Chapter 2 – Bring me to life

(A\N- Thanks, guys for all the reviews you totally made my day. Also, thanks to Serenity Shadowstar for the amazing song suggestion- I love EV but sadly never thought of using this song. Thank you!!!!)

Looking down at the picture she had drawn of Jace, she realized that she needed him. Clary desperately needed Jace to live, to breathe. It was like he had taken over her every thought completely when he both lived and died.

How can you see into my eyes, like open doors? Leading you down into my core, where I've become so numb. Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold. Until you find it there and lead it back home.

She had drawn him better than she thought she would have. The picture of Jace looked so real it made her want to cry out- he was standing in the middle of a battlefield, wearing only black pants and his beautifully sarcastic smile. His black wings expanded out from him as if he truly were an angelic god. Too bad he wasn't real. But he would soon be if she had anything to say about it.

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside (I can't wake up) Wake me up inside. (Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark. (Wake me up) Bit my blood to run (I can't wake up) before I come undone (Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become.

Clary was nothing without Jace. He was her other half, her- her soulmate. No one else would be as perfect as him for her, not ever. No matter where she was, no matter who she was with she would never forget Jace or that she loved him. God, she loved him with every single cell in her body, and she knew that no one else had ever loved anyone as much as she loved Jace.

Now that I know what I'm without, you can't just leave me. Breathe into me and make me real. Bring me to life.

Since Jace had died, Clary felt… dead. Dead without Jace, without a purpose in life. For a week, Clary had not really done anything but mourn. Now that there was a possibility her purpose could come back, she was filled with… not exactly hope, but more of the ability to hope that everything would be okay.

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside (I can't wake up) Wake me up inside (Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark (Wake me up) Bit my blood to run (I can't wake up) before I come undone (Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become. Bring me to life (I've been living a lie. There's nothing inside) Bring me to life

Suddenly, Clary felt nervous. What if she couldn't do it? What would she do then? Killing herself would have been an option, if not for all the people she'd hurt. Luke, Mom, Simon, Alec, Isabelle… They would all be hurt. Especially after they lost Jace so recently.

Frozen inside without your touch, without your love darling. Only you are the life among the dead. All this time I can't believe I couldn't see kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me. I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems. Got to open my eyes to everything. Without thought, without voice, without a soul (Don't let me die here. There must be something wrong) Bring me to life.

Clary looked at her sketchbook one more time. Thoughtfully, she drew the runes that would- hopefully- make him come back to her.

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside. (I can't wake up) Wake me up inside (Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark (Wake me up) Bit my blood to run (I can't wake up) before I come undone (Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become Bring me to life (I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside) Bring me to life

She stroked the picture like she had with the mortal cup, shut her eyes, held her breath, and waited for something to happen.

Yes, that is where I'm leaving off. Aren't I evil?? Muah-hah-hah!! Anyway, I would like some suggestions for the next chapter (just songs please). Although I still don't know if I'm gonna have Jace come back or not…
