Don't own anything that is familiar to Mortal Instruments~


A Symbol of Hope

Chapter 11

She looked over her subjects, watching them dance and laugh with no care i the world. Her regalia put her above all of these party-loving fairies. She was the Queen, the Seelie Queen to be exact.

With that serene smile on her face, the Seelie Queen rose from her throne, causing everything to still into silence. Her eyes pierced everyone in that room. They shined like grey pearls, blank and unfeeling unless they turned a deep, dark black. She walked down the steps, her footsteps echoing faintly against the walls.

Everyone bowed and stepped out of her way as she walked across the room. She turned before the door of her room. Once again sweeping gaze across it. With an elegant sweep of her hand, the music started again. The scene resumed, only the queen had moved from her perch.

The door shut silently behind her, creating silence in the Seelie Queen's bedchambers. She glided forward, black hair glistening in her magic. The air hummed, anticipating something in the wake of the Queen.

The room then went dark, the only light shining from a white ball. The Seelie Queen glided closer, clothes flying with an unseen power. "Show her to me..." Merely a whisper, but it was a command that the power respected and knew very well.

The fog within the mirror swirled slowly, then dissipated with a shower of color. There was a woman sitting leisurely on a plane, sipping at a warm cup of tea. The Seelie Queen then petted the ball, a small smile gracing her face. The woman in the ball froze, her eyes flitting up to seemingly make contact with the Seelie Queen.

The Queen herself missed having those blues, no matter if they were dull or not. THe sweet smile turned into a malicious smirk. 'No matter,' she thought. 'My pearls suit me much better anyways.'

The ball shattered, distorting into a reflection of the queen before they melted into the atmosphere. The room turned light again, showing that nothing had changed with the time she spent in her looking glass.

She could almost feel the worry her magic had, but she calmed it down. her gaze then turned to where the looking glass once was. "My daughter, my precious daughter... your time is close, oh so very close." She hummed in happiness. "Do no worry, my Victoria, you will have your turn on the throne of fairies."


And that's where I'm ending this very short chapter :D Trust me, this is so important you would not BELIEVE the importance this chapter holds xP Also, lots of hints if you can figure it out~

So, lots of questions will be answered, so I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and the last one. However, I would like to see some reviews telling me what they think and how to improve my writing :3

A/N: I won't be updating until I have finished writing a chapter, so once chapter 14 is finished, I will put up chapter 12 :)
