As you can see, I decided to start a new story.
I WILL be continuing Alternate City of Bone and I will try to update soon. Also I have put up links to all of the characters outfits on my profile, so be sure to check those out.
I don't own the mortal instruments. They belong to Cassandra Clare.
This story is basically about what would happen if Jocelyn had never discovered that Valentine was evil. The uprising seceded because Jocelyn never stopped it, Luke is still a shadowhunter, and Jace's parents are still alive.
READ THIS IT IS IMPORTANT: To clear some things up, Maia is a shadowhunter (I needed another girl and didn't want to make one up) and her last name is Wayland. Luke is second in command because he wasn't turned into a werewolf, Stephan is third. The Lightwoods were never banished to New York and they are currently important members of the circle. Jace moved away from Idris with Stephan after Celine died (He was ten at the time). He has never been affiliated with the names Wayland, Morgenstern, or Lightwood. Also I am planning to included Magnus, Simon, Raphael, Jordan, and the other important downworlders, but they won't come in till later in the story.
Chapter 1-
Clary's POV
It was almost seven when Isabelle Lightwood, Maia Wayland, and I started to get ready. This evening was the sixteenth anniversary of my father's defeat of the corrupted Clave. They had been making a peace treaty with the downworlders. The circle, my father's army, created the uprising in order to destroy the accords.
The most important members of the circle are my parents, Valentine and Jocelyn Morgenstern, Luke Graymark, the Waylands, the Lightwoods, the Penhollows, the Verlacs, and the Herondales. Stephan Herondale was my father's third in command. However, after the death of his wife, Céline, he took his son, Jace, and moved away. That was another reason this dinner was important, the Herondales would be returning to Idris.
"Clary, your dress is so amazing," said Maia.
"Thanks," I replied. I was wearing a turquoise ball gown and silver pumps. For jewelry I had on a silver necklace that was covered in pearls and a small tiara holding down my long, red curls. Izzy had done my make up so that it made my greens eyes look like emeralds. "You guys look gorgeous too."
Izzy had on a long lavender dress that was tide at the waist with a piece of dark purple silk. She had on a pair of silver pumps and she had wrapped her silvery gold whip around her arm to make it look like a bracelet. Her long black hair was pulled up into an intricate twist.
Maia had on a long multi colored dress that made her skin look like melted caramel. She had on a pair of light orange heels and she had gold cuffs on each arm. Her curly hair was pulled back in messy bun.
"We should really get going. I want to get a spot near the Herondales. I want to hear all about the mundane world," said Izzy. We grabbed our purses and walked out the door.
Since there was no modern technology in Idris we had a horse drawn carriage waiting outside. The driver opened the door and let us into the plush interior.
About ten minutes later we arrived at the Accords Hall. This was the very place were the circle had defeat the Clave. The inside was packed. This room was filled with the less important. They could eat socialize while the top families of the Circle had dinner. We hurried through the large room and headed toward the dining hall.
I quickly looked around the room in order to locate someone interesting. I finally spot Izzy's older brother Alec in corner talking to a group of teenagers. Write in the center was, of course, the mega slut Aline Penhollow. Tonight she was wearing tight bright red dresses that went halfway down her chest and barely covered her butt. She then had on a pair of gold thigh high stiletto boots.
"Hello ladies don't you look gorgeous," said Sebastian Verlac. He was Aline's cousin and a total perv that flirted with Izzy, Maia, and I every time he saw you.
"Hello, Sebastian," said Isabelle with as much venom as possible. "Alec, Aline hello as well."
"Hey girls," said Alec with a smile. "You guys have to meet Jace. Come on he's over here." With that we followed Alec to the other side of the room.
This was the moment that I first saw Jace Herondale and let me tell you he looked like a god. Everything about hi was golden. His hair was gold. His eyes were gold. Even his skin had a goldish tint to it. He was talking to a group of circle members, including my parents.
"Oh, Clarissa!" exclaimed my mother when she noticed us approaching. She was wearing a cream and gold ball gown that hugged her curves. She also had a gold medallion hanging around her neck. "You look beautiful."
I smile in response. "Girls," said Maryse Lightwood, Isabelle's mother, "Have you met the Herondale yet?"
"I don't believe we have," I replied.
With that the golden boy stuck out his hand. "Jace Herondale." He said in a velvety voice.
"Clarissa Morgenstern, but everyone calls me Clary," I replied. After Izzy and Maia had introduced themselves we headed back over to the other people our age.
"I suppose I ought to thank you for coming when you did. I don't know how much more politics I could have taken," said Jace.
"You're very welcome then," I said.
Time seemed to pass very quickly. Within a matter of minutes Jace and Aline had left the room, only to return just before dinner was served with their clothes and hair slightly ore rustled then they were before.
Dinner was rather uneventful, until father stood up to make his speech. "… Today I also wish to announce a new bond between our families. I am pleased to announce that my daughter, Clarissa, will be marrying…"
What do you guys think? Good, bad, amazing? Review! I need feedback! I apologies for any spelling or grammar mistakes, I was editing this really late.
Who do you think she will be marrying, Jace, Alec, or Sebastian. (This is an arranged marriage so it doesn't really matter that Alec is gay. Also he's not out of the closet yet.)
I posted pictures of all the dresses on my profile. Check them out.
