Hey guys this is my first time writing on Fan Fiction but I just watched "The Mortal Instruments". I really liked the scene between Clary and Jace. So, I thought I would rewrite that moment and then build upon the moment and its sad downfall. I do not own "The Mortal Instruments". Nor do I own the characters in "The Mortal Instruments". I hope you guys like it!
Today is my birthday and Jace had brought me to a magnificent domed-roof top garden, it was just me and him. The sight was breath taking. Vines were everywhere I turned, exotic flowers scattered the place in colors of blues, pinks, red, purples and every beautiful color imaginable. The flower buds were shut tightly so, sadly, I could not bask in their beautiful glory.
As I come back down to earth, I notice that Jace had disappeared. I turn around to call out his name "Ja...", but, before I could finish calling his name he appears behind me with what looks like a piece of fruit split in half and sticks a tall pink candle in the middle of it. The candle suddenly ignites. I look up at Jace grinning from ear to ear and then he. I love seeing him smile like this, his smile spreads warmth all throughout my body. "Sorry there's no cake" He says almost like he means it. In a lighter tone I tell him, "I was expecting nothing, so, this is great."
As we started to maneuver up an iron spiral staircase he tells me "Well, everyone should get something for their birthday"
"Hmm, what did you get?"
Just before he answered we got to the top of the stairs and he replies jokingly "Weapons mostly, but I'm sure that doesn't surprise you."
"At this point nothing does"
He laughs and then a serious look spreads across his face. His ice blue eyes fell, looking at the stairs under us. Finally he spoke.
"I was nine, my father gave me a falcon. Told me to make it obedient. I was supposed to keep the bird blind, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Still I touched and stroked its wings until it trusted me. I tempered it to perfection. I took it to my father expecting him to be proud of what I'd done. He said "I told you to make it obedient, instead you taught it to love you. You didn't tame it, you broke it." "He kept staring at the stairs and continued." He took the bird and broke its neck. I cried all night and I never cried again."
I didn't know how to respond so I asked him "Did you ever forgive him?"
"He did it to make me stronger" He said with a strong yet sad voice.
It became quiet between the two of us, I eventually broke his gaze. I looked at his hands and I saw a ring with a "W" on his finger. To break the ice I asked him "Does that stand for Wayland?" He shook his head yes. Suddenly, the clock chimed.
"Midnight" He said
He then stood me up and said "Watch this". In that very moment every flower in the green house then began to open and light up. It was the most breath taking thing I have ever seen (Other than Jace himself.). Colors were everywhere. They lit up the entire green house. I was in complete awe. I noticed while this whole thing was happening, Jace had my hands in his. In my peripheral vision I saw Jace turn his head toward me and I felt him smile. I turned my head and smiled. He brings up his hand and opens it. In the middle of his palm was a glowing rock with some kind of rune on it. Jokingly I tell him. "When a girl tells you she wants a big rock, she doesn't literally mean a big rock. Then he looks at me smiling and tells me as I am taking the rock out of his hand he says, "Every shadow hunter should have their own witch light"
