Chereads / Bound by Blood (Alec Lightwood) / Chapter 4 - Pandemonium

Chapter 4 - Pandemonium

When i got in the club i started to dance to the beat while Clary walked ahead of me trying to find the Jace dude through the crowd of dancing people.

"I'm gonna fail at getting us some birthday drinks." I heard Simon yell over the loud music

"I'm gonna fail with you." Maureen said

When i turn back around to Clary I realise she is already ahead of me watching Jace go through the curtains of the VIP section of the club. Clary turns around and grabs my hand stopping my dancing as she pulls me along behind her. Getting an idea I grab onto the arm of a guy walking into the VIP section and Clary follows my lead.

"Someone works out." I complement and give the guy my signature smile, the guys eyes start to glow.

"Cool contacts." Clary adds as i roll my eyes nice flirting clary

Once we make it through the curtain we let go of the guy, I look around at the scene in front of me i see a stunning girl about my age with long black hair and i see Jace whispering in some chics ear.

"I hear you've been peddling mundane blood." Jace said to the woman in the pink dress shit we shouldn't be here

"Well you're outnumbered here." She replies

"Oh, I like our odds." He said and takes a Seraph Blade from its holder. "Last chance." No ones noticed were here yet a can just grab Clary and run

I go to grab her hand when she yells "Watch out!" And pushes the person in the pink dress out of the way before Jace can kill her idiot Clary she's the bad guy

"Careful!" Jace pushes Clary away. I turned back to the woman to see her turning in to her demon this cant be good. "Are you hurt?" Jace asks Clary helping her get up, but he is attacked by the demon making the Seraph blade fall from his hand and onto the couch making the blade disappear, Clary picks it up from the couch and the blade returns, Jace taking advantage of the situation pushes the guy that attacked him into the Seraph blade Clary is holding making him disappear, Clary was to shocked to do anything so i snatched the blade out of her hands.

I turn around and see that a demon is sneaking up behind the hot guy with dark hair and blue eyes, i run forwards and stab the demon through the stomach before it can reach its target, He just stared at me for a couple of seconds "Thank you Hayley for saving my life" I said "No problem mysterious hot guy it was my pleasure wouldn't want to see that pretty face ruined by a demon." I continue, i cant tell his facial expression because it is to dark, suddenly he draws an arrow and shoots at a demon i turn around shocked "What no thank you for saving your life." He teases

"Alec!" Jaces voice shook me from my daze, so that's his name i like it, i throw the sword in my hand back to Blondy, while the others finished killing the demons Clary grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the exit of the club.

On the way out Clary bumps into someone she apologises and when i look up i think it Magnus but I don't have time to make sure before Clary is dragging me out of the club again.

We get into the first taxi we see "Drive" I say telling the man Clarys address.

When we get to her house Clarys starts to explain everything to Jocelyn (her mum) about everything that happened in the club I just sit there looking at Jocelyn knowing that she has no choice but to tell Clary everything

"And then these creepy tentacles seemed to come out of the body builders face, and... and then the guy just... vaporised." She was trembling. "I mean, i was drugged right?" Clary asked Jocelyn

"What did the markings look like on the blonde boy you were talking about?" Jocelyn asked calmly, she looked at me and I nodded.

"Who cares, mum, okay? Are you even listening to me? I think I killed a guy." Clary says looking like she is about to explode.

"Clary... did they look like this?" Jocelyn says taking a stele from her pocket and moving it over her arm to reveal the angelic rune.

"Mum, what the..." Clary mumbled looking even more confused than before.

"Everything you saw tonight has a meaning and an explanation, and I've dreaded having this conversation with you since the day you were born." She told her

"What is going on?" Clary starts to stammer "Am i going insane?"

"No, you're not.But the protections are wearing off. You're 18 now, and you need to know the truth."

"Protections? What does that even mean? Mum your scaring the hell out of me." Clary said her voice shaking slightly

"I know, and that's why I've put this off until the last possible minute." Jocelyn says thank god i wont have to keep this a secret any longer. Suddenly Dot enters Clarys apartment looking worried.

"Jocelyn, look out the window. Magnus called to warn us. They found you." She told Jocelyn, so it was Magnus i saw, Jocelyn went to the window to look outside.

"Dot, is time." Jocelyn said and went to grab something. "Okay, listen to me. You cannot be near me." She told Clary and I.

"What's happening?" Clary asked worried.

"I got a very powerful person angry." She said

"What did you do?" Clary asked

"I hid something from him and his followers."

"Followers? Why cant we just call the police?" Clary asked

"The policemen you need to call is Luke." She said looking at me, I nodded to let her know I would take care of it. "Keep this with you and think of me when you wear it." She said turning back to Clary to put the necklace around her neck.

"Mum this is not the time for more birthday gifts. What the hell is happening?" Clary asked annoyed as she pulled her hair out from under the necklace.

"Only if you need it." Dot told Jocelyn handing her a bottle with a green potion in it.

"Trust your instincts, your more powerful than you know, Hayley will explain everything to you." Jocelyn told Clary and i nodded my head again.

"Mum, I need to understand what's..." Jocelyn cut Clary off mid sentence.

"Dot, open it." She said as Dot started to open the portal behind us, I grabbed Clary hand and pulled her backwards towards the portal. "Everything Ive done , every mistake i made is because i love you more than words," Jocelyn told Clary "You to Hayley." I smile at her Jocelyn has always been like a second mother to me.

"What are you doing?" Clary asked

"Luke and Hayley will explain everything, they'll hide you."

"Hide me? From what, from who?" Clary asked

"From the Circle. He's the only one you can trust. Trust no one else." She told Clary

"Mum, I don't..." She cut CLary off

"Where is Luke now?"

"At the police station." I answered calmly even though the question wasnt directed to me I wanted Jocelyn to know that everything was going to be okay.

"Remember i love you." Jocelyn exclaimed over the sound of the portal

"Mum! Mum!" Clary starts to scream as i pull her into the portal

"Clary!" She screams

"Mum!" CLary screams one more time before we disappear though the portal.

I open my eyes when i hear heels clicking on the floor, i turn my head and see Captain Vargas walking towards us.

"Clary? Hayley?" Captain Vargas asked looking at us on the floor

"Captain Vargas." I greet standing up pulling Clary up with me.

"Its 2:00 in the morning, what are you doing here so late?"

"Uh, um... Luke said he'd, uh, drive us home if he was still here." Clary answers

"Still doesn't trust those cabbies, huh? Well, he's in the middle of an interview. It could take a while." She told us

"All good, we we'll wait in the cafeteria." I say heading in that direction.

"Hey uh..." i turn to look at her. "Is there some sort of problem? Guy trouble?"

"Yeah, they just cant keep there hands off me." Is say causing her to laugh, i turn back around and walk slowly until i cant hear Captain Vargas' heels any more then me and Clary turn to go down the stairs to Luke's office.

"The minute we found out Jocelyn Fairchild was alive, You were easy to track." The man said.

"Fairchild?" CLary whispered she turned to look at me and i held my finger to my lips telling her to be quite.

"Turns out you and Jocelyn were never that far apart. The circle has her now. Its just a matter of time until we catch the daughter." The woman told Luke "You can have both of them if you give up the Mortal Cup."

"I don't care about either of them. They mean nothing to me." Luke told them, good idea Luke that'll throw them off. Clary gasps next to me and i cover her mouth with my hand, i don't blame her she doesn't know that he is doing it to protect her. "Kill them if you like. My people want the cup. Why do you think I've been hanging around here all these years? Now, when i find the Cup... I'm gonna keep it, and you can tell Valentine and the Circle that."

"No one mentioned Valentine." The woman said

"You didn't have to." Luke told her

"Listen to me." The man starts pointing to Luke, but he pushes the mans finger away angrily and points to him.

"No you listen to me. Gt out of my office." He points to the exit and me and CLary duck behind the wall

"Mum... Mum" CLary whispers and starts to run away

"Clary" I hiss after her but she doesn't listen to me so i get up and run after her.

When we reach the antique shop under Clary and Jocelyns apartment everything is destroyed, the antiques are all over the floor and all the glass is smashed I'm surprised no one has called the cops yet.

"Mum! Mum!" Clary calls out but i know its useless Jocelyn is long gone by now. "Mum!" Clary says again falling to the floor crying, im on the verge of tears but i know crying wont help anyone so i pull myself together.

"Clary lets go upstairs." I say pulling her up, as were about to walk up the stairs i hear Dots voice behind us we both turn around and she says "They took Jocelyn."

"Who took her." CLary asks for the fifth time

"Rogue shadowhunters searching for the Mortal Cup."

"What are you talking about."

"Think Clary, Did your mother ever talk to you about a cup? A very important cup. Its gold, almost like a chalice." This isn't Dot, Dot would be more caring and she would know that Clary had her memories taken and wouldn't remember where the cup was even if it she was told.

"No, no, I don't know anything about a cup, Dot." Clary takes a couple of steps forward stammering "One of the antiques in your shop." I grab her hand pulling her back towards me.

"No, no, not those," Dot inhales deeply. "Think Clary this could save Jocelyn."

"That's not Dot Clary, its somethings disguised as her." The demon looks at me and growls.

"I cant think! Someone kidnapped my Mother!"

"You know more than you think you do Clary Fray." Dot says turning into her demon form, I reach over and grab a metal spear from a broken glass case stepping in front of Clary to protect her.

The demon goes to attack me so i stab it with the spear and push Clary to the side, this was never going to work I didn't have a Seraph blade on me so I couldn't kill it, the demon goes to attack me again so i jump and flip over it and know the demon has lost interest in me and is heading for Clary shit the spear is still sticking through the demons stomach so before it can reach Clary i run forwards and pull the spear making it stumble backwards it turns around and runs at me stabbing me in the side making me slid down the wall were fucked i realise.

Suddenly Jace and the hot guy from the club into the store, Jace goes and kills the demon but not quite in time because it nicked Clarys shoulder.

"What, no thank you for saving your life?" I heard him ask, "Careful that demon got a piece of you." He told her looking at her wounds

"Demons?" Clary asked

"Yeah, what do you think that miserable, disgusting thing was?"

"I, uh... I thought it was Dot." Clary and Jaces voices start to fade and i realise that i am losing consciousness with the spear still sticking out of me.

"No, Ravener demon, Shapeshifter." I sigh as pain washes through me

"Your just saying words now." She told him. "Why... why is the room swirling?"

"Demon venom." Jace says taking a deep breath

"Is that bad?" Clary says falling unconscious.

"Hey" I look up to see the blue eyed guy Alec staring at me "I'm going to have to take this out now so i can get you back to the institute." I nod biting my lip hard so I don't scream out in pain. And then darkness washes over me and i fall unconscious as he picks me up bridal style.
