The City of Broken Dreams

Chapter 6

Clary p.o.v.

  "Wait. Tell me how you are alive. I know it's the third time, but I was kinda still out of it for the first two." I demanded, after seeing his bright green eyes, and smiling, happy face. He grinned.

  "Long story short, when I died, the... Angels didn't think it was fair that I had the demon blood on me, seeing as it was Valentine's fault, rather than mine. They basically reincarnated me, the same as before, but good."  Obviously they already knew who he was but he wanted to start afresh. He turned to Abby again, hugging her and then kissing her full on the lips.

  "Ewww.... get a room, guys!" Exclaimed Sasha. Sebastian pulled away.

  "Actually, we already have one." He said nonchalantly.

  "Kay.... TMI, guys, TMI. (See what I did?!)" I answered, a bit shaken. Sebastian was alive. He was good. And he was going out with our saviour.

  That was unexpected.

  "Shall we go eat?" I looked at the clock and saw that it was already 6:30. Where had the time gone? We wandered out of the Training room, and followed Abby, Sasha, and Izzy(who were making normal conversation like my brother had not just risen from the dead and turned back to normal from what was supposed to be an irreversible change) to the kitchen. I stopped short when I saw a man and a woman, presumably Abby' s parents, in a tight embrace. Suddenly they turned to us, and hugged Abby and Sebastian. What?

  "And who are these young shadowhunters?" The man said.

  "Umm.... This is Clary,"  She said, pointing to me, "and Izzy and Sasha. They came from the New York institute. They were kind of in need of a home  so.... Please can that stay? Ppllleeeeaaasee???" She turned her puppy dog eyes on them and Sebastian snorted.

  "No one can resist the eyes." He muttered to me, making me giggle. Her Father sighed.

  "Fine! But you are responsible for them. I'm Arthur, and this is Nina."

  "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" She exclaimed, hugging them. "Oh, and by the way, Clary is Seb' s sister."

  "Oh!" Exclaimed Nina. "You should have said! Come on, let me have a hug!" She instructed me. Ookkkaaayyyy.... What was so good about Seb? I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around her. She did the same. Suddenly, it was like being back in the arms of my own mother back at home. A pang of longing shot through me as I wiped away a tear. "Oh dear, it's okay! You are here with us now." She said.

  Seb wrapped his arms around me and I turned into his chest. He lifted me up easily and carried me to my room. He set me down on the bed and demanded to know what was wrong. I sniffed and replied, "Nothing."

  "Domt give me that, I can see that you aren't happy, so just tell me and we can fix it!" He said, wiping away a tear. 

  "J-Jace cheated on me. With Sasha. But she didn't know, so I can't blame her! And I loved him so much that I almost couldn't breathe when I was with him and now he left me, and I  hurts so much!" I bawled, finally letting the emotions out. "It was our two-year anniversary and I walked in on him!" Sebastian looked genuinely worried. Then he smirked.

  "Okay, so... He doesn't deserve to be happy. And if he is.

  "Well, I think I can find a way to fix that."
