"Clary, you don't have to agree to anything. By the Angel- you don't have the training to fight one ravener, let alone two." He was gripping her upper arms tightly, a deep crease forming between his eyebrows.
"But," Clary murmured, gently removing his hands, "I can't stay here forever. Besides," she continued brightly, "I've already fought plenty of demons."
"Yes, but not without-" Jace bit his lip, leaving the obvious words unsaid. Not without me. Clary turned to Meliorn.
"I'll do it." She looked at Jace. Neither spoke, just looked at each other, silently overwhelmed with feelings of horror for the other. Finally Jace spoke, his voice rough and pained.
"In that case, we had best go and tell the Queen. Oh, and the others."
Clary groaned inwardly. Fighting demons was one thing; justifying it to Simon was entirely another.
