Chapter 7: The Queen

Simon felt bad for Isabelle. He could tell she was freezing in her drenched clothes and by her cursing that her designer top was he tried to comfort her and put his arms around her, he would probably just make her even colder. Alec didn't even look bothered by the cold. He had a serious expression on his face that told him it brought back bad memories being here. The last time they came to ask the queen for help, she had been working with Sebastian and nearly got them all killed. So why should we trust her now? Simon thought to himself.

They walked with a deadly silence in the air as the faerie knight Meliorn aka another one of Izzy's ex boyfriends guided them to the queens throne room. The dim light and the occasional root sticking out of the walls and ceilings made the earthen corridors look even made an occasional conversation with Isabelle and Simon noticed how suspiciously quiet Jace had didnt even try to make a smart comment that would end up getting them killed. His golden hair was plastered to his temples and he walked with his fists clenched. Without Clary he looked so...empty,like some part of him was missing. Simon and Jace may not get along, but he loved Clary as much as Jace did. Which gave him all the more reason to want to kill Sebastian. He deserved to die for all the pain and misery he's put them through and needed to be stopped,once and for all. Jace noticed him staring and glared at him.

"What are you looking at,bloodsucker?"

Well then Simon thought. He clearly isn't in the mood to talk right now,then again,he never is. might as well end the awkward silence now.

"We're going to find her,Jace"

He didn't respond right silence continued for about a minute and a half until he said

"How can you be so sure?You have absolutely no idea what Sebastian could be doing to her right now while we're down here doing NOTHING"

Suddenly Simon felt anger rising out of knew he didn't want to pick a fight with thoughts ended as they arrived to the Queens throne room.

Meliorn stopped in front of them with a serious look on his face and nodded as if to say good luck.

As they entered the Queens throne room-which really had no throne at all, just a low couch with silky cushions .As they entered the Seelie Queen regarded them with pleasure,as if she was amused to see looked as elegant and beautiful as ever,though he would never say that in front of Isabelle or else he'd get punched in the Queen was wearing a sky blue dress that matched her glassy blue eyes with a sparkling trim. Her long scarlet hair was let down low up to her to her back.

They all knelt down reluctantly and Jace was the first to speak.

"My Queen, we come here to ask you for your help in seeking our friend Clary"

The queen smiled wickedly as if she were expecting that question. Simon noticed there were more guards in the room now then when they had entered.A look of confusement flashed across Simons face.Had she been expecting us?Simon asked himself.

He looked over at Isabelle and whispered "I don't think this is such a good idea anymore"

Isabelle replied back "We should leave...NOW"

Izzy passed on the message quietly to Alec and Jace. But they realized their mistake too late. As they started to get up the Queen said "You stupid fools. It was easier than I thought getting you into my i'm afraid you must die now,orders from my beloved Jonathan.

Jace had already unsheathed his seraph blade as he ran into battle.

Clary was glad it was over

For now.

Sebastian would just keep coming every day ready to torture her. The first couple of days were easy to resist giving in it had been almost a week with her psychotic brother now,and each day she kept losing more hope of anyone coming to save her from this hell hole. She cried helplessly in the corner of her cell,as far away from the cell door as possible,where her brother would be waiting there the next morning. She was covered in layers of blood and had scars on her back where Sebastian would crack the whip on her bare back. Clary hadn't even noticed how much time had passed since she was put back in her cell,maybe 3 or 4 hours at most.Sebastian could come back at any moment now Clary thought. The thought made her even more kept telling herself that Jace and the other shadowhunters would come for her,but after each day of torment she started to doubt they were stopped believing anyone would save her as realization dawned upon her. No one is coming for me. She hadn't realized she had spoken out loud until a voice answered her.

"Thats right little sis"

Sebastian.

Had he been there the whole time? Clary wondered

"Get up" he ordered.

She did as she was told. She winced as pain shot up her left leg and a look of amusement spread across Sebastions face.

"Have you had enough Clarissa?Are you ready to surrender yourself to me?"

Clary had considered that a while ago.

Why bother trying to act tough when that would result in harsher punishments?Maybe if she said yes,sebastian would stop the even trust her enough to tell him his was only one thing she could say. She looked up at his dark pupilless eyes and said

"Yes,Sebastian...you win"
