Chapter 8: lost and found

Clary's POV:

She was sitting in a very comfy couch, and it was making her sleepy. The wing guy was sitting in a couch, oppisit to hers.

"Hello Clarissa. I realise i have forgotten my manners. Forgive me. I am lord Yadiel, and i am the king of shadowland, if you were wondering." he smiled showing her his unnaturally white teeth.

She stared at him for a moment. She decided she didn't wan't to wait. She would confront him with the question she had been asking herself the last 24 hours.

"What do you want from me?"

He didn't look annoyed at her forwardness, but then again, he wasn't the type of person who seemed to hold back himself.

"I am not sure, what you exactly mean, my dear?

"Don't call me that."

"My my, somebody's got the wrong leg out of bed today."

She mentally named him every curse word she could think of. She figured she was going to have to play his little game, if she wanted anything out of him.

"What is my purpose here?" she tried again.

Yadiel smiled at her, happy she was playing along. God, Yadiel was crazy.

"I brought you here, so you could become my queen." he answered.

She couldn't begin to describe just how much the mere thought of that, made her want to vomit.

"I don't want to be your queen, how about that?"

Yadiel's eyes turned cold and hard, and they were narrowing.

"Why not?" Yadiel asked.

Clary knew she had to be very careful with her answer. But she realised she had forgotten a important thing.

"What's shadowland?"

Yadiels features loosened a bit, at the change of subjekt.

"My country.. Shadowland is one of the most powerful places in the univers. The ruler can form the place as he or she wishes, giving him enourmes powers."

She didn't say anything. Yadiel continued.

"As a guest in Shadowland, just like your very self, you have a limited period of time. While your in Shadowland, your real body is dying. If it dies before you get back, you are permantly stuck here. If you die here… well nobody knows what happens then… To get back, you need to drink a reversing potion, at exactly 12 "o" clock. Clarissa, dear, you have been here for 3 whole days. The 4 is about to begin. Your real body is going to die, when you have finished day 5, and you will be trapped here forever, with me."

Clary felt the panik rush into her tired system. Trapped here? Forever? No. NO. She had to make sure that didn't happen. She didn't wan't to be queen of this horrible place. She didn't wan't to be his queen. She didn't want to be a queen at all.

"Why?" she managed to get out.

"I want you as my queen."

"Well, that's not going to happen."

"If i were you, i would slow down a bit now." he said, his eyes now gleaming of… passion? Ew.

Clary didn't know what to answer to that. She wasn't quite sure, what he meant. When she didn't answer, he continued.

"Your little friends are here, to rescue you. Because i odered them to. If you do not cooperate, i will kill them. Do you understand what i am telling you?"

Clary nodded, a lump in her throat.

"Good. Now, i don't feel quite safe with you wondering around the castle, when you still have a chance of getting away. We wouldn't want that. "

He sat there, pretending to be thinking, like he didn't already know where he was going to put her.

"Oh i just got a great idea. I will bring you there, after you have eaten some of this delicious food. It's such a waist if nobody eats it."

He gestured with his hands, to all the plates. Clary had to admit she was starving, and if she wanted a chance to get away, she had to be as strong as possible. She dug in, trying not to think about Jace and them. She hoped they would make it out of here. If they died here, she would be responisble, and she would also be heartbroken.

"All done? Good. Please stand up." Yadiel said.

Clary got up, feeling very cozy and warm. To her suprise, Jonathan showed up in the same second, and tied her hands together. They weren't underestimating her. That was really a shame, it could have made escaping much easier.

They went up and up of stairs. Then, they reached a staircase, that was twirly. Jonathan and Yadiel stopped at the foot of it.

"You continue up there alone." he said.

She didn't want to, but she had to. So she began climbing the stairs. After a while, she reached the top. It was a little room, decorated only with a bed, a mirror, and a chair. There were windows all around. She heard wierd noises from behind, and saw, that there was no exit anymore. No door. Crap.

She rushed over to one of the windows. She was 500 meteres over ground, at the highest place in the whole castle. Just like in a fairy tale, where the princess always was stuck in the highest tower. She tried freeing her hands, but she didn't sucseed with that.

She considered if she could jump out of the window, and climb down the tower. Risky, but worth a shot. But for that, she would need her hands to be free, and alot of nerve. Two things she seemed to be lacking right now.

She sank down on the floor. She was really in trouble now...

Just a small update ;-) well, no, but still :D review, please! :) i love them
