Thanks to everyone who followed, favourited and reviewed my story. It means a lot to me that people actually enjoy my writing. Since it is a no bus day today (yes in April, apparently Canada is trying to have a long winter) I decided to write this chapter. It was hard to write this chapter and I hope you guys like it. So enough blabbering from me, here is chapter 3.

Jace's Pov.
It's been three hours since they got home from Taki's and Clary still hasn't woken. Jace was pacing out front of her bedroom door waiting for the silent brothers to give him word. And with each passing minute he was becoming more and more anxious.
Once again Jace thought back to what happened in the supernatural diner. Everything was going fine until Kaelie made a remark about her and Jace, he felt Clary go bone still beside her and he knew she wasn't going to take this lightly. But no matter what, he couldn't bring himself to look at Clary. Jace had never been proud with what his dating life was like before Clary. He knew that Clary was still nervous about him pressuring her into something she wasn't ready for. But he would never do that; he wasn't that kind of guy, at least not to Clary.
Jace never pictured Clary as the jealous type; until today. He watched her punch Kaelie and knock her down, but for some reason he couldn't move. He was frozen to the spot. It wasn't until Alec finally pulled Clary off and he saw the damage on Kaelies face and torso that he finally "woke up".
He was just about to go pull Clary into a hug and whisper sweet nothings into her ear when a very muscular character came up behind Clary. She was wacked in the head and fell to the ground. Jace raced over to kneel over Clary. He then looked up and saw a very familiar face; Raphael Santiago. He hit her with the staff of his cane and raced off. Jace wouldn't leave Clary, so he got away.
Jace was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of someone coming down the hall. He looked over to see Alec. He was still dressed in what he was wearing at Takis and Jace could see the blood stain on his jacket sleeve.
"How is she?" Alec asked while nodding in the direction of Clary's door.
"I'm not sure, the silent brothers haven't come out for almost 2 hours now, and they won't let me in to see her." Jace shuddered at the thought of the silent brothers leaning over Clary while she is asleep.
Alec looked intently at Jace before replying, "maybe you should get something to eat. We didn't get to eat at Taki's and it looks like you need to clear your head." When Jace wouldn't move, Alec sighed and dragged him to the kitchen. Jace tried to pull away but Alec's grip on his wrist held true. Jace went into the kitchen and opened the fridge. He took out an apple and then made himself a PB&J sandwich before sitting down at the table. Alec sat across from him and Izzy beside him, both with looks of concern on their faces.
"Don't stare at me like im some sort of lost puppy, I'm not the one who won't wake up," Jace spat at them, and then regretted it when he saw Izzy flinch.
"There's no need to snap at us Jace, we're just concerned about you." Izzy replied and then bit into an orange slice. "We know you care about Clary and this must be hard for you,"
"It was just a hit to the head, she will wake up eventually," Will she? Said a voice in the back of Jace's head. He quickly dismissed it. Jace looked up to see Alec and Izzy exchanging worried glances. "What is it?" Jace questioned, "You know I hate it when you guys do that."
"Jace," Alec began, "the thing that Raphael hit Clary with, wasn't just any regular staff. It's a new device the vampires have been working on, when hit by it, and it works properly, it can cause serious damage."
Jace gripped his apple more tightly, causing it to bruise and said slowly, "What kind of damage?"
Izzy replied with her head down, "Well the éliminer- that's what the device is called- if used properly can cause the victim to be knocked out for a matter of days, problems with the brain, such as memory loss and in extreme cases, death."
Jace, sat frozen once again, Clary can't die. He would be lost without his little redhead in his life. He always assumed that he would die while fighting beside Alec. And he knew that would leave Clary crushed, but he figures that she could eventually find someone else. But for Jace, there is and never will be anyone else. Only Clary. He looked up to see the silent brothers standing behind Alec and Izzy who turned around after seeing Jace's face.
We have some news about Clary. One of them said. Jace, Alec and Izzy all rose from their seats in anticipation. Clary is awake and talking, although she is a little woozy and remembers little about the past day. Jace released a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding and asked, "Can I see her?"
Actually, she requested to see someone else instead.
"Who?" Izzy asked looking rather antsy. She looked quite tired and stressed, as she had looked over the last few hours; everyone did.
Alec.
So I hoped you guys liked chapter 3, I know it wasn't very long but I needed this chapter to lead into the next one. I hope you guys review! Thanks
