Chapter 2: Nightmares

I remember that night. The very first night I had that nightmare. That feeling of not being able to do anything to help him I felt totally oblivious. My mind was swirling. I was screaming and yelling trying to get his attention. Trying to get his attention so that I could just let him escape and to rest for a few minutes. I was yelling so loud I don't know how they didn't hear me. I was flailing and yelling until my lungs hurt. I finally had to stop and catch my breath. "JACE!!" I screamed. "Clary, clary sweetheart. I'm right here. Its okay, it's okay". "Oh, Jace you're alright…" "Of course I'm alright" he replied confused.

"What happened?"

"Nothing" I said shyly. "It's nothing, I'm fine"

"Are you sure?" he asked his brows furrowing with worry, holding my gaze trying to figure out what's been bugging me. What had me so worried and scared. I know he doesn't believe me. But I have to keep in the blue. I don't want to bother him with these obscene nightmares that probably mean nothing. But in the back of my mind I know something is wrong. I know I need to protect him. Something is coming I can feel it in my bones, because I get the chills every time I think about it. I know something's out there.

I just don't know what…

"What are you thinking?" Jace asked me breaking me out of deep thought. "Nothing, it's not important", I replied.

The next few weeks have been cruel, I haven't gotten much sleep. Jace is beginning to worry. He keeps asking and looking at me trying to figure out what's happening. But no matter what I do before I go to bed. They keep returning. Something is about to go down. I keep seeing innocent people running down the streets of Idris. Fire is Blazing everywhere in different parts of the city. Screaming is filling the night air. I shiver as a chill is sent down my spine and i swirl around and see a dark figure behind me all I see are these dark eyes. I know these dark eyes. I've seen them before. Looked into them and saw something that I remember I didn't like. I know who these eyes belong to. But before I even get a word out a voice cuts me off. He puts his finger to my lips and says " You know what will happen don't you?"

I blink at his eyes. Placing his eyes and voice together...I think back and realized who's been doing this to me.

"I know who you are", I threaten.
