Heres the next chapter
CLARY'S POV.
THE DREAM
I was eleven, and I was completely unaware of the unimaginable horrors my future held.
"How many times do I need to tell you?" Valentine hissed at me, and held a knife up in a throwing position. "Do. Not. Speak."
I didn't DARE speak. I just gasped
He threw the knife at me and it slashed my arm
"remember to love is to destroy!" Valentine was furious.
I wouldn't respond
I was to in shock
I never spoke again
He would always Cause harm but I wouldn't scream or make any noise.
END DREAM
I woke up shaking and ran to the corner and sat there,curled into a ball. I couldn't breathe. I went into a panick. I knocked something over and Jace woke up.
"ALEC" Jace screamed.
"What's wrong? Clarissa, Are you okay?" Alec spoke softly
"She's having a panic attack" Jace said. "It must have been from a nightmare. Clary I need you to clam down"
I managed to slow my breathing but not by much.
"Keep trying to slow your breathing down." I squeezed my eyes shut, but all I saw was Valentine , so I quickly opened them again and focused on relaxing.
By the time my breathing slowed down, my body was slack, I was still shaking but I knew it was over.
My Panick attack wore me out.
I took out my pad and pen.
Jace? will you-
Before I could finish writing he was holding me in his arms. We sat there for a very long time. Jace was very understanding, He didn't ask any questions. I knew i could trust him completely.
JACE'S POV.
I don't know what happened to Clary. I'm just glad she is okay now. I already know what she say it was her abusive father. That shouldn't be a problem anymore because I put a ruin on there to protect her from her own thoughts, and nightmares. Clary has fallen asleep in my arms. Her panick attack must have worn her out alot. Clary looks so beautiful when she is sleeping. It a Miracle she came into my life.
"Is Clary okay Jace?" his sister Isabelle. or Izzy, asks.
"She's fine now. She just had a panick attack from a nightmare. But she wouldn't scream or wake me up. I woke up when she accidently knocked something over. I wish she wasn't mute. I wish I could take the pain away from her" I sigh.
"Jace your so stupid! You are you make be arrogant but your her hope. You got her to calm down she trusts you. Anyone she probably wouldn't trust at all!" Izzy is always overly dramatic but this time she could be right. Maybe he is her knight in shining armor.
CLARY'S POV.
When I woke up Isabelle gave me a dress to wear. I saw Jace waiting at the door.
"Are you okay?" He asks but i completely ignored him/
My feet carried me towards him.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, and pulled him into a gentle hug.
My face found a resting spot in the crook of his neck. The scent of him filled the space around me. He smelled lovely. No , he smelt like a shadowhunter, not any shadowhunter but my mother.
he was completely still.
I feel a slight pain of rejection.
I pulled back, avoiding looking as his eyes. Tears started to blur my vision.
Just as I backed away, Jace's hand jerked out and grabbed my wrist, pulling me gently me back to him and crushing my face against his neck again.
I relaxed in his arms once more, wrapping my hands around his neck.
Then i understood what he was saying.
"Clary," he whispered. His hand softly stroked my hair multiple times, bringing a smile back to my lips. "I'm so glad you in my life and I'm so glad your safe.I love you so much"
And for the first time in a long time, I felt save and welcomed.
