A Weird Love Story: Chapter 2
We do not own any of the characters or The Mortal Instruments series that honor goes to Cassandra Clare, we only own the plot of this story.
Jace's POV:
Clary took my arm and I led her out the door. I hopped on my motorcycle and took her hand, helping her climb on. She wrapped her arms around my waist and rest her head between my shoulder blades as I put the key into the ignition. The engine roared and the bike vibrated. We skidded away and to a restaurant called Ovrë Bèllonà. It was one Clary went to on her birthday with her mom and Simon.
"Jace!" She said, sounding surprised.
I quickly kissed her cheek and she grinned.
"Clarissa." I said, offering her my arm.
"Yes, Jonathan Christopher." She replied while lightly wrapping her arms around my elbow.
"May we go in?" I asked.
"We may." She answered.
I laughed at how formal we sounded, and Clary snickered a bit too. We were seated at her favorite table.
"Jace, you actually payed attention to my story?" She asked.
I nodded and reached for her hand to hold across the table.
"You look beautiful. Did I mention that?" I told her.
"Yes. And thank you. You don't look too bad yourself." She said.
"Well as much as I would like to talk about how handsome I am, I am in desperate need of a toilet so please excuse me will you?" I stood up to use the restroom.
I put my cloth napkin on the table and slid out of the booth we were sitting in. Clary smiled at me and I smiled back as I walked away to the bathroom. After I found it, I noticed there was one other person in there. I used the bathroom and went to wash my hands, when I felt a pair of eyes watching me.
"Can I help you?" I asked him.
I turned and he flashed his teeth. They were pointed. I noticed his hands ended in silver claws, and his blue hair was spiked. It was a demon. A demon I've killed before, but a demon nonetheless. This particular demon I killed with Isabelle and Alec, at the Pandemonium. The first time I saw Clary. It was her birthday. I grabbed my knife attached to the side of my sports jacket. I took a stab but he dodged and swung at me, claws raking my hand. A burning pain shot through my veins, but I kept fighting. I cornered him. I stabbed him in his chest and black blood spewed from the wound. His arms and legs crumbled to ash and eventually the rest or his body. I put my knife back in my sport coat and grabbed my stele. I drew a quick iratze on the back of my hand, and headed back out to meet Clary.
Clary's POV:
"Jace." I breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been in the bathroom for 20 minutes. He took my hand and I noticed black scrapes on the back of it.
"What are those?" I asked him.
"I ran into the Pandemonium Demon. It's okay I drew an iratze on it." He said in a rush.
I was still worried though.
Throughout dinner, Jace acted stranger and stranger. He looked almost dizzy. By then end of dinner his words were slurring together and he was leaning heavily on the table. He paid the check and we stood up to leave. Jace's legs were shaking badly. I helped him stand up, and I called Izzy.
"Come pick us up, outside Ovrë Bèllonà." I told her.
I put a special rune on Jace's motorcycle, so I could move it simply by asking it to move. The van pulled up and I moved Jace's motorcycle into the trunk and helped Jace into the backseat. I sat shotgun as Izzy sped back to the institute. I put the same rune on Jace and moved him to the infirmary. I put a sleeping rune on him, and he fell unconscious. I stayed next to him all night. But I must have fallen asleep at one point, because I woke up and Izzy was beside me. But Jace wasn't there.
"Izzy, where's Jace?" I asked her, I could hear the panic creeping into my voice.
"I would have woken you up to tell you, but I thought it would be better to wait until morning. I'm really sorry Clary, but Jace didn't make it." She told me.
Tears welled up in the back of my eyes and I was overwhelmed with fear, panic, and anger. When the first tear escaped and rolled down my face, Izzy said,
"Just kidding he was moved to his own room."
She started to laugh and my eyes spilled extra tears. I punched her shoulder.
"Never do that again!" I said through gritted teeth as I got up to go see Jace.
