Disclaimer: I hold no claim over the Mortal Instruments series or characters. Though this plot is of my own creation.
Four years ago a bunch of 17 year old were drunk and showing off around the fence. One of the bright ones suggested they see who was bravest by climbing the fence and seeing who would go the highest. Even in their drunk state 3 of the five were sensible enough to decline but the one who suggested it and his best mate both tried it. The Boy who suggested it went first. He climbed most of the way up then lost his nerve and had to climb back down. The second boy, in some testosterone and alcohol fuelled rush, Climbed all the way to the top. He stood shakily but then released his hand holds pumping his fist in the air and hollering. In an instant he lost his balance and plunged to his death. The body was never recovered. This case was a rare one in the fact that it was a male who was claimed by the lake. It seems to only ever be females that are drawn into the depths of Lake Lynn.
The surrounding flora seems to be thinning out and the path changing texture so I know that I am getting close. I reach the fence that surrounds the lake. The fence isn't too high, but it does reach over my head, but its high enough that if you fall from it you are likely to severely break something.
I start climbing the fence, forcing the toe of my shoe through the holes in the wire making sure I have solid foot holds as I go. I know how selfish this act is. But who am I really leaving behind.
My mother who barely has time for me?
My best friend Simon? Possibly,
Or Luke who has been my father figure since I can remember?
My mother might grieve for a while but she'll have Luke to lean on. And Simon, well he'll bounce back like he always does.
I stand just as that 17 year old boy did with only my feet holing me in place my arms flat against my side with fear. My heart hammers against my ribcage and my throat constricts making it hard to breathe. Adrenaline courses through my veins making my muscles feel stronger, ready to act. I try to push the fear down. I know that this will be worth it. I will be free from this mundane life. Free from walking through day to day life lonely and feeling tied down.
"Clary" I hear a voice booming. I have been standing up the top here for too long now. I know what i must do. Before fear or Luke can coax me down from here I must Jump.
My muscles tense, fuelled with adrenaline making them feel stronger than ever, and then release propelling me outwards. And then I fall like an Angel. Cutting through the wind waiting for the force of impact to knock the wind from me and then for the icy waters to claim my body.
If that impact came, I never felt it.

This story was just an annoying idea I had getting ready for school one morning and the idea wouldn't leave me alone so I had to put my fingers to the keys. This chapter is just a trial to see if enough people are interested. if I get enough response I will continue with it.
I really would like to know what you guys thought of it so please review
And Merry Christmas
