JPOV:
Izzy and I just sat there crying while Luke stormed out of the manor when he first saw Clary. Alec was the only brave soul to go and look at her body. As he was slowly creeping towards her I notice that her fingers slightly twitched. At first I thought my imagination was willing her to be alive but then Izzy stiffened as she saw it too. I brushed off Iz and ran to Clary, as I collapsed by her little petite body she opened her eyes and softly like an angel whispered my name. "Jace."
CPOV:
All I felt was pain. Pain throbbing up and down my whole body, then I thought I was blind because all I saw was blackness. I could hear and I seemed to be paralyzed because I heard Jace's wailing and I so badly wanted to go and comfort him. I was desperately trying to scream "I AM ALIVE! I am right here Jace its ok." But not so much as a peep would come out. Finally I could feel my muscles thawing out. The constant pain still there but it was not high on my list of priorities right now. I just needed to see my Jaces face. I slowly regained the ability to open my eyes and I awoke to his beautiful perfect face. Still so weak from my battles all I could get out was his name before I passed out again. This time I woke in the infirmary back in New York but it wasn't Jace's face I saw first it was an old friend. Luke. "Luke?" I said raspy, my throat burned when I spoke probably from all the screaming I did back at the manor. "Clary, I have missed you. I thought you were dead. I am so sorry I left you." He was crying now. I hated seeing people cry it made me feel like I did something to make them cry. I slowly and painfully got up and took Luke in a much needed embrace and I just held him because I knew in reality he was apologizing to my mother. I knew he truly loved her more than a friend and I don't know if my mother ever knew that and she never will. "Luke its ok but where is Jace? I need to talk to him." I say desperately. Luke told me he was in the library and so I changed into clean clothes and limped towards the library. As I neared the doors that lead to the library I heard a soft piano playing and I just stood there and smiled. It hurt to smile because of the lashes on my face. I still don't know what Jace sees in me. I am scared head to toe and even more messed up on the inside who would ever want to mess with someone so damaged? I stop my self-pity party quickly because there are things to be done. I enter the library and right where I knew he would be Jace sat on the piano bench playing a melody. "That's beautiful," I choke out. He looks up to me with concern relief and love all in one look. He gets up and runs towards me picking me up tightly and spinning me around. I laugh but it turns into a coughing fit due to my stupid throat. This causes Jace to frown because I know deep down in him he blames himself for this. "I need to tell you something." I say seriously. "Ok but first are you ok?" He asks concerned. I don't know how to respond because physically I guess you could say I was ok. I wasn't going to die or anything but I was pretty messed up. I had new lashes that would make new scars to add to the old ones that lace my damaged body. But if he meant mentally I really don't know what to say , I mean I killed my own father and trapped my brother in a basement with some rune I don't even know what it does, I might even have killed him too. And even though they abused me they were still my family and now I have no family. I have never been so happy and alone at the same time. "Im not sure." Is the answer I chose as appropriate. He just nods because he knew I wasn't going to say I am ok. I tell him everything because I had to get it out. If I kept it in like last time I would explode. He sat there and listened and at times his jaw muscle would pop with anger. I was just robotically stating the facts. I then got to the part where I escaped. I told him how I stole Jonathan's steele and used a rune no one has ever seen before and froze him. I told him we would have to go back and see if he is still there. Then I told him how I killed Valentine. "Well we started fighting and I knew I was in no shape to fight him. So I tried my best but he had me down on the ground and-and he was choking the life out of me." I sobbed "I knew if I didn't do something fast he was going to kill me once and for all so I pulled out Joanthans steele again and I drew a rune on his chest, right where his heart was. And his heart literally fell out but not before he stabbed me again in the other arm" Jace pulled me in tight. "Clary you did what you had to do." He says with empathy dripping from his voice. We stayed that way all night. Holding another and crying. The next morning I woke without Jace's strong arms around my waist. I panicked thinking him rescuing me. I sprang out of bed and raced out of the room and smacked straight into a familiar chest. "Clary are you ok?" Jace looks down at me with those gorgeous golden eyes. He has a strand of hair that has fell into his eyes and I absentmindedly stroked it away. I haven't even noticed that I was crying and that was why Jace was looking at me with such a worried look. "I am ok I just missed you." I say and try my best to smile. My cuts on my face are starting to heal. We walk hand in hand to Takis for breakfast. Jace was worried about us leaving the institute so soon especially with Jonathan still in the unknown. We met Alec and Izzy there and they said they would go check out the manor for Jonathan. Jace and I went back to the institute and hanged out in the greenhouse all day. Kissing and talking about nothing important. That's when he got the text from Alec. "Clary." Jace says with no emotion. I look up into his eyes searching his reaction for an answer but I come back blank. "Jonathan is alive."
A/N: Ok so I finally got internet acess but I think this might be the end of the story! You might just have to come up with your own ending. ;) Please review and let me know what you think! I love you guys!
