I was running, my lungs burned from the lack of oxygen. All I knew to do was run. It was chasing me, I could feel it's breath pricking at the back of my neck. I couldn't feel my legs they felt numb. I feel like I have been running for hours. I was running down the streets of Brooklyn but then I saw someone I knew well. "Jace please help me!" I scream as I run up to him. He just stares at me with a blank expression on his face. I could hear the demon's heavy foot steps coming around the corner. "Jace please it's gonna kill me!" I scream frantically at him.
"You deserve to die after what you did!" He says as he grabs my arms and holds me prisoner at the demons bites down into my neck.
*******************************
I jerk up out of bed with a scream. I jump out of my bed and run out into the hall's of the institute. I was covered in sweat. It was just a dream I tell myself as I pace the halls trying to calm down. I stumble to the wall nearest to me and slide down it and bring my knees to my chest and start to rock myself back and forth. I hear a door quickly open and I lock eyes with a sleepy looking Jace Herndale. He runs over to me and kneels down beside me.
"More nightmares?" He says rubbing small circles on my back. I didn't reply.
"It was just a dream." He says.
"They feel so real." I say still not looking at him.
"Trust me I understand, come on." He says as he extends his hand down to me. I grab it and he pulls me up. We slowly walk to his room. We walk into his pitch black room and head for the bed but I find my way to his bed easily, I pull back the comforter and crawl in and Jace follows pursuit. He pulls me close to his chest and I listen to the steady beat of his heart.
"I won't let anything or anyone hurt you." He whispers. I just snuggle into him more. I already know there is a smug smile on his face from my gesture. I close my eyes and let his sent of sandalwood wash over me like a security blanket.
