Alec POV

A knock came on the institute door. I shrugged off my jacket leaving it on the soft couch and went to get the door.

A familiar face stared back at me from the doorway. Valentine. I grabbed the seraph blade out of my long-sleeved sweatshirt and quickly threw the knife at his heart. I had perfect aim and it t should stab right into his chest, killing him.

But it didn't. It went through him and stabs into the large rock outside the institute. He doesn't even flinch.

"I'm not here. It's a projection. You can't hurt me any more than I can hurt you. Watch." His hand whipped out to slap my face but I ducked out of the way and watched his hand pass through the doorframe.

"Fair enough. You don't trust."

"Why the hell would I trust you?!"

"You shouldn't. It's not a wise move. Unless of course, you wanted to join me."

"What'dya you want Valentine?" I retorted harshly letting all of my anger into my voice.

"I want my spy back. Go get her." Realization hit me. She was spying for him! That evil little rat was on his side! I slammed the door in his holographic face, wondering how he had knocked on the door but mostly just fuming at the fact I had actually bought it!

I stomped up to the infirmary to find her making out with Jace. Ew. I walked up to them, grabbed Clary's shoulder and through her off of Jace.

"Guess who'd father just came to the door asking for his spy back!" I screamed at her. Jace got up, out of the shock he had previously been in.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Alec?!" he yelled at me back.

"Valentine just came to the door and told me that he wanted his spy back!" I looked down into Jace's raging eyes.

"So you're believing Valentine? He's trying to sabotage us! If she was really a spy he wouldn't come to the door asking for her back!" he screamed into my face, sizing me up like he was ready to punch me if it came to it.

I honestly hadn't thought of it like that. I still had suspicions, but I lay off of Clary and stomped out of the room.

Clary POV:

I got up off the ground and looked at Jace. "Hey, maybe Valentine will think we bought it." Jace looked confused.

"I have a plan." I grinned evilly. Later we told everyone else the plan, even though Jace didn't like it very much he agreed, and so did everyone else. Alec seemed really embarrassed about freaking out earlier and stayed quiet but silently nodded after I explained my plan.

I walked up to Father's new hideout and in the door. "Father!" I called, hoping he could hear me.

I walked with confidence, showing no mercy to anything around me, looking superior, just like he had taught me.

I felt a hand grab my shoulder and turn me around; gripping me even tighter once I was facing them. But it wasn't the white-haired man I had expected. It was my brother. Jonathan. Well, that wasn't according to plan.

He punched me in the face, taking me off guard. I was thrown to the ground and bound onto the pole holding the old place up. He walked out of the room and shouted "Father!"

Valentine strutted into the room, looking proud of himself. "I've got your new boyfriend in the other room." He smiled evilly. "This one's a strong Shadowhunter isn't he? Well, not as strong as me."

He walked out of the room and pulling Alec back into the room holding him by the arm. His hands were bound behind his back and his mouth taped shut. Valentine pulled out a dagger and held it near his face, gazing into his blue eyes.

Not taking his eyes off Alec he said calmly "Now, how would you like it if I cut him and killed him just like I did to that disgusting vampire?"

Alec gave me a pleading look. I was about to shout 'he's not even my boyfriend! He's gay!' but then I thought for a second, winked at Alec and shouted "PLEASE! NO! DON'T HURT HIM!" Father took the blade nearer to his face, brushing it across his skin, hard enough to make the skin red, but to draw blood.

"Would you rather me hurt you instead?" he aid calmly.

"YES!" I shouted, letting tears of memories come back into my eyes, and so he came near me, and slashing my arm. Blood gushed out at an alarming rate, staining my white shirt. Just then I saw a flash of gold and Jonathan collapsed while Jace caught him, lying him down silently. He didn't even have time to scream before the blade pierced his heart.

Jace disappeared and then Valentine dropped over me, a long sword protruding slightly out of his chest, covered in blood and muscle tissue. Jace walked over to Alec and quickly cut off his bonds, allowing to rip the duct tape off of his mouth, then did the same for me.

Jace looked at me with those big, beautiful, gold eyes and asked quietly: "So, do you want to go out sometime?" the sarcasm was gone from his voice and he seemed very serious.

I nodded my head and he smiled, grabbing hold of my hand.

(A/N): well! That's the end! If you like it, review! If you didn't, tell me what I could improve on! If you're not sure, tell me ways to improve, and what you like.

Does anyone think I should write an epilogue showing stuff about the other characters or Clary and Jace's date?
