to you," I said. I turned around to go get the others. I was halfway to the door, when I felt something hard hit my head. Then everything went black. I fell to the floor and lay there. I heard laughing from behind and my eyes closed.
