markofthemind[She's hurtling through space and nothing makes sense and she can't feel Luke's hand on hers anymore. The scenery rushing up to meet her is nothing like the image in her mind, though judging by the trees and green and sky, it does look like Idris might. And the lake--
The lake is suddenly right there and her impact sends a shower of water into the air, and an image of splashing, flailing limbs to all the Dreamberry network-- because, apparently, someone has kindly left astudiously videotaping Dreamberry on the edge of the shore exactly in front of where Clary has landed several feet into the lake.
She's deep enough that, for a moment, the girl completely vanishes beneath the water. And then another splash and a wild tangle of utterly soaked red hair, and she's gasping loudly for air and swimming for the shore. Dragging herself out near the Dreamberry she hasn't noticed yet, Clary looks around wildly in obvious confusion, already shivering noticeably in the cold air, her hair and long green coat dripping lake water in a pool around her.]
Luke? Where are you?
[Was he here? She remembered he'd been holding onto her, and then he just hadn't been, and-- What happened to people if they got lost mid-Portaling to somewhere? What if they were just lost in limbo forever? Panic welling up suddenly, Clary stumbles to her feet, hugging her elbows to warm her shivering body, and yells again, more desperately.]
Luke!

Date: 2011-10-09 07:38 am (UTC)And yes, he grabbed a coat for her.
But forget that. He's too busy pulling her into his arms.]

Date: 2011-10-09 07:52 am (UTC)She barely even has time to turn around at the sound of running footsteps. Clary gasps, eyes widening, heart leaping into her throat in that way that should have been too familiar by now and was still startling every time-- Jace.
For a moment, she freezes in his arms, too shocked to react and too reluctant to pull away. But the thought of Luke floating somewhere in the middle of nothingness is still pressing. Clary realizes belatedly she's been burying her face in Jace's chest and jerks away, hugging her arms around her own body instead.]
Where's Luke? Where are we?
[A pause. She bites her lip, looking somehow furious and hurt at the same time, little hands suddenly pushing at his chest to make him back up. How dare he do this, after what he'd just told her, after all that drivel about 'wanting to be just her brother?' She'd been so worried, but now he's here--wherever in Idris 'here' is--and suddenly she found herself angry that, despite the circumstances, he'd left her behind.]
Why did you leave without me?
^.^ <3
Date: 2011-10-09 07:55 am (UTC)What is he supposed to say? Then...]
Luke isn't here. This is Somarium.
[He frowns.]
Why are you angry?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-09 08:05 am (UTC)What's Somarium? [She repeats, not understanding. She's never heard them discussing anything but Alicante, really. Clary steps away, scowling at him past her sopping hair and trying to keep her teeth from chattering.
Why is she angry? Seriously?]
I know. Magnus told me what happened. But still, you could've-- I don't know. You left me behind, Jace. And now you're confused about why I'm angry?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-09 08:09 am (UTC)But they were finally past that...]
You just created the portal... You don't remember...
no subject
Date: 2011-10-09 08:11 am (UTC)What don't I remember? What's going on, Jace?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-09 08:14 am (UTC)[Wait, wait, wait.] But that's not what's important. [He grabs her shoulders.] Clary. We're not siblings. He lied to us.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-09 08:18 am (UTC)...what?
[Maybe she's dreaming, or still drowning and passed out or she hit her head-- Jace wouldn't be this cruel to her. Even after declaring so hurtfully he apparently didn't have feelings for her anymore, he wouldn't...]
no subject
Date: 2011-10-09 08:22 am (UTC)[Those gold eyes of his look wild and desperate. Jace doesn't know what he'll do if she doesn't believe him. He's been here almost a year without her. She has to believe him.]
You just haven't learned this part yet. But you will.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-09 08:24 am (UTC)She blurts it incredulously, still completely at a loss.]
You're from the future?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-09 08:28 am (UTC)[He hates feeling this frantic and he knows the story is insane but he could just get her to believe him...]
It was all a trick. In this world timelines get all mixed up. None of it makes sense but I promise you that we're not siblings.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-09 08:36 am (UTC)Jace, what are you talking about?
Weren't you just telling me you wanted to be only my brother from now on?
['This world,' he'd said. What world? Idris? And seriously-- the future? Maybe she really had hit her head on something in the lake. Shuddering, Clary stared at him accusingly, looking lost even though she seemed to be trying to be angry again.]
I know you didn't want me coming to Idris, but this isn't funny.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-09 08:40 am (UTC)I'm...not joking.
[He looks away and holds out the coat he brought.]
It's too cold for you to just be wet out here.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-09 08:45 am (UTC)She looks away, shaking her head again slowly.]
Jace, I don't understand...
How can we not--? I mean, what you're saying is... [absolutely ridiculous and makes utterly no sense at all.]
