Scarred for Life
Chapter 19
Yay! 2 updates in 4 days! Since lots of drama went down last chapter, I'm slowing it down a little.
WARNING: Beginning contains a little bit of fluff in the form of Sizzy! You have been warned.

"We can't tell anyone about this! This was a one time thing and it can never happen again! Agreed?"
I sighed. Izzy had already warned me hundreds of times not to tell anyone. "Iz, I understand! Why are you so ashamed anyway? It was just se-"
"Be quiet!" She flew across the bed, slapping her hand over my mouth. "If my parents find out, they'll crucify you!"
I grinned and licked her hand. Izzy shrieked and wiped said hand onto the sheets. I wouldn't dare tell Maryse and Robert. Besides the fact that they scared the shit out of me, I wouldn't throw Izzy under the bus. I cared about her.
Did I love her? No.
That spot in my heart would always be reserved for Clary.
When she finally realizes that I'm the one that's always there for her, the one that she comes to when she's upset, and the one that traveled all the way to NEW YORK FUCKING CITY to make sure she didn't die! She will leave Jace once she realized that he was a pretentious ass-hole and he would never truly know her.
Not like I did.
I was brought back to Earth by Isabelle snapping her manicured fingers in front of my face. "Earth to Simon!"
I swatted her hand away. "I'm fine, just got distracted. Now you better put some clothes on and leave before someone comes in." I didn't really want her to leave, especially considering that she wasn't wearing anything except for a lacy blue bra and matching lace underwear.
As if reading my thoughts, Izzy got on the bed and crawled towards me. "I don't think you really want me to go, and I really don't think you want me to put any more clothes on." She stopped in front of me and stretched her neck enough to seductively nip at my earlobe.
I groaned and wrapped my arms around her waist. I crushed my mouth to hers as we fell down onto the bed. We were about to make the sex a two-time thing when we heard the elevator grind into action.
We both sprang apart and started running around, trying to find our clothes. With my vamp speed, it only took me a few seconds to change, but Izzy was still pulling her jeans on when Alec walked in.
"Simon, find Izzy! Jace and Clary are hu-, wow." He stopped talking, his eyes shifting between me and Izzy. "I didn't know I was interrupting something. I would let you finish, but Jace and Rebecca got injured when they were out doing patrols."
At the mention of 'Rebecca' being hurt, I started running down the hall towards the infirmary, Alec and Izzy managing to keep pace behind me. I almost ran past the door leading into the infirmary and had to grab onto the door frame to stop myself.
Once again forgetting my strength, I ripped the door frame right out of the wall. "Whoops." Was all I said as I threw the now useless wood aside and ran into the infirmary.
The first thing I saw was Magnus. I mean, he was kinda hard to miss with all the glitter. Oh my god, Magnus looks like an Asian version of Edward from Twilight. Who am I kidding? Magnus is WAY more sparkly than some pale emotional thing that gives vampires everywhere a bad name.
Blue sparks shot from his fingers as he stood over Clary. Panic shot through the spot where my heart used to beat. "Please tell me she's okay."
Magnus looked up, the sparks ceased. "Does she look like she's alright? They battled four Greater Demons'. She was cut deep in the rib cage. Also, she know has extremely strong poison coursing through her veins. It'll take me awhile, but I should be able to heal her physical injuries."
I walked over and grabbed Clary's hand, pressing it between both of mine. Her hair was matted and covered in blood. I really missed her fiery red hair. Her eyes were closed, but they were moving back and forth under her thin eyelids. She must be having a nightmare.
I breathed in deep. Her scent, her intoxicating scent of strawberries and lavender drove me wild. Something about the way Magnus phrased his sentence made me a little confused. "What do you mean 'physical'? Is she somehow mentally injured?"
Magnus gave me a look that sent chills down my spine. "Her aura's all screwed up. She's conflicted. Her emotions are all over the place! Good lord, something huge is going down in Rebecca life!" All of a sudden his head snapped up.
"Simon, Isabelle, can I talk to you in the hallway for a moment?" His voice was eerily formal. I missed the joking Magnus with all his sexual innuendos. Me and Isabelle exchanged a glance as we followed Magnus out the door. Alec made a move to follow, but Magnus waved his hand. "Don't worry Alexander; I'll be back in a minute. Why don't you start wiping the blood off Jace and Rebecca's injuries?" It sounded more like a command than a question.
Magnus walked about 50 feet down the hallway, and then stopped. He whipped around and what I saw shocked me. Flames were dancing in his eyes.
Actual flames.
They hissed and crackled, threatening to spill out and burn down the whole Institute. "Why didn't you tell me that our dear Rebecca Fray was actually Clarissa Morgenstern?"
I froze. Out of all the things that I had expected Magnus to say, that had somehow slipped my mind. "How did you find out?"
"I was sifting through her mind trying to figure out the extent of her injuries, and I saw everything that she's been through in the last month. Tell me why I shouldn't kill her where she lies."
Isabelle spoke up, tears in her eyes. "You can't kill Clary, Magnus! She's the only friend I have."
Magnus' eyes softened, but he repeated his last sentence. The sense of hopelessness and dread started to overtake my body. I couldn't stop Magnus if he decided he wanted to kill Clary. He's so much more powerful than me.
I had to talk him out of it. "You only saw the past month, right?" Magnus nodded. "Go back into her head and look at every memory. Her families bad, but that doesn't mean she is."
"I will do as you suggest, but if she even looks the slightest bit guilty, she's dead."
All I could was nod my head and hope that what Clary told me about her past was true. All I had at this point, was hope.
What did you think? I promise that I'll try and have the next chapter up soon, but I make no promises!
REVIEW!
Also, a shout-out to Iris Hanson. I basically gave her my vision for the rest of the story and she said it was good. I hope you guys will agree!
