In any case, I'm back on the PC…typing more chapters. Sorry for the wait!
CLARY POV
I couldn't believe my eyes. It was the same little boy who had been deprived of his soul—the same blue eyes, the identical blonde hair. He looked a little like Jace, and my heart pounded a bit at that. He was still crying, but did not seem too afraid of me. I wondered why. For all he knew, I could be another demon ready to kill him—if he wasn't already dead, that was.
In any case, I decided to talk to him. "I'm Clary," I said in what I hoped was a comforting and motherly voice. "Do you know where we are?"
The little boy shook his head sadly. "I don't know," he answered. "But Mommy told me not to go too far or else…" Without finishing what he was saying, he fell to the ground, shaking.
"What's wrong?" I asked frantically. But no matter how many times I asked him, I did not get even a murmur from the little boy. He wouldn't stop shaking.
"Everyone's leaving me," he finally cried out. "They all disappear!"
What did he mean? According to my eyes, he was the one that had disappeared, not…
If people were disappearing NOW, what did that mean?
"Can you take me to your mommy?" I said as gently as I could. "I might be able to find out how to get us out of here."
The boy, though cautious, nodded. "Just promise you won't hurt her," he said in his little voice.
I promised, but in my heart knew it was in vain. I had caused all of this to begin with—after all, that monster named Sebastian was my brother.
After a while of walking through the seemingly endless stretch of whiteness, I noticed a faint shape appearing. The shape was also moving. As I strained my eyes, I realized it was a group of people.
"Mommy!" The little boy cried in joy. His eyes shined again with the gleam of tears that had appeared before his soul was stolen.
"Jasper," the tall woman I assumed was his mother scolded. "You know not to wander off at a time like this, I was scared out of my life when you were missing, you bad little—"she cut off, noticing me. "Who is this?" she inquired.
"I'm Clarissa," I introduced myself. "What are you all doing here?"
The woman shook her head. I noticed how she did it in the exact same way Jasper did. "We just appeared here after a quite magnificent illusion; was that your doing, and will you be able to bring us back?" She smiled at me, expecting me to reveal the secret to my "trick".
I supposed since they were here, there was no need to hide the truth.
"Madam, that was no illusion," I said sadly. "It was a demon—one that you should be terrified of."
The poor woman gasped, and clutched her son tighter. "So it was not part of the trick when the light came and—"
On cue, a light sliced through the air. The people started screaming, trying to dodge the light. As I ran from the light, I had a feeling I knew what that light was.
Suddenly, I remembered. It was Tenebrius' light.
"Everyone, run!" I screamed over the horde of screaming people.
The light suddenly swerved, shooting towards Jasper.
"Jasper!" I screamed. I dove for him, but his mother was faster.
She had just enough time to fling Jasper out of the way to me, and then the light swallowed her along with other people fleeing. I covered Jasper's eyes as I watched, horrified.
My hand, stiff with horror, fell from Jasper's face. His mother was gone, as quick as she had disappeared when Tenebrius had taken her soul.
"MOMMY!" The boy cried. He started running towards the light, crying that it should give his mommy back.
"Jasper, no!" I yelled. "You'll die, too!"
"I don't care!" The little boy bawled. "My mommy's gone!" The light sensed this negative energy, and flew toward him.
It was too late—I knew that I couldn't save him. I'm sorry, I thought hopelessly.
The worst feeling was that as the light closed in on him, he reminded me so much of the boy I loved, still in Sebastian's evil grasp.
So, what did you think? Please review, I love reviews.
