Disclaimer: I own none of these characters. I can only appreciate the opportunity to barrow the world & people who live in it in hopes of practicing my writing skills. I have notes where chapter will eventually be as each section is expanded. But the bones are here for now. This is my first. Please provide all kinds of feedback - on product; technical (I'm not familiar with this process); etc...
Not sure if I'm doing this right. this is still a draft.
Chapter 1
Clary watches as the demons approach from all sides. There is no way the group can escape; they were in open ground. Alec, Isabelle and Jace all are occupied with their individual fights and as always doing well, but
With no time to rethink her morbid decision, she runs forward drawing all the demons attenton. Opens the portal...more detail.
Jace watches and she knows when he realizes her plan. His beautiful face contorts to horrified, then a kind of desperate fear as he breaks into a run towards Clary. Even with his talents he knows he won't make it in time.
The demons tail slashes Clary nearly in half. Jace grabs her hand just as she is falling into the portal. It closes with all the demons on the other side. They were safe. Clary had done it. Jace is frantically trying to heal her. Clary is crying and babbling; "I'm sorry. I don't want to leave. Please. I don't want to leave.". She arches her chest off the ground as intense pain rips through here slight frame.
Jace has lost all composure, "Clary, stay. It's not working. It's not working! Please. Hold on." his face is so close their noses almost touch. His eyes begin to water as he watches the color draining from her face as her blood drains from her body; pooling on the floor. He puts one hand on her wound and the other on her cheek w/ his fingers in her hair.
She puts her hand on his cheek, "I want to stay. With you. Jace. I love you". She is looking into his eyes. He watches them fade so fast as her hand slowly falls away and he head and shoulders fall limp in his arms.
"Clary. Clary? No. No. Clary, I love you. Clary.". Rivulets of tears run down his face as he realizes he'd said it too late. She was gone and she didn't know. He'd never be able to tell her how much he loved her. His world shattered on that moment. he starts shaking her, lightly, "Clary?" then with more force; "Clary..CLARY..CLARY!" He chants her name over and over as he brings her into a tight embrace burying his face in her hair. He gently rocks back & forth, stroking her red hair. "Clary...im sorry. I'm sorry".
Isabelle and Alec look on in horror. Clary had saved their lives. She used her unique talent knowing she would die. They can only watch as Jace, the one who is always composed completely (looses it) for the tiny girl lifeless in his arms.
I finally getting around to breaking these Chptrs up. Then i plan to go back and flesh them out some more. Hang with me, people. I have big plans for this story arc. Please leave me your feedback. I'm greedy. I need it.
