Hi! So this is a collection of One-Shots for my story, Heart by Heart. They were originally all in the original story, but it was getting sloppy, so I'm changing that.
Anyway, I hope you like it!
Clary's Supposed Death and Rescue
"Sebastian, please don't do this," Clary pleaded.
Jace struggled against the blinds, but they would not release him.
"This is what happens when you refuse me, Jace," said Sebastian, glancing over at him. "The people you love die." He raised his sword and Jace called out Clary's name.
The sword impaled her chest and she screamed.
Jace wasn't even sure what he was saying at this point. He knew he was yelling, but that was it.
Sebastian yanked the blade out of Clary's chest. She lay there still, unmoving.
Jace had gone quiet, watching her. He hoped against hope that she wasn't dead.
Sebastian chuckled and gave Clay a shove with his foot. She fell off the edge of the cliff.
Jace yelled something, but again he wasn't sure what. Then, everything was nothing. Clary was dead.
Jace was barely aware of an arrow coming and shooting Sebastian through the heart. He fell to the ground- dead. People came around. Someone knelt before Jace and started talking, but he heard nothing. He stared at a point in the distance. He was in shock.
Somebody had undone his binds, but he still didn't move. He couldn't even see whoever was in front of him. All he knew was that Clary was dead.
Rainy heard yelling from the top of the cliff. She knew it was almost time. Rainy looked at her husband, waist deep in the strong water current. It was a good thing he was strong.
She wasn't used to seeing him like this- with brown hair. They'd both been wearing the disguise rune for a year, and she still wasn't used to it.
Rainy saw Clary start to fall from the top of the cliff. "Doug!"
"I know!" he said, putting up his left arm, palm facing up. Rainy saw the air shimmering, and Clary stopped about ten feet above Dug. Rainy let out a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding.
The air stopped its shimmer and Clary fell into Dug's arms. Rainy ran up to her husband's side, using all of her strength to fight the current.
"Doug," said Rainy once she reached him.
"She needs an iratze," he said.
Rainy carefully removed the stele from her belt and drew an iratze on Clary's arm.
The wound on her chest knit shut and Clary coughed, breathing in. "... Where am I?" she asked weakly. "Where's Jace?"
"Clary, honey, we're going to get you out of here," said Rainy, looking down at the tiny, vulnerable girl in Douglas' arms. "You're safe, and so is Jace."
Clary's eyes fluttered shut.
Rainy drew the portal rune on the side of the cliff. It swirled and shifted until it showed their house. At least, it was theirs for now...
Rainy kept her hand on Doug's shoulder as they stepped through.
"Easy there, Jeremy," said Allison. "Make sure you aim for his heart. Wait for my signal."
"I got it, Alli," said Jeremy, concentrating on his bowstring. "Thanks."
Jeremy, Lilly and Allison were hiding behind some rocks, watching the scene from the distance.
Allison prepared for what she was about to see and swallowed.
Jonathan stabbed the sword into Clary's chest and Allison and Jeremy both gasped. She could hear Clary's scream and Jace's yelling from here. Allison waited until Clary was pushed off the cliff- where she knew Rainy and Doug were, ready to catch her. "Now," she said.
Jeremy released the arrow and Allison watched it fly into Jonathan's heart. He was dead.
"I'll meet you back at the house," she said, then took off running toward the scene.
When she finally got there, Allison dropped to the ground next to Jace.
"Hey... Are you alright?" Allison did her best to pretend she didn't know him. She could see- out of the corner of her eye- that more shadowhunters were descending upon the scene. "Can you hear me?" She knew he'd been in shock. He just watched the girl he love die- or so he thought. She undid the blinds that kept him in place. "Excuse me? Are you alright?"
"I've got it from here," said a voice from behind her. It couldn't be... No, it wasn't Isabelle. This woman looked just like her, except had blue eyes. It had to be Maryse.
"Of course," Allison stood up and walked away, fighting the urge to look back at her wounded friend.
If you want some kind of flashback or something, just tell me! I'll see what I can do :)
