The End of Cities

Prologue

This story starts after Valentine died. Clary's mother never left Valentine and she grew up there. It starts of sad but it turns up quickly.

The men led Clarissa by the hand out of the home she always knew. They asked her here name but she offered no response. As she left the big solid doors she would lean against and day dream her heart sank. And flew. The world was beautiful. The grass was green and she heard lovely birds. Her brother told her to not be afraid, to be strong. He said this would be good for her and to enjoy herself for the time being. He said he would be back for her soon enough.

The men put her on the back of a horse and took her away to the City of Glass. They put her in an auditorium like room where the people looked down on her with pure hate and fear. They asked her question she couldn't answer. They put a blade in her hands to force the answer out of her. They didn't stop until her hands bleed. She thought about answering them and what it would be like if she could.

A tall man walked out of a passage. His clock was the color of bone and his face mutilated. He turned to the council and without words told them that she was incapable of speech. She was so exhausted that the next exchange of words was lost. She caught something about finding people she knew, but the rest was a sea of incoherent sound. The man in the robe collected her in his arms and carried her through a portal that led to her next place of residence.
