The sun is at its high point , its morning. I roll back and realize that Jace isn't here , i slowly try to get up and suddenly he enters the room " Morning beautiful " , and for the thousandth time in a second i am absolutely beguiled by his face , he is wearing a button down and he has pajamas on , and his eyes are like a shade of gold  couldn't quite describe it's like he is the sun who has a suntan. In two quick steps he reaches over to the bed and sits down beside me " How come you don't get bed hair ?" I ask and he laughs. So beautiful. "One cant help being born in to perfection" He says "I don't suppose one can" I whisper and kiss his cheek . " How are you feeling ?" He asks , i feel like i could  mentally run a few miles but physically i just feel.... drained . " I am better" I smile " How is the kid ?" i ask and i cant help but wince " He is alright , better than alright. " He smiles and tugs my sleeve " He is alive and he is okay " I nod and i cant help but feel a wave of relief. " Look, Magnus knows somebody who can help you with all of this " He whispers " According to him you are a...banshee" He gulps and I arch my eyebrow " What..why?" i stutter and before he could say something the door opens and Simon walks in and before i know it he is hugging me , and i let him. And i feel like a missing piece just fit itself inside me " God ,  i was so scared " He says and i am crying " Don't worry i am not leaving you this soon . Who will irritate you and beat your ass in GTA if i die ?" He pulls back and he is smiling " Rematch " i mouth and Izzy is standing beside him , her hair is all over the place and she is crying too , " If you do something like this again , i will personally kill you " She warns pulling back her tears. After all the hugs and tears i ask " Where is mom ?" Jace's face darkens " Jocelyn wasn't supposed to be here so she went back "  " So you guys smuggled her here without the Clave knowing ?" I laugh " Damn Clave ". I take a shower and realize that my body has no marks , or no wounds but then Jace's voice echoes 'You are a .....banshee' . I dont understand , that day is like...a mirage or a dream , i sigh at least the poor kid's alive. i take out a blue shirt and jeans when i walk out Alec gives me a hug and i am pretty shocked, me and Alec don't have much in common other than the fact that we both love Jace and Izzy but over the years we have bonded through snarky remarks and horrible jokes . " I have never been so glad to see you " he says as he pats my shoulder " believe me , me either ".  " We have a guest , Biscuit " Magnus walks in with a tall slender woman with big green eyes she smiles " I am Lucille , Magnus'-" oh god ! " Clare ?" She asks and i hug her everybody stares. " Its obvious you both know each other , let us know the story " Jace smiles " Simon ? " She asks " Lucy " He says and i remember the fun we had , all the late night cramping sessions and the bunking. " We were all sophomores in high school , same class " I shake my head " Oh ,please you were a fucking cliche with your perfect score " Simon says " What was your GPA again 4." She mocks " Back on the topic " Magnus says " Clary what i say now might sound a tad crazy " Try me " I sigh " Look i want you to tell me exactly what happened , what you felt " She says holding my hand " Okay....when i saw that body ..the bodies from  the very first time i felt this...strange ,unshakable feeling that something is very wrong " I say " So you didnt believe that this might be random ?" She says confused " Not for a second " I mumble " And when i saw that body in the lab something jut clicked and i just...just knew where the next victim might be ....its like i heard it loud and clear" I say looking at my  fingers "Heard ?" Izzy asks " Yah like ..like " i cant explain " Like there are voices in your head " i finally say . " Clary , you are a banshee, i know it sounds really...really bonkers " She says putting her hands in her palms " How is that even possible ?" I ask she smiles ruefully " All banshees they have different times when they...open. You remember the month before my grandma died ?"  i nod " I knew it and after the first time i screamed ...like seriously screamed i was stuck in limbo for a month in my own brain." i gulped all i could think about was 'A MONTH' " We thought you had an accident " Simon says softly " Clary you opened two days back and i am shocked to see that you didn't stay stuck for long . What bought you back ?" She asks curiously " Jace " i squeak and he squeezed my hand " When i was stuck there i saw him ..him die and ..and he was sad and i could see him but he didnt see me " And i am crying " He is your anchor, isn't he ?" She says looking at us " He is my entire life " I mumble " You are lucky that you have him, some banshees who have anchors they ..they have a reason to come back to ...to fight their way back " her face darkens " Some who dont, they go mad ".


I smile as i kiss him on the lips , 

I love you , Jace Herondale

Always have and always will.
