I want to give a special thx to Vampyre of Night because they were the first who reviewed this chapter. The funny thing is that they reviewed only about 10 minutes after I posted it. Now let's get to the story!
This chapter is extra long just for all of you! :) And I promise, there will be some shocking plot twisters, too!
Previously:
I watched him flash me a cocky smile, and the next thing I know I am kissing him. And after all of these years, he is kissing me back.

I couldn't believe it! One minute I gave Clary a smile and the next thing I knew, she was kissing me! Of course, I kissed back, with all of the passion, love, and anger that had built up after all of these years. Wow, it was amazing!
"Ummmm, sorry about that." Said Clary her cheeks flushing a deep red.
"Don't be" I said, almost at a loss of words.
All of a sudden, Clary jumped up, picked up her things and turned to walk out the door. But I wasn't ready to let go of her that quickly. She shot me a glance with her piercing green eyes and in a last attempt tried to run, but ultimately failed. She had shot out of the door, but I already had a firm grip on her wrists. I drew a small but powerful binding rune on the back of her wrists and she then tore her wrists out of my hands. She stimbled for a minute, and I leaned forward and caught her. She looked deep into my eyes and it felt as though she were looking into my soul. Her eyes were a deep, but elegant green and her pale skin was scattered with freckles. Despite her protests, I put her down on one of the nearby benches and called Isabelle.
"Hey have you caught Sebastian yet?"
"No we lost him about 5 minutes ago. Have you caught Clary?" She asked with a curious tone.
"Yep, I put a binding rune on her. I found her trying to hide in one of the supply closets." I replied, with my signature smirk.

Suddenly, I spot Sebastian all the way across the hallway near the terminal. He is leaning against a post with a pair of sunglasses and a black hat on. He kept on looking in all directions, but one he looked in my direction and his eyes widened. His eyes scanned over Isabelle, Jocelyn, Jace, Alec and I. As I watched him, I just knew that in that brain of his, he was contemplating hundreds of ways to get the hell out of here. Meanwhile, I was beginning to believe that we were never going to get out of here.
Jace glanced down at me and traveled his eyes to where I was looking and fighting off a burst of rage, he saw his sworn enemy.
"Alec, Luke, Jocelyn, Magnus and I will go and try to capture Sebastian. Robert, Maryse and Isabelle you stay here with Clary." He hissed angrily.
Everyone agreed and soon they were nonchalantly but effectively making their way though the crowd towards Sebastian, who decided to run towards the reception desk to take cover.
Meanwhile, I was sitting down on a nearby bench. I tried to reach my stele to free myself, but Isabelle had taken it away from me. She swiftly sat down beside me, with a sad expression upon her flawless face.
"You do know that Jace still loves you," she said in an almost monotone voice. I wish I could answer this, but because of the binding rune, I could not speak. At this moment Isabelle realized it and took my stele out of her thigh sheath (but not without getting the attention of a ew guys walking by) and drew a rune on my wrists. It burned slightly, but soon enough the binds were gone.
I sat motionless for a moment before replying "I would have thought that Jace would have moved on by now." I said, trying to make it sound like I didn't give a damn. "I thought that he would have had plenty of other girls to fill my place."
"It wasn't like that though," she sighed. After you left, he caged himself off from everybody. He went back to his old self. But the thing that was most surprising was that he never really dated. He had a few attempts, but whenever any of us asked him why he had broken up with his girlfriend, he wuld just simply state that none of them were anything like you." She finished.
I sniffed, but before I had the chance to reply, Jace and Alec came up to us, dragging behind them a defeaed looking Sebastian.
Not long after my conversation with Isabelle, Magnus took us to a secluded section of the airport and drew a portal. Not a moment afterwards, I found my self in the Institute. Sebastian and I were dragged into the library, and tied up to two chairs. Both the Morgenstern and Lightwood families sat before us with victorious faces on, while Seb and I were sporting defeated ones.
There was a few moments silence until my mother decided to break the silence.
"Why did you do this to us Clary? How could you have done this to your mother?" She wept into Luke's shoulder.
I couldn't help letting a small smile escape from my lips as I thought about all of the pain that she had made me go through. If she had never kept the Shadow World from me, the maybe this would have never happened. But yet again, I might have never had the opportunity to meet Jace. My reverie was soon the least of my worries as soon as Isabelle said "I called Simon and he said that he would be here soon."
My head snapped up and I met my dark green gaze with Isabelle's black. She grinned.
"Sebastian, tell me, why did you take Clary away from us?" asked Luke in a calm voice.
Sebastian let out a fit of laughter then replied "You of all people should know, Lucian." Everyone's gaze turns to Luke in bewildrement.
"What do you mean?" Asked Maryse.
"Well, that's for me to know and for you to find out, now isn't it?" Hissed Sebastian.
"Well, I think that is enough for tonight "said Robert with a sense of urgency in his voice.
With that, everybody got up and left the library, except for Jace who came up to Seb and I and whispered in my ear. "I'll be back in a couple of hours, I want to take you somwhere." And with that, he left.
I tried to sleep, but I find that sleep wouldn't come. I let my mind wander, but it somehow kept on fonding its way back to Jace. Questions pooped up, too. Would he ever forgive me for what I have done? Does he really still love me? Where does he want to take me?
I looked at the giant grandfather clock across from me and saw that it was 11:45. Well I hope Jace comes soon, I thought.
As if right on cue, Jace quietly steps into the library and walks in front of me. He crouches down and ubties the rope binding my wrists together, but is carefil not to loosen Sebastain's. He lets the rope fall to the ground and gently takes my hand in his rough one. He leads me away, but not without a quick warning glare from Sebastian.
We walk for what seems like hours, but in reality is only a couple of minutes. My footsteps echo eerily through the empty corridors as Jace hastily but cautiously pulls me along beside him. Soon we are at the ladder that leads up to the greenhouse. I climb up, with Jace close behind. As I reach the top, my eye catches on the Midnight flower in the center of the greenhouse. Jace appears behind me and we walk over to it. He gives me one of his genuine smiles and suddenly kisses me.
It is a gentle kiss, but I really dont want it to be gentle, so I pull him in and press my lips harder onto his. His arms begin to slide along my waist and then they stop at my hips. My arms circle around his neck and I lean in closer to him. We stayed like that for a while, until we hear a noise coming from the backround. Not a moment afterwards, I hear a crash and scream coming from downstairs. Jace shoots me a quick look and sees my stunned glare. While pulling out his dagger, he whispers to me "everything is going to be alright" I nod, but deep down, I know it is not.
