Chapter 37
Previously
Shadowhunters have angel blood. I just have more. Clary probably does too. I remember him taking her down there. I remember sneaking down there in the middle of the night to hold her hand and comfort her as much as I could because I knew how bad it hurt. I remembered everything.
Clary POV
I watched from Jace's embrace as Magnus put a hand to Jon's forehead, and closed his eyes. Jon looked over at me one last time before passing out. After a few minutes, his body started going rigid. It wasn't stopping, just speeding up. I was starting to get worried. Jon's screaming and cries only made it worse. I had to look away. That was going to happen to me next. When I looked back at Jon, he had curled himself into a ball, and there were tears streaming down his face. I was starting to get panicked. I started to wiggle in Jace's arms, trying to get to my brother, but he only held onto me tighter. I started kicking and screaming, and doing everything that I possibly could to get to my brother. Jace started using his strength and started crushing my weak little body into his strong muscular one. He pushed my head to his chest, right over his heart. He knew that this always calmed me down. His heartbeat was just so steady. It was always there, and when I could hear it, it was like music to my ears. I stopped fighting and leaned into his chest. I closed my eyes and focused on the steady thumping of Jace's heart beat.
Jace had put a hand in my hair, and started rubbing circles on my back. He was whispering sweet little nothings into my ears. I had the material of his shirt fisted in my small hands. I was digging my nails into my palms so hard that it was bleeding. Jace tried to get my hands straightened out and stop the bleeding, when Jon stopped screaming. I looked over Jace's shoulder and found him sitting upright. He looked worn out, and his shoulders were heaving with every panicked breath he took. I ran over to him while Jace was distracted and threw myself on Jon. Magnus got up and pulled Isabelle and Jace aside. I didn't really care right now what they were talking about though. I was just happy my big brother was okay.
Jon's arms wove themselves around me and started hugging me tightly. I started crying in his arms. He just whispered to me.
"Sshhh, You're okay. We're okay. There's nothing wrong sweet Clare, we're both okay. Shhh," He kept going on like this until I stopped crying. When I did, Jon started speaking in a voice just above a whisper.
"Clary, we need to talk." I slowly pulled myself away just enough to where I could see him. I nodded for him to go on.
"Do you remember when Jace told you about Shadowhunters?"
I nodded my head.
"Did he say anything about Shadowhunters having angel blood?"
I nodded again.
"When I was four, Valentine injected me with more angel blood. And I'm pretty sure he did to you too."
I was stunned for a second.
"What does that mean?" I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
"I don't know, but we need to look into your mind to see if Magnus can find the same thing in you. It could be one of the reasons that we were able to make the shots with the knives."
I nodded, but started tearing up again. Jon pulled me into him and started whispering to me again.
"Jon, I'm scared."
"I know. I know. Don't think about it right now though, just focus on me."
I wrapped my arms around his torso and squeezed. I heard him take a quick breath, but I didn't release my hold, and he didn't let go.
"Clary, honey. It's time." Magnus had walked over to me and Jon, and was looking at me sadly. I started to hold onto Jon even harder.
"No, no, no, no. I don't want to! Please don't make me Jon, please don't make me." I started sobbing again, and I felt someone start to pull me away from Jon. I started screaming, and kicking, trying my hardest to stay with Jon. Someone went behind Jon, and started to grab my arms. I screamed more.
"NO! STOP PLEASE!" I sobbed even harder.
Whoever was trying to untangle me from Jon, succeeded, and pulled me away. I squeezed my eyes shut and cried, but trying to get away wasn't working. My captors were stronger than me. I felt myself being laid down on the floor, and I opened my eyes. I saw Jace's golden eyes staring down at mine. I grabbed onto him, and clung. As if he were about to be taken away from me as well.
"Jace don't leave me. Jon! Where's Jon, I need Jon, Jace don't leave. Jon!" I cried into Jace's chest.
"Shh, Clary. I'm not leaving. Jon's coming over here, and we'll both be with you. You're okay. Shh, you're okay." I felt someone sit down next to me. I looked over and saw Jon's white blonde hair. He grabbed one of my hands and squeezed it gently. I started to relax, I had Jace's t-shirt balled into one fist and Jon's hand in the other. Jace had his arms around me trying to get me to relax even more. I was starting to relax, but when I saw Magnus, I started to freak out again. He came and kneeled over next to me. He started to pull me off of Jace's lap and in the middle of the two boys. Magnus was above my head.
"Clary, I need you to relax. It won't work if you don't relax."
"No! He's going to hurt me, just like he hurt Jon, help me! Please help me Jace, Jon! Help me!" I started to cry again, and I was holding onto Jace and Jon like my life depended on it. I started digging my nails into Jon's hand and my palm. There was blood on Jace's shirt now because of it.
"Clary, he's not going to hurt you. He didn't hurt me. He's not going to hurt you. Magnus is trying to help us." I looked into Jon's green eyes; they were a shade darker than mine. They always calmed me. They always made me want to believe him. I nodded slightly and stopped struggling. I laid down on the floor, Jon and Jace to the sides, and Magnus above me. I looked up at Magnus, and squeezed my eyes shut. He put his warm hand on my forehead, and I was out.
Hey guys.
So this is a shorter chapter than usual, but I wanted to get it up. Next chapter will include what Magnus is able to see in Clary's mind, and they might go to school, but I don't know yet.
Anyways, thanks to all who reviewed, and I'm not updating until I get 185 reviews.
Hope you guys had a fantastic holiday, and have a happy new year, if I don't update before then.
