Hi everyone. This is NOT a new chapter, I just put this in here to clear up some things.
FIRST OF ALL….
I am sorry that my chapters are so short, as I explained in all my author's notes. I would love to make them longer, but sadly I don't have enough ideas for that. It would feel wrong because I would be putting too much things in one chapter, and I promise you, that when I write them, they don't look as short as they are on this website. And my chapters are fine, so I'm sticking with them. Not to make anyone mad, but these are my chappies. If you don't like em, don't read em. I try NOT to be a conformist. Again, I'd love to write longer, but I don't have the ability to put so much thought in one chap. :D
SECOND OF ALL….
GUYS! I AM NOT GOING TO STOP WRITING! I have a busy life. I don't have all the time in the world to write 'The Uprising'. I will tell you, I am working on my next chapter, and I WILL TRY to make it long enough to please you. I just want you all to know that I don't have my fingers glued to my laptop. I have school. I have homework. If you would like to protest that, be my guest. I will happily protest with you. If in some perfect world, there is no homework, I would write all the time, and give you updates every few days. I just don't have the time. I love you guys, and I'm really sorry.
AND LASTLY….
I hope you enjoy this surprise excerpt. :D
Ching. Ching. Ching. You could just hear Jace's unhappy fingers tapping against the blade of his dagger. I could tell he was mad at me, but what was I supposed to do? I'm allowed to dance with my fake boyfriend, aren't I?
The alleyway we were standing in, the eight of us, was narrow and dank. There were trash bins on either side of us, and the end was blocked by a solid brick wall. The witchlight I held in my hand illuminated the trash bins, making it easy for each one of us to see behind them. The half-moon was high overhead, and the florescent lights and the pounding from the bass inside Pandemonium could be seen and heard from where we stood.
Suddenly, something big and ugly jumped in front of me, swatting his huge hand to throw me into the wall to my right. When I smacked the wall hard with my right arm, and huge CRACK thundered down the alleyway. "Clary!" Jace and Caden yelled, and they were beginning to run to me when the demon flung itself on both of them. I yelled in pain, sliding my jacket slightly off to grab my stele. I carved an iratze on my arm, and instantly I began to feel better. I shoved my stele back into my pocket and yanked my Seraph Blade out of its sheath.
Carson ran over to me, yelling, "Clary, are you alright?" I shrugged her off saying, "Yeah, I'm fine."
Jace had gotten a few stabs into the demon, and it jumped back, black, thick liquid oozing from its wounds. The demon bared its teeth at Caden and Jace, growling and snarling as an inky puddle formed at his feet. Then, it surprisingly tackled Caden to the ground before anyone could move.
I heard a crack, and I screamed, "NO!" hurling my Seraph Blade into the demon's side. It began to crumple in on itself. But before it completely disintegrated, it spoke one last thing in a voice no one had heard for awhile, except for me. A voice that has haunted me ever since I heard it for the first time, three years ago.
"I'm back, sister."
Then I felt myself falling, and the world went black.
It's coming. I promise. And it's A LOT BIGGER THAN LAST TIME! Or at least I hope it is. Lol. Love you guys! Thanks for your many reviews. Keep em coming! :D
