CHAPTER 2
***CLARY***
"Wait... why would he want me? Wouldn't someone of higher status come for me? What happened to the Seelie Queen?" ,Clary asked her brother.
He smiled an evil smile down at her, but before he could answer, Melorin spoke, "Well, you see, it seems the Seelie Queen is dead, and power automatically goes to her second in command. Me"
Clary's head spun. The Seelie Queen is dead? She didn't know that. "But weren't you just a solider?"
Melorin smiled at her, "That was a useful front we put up, to avoid any assassination attempts"
"Who killed her?" Clary asked, stepping away from her brother. She didn't want to be near him any longer than she had to.
"Me", Melorin stated as if it were obvious. "She didn't see the advantages of allying with Jonathan there. Now we are unstoppable. Come now Clarissa. Let's go to my- our home.
Clary felt her blood run cold as she remembered why she was here in the first place. Would she just be a slave to the fairies? Or would they just use her talents to their advantage and kill her when they were done with the war?
Her brother shoved her forward when she hesitated and to her surprise, Melorin caught her and held her carefully, as if she would break if he made a wrong move.
He wrapped an arm around her and led her to a portal in the wall. "Come, my love"
'my love'? What did that mean? Clary's thoughts were cut off when he lept forward, through the portal.
***MELORIN***
In truth, he hadn't initially intended to help Jonathan, but when he offered anything for his help, his thoughts immediately went to Jonathan's little redhead sister, Clarissa. He had wanted to claim her for some time, and now was the perfect opportunity.
They stepped out of the portal to the special dimension house he had had made just for them. It was decorated extravagantly, and had a feel of royalty to it. Fitting, he supposed, since they were now the rulers of the fairies.
Clarissa's jaw dropped at the grand interior of the manor. "Whoa. This place is amazing". Melorin smiled, happy that he had pleased his queen.
"I will show you to our rooms. It is time you sleep"
Her head whipped towards him, makeing her bright, red hair fly around her face. "Our rooms? What do you even want with me in the first place?!"
He sighed and stepped towards her, wrapping his arms back around her, to where they had been before she stepped out of them a few minutes earlier. He frowned slightly at how skinny her brother had made her. He would remedy that later. "Isn't it obvious, my dear? When we win the war, and even now, we will rule over the fairies together. You will be my queen"
She gasped, but before she could say anything, he shushed her. "Not now, my queen. Now, you sleep", with that, he swept her up and carried her bridal style upstairs to their rooms, which consisted of a master bedroom, a bathroom with a Jacuzzi and shower *wink wink*, and an art studio for Clarissa. One of his informants had told him that she liked art, so he had that put in.
Melorin set her down on the floor and handed her a night dress, even though, if he had his way, she would never wear anything to bed. "Go to the bathroom, shower and change. I will be waiting out here"
Nodding, she went. After about 30 minutes, she came out, clean and smelling like strawberries. He pulled back the covers to the bed and invited her over. "Come sleep love. I will be here in the morning"
As soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep. He noticed how much like an angel she looked and just stared at her for a few minutes. 'mine', He thought giddily. ' all mine
Getting up, he went down stairs and back through the portal. He had a war to plan.
AN: do you like it so far? any ideas for what should come next? R&R
