Intro
[10PM; Friday, September 5th, 2014]:
Rain came down hard over New York, turning the city of Manhattan into a blur of neon reflections and dripping streetlights. The park was nearly empty—just wind in the trees, distant traffic, and the steady hush of water hitting stone paths. Jace sat alone on a bench with his elbows resting on his knees, soaked through and unmoving. Five months. That was how long it had been since the engagement party. Since Clary said no. And two months since everything else had fallen apart. Exile. The Cohort. The split in the Clave. The missions he still ran with the New York crisis team, trying to rebuild something that felt like order again.
None of it mattered right now. Because Clary’s voice still echoed in his head like a wound that refused to close. There were moments, quiet and ugly, where something darker would curl at the edge of his thoughts. A whisper. A suggestion. The echo of what had been placed inside him when he died at Valentine’s hands and came back wrong—broken in ways even Heavenly fire hadn’t fully erased. He had learned to lock it down, to bury it under training and missions and exhaustion. He exhaled sharply, rain sliding down his jaw as he stared at the pavement.
You died for her and she still rejected you.
The thought came uninvited and Jace’s fingers tightened slightly against his thighs. Make it stop. He closed his eyes. “I said shut up,” Jace muttered under his breath, like he could silence it through sheer force of will.
But the resentment was his own. That was the part that scared him. He had died for her. He had come back for her. And she had still looked at him like that wasn’t enough. Rain blurred his vision, though he wasn’t sure if it was weather or something else entirely. Behind him, the air shifted. Too quiet. Too deliberate. A blade slid free. A Dark Shadowhunter stepped out of the shadow of the trees, moving fast—silent boots, raised weapon, aimed directly at Jace’s back. He didn’t even turn. He didn’t notice. But Guest did.
