Jace POV
Like usual I woke up early. Around this time of day I'd usually go for a run. But I had things to attend to. I cooked breakfast and made Clarissa a plate. I wrapped it in foil and put it in the fridge. I also made a note and left it on the table so she'd know where to find it. Before I leave the house I go see Clarissa. I walk silently into the room, she's still asleep. I gently kiss her forehead before I leave. I get in one of my favorite cars which is my black Ferrari. I drive up the road till I reach the fence. I get out and unlock the power box with my key and turn off the electricity. I unlock the gate and drive through. Then I get out again to re-lock the gate and turn back on the electricity from the power box on the other side. It's annoying to do this every time I need to enter or exit but it's necessary to keep my current prized possession in.
Clary POV
When I wake up I don't know what time it is. I don't have a clock. All I know is that muscles ache with soreness. My recent activity is really taking its toll. I still feel tired but I've been sleeping for far to long. I don't even bother changing out of my dirty clothes from yesterday. Not that there's anything to change into anyway. I get up and go downstairs. I don't see Jace anywhere, so "I suppose he did go to the mall".
It sounds weird saying that, sounds too normal of a thing for someone so messed up to be doing. It's just strange. It's basically like saying something like my grandmother is going cliff diving. At that I smiled, it's been days since I smiled I realized. Life has just been so shitty this week. What did I do to deserve this. Why does the universe hate me. First I'm born into an awesome family. Then my mother dies and my father turns into a psycho. Then I get away and I make a new home for myself only to be picked up by another Psychopath. When will the happy to horrible pattern of my life end. Well that's obvious, when I die, maybe then I'll finally be happy.
I decide to do some exploring after I eat breakfast. I start aimlessly walking through the house. I venture on the floor with my room first then I go up to the next level. There are many rooms hallways and corridors. Most of them are spare bedrooms. Some of the doors are locked, which draws my suspicion. I go back down the stairs to the first floor. I walk around there for a bit. Eventually I come across a very large room that has a large sky light and there's a pool with glistening blue water. I don't enter because I'm still traumatized from my last incident of drowning. So I simply stare at in from the see through glass door.
I continue walking till I'm back the kitchen. So now I know there's three floors. The top two floors are just filled with bedrooms. I wonder where Jace's room is. I presume it's probably one of the locked doors I came across. He probably sleeps in the master bedroom. I didn't realize how bored I was till now. There's nothing to do, then an idea comes to me. What if I go to the gate entrance and wait for Jace to get back. Then I'll see how to get the fence open or turn off the power.
I make my way to the front door and of course it's locked. So I go to his office so I can climb out the window again. And of course the door is also locked. When I look up there's a white piece of paper stuck to the door. In black marker the words 'Don't even try it'. That asshole. So now I'm mad I storm through the house and go into the kitchen. I grad one of the chairs and toss it at the window above the sink. Instead of it breaking the chair just bounces right off. Then I notice on the bottom of the chair there's another note. It says 'you're so predictable, p.s all the windows are bullet proof so you can't break them'.
I hate him I've never wanted to kill someone so much in my life. I decide to release out all my anger on this house. I flipped the table, broke the expensive looking vases, the picture frames on the walls I smashed. Anything in reach I broke and through. When I was done there was holes in the wall and glass littered the floor. Then I hear the front door open. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO" I hear Jace scream. I turn around and say "I hate you" randomly, it was the first thing that came to my mind. "Go to your room before I snap your fucking neck" Jace says his voice angrily dangerous. "No your not the boss of me" I say confidently. Jace storms up to me and shoves me the floor. I kick out at him as he tries to grab my legs. He starts pulling me down the hall and to a door. He unlocks it with a key. I see a stair case leading down, but it's to dark to see what's at the bottom. Then without warning he hauls me to my feet feet then throws me down the stairs. I tumble down and hit cold concrete painfully. He then slams the door behind me and locks it.
