Hey! Sorry I didn't get to update yesterday. My friends and I went to see The City of Bones movie! It was so Awesome! For those who haven't seen it… You haven't lived! Shout outs go to: Kvdm223, Serenity Shadowstar, AddictiveBooker21, luvmusic87, poisoned-_-rationality, Nekochan2604, booklover1598, StarLights145, MoonDust198, SnowQueen135, PhoenixFeathers246, Mrs. Eaton138, Mrs. Clace159, IridescentLight, Princess Karen 1718 and all the guests. Also, someone asked me who I would have wanted to play Clary and Jace. And my answer is Alex Pettyfer for Jace and Lily Collins for Clary, although jamie Campbell Bower did do a good job with Jace. Anyway, here is chapter 4!

Jace and I stared at the woman in disbelief.

"I didn't think that you should have said that so soon, Ms. Kinder," Mr. Nightshade said, his mouth tight with disapproval.

"They ought to know," the woman said. Jace and I looked at each other. Although Jace and I were together, we hadn't exactly made a plan of what was going to happen after the next twenty four hours. I suppose one day we could've gotten married and had kids of our own, but it wasn't like we'd mapped it out completely.

"You're insane," Jace said, looking into the woman's eyes, "Clary's only 19! And I'm only 21! We're too young to get married," Ms. Kinder was taken aback.

"Why, I thought you'd be happy, considering that you are together," the woman said. I watched Jace's hand curl into a fist. He was frustrated, I could tell.

"Well, we hadn't exactly drawn a map of our life," I retorted rudely.

"It doesn't matter. You only have two options. It is either you get married in six months or the children of your siblings would be turned over to social services. What will be your decision?" Ms. Kinder said. Though her voice was light and kind, the effect was the same as if she'd tied Jace and I up and asked the question by screaming at us at gunpoint. Somehow, Jace and I knew what the answer would be.

"We'll get married," Jace said. Ms. Kinder nodded in approval, before saying her goodbyes and left with Mr. Nightshade in tow. What the hell did we just agree to?

Since Jace and I didn't want to tell our parents we were being forced into marriage, we had to fake a couple of things. So, the very next night after the wretched woman appeared at our doorstep, Jace took me out on a fancy dinner and proposed to me. I still remembered it.

"Aw, come on, Clary. It has to be a bit dramatic," Jace said. I looked at him.

"Then, how do you propose you do that?" I asked. Jace got up and asked me to dance with him. I nodded. We danced in the middle of the ballroom, before the music stopped and Jace got down on one knee. I gasped and so did the majority of everyone in the restaurant.

"Clarissa Adele Morgenstern, I love you with all my heart and I promise that I will love you forever. Will you marry me?" he asked and produced a ring.

"Yes, Jace, Yes!" I said. He kissed me as he slipped the ring on my finger. Everyone cheered.

The next step was to tell my parents, which had been slightly awkward, but it seemed to provide them with a good distraction from... the tragedy. I still couldn't bring myself to say that they were gone.

"Clary?" my mother's voice broke my reverie.

"Yeah?" I watched as Jocelyn stared at me in the dress.

"What do you think of the dress?" she said. I looked at it in the mirror. It was pretty, but it wasn't really my type. And it had a little too much lace for my liking.

"Mmm, I don't think it suits me," I said. My mother observed me in the dress.

"You're right," she said. I looked around until my mother offered me another dress. It was a beautiful silk dress with short sleeves. The neckline wasn't extremely low, like other gowns and it seemed to be perfect size.

"This one," I said. My mother smiled and nodded.

"Oh yes, it has to be this one!" she said.

Jace and I met back at the house, where Jonathan, my brother was sitting on the living room, babysitting the kids. Cedric, as per usual, was asleep.

"Ah! So the soon-to-be newlyweds return," he said. Jonathan had been disapproving of the marriage, thinking we were too young. Although he'd been more understanding when I told him of why we were getting married, he still hadn't stopped making jokes about it.

"Shut up, Jonathan," I said, "I'm not in the mood," Jonathan looked at me with concerned eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked. Jace gave me the same concerned look.

"Just tired," I said. Jonathan studied my face for a moment, before nodding again.

"I'm going to bed," I said. Though Jace still looked concerned, he let me go upstairs without a word.

I stared at the ceiling of the room, willing sleep to come. Nothing happened. I closed my eyes and pretended that I could hear Jace reading poetry again, until it eventually lulled me to the drowsy realm of sleep.

I was in a cellar. It was damp and had a swampy feeling to it. Greenish slime oozed from the walls and metal things were scattered all over. The cellar wasn't very large, and it was extremely dark, making it almost impossible to see anything. I heard a muffled voice and I realized that there was someone beside me. I turned to see Carrie, bruised and bloody, chained to the wall.

"Clary!" she wailed. I said her name in shock. Then, more voices joined her cry, coming from the walls. They said my name.

"Clary!" an urgent voice said, "Wake UP!"

I hit my head into something hard.

So, there you go, chapter 4. Please tell me what you thought, since I'm not feeling very well and your thoughts would really make my day. Bye! And I'll try to post Clary's wedding dress on my profile.
