[ The memory starts with the crystal impression of a long-scaled creature with too many eyes crouched against someone's living room floor. It's legs ( like a monstrous centipede ) twitch as it breathes and it's eyes blink before settling on the girl who is unmistakably Clary. Her red hair is damp and plastered to her skin, her eyes wide and horrified and when the creature moves, so does she, twisting and falling to the floor. It misses her by an inch, claws extended and she scrambles to her feet to fling herself out into the hall. The creature lands just above the door in front of her, venom dripping from it's jaws and it's voice a high, hissing sound. ]
Girl. Flesh. Blood. To eat. Oh, to eat.
[ Slithering towards her, the demon looks like something pulled straight out of a nightmare but Clary doesn't make a sound anymore, doesn't whimper as she lifts a heavy photo frame of her mother and Luke, just closes her eyes against the terror and flings it straight at it. It bounces off and shatters and she loses all hope. ] Bones to crunch, to suck out the marrow, to drink the veins.
[ There's something else in her hand now, something that doesn't belong to her, something that pulses and her fingers tighten around it as the creature lunges a second time, knocking her down and dragging its impossibly cruel body over hers. It's face is inches from hers and she grimaces, bites back a whimper. ] To eat, to eat. But it is not allowed to swallow, to savor. Valentine will never know, he said nothing about a girl, Valentine will not be angry.
[ In what could be her only chance she takes the Sensor and rams it deep in the creatures mouth, hot burning drool coating her skin so that she screams in one painfilled note. But it's clawing at its throat and she shifts, climbs to her knees. It's tail comes down as it twitches, strikes her in the back of her head as she tries to crawl away and everything goes black.
Moments later the scene shifts and she is outside, Jace bending over her. He looks - worried - but Clary doesn't notice beyond the pain in her body. ] Don't move.
[ She ignores him, turns her head and bites back a whimper at the agony now filling her.] I told you not to move. [ Jace's voice is a hiss, urgent and quiet, and she sucks back the cry in her throat. ] That Ravenor demon got you in the back of the neck. It was half-dead so it wasn't that much of a sting, but we have to get you to the institute. Hold still.
-- But it talked.
You've heard a demon talk before.
[ Jace is gentle as he ties something to the back of her neck and the memory fades a little once more, as though with the relief of pain so goes it. The minute it starts up again, Clary's arm is in his hand and he is holding on to something sharp and silver, something like a blade but not at the same time. She tries to pull back but he's stronger, holds her still as he traces a design into her skin, lets it leak into her black and strong. ]
-- What's that supposed to do?
It'll hide you. Temporarily. My stele.
[ But Clary doesn't hear the rest, her legs go out from underneath her with his name caught in her throat. ]
( ooc: Miss fray has been hit with memory theatre. It's from a very early scene in City of Bones so it's not spoilering anything too badly. She doesn't know it's gone up so feel free to break the news. )
