Chapter 8

Isabelle's whip was coiled tightly in her sweaty palms. She was astonished to see Meliorn to be the first to lunge towards her. At first she hesitated, Then time had slowed down. She threw the whip, it latched around his ankle, bringing him down to the floor.

Meliorn recovered quickly. There were more knights already on there way to the throne room. Soon they would be overwhelmed in a matter of minutes. She finished off the rest of the knights that were attacking her and rushed to help the others.

Jace, of course, was doing fine. He fought with such grace that Isabelle was jealous. So she moved on to help Alec and Simon. Isabelle noticed that one of the faeries had cut a long ugly looking gash on the side of Alec's left arm.

As they finished off the rest of the knights she quickly drew out her stele. Her eyes widened as she saw how deep the wound was.

"By the angel…Alec, Are you okay?"

He grumbled as he retrieved his blade from the ground and stood up.

"Its okay Izzy… I'm fine." He looked around the room and noticed that the fight was over and Jace was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Jace?" Simon said. Isabelle was instantly alert.

"And where's the queen?" Alec asked suspiciously, his eyes narrowing down.

That's when they heard a scream.

They rushed to where the origin sound was coming from. Of course Simon got there first.

Stupid vampire speed She thought.

They entered a wide spaced room with a large variety of books, the didn't know the fair folk liked reading. She turned and saw Jace holding a dagger aimed right at the Seelie Queens throat.

"Get changed" Sebastian said as exited the spare bedroom and closed the door.

He had given her a beautiful red sheath dress with black leggings and black knee high boots.

She quickly showered and changed into her new clothes. Clary stepped out into the hallway and her curiosity got the better of her. She ventured out into the hallways, not sure what she was looking for, or where she was going. Eventually she found Sebastian in what she assumed was his bedroom. She opened the door just enough t be able to peek inside. His room was a complete mess, clothes were strewn across the floor and his bed sheets were where everywhere but on his bed. His room was the opposite of Jace's. Jace. She flinched. The thought of him made didn't make her feel any better. She pushed the thought aside.

Sebastian was sitting on top of his messy bed reading a book. He didn't even seem to notice her in the room yet. He was wearing a black t-shirt with jeans. Sebastian's eyes were dark and menacing. He smiled wickedly as he read the words on the pages, almost as if he was getting new ideas on what evil things to put on his to-do list today.

Apparently he had just noticed her standing at the doorway. He stood up as he acknowledged her dress.

You look lovely Clarrisa, the dress fits you perfectly"

Clary didn't know what to say. She didn't trust herself to say anything that wouldn't get her thrown back in the cell. Instead, she tried for a smile.

There was an awkward silence between them for the next minute.

Sebastian eyed her like he was silently daring her to try to escape.

Clary noticed there was an open window on the opposite wall where she was. If she could only get past her brother…

Her thoughts were interrupted when she realized Sebastian had been speaking to her.

"…Lets go" is all she heard from him.

"Um, where?" she asked.

He laughed quietly. "We're going to train you of course, how else are you going to kill Jace Lightwood?"

Jace was so pissed off, he actually considered killing the Queen either way. He was tired of people betraying them to the enemy.

He stood there with the dagger aimed straight at her throat. His eyes were focused on her with pure hatred.

"I'm going to ask you this once more, and unless you want a dagger wedged in your throat, your going to tell us where Clary is. SO WHERE IS SHE?"

She didn't respond right away, which made Jace want to kill her even more. He shoved the dagger closer to her throat. Finally, she answered.

"Let me go and I will give you the answers you seek"

Jace glared daggers into her. "So you can just escape? Yea right"

The Queen took a deep breath and said "I give you my word that if you let me go, I will give you the information that you will find invaluable on your quest to save your friend."

Reluctantly,Jace let her go. The Queen regained composure,and cleared her throat.

"Your friend Clarissa has been taken to a cottage in Rome by Jonathan."

Jace motioned to for her to keep going. They were running out of time and who knows what Sebastian has been doing to Clary.

"Jonathan has been torturing her for the past couple of days, and she has lost almost all hope. You must hurry before Jonathan has complete control over her." She smiled innocently as if that was supposed to be good news.

"Oh and one more thing, The cottage has wards surrounding it. You will need the help of a very powerful warlock to get past them"

Jace stood there shocked, he could'nt believe that clary had actually given up. After all they have been through...

No Jace thought. She could'nt have given up that easily. She must be faking it. But a small voice in his mind asked him, what if shes not? Jace hadn't realized his friends had been calling his name as he stood there open mouthed like an idiot. He turned to his friends as he tried to keep himself together and said "Well,looks like we're going to Rome.

Well, should I keep going? Please comment any suggestions for the next chapter!
