Jem Carstairs felt the crippling pain run through his body, the venom.
Damn he though as he limped to his room on the far side of the Institute, luckily he had his cane with him aiding his journey to the box of powder.
"How long can I keep this up?" he thought inching to his room and his last lifeline.
The Demon Powder stopped the pain of the venom, made him feel better, if only for a second. He knew the powder itself was killing him as well, but he figured it was better to die slowly with some hope, then have the painful venom consuming him completely. He still knew it was only a matter of time before the day came.
He slumped into his room and scrambled over to the ornate wooden box
He takes the venom.
"Will I have to fight today? Should I take more?" he said silently to himself.
He didn't know the answer but took more anyway.
He feels something… sorrow?…pain?... death creeping up on him?…
Whatever it was, he felt weak…
"Maybe I should stop." He thought the feeling taking over.
"No!"
He couldn't let go…
Not with Will and Charlotte there for him….
Not with Henry probably still looking for a cure…
Hell, not even with Jessie still around…
and especially not in front of Tessa
Even with his new found strength he had visions of the demon attack again.
The slow painful torture.
Again the spasms of pain crippled him.
He rolled up in a ball, the throes of the Demon to much for him.
He was slowly going insane
He couldn't take it.
He let out a single scream.
A primal cry he didn't know Shadowhunters possessed.
Everything went black.
When he awoke he saw Charlotte standing over him, stele in hand a drawing a perfect iraze on his chest and Will to his over side looking uncharacteristically concerned.
Tessa walked in. "Are you okay? You looked horrible"
"Nice way to make him feel better." Will said, his gaze moving briefly to the maybe-warlock.
"I'm Fine." Jem said, sitting up.
"Are you sure?" Tessa asked walking closer
This was worth it.
