Forgetting You

A/N:

Hello anyone who is reading this! This is my first fanfiction to be published to this website, so I'm very excited! Any feedback is welcome and if you have time please review! You would make my day !

Disclaimer: The amazingly talented author Cassandra Clare owns the Mortal Instruments Series!

Ok, A/N finished…on with the story!

(The story starts Page 557, COHF)

"There is everything you want," Asmodeus said, as the gateway flickered and went dark. "And in return I shall take the Daylighter's immortality, and along with it, his memories of the Shadow World – all his memories of you, all he has learned of all he has been. That is my desire."

Clary jolted, as if realising what this deal really meant. All Simon's memories of her and their sacred friendship would be gone. And Izzy – god, Izzy. Izzy had grown to become one of her closest and only friends after she entered the Shadow world, and for Clary to see Izzy heartbroken would be devastating.

She wouldn't stand for this. After all, she had been the one who had brought Simon into this world. He had been through so much. Clary knew that if she really valued her best friend, she wouldn't put him through this. Looking back, Clary had always turned to Simon when she needed him. He was her closest confidant. Anyway, now would be the perfect opportunity to repay Simon. Taking a deep breath, Clary stepped forward.

"No! This can't happen! You can't just take away Simon, like he's a worthless object that you can dispose of!" Clary jabbed a finger toward Asmodeus, who simply laughed.

"Oh, but darling…to us immortals, he is." Asmodeus laughed and then stopped short, as if realising some thing.

"You wouldn't happen to have another deal you could offer me, would you? I mean, sure, this guy's memories are pretty filling…but these days I've been looking for something a little more … substantial, I suppose you could say. I know of a few people in this room who could offer that…" Asmodeus looked around the room, with a glint in his eye. He stared, long and hard at Clary.

Everyone remained silent. Clary's face was a mix of troubled emotions, and for once, Jace couldn't tell what she was thinking or feeling. Magnus looked away, feeling uncomfortable with the situation. This was, after all, his father they were dealing with. The two Lightwood siblings shared a glance, Isabelle seeming to be on the verge of tears.

Alec fidgeted and looked towards his shoes. Although he and Simon weren't especially close, he didn't want to imagine what a heart broken Isabelle would be like. It was rather ironic, how Simon had such an effect on Isabelle. She was usually able to crush most egotistical guys under her 7 inch heels without a second thought, but along comes a geeky, comic loving, mundane-turned Daylighter, and Isabelle loses control.

Asmodeus snapped his fingers, separating everyone from their thoughts.

"I haven't got all day, you know. I really would like an answer soon" Magnus scoffed at this remark.

"Please. You know as well as I do that you've got all eternity to wait. We, however do not. So could you please be a little patient for once in your life?" Alec gripped his hold on Magnus's wrist, as if telling him not to lose his temper.

"Ok, that's it! I can't wait any longer. I'll go." Clary's outburst shocked everyone. Jace was the first to react.

"By the Angel, Clary, no! What are you thinking? Of course, we're not going ot let you go! I-We would never be able to deal with something like that! Just, don't think about it Clary, you're stressing me out!" Jace dropped his head into his hands.

"Jace is right, Clary. None of us would never be able to bring ourselves to willingly let you go! I'm wasting everyone's time… I need to go. There's no other option, really. Good-" Clary cut Simon off.

"Don't even think about saying that! You know what- you said none of you would willing let me go … so I guess you guys will have to do unwillingly… Asmodeus?"

"Thank you! I was getting bored of all the drama. Ok, here goes … brace yourself everyone!" Asmodeus gave a wicked grin. He gripped Clary's wrist. Jace stared, shocked out of his mind. Simon cried out, and everyone else looked on horridly. There was no turning back. This was it.

A sudden mist drifted into the room, clouding everyone's vision. Clary willed herself not to have second thoughts – she braced herself. Her heart seemed to be jumping out her chest. She willed herself to be still. Jace was still crying her name, his voice becoming hoarse. Simon was doing the same.

Then, something floated up and out of her body. What was it? Could it be … yes, it was…her memories. They floated up like a cinema reel. She saw everything, from the time she met Simon, to the life changing moment in Pandemonium…then the memories came faster and more vividly. There was Jocelyn, lying in a coma, Valentine dying, Sebastian turning Shadowhunters into Endarkened.

Then nothing. Just white fog drifting through her mind. Clary reached and tried to almost grab at a memory with her mind, but to no avail. Each memory floating by became slippery and blurry. In desperation, Clary thought of a name. Any name. Nothing came. Again and again, she thought. All she received were the meaningless cutoffs of memories. Blond hair, a heavy sword, a whip shaped like a snake.

Eventually, Clary stopped trying. She let herself float into this new, unfamiliar oblivion.

Before she knew it, she had forgotten.

DUNDUNDUUUUUN.
