Letters from the Shadow World (Mortal Instruments)

Was it All a Dream?

I wake with a start to find myself back home in my mother's house. I sit up and rub my eyes. I look down at my arms and find them clean not a single scar from a single rune.
I jump out of bed, and run into the kitchen. Luke and my mom stand talking at the island, but stop and stare at me like I'm crazy as I come to a skidding halt.
"Why am I here?! I was in Alicante, with my fiancé Jace Herondale. Alec and Izzy were fighting, and... and... wait where's my gear?! My weapons?!" I shout as my moms face goes white.
"Um... Clary, what are you talking about?" Luke asks as my mom try's to recover.
Then she says, "Clarissa Fray, stop shouti-"
"My name is Clarissa Fairchild not Fray, I live at the New York Institute not here, my fiancé's name is Jonathan Christopher Herondale, Magnus Bane sent me to Idris on official Clave Covenant business with Jace, Alec, Isabelle, and Max, Simon was at the Institute, and Catarina Loss went through the portal with me. Now, where is my gear and weapons? I need to go back to the Institute." I tell her, shocking them so much not even Luke says anything.
My mother rubs her temples and says, "Clary, I have no idea what you are talking about."
"Jocelyn, I'll call Bane." Luke whispers to my mom as he turns toward the phone.
My hand flys to my throat, and Jace's ring is missing.
"No. No. No, no, no, no, no! It couldn't have been a dream. I love him..." I say as I fall to my knees.
I fall to my side as my mom runs towards me, and my hands hit my heart once before I black out...

I wake up screaming feeling a searing pain in my chest and arm. My mother holds me down as Luke expertly moves a stele forming a rune on my arm.
I look down and stare at the rune for a broken heart, the most painful rune you could receive without mutilation.
I gasp as I here Magnus say something about the spell being ready.
"No! Jace-" I start to scream, but Magnus cuts me off saying, "Soon, you won't even remember the significance of his name, you won't remember or see the Shadow World. Is there any thing you'd like me to tell them?"
"Tell Jace I love him, and tell the others I will miss them, even Izzy." I growl out through my teeth trying to control my pain as Luke finishes the rune.
I see a hint of pity mixed with sorrow in Magnus' eyes as he puts the spell on me, and I black out...

Next day walking to Java Jones with Simon
---

"So you don't remember anything about yesterday, or how you got that nasty burn on your arm?" Simon asks me.
I shake my head and say, "I remember seeing a cat, but that's it."
"Wow. That is weird." Simon says as he opens the door for me.
I start to say something when I think I hear my name being called out in a pained gasp.
I snap towards Simon and ask, "Did you say my name?"
Simon shakes his head no and shrugs his shoulders as I sit down and he goes to get our coffee.
I hear my name again, and someone say sharply, "Jace!"
I look around, and I'm about to move when I feel something like a kiss on my forehead. A shiver runs down my spine as Simon walks up with our coffee, and sits down beside me.

Jace's POV
---

Clary had disappeared two nights ago from our bedroom in Idris, and we had tracked her back here to New York. My ring, her gear, and weapons had all appeared in my room yesterday morning, and I'd spent the past two days trying to find her.
Alec, Isabelle, and I are passing a coffee shop when I see her.
"Clary!" I call out to her.
"Simon!" Isabelle calls out to Simon.
Neither of them look at us. Simon doesn't seem to notice that his name was called at all, but Clary snaps to attention. Instead of turning towards me she snaps her head towards Simon.
She asks him something as they walk in, and he shakes his head no. As Simon walks off to get their coffee, I see a rune on Clary's arm. The rune is for a broken heart, and I know she would never voluntarily administer it or have it administered.
I call out her name again, and she looks around as Alec says sharply, "Jace!" I wave Alec away and place a kiss on Clary's forehead. I feel her shiver, and she even slightly leans towards me. I smile inwardly glad that she'd felt it, glad she still knew my touch.
Simon comes back with their coffee and they start talking about the burn on her arm. I shake my head as Magnus comes through the door.
"Magnus! What are you doing here? Our dates not until tonight, and we were meeting at the Institute." Alec says surprised his boyfriend had showed up here.
"I came after you because I have a message for you three. From Clary, but this first part is from me.
"Clary's mother, Jocelyn, forced me to place a spell that would make the shadow world nearly invisible to her, especially you shadowhunters. She also administered a rune to cure her broken heart. When Clary woke up from the first spell I had performed on her she had remembered everything. She dreamt about it all, so when she realized that Jace and her ring were no where to be found she broke down. Passed out from the pain, and unfortunately had to undergo the pain of the rune. I performed another spell that would erase every memory she and Simon had of the Shadow World, and replaced them, of coarse. Anyways the message from Clary was she would miss you all and to Jace. She loved you." Magnus explains to us.
I think this over then say, "Wait a minute. Clary and I are engaged. What did you replace that memory with?"
"Well, Clary is still engaged to someone, but not you. She's engaged to Simon." Magnus explains to us.
My jaw drops as Izzy falls into Alec. His arms go around her catching her before she can hit the ground.
I turn back to Clary, and take my stele in hand. I take her arm, and she barely notices. I quickly place a rune for clairvoyance on her arm to help her Sight. Then, as she rubs her arm, I turn away from her and walk out the door.
Alec carries Izzy, and Magnus portals us across town to the Institute. When we get to the Infirmary, Alec holds Isabelle down while I put a rune for heart break on her.
After that I walk deafly up stairs to our room. I sit down on the bed, and take out my stele. My mind begs for the relief of a heart break rune, but my heart wants her back. Doesn't want to go blind and deaf. Make it so that I don't miss her, and so that I can finally sleep.
I shake my head, and put the stele in my pocket. I lie down, and stare up at the ceiling. Willing myself to fall asleep...
