"Jace! What the hell is going on!"
"CLARY!" Luna screamed.

Clary looked at the rope ladder and up.

"Jace what did you do! Im coming Luna."

Clary was about to climb up using the wall when Jace snatched her arm.

"Stop, Clary the girl is afraid of heights. She cant be afraid of heights, shes a shadowhunter."
"So what do you suggest we do?" Clary said.

Jace looked at Clary then at the rope ladder.

"Leave her there till she jumps. Thats what my father would have done."

Jace started to stalk out of the room when he stopped to look at Clary. Clary set her jaw and walked out as well. Every step she took felt like a stab to her heart as the girl screamed her name.

Luna pressed her back against the cool wall. Her heart was beating rapidly. She wanted to get down. In her head she could hear Jace's instruction. She could see him landing on the mat perfectly.

"I can't." She said. "Im not a shadowhunter. Im fey."
"Half really."
"Who's there!"
"Someone who once was a downworlder."
"Simon? Help me!"
"I cant Jace will kick my ass... I mean but I do want to."
"Jace this Jace that! Nobody cares about Jace!"

Luna came to the ledge of the platform swallowing hard pushing herself to put her legs over the edge. She sat there gripping the platform, her eyes shut tight.

"Come on Luna its not that hard."
"Im 6! You guys hate me. I didnt even get a proper rune ceremony, and I wasn't even suppose to get marked till 12! I HATE YOU ALL!"

Luna got up and took a step where there was nothing but thin air.

"LUNA!" Simon scram.

The little fragile body of the girl came down fast. When her legs made contact with the floor there was a awful snap followed by a scream.
