Chapter 8: Medicine Sucks

Clary's POV

I feel a sharp pain go through my arm. I flinch. I can feel the pain traveling trough out my body. It feels likes someone is stabbing you constantly in the same spot. I try to open my eyes. I can't see anything. My world is black. Crack. I feel my arm break into two. I scream out in pain! I look for my arm but I'm only accompanied by darkness. Snap! I feel my lower back crack. I couldn't take it more. I scream as loud as I can "PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!" I feel more and more of my bones snapping. The pain is unbearable. I just keep screaming and sobbing hoping someone will hear me.

"Clary?! Clary please wake up!"

Jace?

My eyes snap open. Finally I can see. Everything has been blurred. I feel dizzy and I can't see straight. But I can see Jace's golden hair above me.

"Hang on, Clary! Please stay with me!" Jace yells. He lifts me into his arms and my body screams in agony! I try to hold in the cry but the pain becomes so immense I scream and sob uncontrollably.

"Clary please! Stay with me. Keep your eyes open. I promise I will make the pain go away." Jace pleads.

I wish I could believe him but the pain just gets worse. I start to fade away but Jace's voice keeps me on the brink of consciousness.

"No no no Clary. Keep your eyes on me! Stay with me Clary. Okay I'm setting you down now. "Jace whispers.

I feel the contours of the Institute's hospital bed on my body. Even the slightest movement on my body caused the worst agony imaginable. I manage a wail of pain.

"Please.... Make it go away.... Jace... please help...." I whisper. I grab Jace's hand. My vision has cleared. My body isn't even recognizable anymore. The broken bones in my body has shifted it so bad I can't even look. I stare up at Jace. His eyes are filled with fear and anxiety. He runs his hand over my head and through my hair.

"Clary don't be frightened. The Silent Brothers are here. They'll help you I swear on the Angel Raziel. You will be okay, Clary." Jace says firmly. His hand leaves mine as the Silent Brothers force him and everyone else out of the room.

"I'm sorry...." I fade from consciousness and into a sea of darkness.

Jace's POV

I'm pushed out of the Institute's infirmary. I collapse on the floor. I cover my face and silently sob. Clary's screams of agony had been so unbearable. I felt so weak. So helpless. I couldn't do anything to help her. I stop crying. And anger fills me. Jonathan. He did this her. The next time I see him he's mine. I get up just in time to see Simon, Magnus, Isabelle, Luke, Jocelyn,
Robert, Maryse, Brother Zachariah, and Consul Penhallow come rushing to me.

"Where is she?" Jocelyn yells frantically "What's wrong with her? Is she hu-" Jocelyn is cut off by another wail of misery from Clary. I wince.

"Let me see her! She's in pain! I have to help her!" Jocelyn screams. Tears forming around her eyes. Alec, Luke and I hold her back.

No. You cannot see her right now. She isn't well enough to see anyone. Brother Zachariah states. You seeing her in this state would be unwise at this point. We must wait until the Brothers can solve this problem.

This seemed to calm Jocelyn down. I look around the group. Isabelle and Jocelyn are sobbing uncontrollably. Luke and Simon are trying comfort them. Magnus, Alec, and Consul Penhallow are deep in conversation about God knows what.

Jace. What happened to Clary? Brother Zachariah asked me.

All eyes turned to me. I take a ragged breath. " Jonathan happened." I say calmly. I launch into how Jonathan out a love rune on Clary. That earned a couple of gasps. How we kept her here under a curse so she couldn't escape. Then how Jonathan threatened to turn her into a new type of shadowhunter if we didn't take the spell off of her. After I finished, nobody spoke for many moments. Consul Penhallow was the first to break the silence. "How does Jonathan plan on making a new breed of shadowhunters?" She asks quietly

I didn't have an answer for her. I simply shrugged. Then the Infirmary door opened. An unfamiliar Brother stepped out and whispered something to Brother Zachariah.

"Can we see her? I beg. Brother Zachariah simply nods.

But be careful all of you. Clary has an enhanced version of Demon Poison going through her body. She might not recognize you at first. The poison is playing tricks on her mind. Very powerful tricks. Brother Zachariah warns.

Brother Zachariah opens the door and leads us to Clary. She is surrounded by Brothers. They all disperse as they see us coming. I'm the first to reach Clary's bed. Her eyes are closed but I can see the rise and fall of her chest. I grab her hand. Her eyes flutter open.

"Who are you?" She asks pulling her hand away from me.
*****************************************

Clary's POV

I open my eyes to be surrounded by strange and unfamiliar faces. The pain isn't as intense but it's still there, waiting to swoop in at my weakest point. I look down and see a boy that looks strangely like Jace but deformed. I rip my hand out of his. "Who are you?" I ask. The boy looks astonished. The voice is familiar. "Clary it's me."

Jace?

The boy's face transforms into golden haired Jace. I look around the room. All of the unfamiliar faces are slowly transforming into faces I remember. My mom, Luke, Izzy, Simon, Magnus, Alec, Consul Penhallow. Even Brother Zachariah.

I wring my arms around Jace's neck and begin to sob. The pain subsides that I can't even feel it anymore. "Jace. I'm so glad it's you." I sob into his shoulder. "Me too Clary. Me too. I pull back to look at Jace. He smiles at me. I laugh and smile at him. I look around the room. I'm greeted with smiles and looks of relief. "I'm so happy that's over. I love all of y-" I'm cut off. My throat feels like it's closing up. I start choking. My vision is filled with black spots. "What's happening?" Jace yells at the Brothers. The pain comes back but this time it rushes all to my head. The pain is so intense, even with my throat closing up I wail in agony. I lay back in my bed and cry.

"Please help her. She's hurting. Please. "I hear my mother beg. I grab my head. I'm no longer choking but my head feels like 10,000 jackhammers are inside my head trying get out. I sob and wail. I feel something touch my skin. It burns for a second then black out.

Author's note!

Woah what's up with the Demon Blood Jonathan put in clary? This was a really gut wrenching chapter. But I really enjoyed writing it. I hope you guys liked it as much I enjoyed writing it. Comment what you think(:

Should I change the cover page? I think I should but I want your opinion(: comment please!(:

Will Clary recover from this? Why are they so intense? Will Clary believe the group when they tell her who gave her the Demon Blood? Will Clary go back to Jonathan or will true love prevail for Jace? Comment your thoughts/predictions(:
