Ever After

It's for the best

Clary's POV

I get off the phone with Sebastian and turn around to see Isabelle, Magnus, and Luke standing. All of them have a look of shock. "what?" I say

"You just seemed... like you were telling the truth." Isabelle says

"Because I had to make myself believe it was, for mom." I say

"Well alright then dearies... you two ready to be able to read and talk to each others minds?" Magnus asks

"Yes." Iz and I say at the same time

"Alright, come hither children." he says

Me and Iz walk over to the pentagram Magnus has drawn and stand in the middle holding hands.

"Ons is hier om hierdie twee vroue , selfs meer as hulle is om te bind , moet ek die mag van die onderwêreld om my te help om hulle in staat wees om mekaar se gedagtes te lees."

The room starts shaking and I get this pounding in my head and look up to see if Isabelle feels it too, she does. We both start to scream at the top of our lungs and collapse onto the floor. Everything goes black and I pass out.

"Clary!" I hear someone yell "Clary can you hear me?"

"Luke, give her air. Isabelle is waking up, Clary will too." I hear Magnus say I think "get up now."

"Magnus, she has extra angel blood, you don't think devil craft affects her??" I assume Luke asks

"It didn't do anything to her when Sebastian did it."

"Shit!" I yell. And I pull up fast. The room spins "what time is it??"

"Clary dear! Don't get up so fast! You just passed out for the Angels sake." Luke says to me

"What. Time. Is. It?" I say

"It's been 45 minutes sense you passed out. Why?"

"I need to be at the Manor in like 5 minutes!" I yell

"Alright alright. Get up slowly then." Luke says

I get up as fast as my body lets me, I need to leave now. "okay, is Iz okay?"

"Yes." I hear someone say, but it seems distant

"Hello?" I say in my mind. Thinking the spell worked

"Clary? It's Isabelle."

"It works!" I say out loud. "Me and Iz are talking in our heads!"

"Alright. One last thing before you go." Magnus says as he puts his fingers on my forehead and I feel a warm-cool sensation. "Alright, the spell will work from long distance until a week from today."

"Thank you, I have to go. Iz?" she looks to me "keep in touch" I say with a wink and walk outside.

"Clary!!!" I hear Iz shout

"Yeah?" I say back

"What about Jace? What do I tell him...?"

"Oh, shoot. Thought he would be here by now so I can start a fight. Uh. I'll call him while I walk there. Okay??" I say

"okay.."

"Bye"

"Be safe !" she yells

"No promises!!" I yell back as I dial Jace's number. Please pick up..

"Babe?" -jace

"Yup.." -Clary

"What's going on? You alright?" ugh. Why does he have to be so caring?

"No, Jace the baby dying wasn't my fault and this has shown me how much you don't trust me."

"What? Clary what are you talking about?"

"You heard me. I'm done with holding my tongue. I'm leaving tonight, I don't know when I'll be back, if I do come back. But it won't be for a while. Don't call or text me."

"But- Clary what is going on?? I thought we were okay?? What happened. We love each other."

"No, you thought we were fine. I just couldn't take the guilty looks, the blaming me looks. Stephan dying isn't mine or Sebastian's fault, miscarriages happen."

"Okay okay, I'm sorry. I'll be better. Baby please don't leave me..." I hear his voice break. This hurts so much.. but it's for my mom. I have to do this. He will forgive me...

"I'm not your baby anymore." I say and hang up.

"Damn. You're horrible." Isabelle says into my mind

"Shush. It was for my mom."

"I heard."

"This might not be so fun.. You'll tell Jace I love him if-if something happens to me right?"

"Of course.. but you will be fine. I feel it."

"Let's hope.. listen. I'm almost there. I'll contact you when I see them."

"Okay. Again, be careful."

"Alright"
