I love most of your reviews. When I was away, I was complaining so much about not being able to check my emails for this kind of stuff. But,
OneLoveOnly (Guest): What is wrong with a little bit of experimenting!? People normally do two people to make it interesting but I am thinking, what if it is three? That way there is more of a chance for the author (me) to throw plot twists. Sorry, but I told you there were going to be plot twists, so actually I am not sorry. Final thing. Alec could be bi. All we know from the books is that he is attracted to Magnus, but it never said he was only into men.
I love the reviews. The more you write the faster I update. That will mean a lot because I go to school next week.
He is kissing me. He is kissing me! I know this is wrong on so many levels, but like an idiot I kiss him back. Encouraged, he rests his hand on my hip and deepens the kiss. I don't decline and we stay like that for two minutes. Finally, my senses come back to me and I break us apart.
I gasp for air before I start. "I'm sorry, we can't." I keep my eyes to the ground, refusing to face him. "I ran away from New York because Jace cheated on me. London took me in. I cannot repay them like this. I especially cannot repay Thomas by doing the exact same thing that botch did to me," I explain.
"Is that the only reason?" he asks, but I don't know if that is out of curiosity or from being hurt.
I open my mouth to respond but close it. Is that the only reason? I want so badly for it to be so but I am not sure. Am I afraid? Do I have feelings for Alec? Can I go back and face everything?
"I don't know," I whisper.
"What?"
"I do not know," I say sternly and honestly.
I look up at his face to see it turn to stone. "Well you are going to have to find out."
With that, he turns and walks away.
-line break-
I pace in Thomas's room. Why do things always have to happen to me? I could have easily stayed here if I did not talk to Alec. Then again, I got information and reassurance that everybody did fine without me.
Ugh. I am still planning on staying but this trip has made it harder for me to. I just hope that nothing else happens.
Too Late.
I hear a small scream from a distance, but with my runes on, it is clear to me.
I bolt to the main building, or as I know the one the children stayed in when Sebastian came here. When I enter I see a lot of people looking up. I glance up to see three children thirty feet up in the air on narrow poles.
I roll my eyes. Of course some children just had to see if they could climb to the celling. Many young shadowhunters are like this but there is something off about this time. Before I can start to comprehend this, I walk to one of the edges of the room and begin to climb.
-line break-
Jace's POV
I sprint into the main building from hearing a scream, but someone beat me to it. I glance up to see dark red hair and a slim body climbing up to the three kids.
It took me a while to realize that it was Clary climbing up. She looks way different than when I knew her. When I knew her, she was a mundane who wanted to face the shadow world full on. So naive.
Sure, she was nice, and creative, and innocent, but it just was not enough. We went on dates but not many. Besides, I missed the feeling of having girls fawning over me. Being in a relationship put an end to most of it. It is not my fault that Clary walked in on me and, wait. What was her name again? Well, whoever it was, it was not my fault.
Now that Clary looks hot, way better at her job, is well-known, and is not a virgin, judging on the fact that she always gives that guy she is with looks, I wouldn't mind having her back. We would be the most powerful/popular couple.
It would definitely make me more favorable to the other shadowhunters. Yeah, I am still known for being a strong shadowhunter and being one of the ones to defeat Valentine and Sebastian. Being back with Clary, would be a huge upgrade for me. Besides, I have this theory that girls are more into guys that are taken.
I watch as she attempts to balance on the bars to get one of the children down. The only thing is, there is something wrong about this situation. I climb up after her once she puts a child on the ground.
Clary's POV
I make my way across one of the beams. My balance has improved over the years, and I am thankful. I get the girl's attention and she glances at me, yet what I see makes me stumble a little.
The majority of her eyes are pitch black. Promptly, it disappears, and she reaches for me. I grab her and make my way back down to place her among the other shadowhunters who are currently watching. I roll my eyes. Even if we are part angel, our human selves enjoy entertainment.
I climb back up for the other two. There is one in the middle of the room and one near the edge. I hear movement behind me and quickly glance back to see Jace.
I don't have time to argue with him, so I direct him to the one closest to the wall on the other side of the building. He nods and moves around me to get the little boy. Once there is some distance between both of us, I start moving towards the other boy.
As I get closer, I see that the boy is blonde and light-skinned, but his eyes had no light whatsoever. Unlike the girl's, his eyes were entirely black, like a black hole.
He turns towards me and stands straight, like he is not afraid of falling at all. What frightens me most of all is when he looks me dead in the eye, and the darkness does not go away.
"Clarissa Morgenstern. It has been a while since we have talked, but I felt like this was the perfect time to talk.
I swear I have never seen this child before. I tilt my head. "Who are you? I don't believe we have met before."
He shakes his head and laughs. "Not like this. You might have recalled killing my son though. Pity, he was such a good one."
The thought strikes me like a slap to the face. "Lilith? I thought you would have left us alone for a couple hundred more years. You should go take a break and mourn for your son in fact." It hurts to talk about Sebastian like this, but this is the only idea that comes into my mind.
He, or should I say she now, I don't know, shakes his head. "What way is better than revenge? I bet my son would have agreed with me on that one. So this is how it is going to go. Each week this is going to happen to a shadowhunter in training. One that is under aged, just to make sure the results turn out positive." Lilith takes a walks towards me. I stay as still as I can. "Each week, a child shall face the same result my son faced death."
And with that the kid's eyes turn light blue, and he loses his footing. I leap towards him as he drops and grab his forearm. Sadly, the momentum drags me along with him. Before I tumble over the edge, a pair of hands takes hold of my hips. The strong arms pulls me and the boy back up. Once I am back on the poles and secure the kid as well, I look up to see Jace's eyes staring into mine.
I quickly move around him and towards one of the walls so that I can climb down with the child. Once we make it to the floor, I stare up at Jace.
Why would Lilith choose right now to take her revenge?
How did Jace know I was going to fall and got to me before I did?
Are both of these questions connected somehow?
Like I said, school is starting on Monday for me so the more you review, the faster I update. Is anybody excited for the new Harry Potter book coming out? I know I am. I am trying to see how much I can reread the series before the book comes out. See you hopefully soon.
