Hey guys! So I'm going to start writing the next chapter but seeing as I'm away I don't know how much I'll get done. It's been killing me to not keep writing I keep getting news ideas and I have to remember them because I can't just sit down and write. So for the moment I'm taking as much time as I can to write at least something. Anyway, this next chapter might be a bit boring because there was so much drama in the last couple of chapters but it will have fluff. I don't know about you but I love Clary and Jace's relationship.
'I.. Love.. You.. To.. Clary.. Fray.' He said between kisses. Clary pulled Jace down beside him and for the first time in a long time they both fell asleep right away, content in each other's arms.
The danger for now gone.
Clary woke up and smiled. Clary looked down at the two warm arms wrapped around her waist. She carefully pulled her phone out of her pocket and looked at the time. 5:13 am. Clary groaned inwardly, why? Why was she up so early? She stilled as Jace tightened his arms around her waist. She held her breath for a moment hoping she didn't wake him up. She listened to his breathing deep and even. He snored slightly in her ear. She snuggled closer to him before falling asleep again.
Clary ran through the forest as fast as she could. Sweat dripped down her back as she weaved through trees. Behind her she could hear Jonathan laughing as he strode towards her catching up with her without even breaking a sweat. She whirled around as he grabbed her arm pulling her towards his chest. He was holding a wickedly long knife that had serrated edges. Clary screamed as he slowly pushed his knife into her stomach. He laughed as she screamed in a failed attempt to get away. He slowly pulled the knife back out and let go of Clary as she fell to the ground. Clary lay on the ground gasping , she cupped her hand over her wound as Jonathan looked down at her. He drew his foot back and kicked her in the stomach repeatedly. Clary cried out in pain sobbing for him to stop. She could feel the bruises forming as Jonathan knelt down beside her. He looked at the knife now covered in her blood.
'thanks to that little stunt your friends pulled earlier, when I do get you and I will, you'll wish you were dead.' He said as he plunged the knife into her chest.
Clary woke up gasping, she sat up clutching her chest. She was sticky with sweat.
Jace sat up beside her 'Clary, what's wrong?'
Clary looked over at him 'It's nothing, just a bad dream.'
'Was it about Jonathan?' Jace whispered looking at her scared expression. She looked up at his eyes, then looked down at her hands. Jace gathered her gently into his arms, wrapping his arms around her stomach. Clary stifled a cry of pain. Jace looked at Clary as she pulled up her shirt. She gasped looking down at huge dark bruises that covered her stomach.
'Clary, what happened? The iratze should have healed that.'
Clary looked up at Jace her hand on her stomach. 'That's not possible. It can't be.'
'Clary what are you talking about? Who did this to you?'
'Jonathan'
Jace's face filled with rage 'How? I was with you all night, unless. No, that's not possible. Clary you have to tell me what happened in your dream.'
Clary recounted her dream to him as his face filled with horror.
'Ugh!' Jace screamed 'One night! He can't leave you alone for one night!'
'Clary this is bigger than we thought, if Jonathan can reach you in your dreams then you're not safe. Come on we have to go see Magnus. Let's get Simon and Isabelle.' Jace lead her out of their tent and towards Simons tent.
Isabelle was shaking with rage when Clary and Jace had finished their story. She had just woken up from the knock out gas when they asked them to come outside.
How could Sebastian even dare to come back? After what he did to Clary, and Jace? Her throat tightened. And Max.
'We have to take Clary to Magnus, he'll know what to do.'
Simon looked up from beside Isabelle, he had his hand clamped around hers and the cool feeling of his skin was comforting to her. 'Okay but it's going to take a little while to get there, I mean Eric's van can only go so fast.'
Jace looked down at Clary who was silent after telling her story. Isabelle would be to if she had gone through what Clary did, and only in one night.
Truthfully Clary's mind was in full shut down mode. She couldn't get her dream out of her head and better yet she couldn't get the kiss out of her head. Not with Jace, when they kissed everything seemed to fall into place, no Jonathans. It was vile and wrong he had ripped the pleasure, and safeness of a kiss from her. She felt violated and dirty. It was so wrong but what chilled Clary to the bone was knowing that if Jonathan did get her, a kiss wouldn't be the worst thing he would do.
Jace started to speak, looking back at Simon and Isabelle 'No Clary and I are going to portal to Magnus , you guys will take the van back.'
'Are you okay to make one?' Clary looked up at Jace as if she was surprised that he was talking to her
'Oh yeah I'm fine.'
'Alright are we ready to go then?' he asked Clary as Simon and Isabelle turned back to their tent, no doubt to pack.
Clary nodded looking up at Jace with sorrow filled eyes.
'Oh Clary' Jace gently cupped her face with his hands tilting her head down so he could kiss the top of her head. He pulled her into a tight him, she held onto him as if he was her lifeline. Sighing Clary let go of Jace and walked over to a tree, she then drew a portal rune on the tree watching as the air around it began to shimmer.
She turned to look at Jace 'Should we call them?'
Jace grabbed her hand 'Don't worry, their already waiting for us.'
Together they stepped through the portal leaving Simon and Isabelle to pack up the rest of the stuff.
Clary felt her foot connect with the soft plushy carpet of Magnus Banes apartment. She closed her eyes for a moment letting the wave of dizziness that came with portaling pass. She opened her eyes and looked at a very serious Alec and a very sparkly Magnus.
Magnus got up from the couch 'Clary, Jace. To what do I owe the pleasure?'
Jace looked from Alec to Clary before resting his eyes on Magnus
'We need your help.'
Another cliffhanger, well kind of I guess. I try not to end each chapter on a cliff hanger but apparently it doesn't work that way. I'm so sorry it's been so long since I updated but I went away for the week, so I know that this chapter is shorter but I figured you would want something soon instead of nothing :P anyway what do you think? Should Jonathan manage to get Clary? Let me know what you think of the chapter or the whole story, let me know what you think should happen in the next couple of chapters. Thanks for reading!
