Stone Circle Friends on the other side

Clary knew very well what Steph had done, but the knowledge was only a feeling - a crumbling pain whenever she thought back to the moment she'd seen her sister torn and bleeding on the ground. She thought she had died. She thought she had lost her. For a long and sickening minute, she had wondered if she would see a new star in the sky that night; if she would have to name it; if Steph had entered the dreams mama said no wolf could wake up from.

That was why the happiness all felt so wrong, and she turned her head at Ezra's glance, not wanting his questions. He didn't even seem upset, and the soft murmur of her siblings behind her - they pushed her to the breaking. Clary tensed her jaw and tried to reign in the fire that built from a simmer to a burn. And all the while, the words began to whisper for all the reasons why.
