Jace:
When the Ravener vanished I saw Clary clutching her shoulder. She screamed in pain. I grabbed her by the waist, her face twisted in pain, a cold sweat was dripping down her face.
"Where did it hit you?"
"My shoulder!" She groaned. I pulled her shirt down to get a look at the sting. As soon as I did her face paled and she screamed. Her body slumped into mine. I slid carefully with her to the ground. Worry shot through me, the last time a ravener stung her it took hours before it had an effect. It was instant the way the venom took over her. I pulled out my stele and carefully drew an iratze next to the sting but it didn't fade like it normally did. Clary's eyes were becoming unfocused, her body was trembling. Alec and Isabelle came running.
"Clary! Come on stay awake!" I shook her gently hoping she would snap out of it. Alec knelt down next to me and looked at her shoulder.
"We have to get her back to the institute and get Magnus, the iratze isn't working." He was frantic. Clary's eyes fluttered shut and her breathing became labored. He helped get her into my arms and we started for the institute. We were lucky we didn't have far to go, Izzy split from us to get Magnus. Alec opened the doors and helped me get her inside. She was gasping for air and it scared the shit out of me. We headed up the stairs and then Clary stopped breathing. I put her down and Alec listened for her heart. He started CPR, he pressed on her chest and I breathed for her. It seemed like hours until Izzy arrived with Magnus. He shoved Alec out of the way and ran his hand above Clary. He then put his hand over heart, blue sparks came from his fingers and Clary's body jerked. I put my fingers on her neck, her pulse fluttered against my hand, a small wave of relief washed over me.. Clary coughed and began breathing again. Magnus then looked at the sting on her shoulder. It had gotten so much worse. It was bright red and oozing green liquid.
"This is no ordinary Ravener venom," He said grimly. "It's been mutated somehow. I don't know if she can be saved. We need the silent brothers, there is nothing more I can do except keep her alive until they get here." Izzy ran off again to call for the silent brothers. Magnus picked her up and we got her into the infirmary. Clary was having really hard time breathing and began gasping again. I paced alongside her bed as Alex and Magnus watched her.
"I have never seen a reaction like this, there has to be a lot in her system." Magnus said looking frustrated with himself. Izzy stormed into the infirmary.
"The silent brothers should be here any second." Her eyes burned into me. "What the hell happened?" She hissed.
"The stinger got her as the thing died." I said lost in my own mind. Isabelle grabbed me by the shoulder. She looked at me then handed me a small piece of paper.
"I found this while you and Clary were fighting." I looked at the paper and my heart dropped.
Have fun with my newest creation! –J
Magnus took the paper from me. He sighed angrily. Alec then grabbed the paper and read it, the whole room was silent but tension filled the air.
"It was a last ditch effort for the ravener, it must have released almost all of its venom." Magnus said as he paced as well on the other side of Clary's bed. The doors to the infirmary opened and Brother Zachariah came in followed by two other brothers. Clary then stopped breathing again. Magnus and the brothers rushed to her side. Magnus placed his hand on her chest again and she jerked. Magnus felt for a pulse.
"Damn it!" Magnus hissed. It couldn't be a good sign. She was going to die. The silent brothers began examining Clary. I finally lost it, my careful calm was broken. I snapped and rushed to Clary's bedside. A silent brother shoved me out of the way. I tried to get to her but Alec held me back.
"Let go!" I loved Alec but Clary was the love of my life and I wasn't going to let her slip away from me. Alec struggled to hold me back. One of the silent brothers gestured to Magnus. He left her bedside and grabbed me by one arm and Alec grabbed my other arm. I pulled trying to get to her. They were dragging me away from the infirmary. I thrashed like a wild animal.
"Calm down Jace!" Alec whispered in my ear.
"Let go, she's dying! I can't leave her. Let me go! Please! Clary!" I pulled my arm free from Alec and elbowed him in the stomach. I got away for moment until Alec grabbed me around the chest. I felt a hand on my neck. I knew enough about fighting to know that Magnus had his hand on a pressure point. I didn't care my urge to get to Clary got the best of me, then everything spun and I fell to the floor, the infirmary doors closed and I passed out.
