. He spotted me!
"hey" he yelled and I ran.
There was a medium size shed behind the cottage so I ran for it hoping I could hide. But what I found in there was even better
Clary****
My eyes were wide and my heart beat erratic as I stared at the ticket to my freedom infront of me. I big smile crossed my face. But I didn't have much time ol' Raspy would be here any second. I tried to approach him slowly as was able at the moment so I wouldn't scare him. his breath came out in heavy puffs through his gray muzzle. His body was thick with muscle, and his coat was a stunning white shade. I held my palm to his muzzle as he pulled in a breath taking in my scent. He nuzzled my hand and I took that as an okay. I tried jumping on him but I couldn't. curse my shortness! I used the small fence to get higher and jump on. He nickered and took small steps in his pen. I gave him a kick to his side and he took off. He galloped for the door just as it opened. Raspy stood there and it made the horse uneasy, I gave him another kick urging him to keep going forward. And he did, he kept his powerful pace towards our only exit. Raspy stood his ground until the last second when he dove to his left narrowly missing being trampled. Once we were out of the barn the horse ran faster, I gripped his smooth mane to keep balance. He shot through the trees like a comet. I felt like I was flying and I let out a laugh and a crow of joy, Im Free!
Maybe it was just me but this horse seems happier than me to get out of there.
I ran my hand over his now sweaty neck as we slowed by a creek. We had been riding for almost an hour. My breath was ragged and the horse was panting. I figured we have put a good enough distance to stop for a quick break. I could hear cars in the distance so we couldn't be far from people.
"Good boy" I cooed
Now what do I name him, I looked into his strong intelligent face. There was a name on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't make it into a coherent thought. He reminded me of someone. … jace
Maybe it was the fact that he was a beautiful creature or the fact he wanted escape from the walls around him, but he reminded me of him. but no horse deserved that name I thought bitterly. Well Alec made me watch lord of the rings recently and that white horse was Shadowfax.. I like it. It's fitting
"Your shadowfax" I said to him.
He nickered and I laughed. After he got his fill of water and I had mine I hopped on his back and urged him forward into the trees, but something stood in my path blocking my escape.
Jace
I showed up at Magnus's doorstep ten minutes later. I hit my fists against the door hearing the heavy thump. The door swung open and there stood Magnus is all of his glitter glory. He smiled at me but I had no time to be polite and friendly I had to get to clary. I pushed my way in and stood In the foyer. Magnus turned" OH please come in" he rolled his eyes
He went to speak again but I cut him off.
"Please I need your help, clarys gone and I need to get to her now" I said my voice cracked twice and I hoped he wouldn't notice. But the look of sympathy in his eyes told me he did. I looked at him pleading
"alright" he said
I wanted to yell with joy. But I held it in. I was going to her. I pulled out her hairbrush that I swiped from her bathroom and handed this to Magnus
"It has gold hair in here on top," he said quizzically " Did your hair with this before you came?"
Crap I felt my cheeks heating up, I wanted to be closer to …. Hell I don't even know what I was thinking. Great now I'm creepy too, ugh
"Will it work?" I asked trying to get the topic off my weirdness
He cleared his throat his face amused. "yes it will work, give me a second"
He placed the green brush on the table and opened his book on the mantle. He studied the page for a moment then turned back to the brush. He twitched his fingers and bursts of light poured out of them like fireworks, he was quietly mumbling words. A portal started forming on the west wall. I walked towards it and stared waiting for it to be done.
"Magnus can you hold it open for a few minutes/" I asked
"yes I will but hurry up jace I won't hold it forever." He said
I launched myself through the portal and the first thing I saw was the fiery red hair of clary sitting atop a huge horse.
