CHAPTER 3
Told in Clary's perspective
"Speech" 'Thoughts'
The moment the words escaped Jonathan's mouth, I wanted to fall to the ground and cry. But some part of me stopped me from doing so. I just stood there, frozen and expressionless. I knew why he wanted me, and I was scared. Jace and Simon stepped in front of me protectively, but I knew that if we didn't give in to his demands, he would make sure that he killed every last person in Alicante. Then he would try to kill anyone that could possibly protect me from him. He would eventually get what he wanted anyway, at the cost of hundreds of innocent lives in Alicante. I couldn't let that happen. It was clear what I had to do. Without getting anyone's attention, I slowly took out my stele from my boot and drew a soundless rune on my arm. Then, I walked away from the protection of Simon and Jace and walked toward Jonathan. 'He wouldn't kill me after few gets what he wants, right? I mean, I am his sister…' I made sure that nobody would see me until I was next to Jonathan.
Finally, when I was at the little house, I took a deep breath. 'You will get through this, Clary. Just relax, and walk.' I walked out and stood next to Jonathan. I saw Jace's eyes widen in shock and fear and I immediately regretted my decision, but I knew it was the right thing to do. But even so, there was the possibility that I wouldn't make it out alive. I mouthed an "I'm sorry" to Jace and I couldn't stop a tear from running down my cheek. Then Jonathan grabbed me and didn't let go. "Ah, well done, Clary. I see you know me better than your friends do. Goodbye, now," said Jonathan slyly. And with that, he shoved me into the house. I shot one last look at Jace before I was pulled inside. One of his demons fixed the door and then followed us inside. Once we were in, Jonathan said, "Okay, Clary. We can make this easy, or we can make it hard. It's your choice. I'm going to lock you in this bedroom and I will be back after I finish… Well, let's just say I have some things to take care of."
"Are you going to release the demons into Alicante?" I asked nervously.
"Oh come on, little sis. You know me better than to ask that." Then he left the room swiftly, leaving me in a puddle of my own tears.
That's all I've got for chapter 3. Chapter 4 is being posted so right now so go read it! Thanks, everybody!
