Chapter 25: desperate measures

After Jace had begged Piper to stop long enough for him to reactivate her healing rune to help her heal from the beating she had received from the forsaken and for her to work out that there was not for them to go to Idris now that the portal was gone as well as the only warlock they knew who would be willing to reopen a portal for them to go through Idris, despite her many protests Jace finally convinced her to get some rest to speed up the healing progress as well as to clear her mind as she thought of everyone she loved being over there in Idris while they were stuck back in New York although he had promised himself as much as her to stay with her while she slept. In the morning however Piper woke up knowing that she couldn't stay in the institute alone with Jace causing her to untangle herself from Jace who was snuggled into her before getting dressed in a light red and cream striped tshirt that he tucked into her jeans that were rolled up at the ankles before putting on her cream coloured sneakers, she grabbed her burnt orange knitted cardigan before leaving the bedroom along with Jace who was still sleeping soundly. Piper wore her hair in two messy fishtail braids, she also wore lightly smoked eye makeup with a pale pink lipgloss. Jace woke up an hour or so later as he soon realised that he was waking up alone as he slowly got up and dressed trying to work out where Piper was as he tried not to worry that someone had attacked them while he slept, however his worries were soon calmed down when he stepped out of Piper's room to the smell coffee as he realised that she was probably off trying to all of this out which how he found himself bringing her something to eat to the only place he thought she would be.

" I figured you would be here, well I mean I did think the place had been raided by the forsaken again but then the coffee kind of clued me in that you disappeared on your own" Jace said spotting her in among the books spread out across the floor

" yeah sorry, I should have left a note or something to let you know I was ok" Piper said distracted as she continued to read the many books she had pulled out as he sat down on her floor beside her

" Piper... pipe, what is all of this? Portals and the magic of warlocks? What, you think you could channel the magic of a warlock and create a portal?"Jace said knowing that a shadowhunter could such a thing

" I don't know, I'm trying to think of anything that might help us get to Idris. We need to get there, Jace, like yesterday" Piper said as Jace looked confused by her sudden urgency to get Idris and to the others

" and we will... we always figure out a way, don't we?" Jace said as he swept a stray piece of hair out of the way of her eyes as he suddenly felt her stiffen under his touch adding to his confusion of all of this

" yeah and what if this is the time that we don't? What if this is the time that we're out witted and one of us dies because of it?" She said with an edge to her voice as he wondered what was going on with her
