Hey guys! Before I smash a wall I need to tell you this. I just went out for coffee with a girl who didn't know what TMI was. So I was like okay, let her try it, so we went back to my place and she tried the first page, and threw it out the window. She is out buying me a new book and commissioning glass people. I can't handle this before a holiday! Okay, rant over. Enjoy!
Three Weeks Later
Jace P.O.V
Staring at myself in the bathroom mirror, I saw bags accumulating under my eyes from weeks without sleep. I was tired, yet I didn't care. I spent every hour at her side. Drawing on wakefulness runes when Izzy had her back to me, I wanted to lengthen our time together. I began making a mental list if everyone I have pissed off. Isabelle. Luke. Maryse. Clary. Magnus. Jocelyn. Oh god. Jocelyn was pissed. We had to lie saying that Clary fell down the stairs for her to get off my back, literally. She still didn't believe us. Yet I hadn't annoyed Alec, I was ever grateful for the cups of tepid coffee he brought every half hour. Slumping against the cool wall I slid into a sitting position. That's when I heard it. A high-pitched scream. Sprinting to the infirmary I saw Isabelle on her knees next to Clary. A moving Clary. Oh god. Her ever-vibrant hair was matted and coated in blood. Her fern green eyes landed on me and her jaw dropped. Rushing over to her, Isabelle intercepted me. "Don't." She said through gritted teeth, " She's in shock. She had the dream from Edom. Now I don't know what it was, but she is messed up. Go away." Her eyes were pleaded with me. Reluctantly, I let Alec and Simon drag me away. So caught up in grief, I didn't notice where we were going until the pushed open the heavy institute doors. Grunting in protest, I wriggled against them as they pushed me into Takis. Putting plates of pancakes and waffles in front of me, they sat in silence as I meticulously ate them, by this point I knew that it was better to get it over with. "This isn't your fault. Well, technically it is, and we lied for you…" Simon was cut off by Alec when he saw how off course he was going, "We are not here to discuss whose fault what is, Simon I've seen Isabelle naked…" A mischievous grin crossed his face. Simon yelped and was on top of him in seconds. "Dude, he is her brother." I interjected, "And plus, we know that Izzy is pregnant. So…" They had begun to make me feel slightly better. Confusion flashed on his face, realising my mistake, Alec and I bolted out of the diner, into the cool, mid-summer night air.
Noticing Simon gaining on us, I cursed the Shadowhunter Academy for training him so darned good. Nodding to each other, Alec and I split off into our hunting formation, using Simon as the demon. Jumping down on him from below, I heard him yelp as I grabbed his neck to insure that I would be able to stay on his shoulders.
Isabelle P.O.V
Forcing Jace away from Clary broke my heart, I knew exactly how he was feeling. I had to keep reminding myself that this was better than letting her near him. She would kill him. Calming Clary was hard enough. When she woke up she screamed, then began to gag, as if she was trying to expel something from her body. Sweating hard she sat up, staring blankly into my eyes. Her eyes though, they were empty, the green had dulled and her movements had slowed considerably. If rejecting Jace wasn't bad enough, the sight of Clary like that definitely hurt. This couple would be the death of me. At least Simon was fine, he didn't know about the baby, and Jace and Alec won't tell him, Clary just came out of a coma so there is no way to find out for him. "Isabelle!" I groaned as I heard Simon shout my name from the entrance. Pushing myself out of the chair, I froze as I heard heavy footsteps coming up the stairs. Not a good time Simon. I made to the door as he was at the end of the corridor, sprinting down to me, he grabbed my neck and slammed me against the back of the door. Clawing at his hands, spots blurred my vision and I could feel the darkness coming. Using all my strength, I screamed. It was ear-splitting. Conceding, I began to think about the baby, the suffocating baby. Suddenly I was on my knees, gasping for air as Clary hauled Simon off me. My scream had woken her and, in true Shadowhunter fashion, her response was to come running, thank god. However, my scream had also alerted Jace and Alec. Their faces as the noticed me on my knees, I suspected that they had seen from Clary's intervention. Alec rushed over, but Clary was pushing him away. Easing me to my feet, she led me to a chair, checking my neck, she constantly looked over at Simon, who was sobbing, at what I didn't know.
So, this chapter only has two perspectives, but I hoped that you liked it. Comment below on what you think Simon was crying about, being a father or attacking Isabelle?
Until next time,
