TMI Gang All Grown Up

Chapter 3

"Is he alive?" Sebastian asks. Stephen was tied up in an attic above the house, at least it looks like him. He is bloody, very bloody.
"That's why he is breathing," Jace says, I look at Stephen who hasn't moved but I can see that he is breathing.
"Stephen?" I move to him. But he doesn't move.
"Use an iratze," Sebastian says.
"Don't know how well it'll work," I say and draw one on his arm, and a blood lose one, so he can regain strength from losing all that blood. I step back next to Jace, who's face is so sad. He just met his father but he is almost dead. I hear a loud gasp from Stephen.
"Stephen," I bend down as he turns his body so he is leaning on the wall.
"Who-who are-you?" He stutters as if he hasn't spoken in years, which he most likely hasn't. "How long have I been here?"
"If I told you, you wouldn't believe," Jace says and Stephen turns his head to him.
"Who are you people?" He tries standing but I stop him.
"Stephen, stop. I'm Clarrisa Adele Fairchild Herondale, this is my brother Jonathan Christopher Morganstern-"
"Sebastian," he corrects.
"And your son, Jace Herondale," I watch as Stephen takes it all in.
"How... But Celine died-with you inside of her..." Stephen's whole body shakes.
"Well, Valentine cut him out," Sebastian fills in.
"You're his son?" Stephen asks my brother and he nods.
"I am his daughter too," I tell him.
"How are you alive?" Sebastian said.
"I don't know, maybe he did something?" He suggests, I bend down and look at his wrist, it has a rune that I've never seen on his wrist.
"Stephen, what rune is this?" I ask him.
"-the living rune..." he says.
"That's how you are alive," I say standing back up.
