The dagger was getting closer to Clary.
TWANG! Clary's eyes opened slowly. She could see the dagger was pinning the material of her top to the door. Jace rushed over to her and pulled the dagger out and thrust it away. Clary fell into his arms.
"Clary, are you ok?" said Jace concerned. "I'm fine, she missed me. What happened?" said Clary shaken. "She just threw the knife and ran. I'm not sure why." replied Jace frowning. "What's going on here?" asked Mark walking in the door.
"Jenna chucked a knife at Clary!" said Jace angrily. "Where did it hit you, Clary?" asked Mark rushing over. "It didn't hit her. Jenna missed but only just." said Jace. Mark frowned. "Jenna doesn't miss." he said quietly. "Well, I'm glad she did this time!" said Jace angrily.
"No, you're not listening!" replied Mark frustrated "If Jenna had wanted to hit her, she would have. Jenna must have been aiming to miss!" Jace frowned. "Why would she do that?" he said. "If it's Jenna, probably to make a point." said Mark thoughtfully. Jace sighed. "I've been an idiot."
Jace got up. "Mark get Izzy and Simon. Look after Clary." he called as he ran out of the room.
The cold night air stung Jace's throat as he ran down the street. He skidded round the corner into the cemetery. He walked silently along the path to the furthest edge of the graveyard. He saw a figure sitting on the ground in front of a stone.
"Only you would throw a knife at my girlfriend to prove a point." said Jace. He sat down next to the figure. "You're the only person I know who can come to visit their own grave, Jenna." Jenna smiled sadly.
They had decided it would look strange to remove the memorial stone they had made for Jenna. Even though they now all knew she was alive, they couldn't tell the groundkeeper that they were removing the stone because the person they thought was dead had come back from the grave.
"I'm sorry for being a jerk, Jenna." said Jace. "I guess you talked to Mark." said Jenna "He always knows when I'm doing something to make a point." Jace smiled. "I guess the point you were making was that if Clary got hurt it would affect me. Therefore, if I got hurt fighting a greater demon it would affect other people the same way." he said. Jenna raised her eyebrows. "Wow, you just worked out something on your own. Since when have you been smart?" she said. Jace pulled a face at her.
"Have you decided yet? About your family?" asked Jace quietly. "Tessa and Jem have always been my mum and dad and everyone here has been like brothers and sisters. Why do I need another family when I've found one that I love?" said Jenna quietly. Jace smiled. "Well I have always seen you as an annoying little sister!" he admitted. Jenna hit his arm. Jace grinned. "Are you coming home?" asked Jace. "They all hate me now." said Jenna quietly. "Everyone hates me and I'm going back. Come on!" said Jace pulling her up. Jenna rolled her eyes. "Fine" she said.
Jenna hopped onto Jace's back and he began to walk back towards the institute.
