City of heavenly Fire chp1:

Chapter 1:

It was black everywhere, no inch of light the room. Clary stirred in her bed. Tossing and turning through the sheets, her red hair plastered to her forehead with sweat. Clary felt darkness consume her and she wanted to scream; to cry out but she couldn't find any words. Clary wanted so much to wake up but she felt something holding her down, forbidding her to come to consciousness. She tossed once more taking the white sheets with her as she turned hastily in the bed. Unsure, as reality and her dreams blurred to one; she felt a cold, strong hand touch her bare skin, burning her. The hand was gently as it swept her hair across her face to tuck it behind her ear, but the touch of the skin against hers; burned like fire. Then her dreams dragged her further down to darkness as possessive strong arms wrapped around her, pulling her down. She wanted so much to find the light, any light. Clary was breathing hastily now, unsteady deep breaths. She was panting trying to find air as she was being suffocated. She was struggling with everything she had trying to break free off these arms that were pulling her further down to darkness. Clary managed to wiggle free just enough to turn around and glimpse a look at the face of the arms that were restraining her. Fear and horror flooded through Clary and she stiffened before letting out an ear-splitting scream.
