Changing Power (TMI Fanfiction)

4- Agony and Power

Clary's POV
Both of them had their hands all over me. I was disgusted and I froze as I looked into the blond boy's eyes. His face started to change and I realized... It was Sebastian.
"You're dead." I managed to say as by heart rate and breathing sped up.
I was so focused on Sebastian that I forgot about the brunette until I felt something on my neck and realized that he was kissing it. I tried to push him off but Sebastian held me and I couldn't move. Jace I thought, but before I could even say a single word Sebastian's mouth was on mine. He pushed my head backwards with his push pursed on my when I didn't respond and now they were both groping me. It dawned on me that they were both distracted to I kicked Sebastian where the sun doesn't shine and punched the brunette to the throat. They both went down screaming and chocking in pain so I got out my stele and drew a rune at the back of my neck without elven having to look at it.
They both stood up now and Sebastian said in a menacing voice.
"You are so dead you bitch!"

Third person P.O.V.
Both of the boys were walking towards her again and she heard several running footsteps.
When the two boys were merely three feet away she looked at them and let the rune power flow out of her through her eyes and into the boys. They both instantly started to contort and scream in agony again as they fell to the floor filled with an agony never before seen. As Sebastian fell unconscious together with the other boy she finally looked to her right.
At the entrance of the alley stood her friends astounded and confused out of their minds by what just happened. Jace was the first to snap out of it and run to Clary.
"Are you okay? What happened? Did they touch you? I will kill them!"
"I'm fine Jace." Clary said with no emotion to her voice.
"Clary! What the hell happened?" Isabelle asked next. Jace, Izzy, Alec, Magnus and Simon were all huddled around her and the two men.
"We were walking and I got lost in thought so I kinda fell behind" she said with some emotion back to her voice, mainly boredom. "Out of nowhere I felt arms pulling me in here and it was these two. They started to um... so I hurt them enough to get away but... I was half frozen because the blond one looked like umm... Sebastian to me." Jace was fuming with anger but couldn't stop listening to Clary.
"When they were really close I pictured a rune and ended things with it." Clary finished.
Jace moved to put a hand around Clary protectively but she flinched and moved away. As she realized what she had done and the hurt look on Jace's face she hugged him, moving away all thought of Sebastian and the two men out of her mind as best she could.
"Clary?" Magnus spoke this time. "What rune was that? I have never seen someone do that to a person in all my life. You just looked at them and they fell in pain." Magnus and all the others had a worried expression to their faces now.
"I created it but it is composed of two other existing runes." Clary answered.
"Which ones?" Simon asked as he now had some training in the Anglican language after he ascended.
"Well... it was the power rune joined together to the agony one..." as she finished her sentence she averted her eyes to the ground now wanting to see their judgmental looks.

(The rune is actually composed of the real existing agony and power runes and it took a lot of work to join them. The rune is shown in the beginning of the chapter and it is also in the cover of the book in Clary's hand in case you were wondering what that was)

The whole group was quiet for a few minutes but felt like hours until Izzy spoke up to help Clary as always.
"Well we should get to the institute quickly for you to take a shower and get rid of the marks and smell those two left on you. Come on let's go." Izzy took a hold of Clary's arm and walked off not waiting for a response and without checking to see if the other were following.
"Thank you Izzy. I really don't know what I would do without you sometimes you know."
"I love you too Clary." Izzy answered with a smile to her face

They finished that night with Clary showering then and Izzy healing her with iratzes. Clary entered her room again to find Jace already in their bed.
Clary walked up to him and layer down too. Jace stretched out an arm to pull her close to him but hesitated halfway. Clary noticed it and now fully turned to face him. He had concern, worry, anger and the slightest bit of hurt to his expression.
"You can touch me Jace. I'm not going to break."
"I know you won't but it's just... after what happened that time with Sebastian and today you moved away from me both of those times when I tried to touch you. I don't want to push or hurt you." Jace said in a loving but hurt voice.
"I know. But it's okay now. I'm okay now. I... you still love me?" She asked in barely a whisper.
"Of course I do angel. Nothing could change that. Especially not something you had no control over." He moved to hug her close to him again but hesitated once more. He looked up to her for aprovem and after getting it he did pull her to his chest.
Clary turned around in his arms, exposing some of her neck to him. He instantly saw a twirl of lines that were previously concealed by her fiery red hair.
"Clary?" He asked. She turned back to face him and he continued. "Is this where you drew the rune?" He asked while touching the back of her neck.
"Yes. How do you know?"
"It's still here. It didn't even slightly fade."
"What?" Clary asked sitting up and walking to the mirror.
"It doesn't make sense. All my other runes faded away and..."
"And what angel?" Jace asked with a worried but encouraging expression.
"And I feel like this is the darkest most powerful one yet." Clary answered with pain to her voice.
