Changing Power (TMI Fanfiction)

5- Called me a Morgenstern

Time skip 3 days

Jace and Clary had gone back to sleep and even though both of them had felt an uneasy feeling regarding Clary's rune and her now growing power, none of them had mentioned any of it.
Jace began to drift back into consciousness and he noticed that Clary had slept peacefully for the third day in a row. He looked down at her back and saw that the rune was still there. The uneasy feeling came back to him but he didn't know what to say or do. Something was wrong with Clary weather they wanted to admit it or not.
Clary began to stir in his arms then turned around with a sleepy but happy smile to her face.
"You slept through the entire night again." Jace told her with a proud look on his face.
"Yeah about that... I have a theory." Clary's expression didn't reflect in any way how Jace felt happy for her being able to sleep peacefully for days in a row. Instead her face portrayed worry and a vast amount of... wariness? That couldn't be could it?
"Go on then." Jace asked with an uncertainty regarding what she was going to say.
"Alright. Well my theory is that I sleep fine when I exhaust my power enough. See the days I had nightmares I would sneak out so you wouldn't notice but-"
"You would sneak out in the night?" Jace asked incredulous.
"I'm sorry but I wasn't ready for you to know." Clary answered with an apologetic smile.
"Anyways. After a few nights of horrible nightmares I started to actually draw the runes I would see during the day. I did that for about a week and as I noticed that the nightmares were gone I- I kind of started to forget about the problem and came back to sleeping here. Then if I remember correctly the day I had the nightmare again for the first time, I didn't use any of the runes that day because you guys didn't leave my side once." Clary explained.
"And the next day you woke up from the dream and drew like a bunch of runes so you managed to sleep peacefully for the rest of the night right?" He asked while following her train of thought.
"Exactly. And although I didn't draw any runes the last three days, I know why I didn't have nightmares."
"The rune in the alleyway. You said it felt like it was the most powerful one yet."
"Correct again. I didn't even think up any new runes these last few days because of the amount of energy and power that I put into that one. And it still hasn't faded either."
They were both now aware of how complicated the situation was. She kept being tormented by nightmares and waves of rune visions if she didn't use her power but... her power was going darker and darker by the second.
"I think we should go visit the silent brothers." Jace finally said.
"I was just thinking that actually!" Clary answered with an amount of enthusiasm that Jace immediately recognized as fake.
"Alright. Well it's already..." Jace took a look at his phone then said:
"Nine o'clock so I'll send them a fire message saying that we need their insight on something and asking for a meeting with them. Let's have breakfast for now."
"Sounds perfect. But don't forget you and I have to train with Simon after lunch and then we promised Izzy that we would go with her to that downworld rave in the new club that opened. 'Ravening' was it?" Clary put in.
"Yes. Sounds fitting doesn't it? Considering that ravening demons and such are always hanging out there?"
Clary let out a small laugh that took Jace in too. They both got up, changed and left for breakfast.

After lunch ~ Simon's point of view

"Alright blood-hunter, are you ready for me to kick your ass?" Jace asked with that smirk that made Simon want to slap out of his face. He could never understand how girls would go all squirmy over it.
"'Blood-hunter'? Seriously? You still going to keep doing this Heronstale?"
"Yes I will. And 'Heronstale'? Seriously?" Jace asked repeating his own words.
"Yes you know 'stale' as in no longer fresh and pleasant to eat?"
"I know what you meant. And I'll have you know that I am very fresh and pleasant. You might know that yourself considering that you took a bite from me once upon a time." Jace answered with another one if his characteristic smirks.
"Sooo..." I saw Clary coming up behind him with a yellow whistle that had a duck engraved into it. I immediately knew that I had to keep him distracted for her to get close enough.
"The thing I was wondering is, why is it that I had to go through all that-"
QUACK
Jace immediately jumped up then had a dagger pointed towards Clary's feet. I burst out laughing and heard Clary did the same, and when we looked at Jace's face again, the look of utter betrayal, anger and a lot of fear that was shown was impossibly hilarious. I saw that Clary fell to the floor laughing and I couldn't help but do the same.
The next thing I saw is that he is taking the whistle away from Clary's hand and then two peace's are flying out of his hands. I catch it with ease, now that I am as fast as a Shadowhunter, and see that Clary is holding her piece in her hand too. Be both stop laughing and stare at Jace. He lifts up his dagger pointed to our direction on the floor then said:
"Never again got it Morgenstern? And you Lovelace?" Jace said shooting daggers out of his eyes.
The next thing I saw was Clary running out of the room and I had this idiotic look of confusion on my face. I saw as realization dawned on Jace's face and he immediately left the room after Clary. All I heard was him saying:
"Crap!" As left the room.

Clary's point of view

When Jace called me a Morgenstern I really don't know what got into me. I mean I had been called Morgenstern millions of times before and people even used it as an insult. Jace only said it jokingly and I got all messed up. I don't know maybe it's that this time I actually believe that Morgenstern is a shameful and evil name that only should be used to describe horrid and unspeakable things. Things like... me. How could I have been so stupid as to not see the evil in me before? Maybe I knew it all along but don't want to admit it? Maybe I should have died and been burnt to ashes together to my brother. Perhaps this way the world and the people I love would be safe from my evil powers and self. By the angel how could I let myself get here? Before I thought my purpose was to help and save the world but now ... I just feel like I took away all the evil so that I could be the only one left. And the worst part is? I don't even want to do these things! I don't want to create maleficent runes like the ones I have!

Jace's point of view

I followed suit behind Clary knowing exactly what I had done. How could I have been so stupid? She ran to the greenhouse which was our special place that either of us went to when we needed to think. I her every word that she said and I don't think she realizes that she is speaking out loud. To herself. All those lies about herself. I just wait for her to stop talking and at her last sentence she subconsciously moves her hand up to her neck.
"Clary?" I say.
