dream:
i was running down a hallway in my moms apartment. it seamed to never end. i was running from a ravener demon. i was unarmed and caught off guard. i was running and my legs burned. then all of a sudden a door way opened to my left. i turned in and slamed the door. the room was not a room at all but a different place in total. i was out side the new york institute. i went up the front steps and knocked. the door creaked open. i took a step inside and went to the dinning room where i found max sitting in a chair staring at the wall. i walked to him and peered in front of him. he had blood dripping down this forehead and a black eye.
"max?" i asked. he moved his hand on the table. it was curled around something.
"max? can i see that?" he opened his hand. in his tiny palm sat jaces toy soldier. i gasped. he looked at me fear clear in his eyes. "izzy tried," he started."sab had white blonde hair but sabaston hit her. she went to sleep. sab wasnt sab, next he hit me. everything was fuzzy then everythin went black. later i woke up, everything was golden and was beautiful. i'm happy now, every thing is peaceful," he smiled."but i came here to warn you, sabaston hasnt given up. nor will he. the only way to stop him is for you to kill him. it must be YOU clairy. you only. he will be in disguise but remember this, 'only in reflection may true colors be revealed.' that will be your key to finding him. you may as well warn the others but you have untill midnight in three days before he will activate his plan. he wants revenge. he olny has one hand therefor will have help. the one who helps will be someone once known but also not. kill Johnathan and you kill the curse." max finally finished.
"max? what are you talking about? what curse?" i asked panicked. he was fading, quickly becoming transparent. before he was gone he put a hand on my face and smiled "free me clairy! free me and all the other souls he's killed! tell every one i love them, and i love you too clairy." he said and then was gone. my cheeks where now wet from my tears and a tiny cold spot where his hand had just been. every thing blurred white.
end of dream:
i woke up panting and sweating in my bed at the institute. i had just seen Max. he told me Johnathan was coming back. by the angel i thought i gotta tell Jace. i rolled out of bed, put on some shoes and a bathrobe and ran down three doors to Jace's room. i softly knocked and waited. nothing i knocked again more harshly.nothing. i now was pounding on the door. "Jace! Jace open up! JACE!" i yelled. he swung the door open and glared at me. "you better have a good reson e for waking me up at two in the mor-" Jace stopped and his face softened when he saw my tear soaked face. Clairy whats wrong?" i just stood there looking down."Clairy?" he said more concerned. suddenly with out my permission my body jumped on him and started kissing him firmly. he stiffened for a second before wrapping his arms around my waist and carrying my to the bed. he sat down and put me in his lap, i berried my head in his chest. i had started to sob uncontrollably.
jace hushed me and rubbed small circles in my back. soon my sobs has creased and i was on the edge of falling asleep agean. "clairy can you tell me whats wrong?" i knodded and told him every detail about the dream. when i had finished he was staring at me in shock. "he said he loved you."i finished with. jace blinked. " i wont let you. not alone. Clairy by the angel, you do'nt even have that much training! how in the hell do you expect to take sebastian out?"
"jace calm down. please." i said looking him dead in the eyes.
he just stared. "we should go see Magnus. he would probably know what to do." i nodded at his idea.
"fine we'll go in the morning."
"it is morning."
" i meant when the sun is up."
" Clairy please if its only three days then we have to. we cant waist a minent!"
i sighed and stood up. not wanting to go get my own coat i grabed one of jaces leather coats. i slipped it on and looked at him he smiled a full grin showing his one chipped tooth. he got up and got dressed. he put on jeans and a grey t-shirt with another leather jacket. he pulled on his shoes and opened the door for me. we went to the elevator when he pushed the button. as we waited church came up to us with Izzy following soon behind.
"hey where you going?" she said rubbing her eyes.
"to see Magnus." i said with out thinking. she was instantly alert.
"why?" she asked.
"bad dream and i need to tell Magnus." i said.
"hold on, let me go get dressed come with me please."
i slipped out from Jace's arms and followed Izzy to her room. she closed the door behind us and looked at me. "whats up, why you going to see Magnus?" she asked
i summed the dream up. " i had a dream about Max and Jace thinks he visited me in my dreams but the only way to be sure is to go see Magnus." Izzy stiffened and with out a word traded her pink silk pajamas for a tank top, skinny jeans, high heeled buckle boots and a black fuzzy trench coat. "come on."
we left the institute after leaving a note in the kitchen. we caught the train to Brooklyn and got off at our stop. we walked to Magnus's and Jace jammed his thumb on the buzzer. he hit it about maybe 10 more times before there was an answer
"WHO DARES DISTURB THE SLUMBER OF MAGNUS BANE?!" i rolled my eyes
"it's Clairy,Jace and Izzy," i said."we need to talk to you."
there was silence. then the door clicked unlocked. Jace opened it and entered as Izzy and i followed. we went to Magus's apartment and knocked. he opened the door in boxers and a silk robe and in we stepped. he looked at us. there was glitter covering every inch of flooring and red plastic party cups spread around. "good party?" i asked. he nodded. i noticed chairman meow lying on his back on the kitchen counter was coated in glitter himself. if it where a different reason for us being here i would have laughed.
"Magnus, we think Max visited me in my dreams." i said and watched his face change to a sadness mixed with worry and surprise. he gestured for us to sit on the couch and we did so. he sat across from us and started to speak.
