Clary POV
It's around 6 A.M when Jace barges rudely into my room. He harshly shakes me awake. But I'm so tired I've been staying up almost everynight till at least 1 A.M drawing and painting in my new little makeshift studio.
"What is it" I say groggily to him.
"its time to wake up its morning"
"Your point" I say stubbornly.
He glares at me before flipping my mattress over and causing me to fall onto the hard wooden floor. I angry stand up (did I mention I'm not a morning person).
"The hell is your problem" I say angrily.
"You have ten minutes to get ready before breakfast"
As he walks out I say "asshole" under my breath.
"What was that, I don't think I heard you clearly" he says dangerously low.
"Nothing" I say reminding myself to play nice, but when he turns around to leave again I roll my eyes.
After getting dressed I go downstairs like I've been doing for weeks now. Once I'm at the table we eat breakfast per usual.
"Were going out tonight" he says all of a sudden I look up shocked did I hear him right? I quickly dismiss it though he probably means outside of the house in the woods. But why would he take me into the woods, is he gonna kill me? I internally start to panic.
Whats if he hangs me from a tree?
He could kill me with his axe?
Or what if he just ties me up and leaves me there to freeze?
What if he just buries me alive?
i can't help it my heart is beating a million miles a minute now.
"Whats the matter with you" he says uncaringly.
"What are you gonna do to me out in the woods" I blurt out fearfully.
"Woods, what, no were going out as in outside of the fence, were gonna go to a club" he says giving me a dah face. I stare down at my plate feeling very dumb. I excuse myself and go upstairs. Once I get to my room hope, joy, and a million other feelings fill my body.
This is it, this is my chance. I can finally escape. I lay down on my bed and start thinking of different scenarios in my head of ways to get away. I could always do what they do in the movies and ask to go the bathroom and climb out the window. But what if the bathrooms didn't have windows? Ideas and questions like these filled my head for the next few hours.
