Chapter 1: Prologue
Author's note: This is only my second fanfiction, and as my first story was a one-shot, I don't think it really counts. Here is my first attempt as a multi chapter story and hopefully I can receiver loads of reviews (hint, hint – REVIEW). Please say any comments or ways of improvement on my story. Thank you. I have no idea what a disclaimer is or what it's for, but I'll just say this...I do not own any of Cassandra Clare's amazing work, all praise for the Mortal instruments series goes towards Cassandra Clare and if it's about my story, then I think I'll split it 50/50.
Summary: After the death of her father, Clary and her mother, Jocelyn move to a small town called Idris, as a hope to mend their now dysfunctional family. Once there, Clary befriends the Lightwood family, but there is the one with golden eyes that catches her attention...
Clary's POV
In order for ants the safest route to food, one goes out on its own. When that lone ant has found the path, it leaves a chemical trail for the others to follow. When you stamp on a line of ants, or, less psychotically, if you interfere in their in their chemical trail in any way, it drives them insane. The ones that have been left behind crawl around frantically in panic, trying to regain the trail. I like watching them at first, totally disorientated, running around bumping into one another while trying to figure out which way to go, then regrouping, reorganising, and eventually crossing the pathway back in their straight line as if nothing had ever happened.
Their panic reminds Mum and I. Somebody broke our line, took out our leader, and ruined our trail as our lives descended into utter chaos. I suppose, no, I hope, that with time, we'll find the right way to go. It talks one to lead the rest. I think, seeing as Mum is sitting this one out as she's like a walking corpse, occasionally humming every once in a while, as if testing herself if she really is alive. I know that it is up to me to go up front. Alone.
Sorry about the very short prologue, although I promise to update as soon as I have enough reviews! Tell me watch you think about the 1st chapter and any ways to improve. :^))
Thank you,
