2 weeks later…..
It's has been weeks since Jace jumped. He has been on the road to recovery, his new heart is working a charm. I have been sparring with him a little and he is keeping up. Clary has been doing well to she is still recovering from when she was possessed, Jace has been the best boyfriend (except for Magnus.) he has been supporting her and she has been looking after him. The only thing that has been bad is more and more demons have been attaching the building. Jace is doing well in fighting them his new powers are really strong. He can heal small wounds, he can fight so much stronger even when he isn't up to full strength, the only down side is he can't really control it. I think we might have to get out of the building I am not sure though…..
I was standing by the window shooting arrows when Jace walked in. one flew right at him, he smoothly caught it and threw it at the target hitting the centre.
"Hey Alec." Jace said laughing slightly.
"Jace, I am so sorry." I replied trying to stop the smile creeping up my face.
"Relax no harm done." Jace said walking over.
"So what's on your mind?." I asked shooting another arrow hitting centre.
"How could you tell?" Jace replied picking up a knife.
"Please Jace I know you." I said loading up a fresh arrow.
"We need to get out of here." He stated throwing a knife it didn't hit the centre , that's when I knew he was serious something is up. I lowered my bow and turned to face him.
"The demons are coming in to fast." He said looking at me.
"Where will we go?" I asked.
"I know a place , it's up in the mountains. We will be safe there." Jace replied and picked up another knife.
"Okay how will we get there?" I asked a little doubtful.
"We can portal to the base and climb up the rest." Jace replied throwing the knife hitting the centre.
"Let's go tell the others." Jace added and started for the other room. I grabbed his arm and turned him around to face me.
"Jace me and you both know your not fully done healing, your in no state to climb a mountain." I whispered my voice lowered.
"I can do this Alec, I will not be the reason Clary , You, Izzy and Magnus die form a demon attack." He replied and shrugged of my arm and walked out into the other room. I sighed and followed. In the other room I entered to see Clary and Izzy eating some food up at the counter and Magnus having a drink. Jace walked over to them and started to talk.
"Hey guys I need to talk to you about something." Jace began everyone looked up at him as he placed his hands on the counter. I walked over and stood opposite.
"We need to get out of here the demons are getting to strong to keep fighting, I know a place in the mountains where we can go." He finished and looked down.
"Ummm Jace there is one quite big problem with that." Izzy started , Clary as if reading her mind finished.
"Your not done healing pushing it could do worse." Jace's looked annoyed now. He slammed his fist down on the counter, gold light burst form around his fist and the counter top cracked.
"I am fine! I will not be the reason for anymore death! Everyone pack light." Jace finished breathing heavily. A long silence filled the room.
"I agree with Jace." I spoke up Jace looked up and met my eyes.
"Okay but how will we get there?" Izzy asked looking at Jace.
"Magnus can portal us to the bottom." I answered. Magnus nodded " that I can do." He said.
"Alright I'm in." Clary spoke up touching Jace's hand. "The demons are getting to dangerous." She added.
"Are we all in agreement?" Magnus asked looking around the table. Everyone nodded.
"Let's get packed."I said walking away form the table heading to Magnus and I's room. Magnus came with me. I tossed him a bag and he caught it easily.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Magnus asked placing his bad down on the bed.
"Do you have a better one?" I replied pulling supplies into my bag.
"No." Magnus replied flatly. I filled my bag with clothes, medical gear, extra weapons, torch , water and food. I picked up a quiver and filled it with arrow and did the same with another and crossed them over on my back. I put in an extra bow then strapped another bow to my leg the picked up my normal one and put that on my back. I turned around and looked at Magnus he was zipping up his bag and slung it onto his back.
"Ready?" I asked.
"Yes." He replied looking worried I walked over and whispered in his ear.
"It's gonna be okay." I hugged him. Then we broke apart and headed out the door. Clary and Jace came out of there room carrying bags and weapons, Jace had the soul sword in his grip. Izzy was already waiting wearing a tight dress and had her walking boots on she was holding her bag.
"Everyone got food and water?" She asked.
"Yep." Everyone replied.
"Let's go." Clary said looking at Magnus. I noticed her and Jace where holding hands. Magnus quickly activated the portal Jace stored though holding Clarys hand. Izzy went next then me , Magnus came last. The bright orange light stunned me then I was swept of my feet and pulled though. Where we came out was the dark and damp bottom of a mountain. A small path was in front of it. Ma*nsu came out behind me then closed the portal.
"Everyone ready it is a way up." Jace told us. He started up the path I quickly followed Him, then Magnus then Clary Izzy lead the back. The oath was steep and it was cold as we walked upwards. Jace lead at a good pace. We steadily climbed upwards the only thing worrying me was the sky it was turning dark and few drops of rain started to fall. We came to a shear rock face on one side then a deadly drop. There was a tiny ledge. Jace went first it was clear he had done it before he was half way across when I started. I made my way along when a massive crack was heard. I looked ahead at Jace he had stopped.
"Jace What is it?" I called over the strong wind. "Alec don't move!" He yelled. But it was to late I moved towards him.
Another crack was heard and I watched Jace fall I didn't have time to get to him because the ledge gave way underneath me. I fell though the fog and as I was falling felt a blinding pain in my left calf. I heard Magnus call my name. I landed hard on a ledge a long way away form the others. I saw Jace fall past me and disappear into the fog. I sat up on the ledge and felt my shin. Yep definitely broken. I felt for my bag in my back and pulled it off. I searched for the medical kit and thankful grasped. I grabbed a splint and strapped my calf up. Thank god it wasn't bleeding I thought but it still burned in pain. I took some painkillers and pulled on a extra jumper. Then I remembered Jace.
"JACE?" I called down into the fog no reply.
"MAGNUS?" I tried looking up no reply. Great. I took out a big length of rope and attached one end to an arrow. I could see a tree on the ledge opposite me. I picked up my bow and loaded the arrow. I took my aim and shot it so it rapped around a strong tree branch. I did exactly as I thought it would. I picked up my bag and strapped my bow back to my leg . I tied a bit of the rope around my waist and slowly eased my self of the ledge. I hung in the air. Then I began to lower myself down. I took out my torch and shine it though the fog.
"JACE?" I called out again. I lowered myself down lower and called out again.
"ALEC?!" I heard someone yell my heart jumped.
"JACE IS THAT YOU?" I asked out into the fog and lowered myself down faster. I reached the bottom and called out for Jace again.
"Alec! I'm here." I heard and raspy voice call. I shone my torch around to see Jace leaning against a stone. I untied my peels form the rope and limped closer to Jace. He pushed of the rock and moved over to me. He held my arm to keep my steady.
"Hey you Okay?" He asked looking concerned. The pain hurt so much I just wanted to let it take me. I stumbled and he caught me.
"Alec?" I heard him ask but his voice sounded far away. I leaned into his shoulder and my eyes rolled back into my head.
My eyes flickered open and I felt warm. I looked around and realised I was in a sleeping bag. When I looked around I couldn't see Jace. But I heard voices. I caught some of it.
"We are nearly there." It sounded like Jace.
"Can you carry him?" A female voice asked.
"I think so." Jace replied. I could only get this much before I passed out again.
When I woke up next I felt like I was moving, I could hear heavy breathing and I felt warm still. I opened my eyes and realised I was being carried. I looked around me and I could see high mountain walls and blueish sky. I looked in front of me and I could see Clary and Izzy walking ahead. I looked up and saw the person carrying me was Jace. I could see the sweat on his neck. I closed my eyes and snuggled down into the sleeping bag, I felt to weak to move much. I heard Jace mutter to himself.
"Come on Jace….this is your fault." It made me sad to hear him say that. I was about to speak up when one of the girls called out.
"Jace how far?" It sounded like Clary.
"Though there." Jace said pausing for breath between words. He continued his breathing getting ragged.
"Magnus." He breathed heavily.
"Yes Jace?" I heard Magnus reply I was happy to hear his voice.
"Can you p-please take him for the last bit?" Jace asked stammering.
"Of course!"Magnus replied.
"Are you sure." Jace asked sounding exhausted.
"You have been carrying him for the past 7 hours. Of course I wouldn't mind." Magnus reassured. Jace gently gave me to Magnus I smelled his familiar scent and smiled slightly. I was shocked that Jace had been carrying me for 7 hours! I wish I could thank him. Magnus started to move forward and I leaned into his touch.
"Jace you alright?" I heard one of the girls call. I opened my eyes slightly to see Clary walking over to Jace where he was doubled over.
"Yeah yeah fine." Jace replied waving her off and he stood up and kept walking. I closed my eyes once more and fell under the deep spell of sleep once more.
Clarys POV.
I was slowly getting more and more concerned about Jace, he was hiding something but I wasn't sure what. He lead us though and arch a small cave stood before us. He took out his torch and shone it inside. Him and Izzy went inside first. I followed in next. The where standing face a wall. Izzy found the shadow hunter symbols on the wall Jace quickly activated it with his hand. It sunk into the wall and opened a door. Jace walked though first we all followed though after him. A bright light caused me to squint. When my eyes adjusted to the light I saw something amazing. A turquoise lagoon was in the middle a gorgeous cascading waterfall poured into it. A few Hawaiian style huts stood around the lagoon, big tall trees stood around them. Green mossy grass where around the lagoon and the huts. Vines hung down of the trees with flowers coming of them. A small pathway lead though to the lagoon and lead of to the huts.
"Wow." I gasped as I took it all in.
"Jace How?" Izzy asked open mouthed. The sun poured down everywhere. He just smiled.
"Magnus Alec take the left one there should be medical supplies in there. Clary you and I will take the right one and izzy you take the one next to ours." Magnus took Alec to there's and izzy did the same. Jace started heading over to the lagoon. I followed him over. I took hold of his hand and he looked over and smiled.
"How did you know about this place?" I asked.
"It's the shadow hunter emergency safe place." He replied.
"Your amazing." I giggled and laughed.
"Now if you excuse me I am going to go sleep." I laughed and walked towards our hut. For doors where light mesh curtains. I pushed them apart and walked inside, I slipped of my shoes and jacket. I then practically ran over to the soft white bed. I jumped onto it instantly sinking into the mattress. Oh this felt like heaven. I looked at my watch and it was 2pm. I rolled over and fell straight asleep.
When I woke up next the sun was lower in the sky. I looked at my watch and noticed it was 6pm. 8 sat up and looked around I noticed Jace's clothes in one of the arm chairs. All of them apart form his boxers. I got up and dug around in my bag form my drawing pad and pencil once I found them I went out side on the wooden patio and sat in one the chairs. I looked out into the lagoon and couldn't see anything until someone broke the surface. I knew it was Jace instantly because of his bright golden hair shining in the sun. I watched him swim over to the waterfall where there was a small ledge. When he got up I could see a different colour on his skin. He was to far away for me to make it out. He stood underneath the waterfall letting the cold natural water run down him. Then He dived in and swam back to the shore, where he pulled himself out of the water. Now I could see definitely something was wrong with his side. I put down my pad and walked over.
"Jace?" I said as I walked down the steps and towards him. He looked over and smiled but I was far from smiling.
"Hey beautiful." He replied grinning.
"Don't hey beautiful me." I said walking over until I was facing him.
"What's wrong?" Jace asked looking concerned.
"Your side Jace!" I replied angrily and now that I was closer, there was a dark purple bruise that started at his left hip and covered his whole side then up to his chest. The where small cuts and scrapes all along it.
"That's why you where so tired." I said moving closer I couldn't take my eyes of it.
"Clary don't worry I am sure it's nothing." He said smiling.
"Okay so if it's nothing if I touched it , it wouldn't hurt." I replied and I reached out my hand and pressed down lightly. He groaned in pain and doubled over in agony. I leaned down and took one of his arms and put it over my shoulder. He look quite pale now and I slowly helped him back to the porch.
"Don't worry , I can help you." I whispered as I lead him inside and onto the bed. He gently laid down but that still cause him to groan.
"Okay a couple of questions for you." I said coming searching around for some medical kit.
"Shoot." He replied teeth gritted in pain.
"When do think this happened." I asked
"When I fell." He replied. I settled my hands on some good medical kit. A sonogram machine to check swelling, a small x-ray machine, bandages, ointments and we will start with this stuff.
"That was two days ago why did you carry Alec?!." I said coming back over with the things and setting them up.
"Someone had to and you guys aren't strong enough." He replied in pain. It was true but we could have figured out some other way but there was no point arguing now.
"Babe I need you to try and relax for me." I said gently as I prepare the x-ray machine.
"Okay." He said gritted teeth.
I placed the scanners over his chest and his side. Then I powered them up. They took a bright flash and then stopped. I took them away and took out the pictures. One of them had two broken ribs then lower than them had one cracked. As for his chest he had damaged some tissue and muscle.
"Alright now I need to check for swelling." I said a little unsteadily shocked by the results. I rubbed some of the cold gel on his side which did cause him to groan slightly.
"Sorry." I said softly feeling a bit guilty.
"S'okay." He said his words slurred a sign that he might pass out.
"It's okay if you need to pass out." I whispered.
"T-thanks." He whimpered. I put the roller against his side and started move it around. I could see there was a lot of swelling. Unfortunately for broken ribs there is not a lot you can do. I took it away and wiped of the gel. I looked down at Jace to see he had indeed passed out. I smiled he look amazing when he was sleeping. I went of into the kitchen to try and find ice but unfortunately we where out. Crap "maybe izzy has some." I thought. I grabbed a note pad and wrote down on it.
"Hey honey, gone to get ice from Izzy, don't try and get up x." I scribbled. Then I put it on his hand, the set out to izzy's. I walked across the grass and down the path to Izzy's. I knocked on her wall beside the curtains and walked inside. She was in front of her mirror trying on a dress.
"Hey Clary." Izzy said turning round.
"Hey izzy do you have ice?" I asked.
"Yeah I think so." She asked walking of into her kitchen, as she was digging it out with an ice bucket she asked.
"What do you need it for anyway?"
"Just drinks." I lied not wanted to worry her she was already worried about Alec. She handed my a bucket of ice.
"Thanks Izzy." I said and turned and left.
"Tell Jace Get well soon from me." She called after me. I smiled and kept walking. I walked back into the hut and to see Jace still laying there as I had left him. I took the note of his hand and got a cloth. I rapped the cloth around some ice and placed it on his ribs. I felt his forehead was hot and beaded with sweat. I took another cloth a put more ice inside it. I lifted his head up and placed the cloth behind his neck. I began to wipe down his forehead and chest gently. His eyes fluttered open the blue in them to revival the lagoon.
"Hey." I whispered sitting by him on the bed.
"Hey." Hey said back his voice a little ruff.
"How you feeling?" I asked wiping down his face.
"Better thanks to you." He replied smiling.
"Can I have some water." He croaked. I got up and ran the tap in a glass. It filled up with water. I walked back to Jace he was struggling to sit up.
"Hey no don't move." I told him coming over. I place more pillows behind his head and gave him the glass he drank slowly in small sips then handed the empty glass back to me.
"Better?" I asked placing it on the nightstand.
"Much."He replied. He closed his eyes and rolled his head to one side.
"Anything you need baby?" I asked. He shook his head. I began to replace the Ice in his ribs and kept on wiping him down. I quickly noticed he had fallen asleep. I picked up my phone and called up Magnus. It rung for a while but then he picked up.
"Clary What's up?" He said in a cheerful but kind of tried voice.
"I just wanted to see how Alec was doing?" I asked.
"Oh Yeah well it's a broken shin but other than that he's fine." Magnus replied.
"That's good." I said happily.
"How is Jace?" Magnus asked which was kind of a surprise since he didn't know anything about Jace.
"Yeah he is alright." I replied not wanting worry him or Alec.
"Oh okay but clary you sh-" I cut him of when Jace sturred.
"Magnus I have to go." I said quickly and hung up. I put down the phone and looked back at Jace. He opened his eyes and groaned a little.
"Hey honey, you okay?" I asked softly.
"Yeah just feeling a little sick." He whimpered. I jumped up and got a bucket and placed it by the bed side. He groaned and held his stomach. I rubbed his back as he threw up violently in the bucket. I soothed him as he threw up. I rubbed circules on his back. This lasted a good 5 minuets before he was just left dry heaving. He lay back on the pillows and I gave him some water to drink.
"Go to sleep Jace." I soothed.
"Don't leave me." He cried a little.
"Never." I replied kissing him gently.
