It's Where My Demons Hide

Chapter 2: Mind Trickery…I Think

Song: You Found Me by The Fray

*Clary POV*

"J-Jace? No, th-this isn't possible! He's dead for crying out loud!" I whispered to myself, hoping nobody was watching. This can't be possible, or can it? I don't even know, because a lot is possible in the Shadowhunter world. I mean, we kill demons, which nobody but us and other magical creatures can see! Of course, I haven't been myself of late, so maybe I'm just imagining, I haven't tried this ye-

"Clary, give it up. You did try it, for what absurd reason I have yet to understand. By the Angel, what the hell was running through your head?!" the Jace-like voice said again.

"I-I don't know who you are, WHO ARE YOU?!" I shouted at the transparent object-person-thing that was talking to me. Maybe it was Jace, maybe he really is here. Those thought ran through my head about as fast as a cheetah at full speed (For those of you who don't pay attention in Science, this is about 70mph. Fun Fact of the day, my little Eggs) maybe even faster. Don't be stupid Clary, I thought to myself. Of course Jace is dead, not here at all, couldn't be humanly possible. But then, what was that who saved me from myself? Was it a random stranger who had wandered over here sightseeing in the middle of the night? No, it couldn't be. I was floating in mid-air, and I couldn't see anybody below me, unless I didn't look hard enough. I mean, who could stay in that freezing water for so long without at least suffering from hypothermia? It was mid-fall, and we're near Canada! The water was freezing, no doubt. So it had to be an otherworldly spirit. But it couldn't have been Jace, because he just died, right?

"Don't be so stupid Clary, of course it's me. I mean, a ghost could not pull off my hair as well as me!" Jace said, self adoration creeping into his voice.

"P-prove it!" I shouted. People were starting to stare, and I felt heat creep onto my cheeks, painting them with a reddish hue. I probably sounded like I needed a visit to the psychiatric ward in the nearest hospital. Then I remembered what I said, prove it! Really Clary?! You have to say something, and that's what comes out? I stare at a particularly interesting piece of grass, embarrassed with myself.

"Clary," Jace sighs, "How the hell do you not believe me? I mean, do you even know me? I'm sure Isabelle would believe me, or even Alec. He is my parabatai after all! So why out of all people do you not believe me?" Jace shouted, making me shrink back. I must look like a crazy lunatic right now, because nobody else can see Jace. He turns away from me for a second, clearly pissed to the max. I don't know if it is him, so why is he blaming me?

Okay Little Eggs I know this sucks, but I had to update. It isn't finished, but I didn't wanna leave an authours note saying this so, here it goes. I don't know how much I'm going to update, because I have to go to school in like, 30 minutes (It's 6:06am as we speak) I have Spanish and I really wanna try and get All A's and B's all year this year. Sorry Eggs, but I love y'all and such.
