I wake up suddenly. I feel next to me to make sure Jace is there. Ever since we got back from Idris, there has been something different about him. He has been a wreck; never sleeping; dark circles under his eyes like endless pits burning into his soul. Ever since then Jace has been acting really weird, like someone is controlling him. And I am pretty sure I know who it is. When a Shadowhunter is born a ritual is performed. In that ritual, powers of protection and security are bestowed upon the baby. When Jace was brought back to life by the Angel Raziel, his protection was stripped away. Anyone or any thing was able to get into his mind; access all of his thoughts, emotions. I fear that something, from this world or another, is trying to get a hold of Jace, like he is very important to this person or thing that they are willing to drive him crazy just to get it. It is insane! I fear that this thing is going to drive me and Jace further and further apart untill one day I will no longer exist in his messed-up mind.
I reach for the other side of the bed and only feel silk sheets in my hand. Jace, I thought, he's gone! I get up out of bed and search around the room. Still no sign of Jace. Oh no, I thought, Who or what would take Jace? Then I thought to myself, There is only one person who could have done this to him. And I know who that person is.
