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 3
For 3 days she screamed. Bloodcurdling screams as her body was inundated w/ all manners of pain and torture. Jace never left her side. He held her hand and stroked her hair and continued an endless litany of prayer for her to forgive him and to open her eyes.
On the fourth day Jace was feeling overly defeated...details. She squeezed his hand, "Jace.". He wasn't sure he'd just dreamed her saying his name. It was faint and raspy, but it was her voice. "Jace". He didn't waste any time. He was instantly nose to nose. He could hear her labored breathing and his heart broke. He felt the now familiar sting in his eyes. "Clary. Love.". She didn't move. Her death grip on his hand didn't waver. She didn't open her eyes. "I hear you. Jace" a spasm of pain ripped through. Her voice was ever so much more faint now, and he could see her tears start again as more pain built inside her, "don't let go." He leaned down to her ear for only her to hear, "never.". He saw the smile touch just the edge of her lips. then more pain and more blackness. Jace laid his head by hers and started telling her all the places they would go. That he knew places she would want to paint. He was renewed w/ his efforts to tell her about the teams prior escapades. And more and more often he would see her responding. Little things, like a squeeze, a blink, soon a small grin. She was coming back to him and he would be there when she did.
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.
