Sudden Changes

10- True Identities

Jace's P.O.V

God, I'm such an idiot. After everything Simon had told me, all I wanted to do was go up to her and give her reassurance. Everything about the Morgensterns, Valentine, and the deaths caused by Sebastain just left my mind because Clary wasn't like that.

I saw the look in her eyes and it was completely different than what I saw in Sebastain or Valentine. I knew that if she was like others have rumored then she would never have come for help and safety.

Alec had gotten the news out of me and had told Iz and Maryse. I knew that they would see her like her brother, but I don't. I would protect her to the end of my days. She may be seen as a monster, but her green emerald eyes and the passion she makes me feel beg you differ.

When Magnus had told us Clary wanted to see us I knew that she wanted to tell is. When we got there Clary had a saddened and scared look. I knew that I couldn't look at her not out of anger, but longing and sadness.

Clary spoke, but Maryse would be very judgemental. Clary had told her tale and the whole time I wanted to just kiss her to make her smile.

She told us her story and I was a bit confused about this Henry guy. She also used an iratze rune that I had never seen have enough power. I was shocked, but I didn't care. Clary wanted to hold my hand, but this was a lot to take in.

Once Clary left I wanted to brush he shoulder, but she just walked out woth a look that killed me.

Once she left I walked to the shelves and just threw everything on the ground and kicked the shelf. I was mad at this point. I yelled and grunted when I hit something. I then felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Go talk to her." said Iz in a sympathetic tone. I know she knows how I feel about Clary and she saw that gleam in my eyes. I felt like crying, but I never cried and I won't start now. I nodded at Iz and walked out the Infirmary.

I jogged towards Clary's room when I heard a sudden bang. The Institute's front door was my first thought. I quickly ran back to the front and I walked out.

I was able to catch a glimpse of red dash away. I quickly followed but I didn't know where she went. I tried going down the street and I saw her pushing through people. I quickly ran back and got on my motorcycle. I started it and raced down the streets of New York.

Clary was a really fast runner. I lost track of her about four times. This time I lost her, but heard her yelling. I got off and my senses were picking up demons. I ran down a street and into an alleyway.

All I found was demon ichor, blood, and a hint of stawberry. Clary was here, but where is she now?

Clary's P.O.V

Everything was replaying in my head. The secrets being told, me, Jace, the demons. All this made my head spi and my mind was getting out of control. I was seeing the worst of myself as Sebastain's queen. The look in his eyes. It was wrong. I wouldn't do anything like that. I....

I sat up and gasped. The fear was evident in my movements. i was panting and shaking. I grabbed fist of what felt like a bed sheet. i soon felt a headache and slowly laid back down. I began breathing heavily again. I could hear my brother's voice clearly inside my head. i couldn't let him get to me. 

I was lost in my thoughts and I then realized something important once more. I had seen him. It was impossible. i was so torn up about it that my savior would have been him, but I'm not so sure. Nobody could have moved like him. Every Shadowhunter has their own unique touch to their training and fighting skills and the moved he made were just like David's. It couldn't be possible. He died in the Institute and sadly my brother didn't.
