I DO NOT OWN THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS, but I do own this story

Chapter 5

Luke set Jace down on a bed in the infirmary, and thats when he he woke up. He opened his eyes, about to scramble away, but then noticed who it was.

He opened his mouth to speak, but no noise came out. Then Luke noticed a rag stuck in his throat. Shit, he thought he had gotten the whole gag out. So, he reached in and grabbed it out, blood staining it. When he turned back around, Jace had sat up.

"Where the hell am I?" Jace croaked out.

"Well, at least your personality is intact. You are at the institute, and Magnus and I are going to fix you up," Luke said.

Magnus walked in then, and pointed at Jace, "It seems the numbness spell worked on your wounds, which is why you aren't in pain. I'm going to have to heal you soon, and the numbness needs to be taken away, is that okay?" Magnus asked.

Jace looked hesitant before replying, "Yes, just get it over with," The boy looked like hell.

"Alright, first we need to get whatever external injuries we can, and then we will go for the poison-" Jace cut him off, "The poison? Sebastian never poisoned me."

Magnus and Luke looked at each other, not sure what to say. Eventually, Luke spoke up. "All of those times he punctured you with that needle, he was using dirty ones. They had all been used in feeding his demons. So now you have threads of poison in your head, legs, and arms."

Jace was silent for a minute, looking at his hands. It was such a weird image, Luke thought, to see Jace all banged up yet sitting so innocently.

"Okay, you can do what you need to. It couldn't be any worse than what we just left. I mean unless you're counting Valentine, then it definitely couldn't get much worse." Jace said, and then he turned over.

Magnus couldn't believe it. He knew the poison was bound to cause hallucinations and possibly emotional imbalance, but he hadn't expected Jace to let any of that out. So he set a hand on the boys shoulder, "Jace, this poison could cause hallucinations and emotional imbalance. That can be a hard thing to go through alone, and Luke and I will be here for you, okay? Just remember that."
