My captor had golden blond hair almost like my brother and father but a tad bit darker. His eyes glowed in the darkness. They were unlike anything I had ever seen and that… that was saying something. Jonathan's eyes were similar but they instead of golden were pitch black. If you stared into them long enough you would eventually
Lose yourself ( they had this strange ability to pull you in and make you never want to look away). These eyes were different they were golden like the sun and if you stared into them long enough well I don't know what happened. The eyes glowed so brightly that I couldn't look at them for too long. The eyes belonged to a golden body. Everything about my captor seemed to be golden. We stared at each other for the longest time and probably wouldn't have stopped if it Hadn't been for the voice. "Jace you got one good job." We both looked over at the voice. It belonged to one of the black haired shadowhunters I had seen chasing after my father and brother. Behind him there was another girl. At first glance I noticed that she had black hair like the boy but where he had eyes the color of the bluest sky she had eyes like dirt. "Yeah I got one. Did you get the others?" Before the boy could talk though the girl interjected "no they ran off. But I saw valentine mouth something up the girl." She spat out my father's name like it was Poison. They all turned their eyes on me. "Well is it true?" Jace asked. Instead of replying I spat in his face. He dropped me in attempts to get the saliva out of his eyes. I scrambled to my feet and ran under my bed. I heard footsteps and then a hand reached under the bed. When it couldn't feel anything ( I had squeezed myself into the far corner) it tried again at the foot of the bed. When it still didn't work he pulled his arm away. I reach up under my mattress and pulled out a seraph blade. "Raphael." I whispered. The blade glowed to life. I looked back to the edges of the bed. Jace ducked his head down and without thinking I cut him across the face. Swearing he straightened up and backed away. I heard someone ask him if he was alright. Jace replied with "she cut me….she cut me." "Here come here I'll give you an iratze." "Thanks Alec.. izzy do you think you can get her out." With a sigh the girl who I guessed was izzy got on her hands and knees and looked under. I pointed the blade at her. "Woah woah careful there. I'm not going to hurt you." I narrowed my eyes and inched the blade a bit closer to her. All of a sudden the bed was lifted up. I looked to see Jace and the other boy whom I took to be Alec standing there. While I was staring at them I didn't notice that izzy had taken the advantage and yanked the blade out of my hand. Then she grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet. I tried to yank my arm out of her grasp but the girl's grip was surprisingly strong. I struggled as she pulled me to the door. I rooted myself in the doorway making it impossible for izzy to move forward without losing her grip. Sighing she looked behind me. I looked over my shoulder and saw jace approach me. In his hand he held a stele. He grabbed me by the shoulders and drew a rune. Instantly I felt sleepy. Looking up at him through half closed eyes I asked "what did you draw?" "A somno rune or knockout/sleep rune." He said matter of factly. Then I saw nothing but black. I was half aware of someone's hands catching my fall.
When I awoke I thought I was still asleep. There wasn't anything but black. But as my eyes adjusted I realized I was in fact in a room. There was one tiny window with vertical bars. The walls were concrete. One wall facing north crisscrossed with bars. I ran to the bars and looked through. There was a hallway with torches. I noticed that against the back wall there was a slumped figure. "Hey,... hey you." At my voice it looked up. "So the sleeping beauty has awaken." It said. I recognized the voice immediately. He got up and in the torch light his hair shone like the sun. I hissed in reply. "Where am I where did you bring me?" "I brought you home Clarissa morgenstern." I hissed "my home is in idris." "Oh but only for six years have you lived in idris…. we are in New York. Look out the window. Is it how you remember?" Doing as he said I looked out the window and saw blue skies and green grass. Beyond that was buildings. I gasped it was everything I remembered. I turned around and looked at him. He must have found something very amusing in my expression because he doubled over with laughter. I scowled at him. Then I ran across the room and kicked him in the side. Or tried to anyway. Before my foot could make impact he was on my left holding my foot suspended in the air. And like anyone whose foot was held up I started to lose my balance. He dropped my foot before I could fall over. "I would think twice next time before you try that again." He whispered in my ear. I shuddered and pulled away. I went and sat on the musty thing they called a bed. Scowling I crossed my arms and laid down my back to him. I heard the door open and a shadow fell across my body. I looked up and saw jace right there smirking.
"What do you want?" "Are you hungry?" "Why do you care?" "Because I need to keep you alive so we can question you." "On whose orders?" I said without no sarcasm. "Mine." A new voice sounded. Jace and I both looked up. In the doorway stood a small but bossy looking woman. She had black hair and blue eyes. Her skin was pale and covered by scars of old and new runes. I realize that she must be Alec and izzy's mother. "Maryse." Jace said with a great amount of respect. "Jace I think Alec said something about Going out. He left already." "Shit," He ran to the door but stopped and turned,"wait I can't leave it's my watch and…." "I'll take your watch now go." Maryse said making shooing motions at him. Laughing he ran out. Maryse turned back to me. "So you are clarissa Morgenstern?" "Last time I checked i was." I said. Maryse sighed. "So are you hungry?" "Maybe I am maybe I'm not, why would you want to know?" "I need to question you about your father and brother." "Well good luck with that there is no way I will and don't you think about bringing those creepy brothers here with their stupid sword. They will not get anything from me and neither will you. Besides valentine wouldn't tell us anything about where we were going or why. It wasn't until you're three hooligans captured me that he really showed he cared about us. It has always been that way. Whenever we go someplace he never tells us until there's someone dead at jonathan's feet." I knew I should stop talking but I couldn't. Before I could say anything more I slapped my hands over my mouth. I looked at Maryse and saw that she was surprised. Then she smirked and said "thanks that will be all. I'll make sure you will be…. rewarded." She left.
