Meliorn POV
Today was the day we planned to infiltrate the castle where Clarissa was being held captive. Magnus, a few guards and I were going to storm the base and rescue my soulmate. There were six of us including Magnus and I.
We were traveling by portal to the forest around the castle so we would be undetected. Magnus went through the process of opening the portal and we all stepped through, silently creeping along the forest floor when someone stepped on a twig. We all froze, and stood for a moment, waiting for an ambush or something along those lines, when nothing came we continued through the forest.
When we finally got close enough to the castle and we did not see any guards around the castle, so we crept closer to the walls around the castle. We didn't see an entrance, so we decided to try and scale the humongous stone walls using our enchanted rope.
We were almost up when we heard a commotion from above us and below us. Guards were shouting some orders and we couldn't catch them at first. The commotion grew louder and we looked up to see two bows notched with gleaming silver arrows aimed towards the forest which we just came out of.
About three guards came running from the other side of the castle, who seemed to be chasing something very fast. As I looked closer at the blur which was running away from the guards, I saw two figures, one a flash of red hair and the other a small boyish figure.
Clarissa...
Clary POV
I was consistently screaming now as the drugs had taken effect in my body. The mysterious little boy had come in to check on me before the drugs had taken root. He had wiped off the blood, dirt, and grime all over my body and had brought me some bread. I had ate it greedily, and then gulped down my allotted glass of water. I had previously come up with an escape plan and as the young boy was cleaning me I whispered the plan to him and he had agreed as long as he got to come back to the Seelie Court with me with protection.
It was now time to act on my plan and escape back to Meliorn. Abigor came striding into my cell with a sick, twisted grin and a humongous dagger with a dark black substance dripping on the floor. I had watched him and he noticed, staring back at me with a dangerous glint in his dark eyes.
As he came closer I realized he had not known that the little boy had cut the bonds around my feet so I would be able to hopefully escape. When he was close enough I quickly brought my leg up towards his knee. I hooked my foot around the back of his knee and pulled. He fell onto me and I was able to get my legs around his neck and keep him down while the little boy came and pried the dagger from his hands which were clawing at my legs.
The boy finally was able to get it and cut my loose. He handed me the dagger and I hit Abigor with the butt of it on the head. His eyes widened and then fell closed, his heavy arms falling from my legs. I felt way better now that I was free. Seeing as I was tied up for a relatively long time I had to adjust to standing.
As the boy and I sprinted out of my cell we looked around furtively. Seeing no guards the boy led me down a series of corridors and out a 'secret' door. I could see the forest surrounding the castle and a smile broke out across my lips at the sight of nature. The moment of peace was soon shattered as I heard the clank of armor behind us.
The boy and I sprinted to the forest and when we reached the tree line we climbed up a tree and I glanced at the castle. Seeing a shock of dark, long hair I strained my eyes and could make out the familiar features of a certain Fae...
