"Yeah," he said, eyelashes lowering as his gaze traced the movement of her fingers. "It hurt me being away from you. It feels like there's a hook dug in under my ribs, and there's something pulling at the other end. Like I'm tethered to you, no matter the distance."

Mark whirled on them. His eyes were blind, unseeing. "You bring the twins in front of me and you kill them over and over. My Ty, he doesn't understand why I can't save him. You bring me Dru and when she laughs to see the fairytale castle, all ringed round with hedges, you throw her against the thorns until their pierce her small body. And you bid me wash in Octavian’s blood for the blood of an innocent child is magic under the Hill."

Cristina looked after Emma, her hand going to the pendant at her own throat. It was silver, in the shape of a circle with a rose inside it. The rose was wrapped around with thorny briars. Words were written in Latin on the back: she didn't need to look at them to know them. She’d known them all her life. ''Blessed be the Angel my strength who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.'' The rose for Rosales, the words for Raziel, the Angel who had created the Shadowhunters a thousand years ago. Cristina had always thought Emma fought for her ''parabatai'' and for revenge, while she fought for family and faith. But maybe it was all the same thing: maybe it was all love, in the end.

Now he looked at her sideways. "You don't think I look like a Shadowhunter any more?"
 
 
"Do you want to?" Cristina asked.
 
 
"I want to look like my family," Mark said. "I cannot have the Blackthorn coloring, but I can look as much like Nephilim as possible. Besides, if I wish to be part of the investigation, I cannot stand out."
 
 
Cristina held back from telling Mark that there was no world in which he didn't stand out. "I can make you look like a Shadowhunter."

She had wondered, when he'd looked into her eyes and said that he'd had to learn to make do without mirrors in the Wild Hunt, whose eyes he'd been looking into for all those years. Who'd been his mirror.
 
 
Now she knew.

"Do I?" Diana leaned back in her chair, tapping her pencil against the back of her right hand, where the Rune of Sight was inked. Every Shadowhunter had a Voyance rune on their dominant hand, allowing them to see through glamours. Emma's was on her left. "Well, if I know what you did, and you know what you did, maybe you should tell me what your punishment should be?"
 
 
"I should have to take care of a box of kittens," Emma said immediately. "Definitely a box of kittens. You know how cruel kittens are, with their tiny little claws and terrible attitudes."

"Emma —"
 
 
"I'm calling." Emma lunged for her phone.
 
 
"No!" Julian said, forcefully enough to stop her. "You know we can't tell anyone. About Mark —"
 
 
"You're not going to bleed to death in a car for Mark!"
 
 
"No," he said, looking at her. His eyes were eerily green-blue, the only bright color in the dark interior of the car. "You're going to fix me."

"I know things haven't been exactly right between us since I got back from England," he said. "And I don't know if it's because I'm a little jealous of Cristina, or a lot jealous of —"
 
 
"JULIAN," Emma said.
 
 
<big>'''[http://cassandraclare.tumblr.com/post/101382586434/tda-snippet Teaser #9]'''</big>
 
 
"Loved?" he said in a cold voice. "Do you no longer? Remember, half-blood, I know that you can lie."
 
 
Mark flicked his eyes up. He saw the storm in those eyes, but behind the storm he saw two boys as small as stars in a distant sky, locked together under a blanket.

"You've got a lot of responsibility now," Jace said to Julian. "You'll have to make sure Emma winds up with a guy who deserves her."
 
 
Julian was strangely white-faced. Maybe he was feeling the effects of the ceremony, Emma thought. It had been strong magic; she still felt it sizzling through her blood like champagne bubbles. But Jules looked as if he'd been slapped.
 
 
"What about me?" Emma said, quickly. "Don't I have to make sure Jules winds up with someone who deserves him?"
 
 
"Absolutely. I did it for Alec, Alec did it for me — well, actually, he hated Clary at first, but he came around."
 
 
"I bet you didn't like Magnus much, either," said Julian, still with the same odd, stiff look on his face.
 
 
"Maybe not," said Jace, "but I never would have said so."
 
 
"Because it would have hurt Alec's feelings?" Emma asked.
 
 
"No," said Jace, "because Magnus would have turned me into a hat rack."

"I don't know," Mark said, looking down at his own long pale fingers tangled in the little boy's brown curls. "He just - Julian left, and Tavvy fell asleep on my lap."
 
 
He sounded amazed, wondering.
 
 
"Of course he did," Cristina said. "He's your brother. He trusts you."
 
 
"Nobody trusts a Hunter," Mark said.

"Hello? This is Clary Fairchild."
 
 
"Clary? It’s me, Emma."
 
 
"Oh, Emma, hi! I haven't heard from you in ages. My mom says thanks for the wedding flowers, by the way. She wanted to send a note but Luke whisked her away on a honeymoon to Tahiti."
 
 
"Tahiti sounds nice."
 
 
"It probably is — Jace, what are you doing with that thing? There is no way it'll fit."
 
 
"Is this a bad time?"
 
 
"What? No! Jace is trying to drag a trebuchet into the training room. Alec, stop helping him."
 
 
"What's a trebuchet?"
 
 
"It's a huge catapult."
 
 
"What are they going to use it for?"
 
 
"I have no idea. Alec, you're enabling! You're an enabler!"
 
 
"Maybe it ''is'' a bad time."
 
 
"I doubt there'll be a better one. Is something wrong? Is there anything I can do?"
 
 
"I think we have your cat."
 
 
"What?"
 
 
"Your cat. Big fuzzy Blue Persian? Always looks angry? Julian says it's your cat. He says he saw it at the New York Institute. Well, saw ''him''. It's a boy cat."
 
 
"Church? You have Church? But I thought — well, we knew he was gone. We thought Brother Zachariah took him. Isabelle was annoyed, but they seemed to know each other. I've never seen Church actually ''like'' anyone like that."
 
 
"I don't know if he likes anyone here. He bit Julian twice. Oh, wait. Julian says he likes Ty. He’s asleep on Ty's bed."
 
 
"How did you wind up with him?"
 
 
"Someone rang our front doorbell. Diana, she's our tutor, went down to see what it was. Church was in a cage on the front step with a note tied to it. It said ''For Emma. This is Church, a longtime friend of the Carstairs. Take care of this cat and he will take care of you. —J.''"
 
 
"Brother Zachariah left you a cat."
 
 
"But I don't even really know him. And he's not a Silent Brother any more."
 
 
"You may not know him, but he clearly knows you."
 
 
"What do you think the J stands for?"
 
 
"His real name. Look, Emma, if he wants you to have Church, and you want Church, you should keep him."
 
 
"Are you sure? The Lightwoods —"
 
 
"They're both standing here nodding. Well, Alec is partially trapped under a trebuchet, but he seems to be nodding."
 
 
"Jules says we'd like to keep him. We used to have a cat named Oscar, but he died, and, well, Church seems to be good for Ty's nightmares."
 
 
"Oh, honey. I think, really, he's Brother Zachariah's cat. And if he wants you to have him, then you should."
 
 
"Why does Brother Zachariah want to protect me? It's like he knows me, but I don't know why he knows me."
 
 
"I don't exactly know … But I know Tessa. She's his — well, girlfriend seems not the right word for it. They've known each other a long, long time. I have a feeling they're both watching over you."
 
 
"That's good. I have a feeling we're going to need it."
 
 
"Emma — oh my God. The trebuchet just crashed through the floor. I have to go. Call me later."
 
 
"But we can keep the cat?"
 
 
"You can keep the cat."

“Let me tell you a truth before you die, Emma," said the voice. "It is a secret about the Nephilim. They hate love, human love, because they were born of angels. And while God charged his angels to take care of humans, the angels were made first, and they have always hated God's second creation. That is why Lucifer fell. He was an angel who would not bow to mankind, God's favored child. Love is the weakness of human beings, and the Angels despise them for it, and the Clave despises it too, and therefore they punish it. Do you know what happens to ''parabatai'' who fall in love? Do you know why it's forbidden?"

Not since she'd left home had Cristina so clearly and painfully remembered what they had been to each other when they were younger. How much she had loved Diego. Her heart had felt torn to pieces when he cried out for his brother, pleading with him. ''Jaime, Jaime, ayúdame. Help me.'' And then he had cried out for her, and that was worse. ''Cristina, no me dejes. Regresa.''
 
 
''Cristina, don't leave me. Come back. I love you.''
 
 
I'm here, she'd told him. Not gone. She remembered him asking if there was someone else...
