"I am coming for you Clarissa Morgenstern," a voice yelled, "be ready." I jolted awake and instantly recognized the voice. It was my corrupt, disastrous, harmful brother, Jonathan Morgenstern, who wants to follow in his fathers evil footsteps . "Hey is everything okay?" Jace Herondale, my boyfriend, whispered calmly. I looked up at the clock which read 7:10 and simply nodded. "He can't hurt you Clary and he won't ever again." Jace said loudly "I won't let him."  I stared into his beautiful eyes "I wish I could tell my dreams that." I said sarcastically. He started kissing me slowly and softly but I wanted more. Then he stopped, "Clary, I hate sitting here with you always scared waiting to see if he will come back. Let's leave this place go somewhere and just be happy." I cannot hold back the surprise look that came to my face. "Jace, what about your family here? What about Alec or Isabelle? And I have Simon, Luke, and my mom. What would we say to them?"  I asked while sitting up.
"We would tell them it would make us happy. I hate seeing you like this. I just can't watch you suffer anymore." I couldn't believe how hurt he sounded. I could swear he was in physical pain. "Jace, I won't have nightmares forever I just need sometime, but I can't leave forever." When all of a sudden there was a loud bang coming from the weapons room. Jace jumped up grabbed his fathers old knife and grabbed my hand. We started walking hand in hand toward the sound of the incident. When we got to the door Jace looked over to me and we both shared the same look of worry mixed with excitement. Then he opened the door and standing there was Magnus Bane drunk out of his mind.
