Jaces p.o.v:

I stared up at the ceiling of the room I was in. Or at least I think its a room. I have no idea where I am, what I'm doing, or where Clary is. All I remember is being knocked out, and next thing I know, I'm hanging from the ceiling. Luckily, I wiggled my foot out of the handcuff, and fell down from the ceiling, almost breaking my wrist.

I would say that happened about two days ago, so now I'm on the ground-in whatever place I'm in.

My palms, my knees, my chest, my head, and basically every part of my body are throbbing for Clary.
I can't take it, Clary is part of my soul. I need her. For angels sake, I don't even now if Clary is alive.
But one thing I do know is that Sebastian has Clary- I can feel it. And he probably has done something bad to Clary.
Once I break out of wherever I am, I'm coming for Clary. If Sebastian is in my way, so be it.
I'll just have to kill him.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I reach into my back pocket, hoping my stele is in it. My hand touches something, so I grab it out if my pocket fully so I can see if its my stele.

It is my stele.

My brain freezes up when I try to think of the rune that destroyed valentines ship.

Then, like a firework, my brain booms with excitement as I finally remember the rune. My hand gracefully glides along the wall, tracing precisely the rune.
I back up quickly from the wall as it lights up on fire. The fire beams off a light, and I can finally see a door. I hastily turn the knob and burst into the outside.

"Wow, I would of thought Sebastian had harder security." I whisper to myself.

Slowly but silently, I walk out by a tree to search the area where I am. The area is too familiar.

Its Alicante.

From the glass towers to the Penhallows house, it all connects. I start sprinting over the Penhallows, hoping Patrick or Jia is there.

As I knock on their door, a worried face comes to the door.

"Jace?" Jia's expression changes.

"Hello, Mrs.Penhallow. Is it OK of I come in, I have to ask something big of you."

"Yes, yes. Anything." Jia ushers me in and looks before shutting the door.

"You came on a lucky day, I would of been with the clave today, but instead we are preparing for Sebastian. " Her face is grim.

"Well, its about time my luck has shone. Can you possibly track Clary? With the claves high tech tracker? I heard the clave got one, but only members are supposed to use it for emergencies. Please, I don't know where she is, Sebastian trapped me and the angel knows what he did to Clary. I'll help you if you help me." My eyes pleaded like puppy eyes.

Jia thought for a second before answering.

"Well, it will take a couple of days, but you can stay here until the tracking is done. In return, I need you to prepare some seraph blades, knives, and swords with runes that will burn Sebastian if he touches them."

"OK, tha-" Jia interrupted me.

"And do you have something of Clary's so we can track her?"

I pulled a piece of red hair out of my pocket.

"Took it out of her hairbrush."

"Thanks. I'll start the tracking today and it should be done by Tuesday." Jia was about to leave, but before she did, I asked her one last question.

"And what day is it today?"

"Thursday. Make yourself comfortable, have some food, and I'll be back at 11. Bye, Jace."

My stomach growled when 'food' was mentioned.

"Bye, Jia."

For the next couple of hours, I ate like I haven't eaten in weeks.
Well, technically, I haven't  eaten in weeks.

After I was done munching on my fulfilling snacks, I looked on the counter to find a bunch of runes on a paper that I was supposed to draw on the weapons.

I snatched the paper and ran to the weapons room. It took me a couple minutes to actually find it, but it was all worth it.

So many new weapons, probably provided by the clave, were hung up on racks upon racks. My fingers guided along a bunch of them, and I finally found the weapons I was looking for. I drew runes against the surfaces of each weapon, making sure to put at least five runes on each one.
But, I do have Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday to do it, so I decided to leave the last half for those days. It would give me something to do at least.

Looking at the big display clock, it was 9:27pm.

I decided to go to bed. Running up the stairs, I rounded the corner and slept in a room that was marked 'guests only'.

My body plummeted onto the soft and plushy bed. Finally, I was comfortable and relaxed. Slowly shutting my eyes, I dozed off to sleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------

The days went by in a flash, and soon enough, it was Tuesday. I got up and out of bed, and took a shower like I had done the other 3 days.

After I was done, it was only 8am, so I decided to have some breakfast.

I hate a protein bar, eating it slowly. Glancing to the right of me, there was a note scribbled in Jia's handwriting.

Be home at 11am.  Make sure you finish the weapons, and also please line them up neatly. Thank you and see you hopefully soon,

Jia Penhallow.

I crumpled the note up before going to line all the weapons up.

The clock was no help, only 2 hours away from now, and I would find out where Clary is.
Second by second, minute by minute, and hour by hour, 11 o'clock came. But it sure did take awhile.

At 11:07,  Jia was home.

"Hi Jia! Do you know where Clary is?" I beamed.

"Um, yes. Now Jace, I'm so sorry. But, b-" Her eyes filled with tears. "Clary is dead."

My heart dropped, my eyes filled with tears and I sprinted upstairs to the guest bedroom. I was destroyed. My face was wet with tears and my heart was broken, nothing could ever mend it back.

I just lost my Clary. I just lost the point of life, because Clary was my point if life. I had lost so many things today, including me. 

Jace herondale would never return to himself  without Clary herondale.
