Saving Her

Chapter 11: Recovery And Mischief

Jace
I watched over Clary throughout the week, and when she was excuses to go from the infirmary, she did.
I couldn't contain my concern and worry however. She hadn't said anything, not a single word since she had gotten back. I had to protect her, but how could I protect her from something that had already occurred?
I lay with her on my bed, and had my arm around her, she was asleep on my chest. Only she could wear sweatpants and a big T-shirt of mine, and still look gorgeous as she slept, then she cringed, and looked uncomfortable. Then she was squirming, and reaching for something, then sitting up she screamed.
I sat up, and grabbed her. Pulling her into my arms. I felt her relax in my arms, and I smiled slightly.
She buried her face in my chest, and I rubbed her back. Then she looked up at me, I knew she could see right through me, knowing I was tired.
She shook her head as if to say sorry, and got up.
"Clary it's okay, come here."
She shook her head again, and left the room.
I sighed, and ran my hand through my hair. I felt so useless, and when she cringed at something, I didn't understand it. I needed her to speak to me. I needed my Clary back, or I was going to lose my mind.

Isabelle had called everyone to talk about what was happening. Clary was leaning against the doorway, but when I looked at her, she quickly looked away.
Isabelle began
"Valentine has begun, demons have started attacking places, they're trying to find something. The latest attack has begun today, we have to get there now."
Magnus was already drawing a portal. I went through the portal, Alec, and Isabelle followed. Then there was Clary.
"Clary what the hell do you think your doing?"
She didn't answer, and as if on queue demons began charging us. We all drew our weapons, and charged them head on.
I killed the closest one to me with ease, glancing at Clary. One had clawed her face, but she had quickly killed it with her stele. Then there were 50 more headed straight for us.
"Clary, watch out!" Then there was a demon on top of me. I stabbed him, and kicked him off. Then the rain started to fall.
I jumped up and fought a few more off. Then I heard some one yell, as a portal opened.
Out came two demons, and Valentine. I recognized one from when she had been kidnapped. I grabbed my longer sword, and charged.
Valentine smirked seeing me
"Azle why don't you go find Clary"
One of the demons ran off. The one from the kidnapping charged me head on.
I slashes his chest, and he fell to the earth, still. Valentine smirked, and walked over to me.
"Azle is the one you should be murdering. After all he did to Clary. Didn't she tell you?"
I put my stele to his throat,
"What did he do to her?!"
He laughed, and grabbed the stele from my hand.
"Ask Clary." Then Valentine was gone, my stele on the ground. I picked it up and turned to find Clary.
"Clary?!"
She was nowhere to be found. I ran around taking down demons as I went. Then I saw her. She had kicked a demon to the ground, and had looked up just in time to see Azle approaching her.
She froze, going rigid. Her eyes filled with a fear that I had seen after each night of nightmares she had awoken.
"Clary!" I ran straight towards her, but I was too far. I watched in horror, as the demon put a sword through her stomach. He twisted, and pulled it out. Her eyes were wide, and Azle ran.
"NOO!!" I ran towards her, going faster, "CLAARRY!"
I got to her right as she fell, into my arms. She shook her head, as if to say sorry.
"No, no it's not your fault. Never think that."
The demons had cleared out and Isabelle was running towards me
"We have to get her home!"
I turned back to her. Alec was already talking to Magnus about a portal.
Her hair was wet. A tear rolled down Clary's cheek, and then her eyes shut. The rain rolling down her face along side the tears.
"Clary, don't go. Please, please wake up. Clary... Please."
