CHAPTER 2 – CLARY POV
This is it, I thought. I'm going to die.
The blue and green sea rushed up to meet us. I clung to Jace tighter. All of a sudden, a polished black deck appeared under Jace's feet. He landed gracefully and unceremoniously dumped me on my own two feet. I scowled at him. Three more thuds gave away the landing of Izzy, Maia (and their captors) and that boy, Alec.
"And who might you be? Anyone important?" said a low voice. Turning towards the noise, I see a very flamboyant and sparkly man with a man and a boy flanking him. "I am Captain Bane. Call me Magnus. Do you mind answering my question?" He asked impatiently.
Jace nudged me. "Clar- Clary Fray." I stuttered, improvising.
"Belle Blue." Izzy called, also improvising.
"May Bloom." Maia followed suit. To anyone who didn't know us well, we were convincing.
"Clary, your captor is Jace. He will be looking after you until we follow up your names in the next port. Belle, same goes for you, your captor is Simon. Jordan is May's captor; again, he will be looking after you. By the way, you are our prisoners but we will treat you as one of our own. You just can't leave." Magnus informed us.
The man next to Magnus spoke up. "All your jewellery, please. Any money too."
Izzy, Maia and I looked at each other. We wore rings with our family names engraved on them. If anyone saw them, they would know exactly who we were. I saw Izzy slip the Lightwood ring off her finger and hold it in her hand. Maia and I quickly did the same. Our captors removed all the jewellery they could see. I kept an eye on Jace. His hand was straying lower than necessary – my necklace was quite short. There was no reason for him to be fingering the neckline of my fairly low-cut dress. I looked at Izzy. Her eyes were wide with shock and she was staring at Jace. I had finally had enough.
"Excuse me Jace, do you have a good reason for touching my breasts? My necklace is not that long." I told him politely.
Jace took his hands away. I watched as the smirk fell from his face as every person on the ship burst out laughing. Looking at Izzy, I saw that she was grinning like a Cheshire cat. Maia nodded at me in approval.
"First girl," Alec choked out while laughing, "to be immune to Jace Herondale's charms. Ever," Alec continued laughing.
"We love you already, Clary," Magnus smiled, having recovered from his fit of laughter.
Jace did not look very happy. At all. He finally removed my necklace, keeping his hands where they were supposed to be. He wasn't even blushing. How can he not be blushing? I thought.
With a wave of his hand, Magnus dismissed us, but not before saying, "There's a party tonight, because of our success today. Jace, Simon and Jordan will show you where the other dresses are."
Our captors finally unbound our hands. We were careful to keep our fingers curled into our palms to hide our rings. Izzy and Maia's captors lead them to their rooms. Jace showed me to a neat, plain room with a bed on each side of the room. He indicated one of them for me and sat down on the other.
Jace looked up at me. I took this opportunity to study him. Long, gold lashes, angular features, full lips, obvious muscle under his loose clothes. He ran a hand through his already tousled hair. It was a mess, but it was a sexy mess. What?! Where did that come from? He is not sexy!
"How old are you, Clary?" Jace asked.
"Sixteen. You?"
"Seventeen." He replied.
"Are you going to kill us?" I asked quietly.
"Depends who you are. If we follow you up and you're someone we hate, you're dead. If you're important, we might hold you as a bargaining chip against your family." He replied casually.
Thinking about it, I figured that I may as well go with the flow.
"Where are the dresses for the party?"
