Chapter Text
Simon crawls into bed next to Clary. Since Jace is still in the infirmary, he is the only one to stay with her at night. She still has trouble sleeping even when she knows Jace is okay.
Clary falls asleep fast after he comes in but Simon has more trouble. He keeps thinking about everything. How much his life has changed since Jace, Alec, and Izzy came into his life. Simon doesn't blame Clary but he knows she blames herself. For turning him into a vampire.
Simon likes to think about the good things, though. Jocelyn and Luke, Jace falling in love with Clary, and Iz...
Warm thoughts wash over him as he thinks of her. Finally, with her on his mind, he finds enough peace to sleep.
Simon wakes with a start. He looks out the window and the sun is in the middle of the sky. Noon. He slept in again. Simon looks beside him to see that Clary is gone. Probably to make coffee or something. But then he notices a note on the pillow. A note? He opens it and reads.
"Dear Daylighter,
Wait a second, isn't Jace supposed to be the one sleeping with her? Anyway, I took Clary. I was going to kill you but I knew that she would never cooperate then. So I settled for drugging you to keep you from waking up.
Don't worry, Clary's fine... for now.
Good luck finding us. You're going to need it.
Oh, and tell Jace that Clarissa is mine ."
Simon dashed out the door in search of Alec, Izzy, or preferably Jace.
