Chapter 27

"What's going on in here!" Mayrse stormed in Jocelyn and luke no where to be seen.

"One minute you can't wait to get rid of Clary and the next your here hugging her" isabelle released Clary and took a step back.

"She's not  Sebastion's Clary anymore mum." Mayrse death stated Clary.

"Well I don't believe that. I think she's playing with us. Just like she did last time." Mayrse turned on her heel and walked out. Jace and Isabelle turned to look at each other.

"Jace can I talk to you please" Jace nodded slightly.

"Clary can you please give us a moment." Clary hesitantly walked out of the infirmary closing the door behind her.

" Jace what if mums right. We don't know if Clary telling the truth or if she's even Clary." Jace looked in her eyes.

"I know it's Clary I saw it. The way she toppled over in pain I saw the burning of Sebastion's mark. The only thing I can't explain is the fact that she drank from the cup. The only way to free someone from that curse is to kill them. I don't understand how Clary is standing here, herself." Isabelle sat on the side of Jace's bed.

"Your right none of us understand Jace. Maybe there's a simple explanation that's been right in front of us the hole time. Maybe we have to dig even further to find the answer. We just have to be patient." Isabelle smiled hopefully at Jace. There was a knock on the door and they both turned to see who it was. Alec came in and Clary slid by him.

"There's going to be a meeting in the kitchen in 5 minuets" Alec said. His eyes landed on Clary and he quickly looked away.

"Alec!" Isabelle called.

"You know that Clary's no longer a threat to us right." Alec shrugged and walked away.

"What do you think the meetings about?" Jace asked.

"Probably what to do about me." Answered Clary.

"Nothings going to happen to you Clary"

" yeah sure whatever" There was silence for a moment before Isabelle said.

"We should probably head to the meeting". Jace and Clary followed Isabelle out to the kitchen.

When they got there the table was surrounded.  There was Magnus, Alec, Jocelyn, Luke, Raphael and a few council members Clary didn't recognise. Jocelyn got up and walked towards her. She slapped her hard on the cheek.

"GET OUT OF MY DAUGHTER YOU BASTARD!!" Clary was scared she had never seen her mother react like this to anything. She gripped Clary's shoulders and shook her from side to side.

"SO HELP ME SEBASTION IF YOU TOUCH HER..." Clary stumbled back as Luke came and held Jocelyn back. She had no idea what was going on or what they were talking about. Luke had managed to get Jocelyn to her seat, she put her head on the table and silent tears were running down her face.

"Please I'll do anything just give my back my daughter." Luke put an arm around her shoulders. Clary wasn't sure if it was for comfort or to make sure she wouldn't try and do anything again.

"Come in and please sit" said Mayrse sternly. Isabelle took the seat next to her brother and Jace and Clary took seats next to a council member and luke.

"So we aren't going to bother with all that fussing around introducing yourselves thing does everyone know Clary?" Mayrse demanded. 

"Yes" everyone said.

"Good now we can just get straight to the point. Clary has convicted a number of crimes. She killed her best friend Simon..." Clary froze and she could feel the tears well in her eyes. Mayrse looked sternly at her.

"There's no point in trying to get people to feel sorry for you. We all know what you did Clary." Raphael stated.

"Im not trying to trick you or excuse myself from anything.  I can assure you though that I have no idea what your talking about. I have no memory.  The last thing I remember is walking over to Taki's to meet Sebastion then waking up on a cold floor seeing Sebastion screaming and Jace looking shocked."

"Your lying, your still trying to trick us even after you've been caught"

"Mayrse that's enough!" One of the council members yelled. Mayrse stood from her seat. 

"Enough? Haha THAT'S ENOUGH MAYRSE BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT YOUR RIGHT-" Mayrse mocked. Alec rose from his chair also.

"Mum calm down." He slowly walked over to her and grabbed her arm slightly.

"How bout you go and lie down." Alec guided Mayrse from the room.

"Well that was peculiar. I've never seen anything like it in all my years of being alive." Magnus said. But he was right. That was peculiar Clary would never forget those blood red eyes.
