I am one of the Clave. It's in my blood and bones. So tell me, if you're so sure this wasn't my fault, why is it that the first thought in my mind when I saw Abbadon wasn't for my fellow warriors but for you? His other hand came up; he was holding her face, prisoned between his palms. I know-I knew-Alec wasn't acting like himself. I knew something was wrong. But all I could think about was you. ✨ City of Bones. Book by Cassandra Clare, March 27, 2007.
