"Watch your step Izzy" Alec said from somwhere in the dark.

"Okay, okay, chill, i'm sorry, but i can't exactly se where i'm stepping. Is this Shadowland?"

"Yes. It must be. Is everyone here?" Jace asked the darkness.

"Where all here all right."

"Maia? Simon? You got here to?"

"Of course we did! The more the merrier!"

"I guess so." Jace mumbled.

"Stop fooling around. This isn't going to be easy. We have no idea of what's hiding in the dark, and no clue of where Clary is. We have very little time to find her, before she dies."

"Magnus is right. We need a plan. Dose anybody have a witch light?" Jace asked.

There was silent mumering as everybody went through there stuff to find something useful. Easier said than done, considering the pitch black they where standing in. Jace emptied his pockets in his hands. He had his stele, his cell phone and nothing else. Not much to work with.

"I have a witch light!" Izzy exclaimed. Jace couldn't se any light, but he knew he should close his eyes before Izzy let it shine. He closed them, and when his eyelids turned red, he knew they had light. Slowly, he opened them, getting used to it. He could se the others clearly now.

"Okay, that was great. What weapons do we have to work with?" Alec asked.

Jace threw out his stele, and shot an apoligizing look to everyone. He hadn't been prepared. Maia threw a pocket knife, Alec 2 knives and 1 stele, Magnus and Simon had nothing, Izzy had her whip, her stele and the witch light she was holding in her hand.

"Okay, we could…" Izzy's voice trailed of. "Somethings found us. Quick!"

She closed her hand around the witch light so they where in darkness again. They all silently found each other, standing back to back, facing what ever was coming. They could have used Clary now. The thought made Jace's fists clench tight. He focused harder, trying to get a better vision than he actually had. In the silence, he could hear the others ridgid breathing.

That's when the noices began. They were coming from below, making the ground shake violently. Isabelle opened her hand just enough for a little bit of light to pas through, giving them all a glance at the thing. Not exactly what Jace had expected. He had pictured a big slimy demon, with breath like rotten rats. No, this was more like in a fairytale. It was a giant maze. They where standing on a hill, so they could se it properly. It went on and on, and it was still growing, towards them. Very fast.

"RUN!"

Jace ran. But the maze was catching in on him, the roots smashing through the ground with almost lightning speed. He didn't understand how this was possible. It shouldn't be. He looked around for the others. He could only se Simon, Maia and Alec. He realised Izzy was gone, but he could still se. The darkness was gone. He could hear people yelling in the distance. This was bad.

"Isabelle!Magnus?" he yelled.

No answer. His heart was pounding, and he was breathing heavyly. The sweat was running down his face, but he had to keep running. He didn't what he was expecting, just some place they could be safe, meaning not getting sucked up into the giant maze, that was still devolping. Simon, Maia and Alec were still besides him. Jace could not do anything else but keep on running.

Isabelles POV:

She could only se Magnus running besides her. The others where completly gone. They where very close, and she could feel the heat of his body. Not exactly pleasent, since she was boiling hot to. And then, the maze caught up with them. A big green hedge grew up, right in front of them.

She screamed in shock and terror, trying to find a way out. But her and Magnus where already surronded of big green hedges from all sides, towering at least 50 meteres up in the air. All the noice that had been there a couple of minutes ago, was gone. It was totally silent.

"Magnus" she said.

He nodded. "This is bad."

"How will we ever get out?"

"We will. I figured out what Jonathan's purpose was with all this. You and me, were in the same state as Clary, now. Were trapped against our will. This place fights against you. It's purpose is to trap people down here, keep them here enough time, until their bodies in the real word, die. Then, we'll never be able to get out. We need to be quick and figure out this maze. The two of us, cannot hope to save Clary now. We will just have to have faith in the others.

"Yes. Your right" Isabelle said. She took a couple of deep breaths, calming down, so she could think rationally.

"If this is a maze, there has to be a solution to it. We'll find our way out. We will.

"Let's go right here, okay?"

"Sure."

Clary's POV:

She blinked with her eyes a couple of times, realizing she had a massive head ache. She was lying on a big rock table. She tried to get all the latest events to fit in her head.

The last rational thing she could remember, was her meeting with Jonathan, and the dark sticky fluid he had made her drink. It had given her nightmares. Many of them. The last about a big bewinged man. She shudered at the memory of the dream. She had a bad feeling that he wasn't just a nightmare. She had to get out of there, before anyone decided to show up.

She remembered being chained to the big rock table, but she wasn't anymore. She slowly got up. She wasn't feeling to well. Her throat and mouth were dry, she was dizzy and feeling very week. Her wrists and ankels wore marks, that proved she had been chained before;

Somebody had released her? Jace? But that couldn't be. If it was him, he would have been there. Telling her it was going to be alright, that she didn't have to worry. That she was safe with him.

She pushed the thought aside, because it was giving her comfort and a dangerous feeling. The feeling of being safe. She couldn't do that now. She needed to be fully alert, prepared for what ever she had to face.

She didn't have any weapons, not even a stele. That didn't matter to her though; She would get out anyway. She just had to be sneaky. She stood up against the table for a while, and when she felt ready, tiptoed out of the rooms only door.

She stepped out into a dimly lit hallway. There was a carpet runner all the way down the hallway, in a rich red colour. The walls where filled with paintings of kings and queens, and what Clary guessed would be royal dogs, hanging in gold frames. There were gold candle holders hanging on the wall. Big wooden doors apeared on each side of the hallway. Neat paterns cut into them. There stood a lonely gold and red chair, and the hallway was filled with statues on both sides. It was one of those castles from old times. Question was, where was she? Did they have castles like this in the states at all? Was she in Europe, or some other fancy place?

Why did Jonathan do this? It made no sense in Clary's head. Then, she became aware of the voices, growing louder, and the footsteps heading her way. She backed into the room again, and closed the door shut, very silent. She pressed her ear against the door, hoping they wouldn't check on her.

"How is the girl's body?"

"Not good. She has one, maybe two days left, before she's dead, and will be trapped here forever."

"Good. And the others?"

"Isabelle and Magnus are trapped in the giant maze. They have no chance of getting out of there. Jace and the rest of them got away, but not for long."

"I hope so. I need them all dead, soon. Although, the daylighter and Jace Lightwood would be interresting to study, before we get rid of them. Be sure to get those two here."

"They will be."

"I know. Kill them, and you'll get what you want. Now, i'll be going."

"I'll meet you at five, in the smallest dining room, for an update."

She stood by the door, until she could no longer hear the sound of there footsteps.

Jace was here, along with Magnus, Isabelle, Simon and Alec.

But she wasn't thrilled. They where in danger. She had just heard Jonathan talk to somebody, about killing them. They had also talked about her, Clary. Something about her body dying, and her being trapped here. But she wasn't. She felt okay, a little faintheaded, and thirsty, but okay.

Trapped here? Where? Where in the hell was she?

She realised she probably didn't want to know. She started her journey out of the castle, blending in with the shadows, hoping not to get caught….

Alec's POV:

He was tired. So tired, he couldn't run anymore. He looked at the others. They looked exactly as he felt. That's why they couldn't have been luckier, when the maze stopped, like it to, had reached it's limit. Alec fell to the ground, out of utter exhaustion, the others following his example. They sat there, gasping for air, recovering from the long run.

Alec painfully realised, that they where missing Isabelle and Magnus. They where in the maze now. And he was not.

It wasn't going good. They had already been split up, and the place didn't exactly seem to work with them.

"That was… scary.. When did we lose Izzy and Magnus?" Maia asked, pushing herself up, into sitting position.

"I don't know" Alec answered earnestly.

"They will be okay. They will." Jace said. "we just have to keep going now, i think it's important to keep on going. "Alec watched as Jace stood up, brushing the dirt from his clothes.

They all stood up, and began walking in oppiste direction of the maze. Longer away from Izzy and Magnus. He hated every step he took.

They made it, to some kind of forest, just before they where about to collapse. It was dead from all life; or so it seemed. They found a place to rest, under a big oak trea…. Jace sat down, thinking about Clary. Maia sat down besides him, not being able to sleep either. Jace wondered why. Simon and Alec where both snoring loudly.

"Do you think we'll get out of here alive?" Maia asked silently.

"I don't know" he answered. "Why can't you sleep?"

She was about to answer, when Simon and Alec's screams interrupted the silence…..
