A/N: Hey! I just wanted to say, that this chapter begins in Clary's POV, but it will be going back to third person. I thought I'd change the POV because from Clary's view point, I thought it would be easier to understand. Thanks! And please, please review! I'm sorry that the chapters are short, but I wanted them to end with some type of cliffhanger, but I'll try and make this one a little longer! Thanks! Also, I wanted to thank everyone who commented, and I'm glad most of you like this fanfic.

Lis Nars Book Review: I'm sorry you felt this fanfic wasn't original, but truth be told, I haven't read any J&C fanfics. This fanfic is mainly my version of how I imagine everything to wrap together and fit in at the end. I loved the ending of the City of Glass, but especially what the Seelie Queen said made me curious to write this fanfic about my perfect pairings and what not. I truly didn't mean to copy anyone else's fanfic, and if I have, I'm sorry. But thank you for bringing this fact to my attention. I always appreciate any constructive critisiscm. Thanks for your review!

aquamysticwriter: I'm glad you liked the little twist! I really didn't know who to pair Isabelle with, but I thought that if Meliorn went all head-over-heels for her, she would love it and htye would make a pretty good pair! Also, from the impression you get of him in the books, its quite possible that he would kidnap her! Originally, I was planning it like a betrayal, but then I decided it would make a good twist in the story! Thanks for the review and I hope you enjoy this chapter!

burning..: I'm glad you liked the story! Thank you for commenting! I hope you like this chapter!

Nightlife's noon: Thank you! You've commented twice! *Gives cookie* Thanks for the reviews and I hope you enjoy the chapter!

hptwilightgirl: I'm all for J&C romance, so right after this little dilemma is solved, I thought I'd have a small chapter dedicated to them! Thanks for the review and I hope you enjoy the chapter!

waahoo: I know this a little late, but thank you so much for your review! It was really helpful! I hope you like this chapter!

I don't have the time, or the space really, to thank each and every one fo you, but it really means a lot to me! Especially since this is my first fanfic! All your reviews have really helped me, and given me the confidence to continue writing this fanfic! Thank you soooo much! You all are great! Keep reading, reviewing, and enjoying! =D

Chapter Six:

Clary's POV

I stood in front of the Seelie Queen, my stomach churning at the evil glare she gave me. This was my entire fault. Why hadn't I taken up her offer? I was so stupid! This was the Seelie Queen! She was dangerous and ruthless! Once again, I was to blame for the predicament Isabelle and Jace were in.

I groaned inwardly. Isabelle and I had just become really close, almost like sisters. I still remembered that back in Idris, she had thought my presence was bad because I made Jace to reckless things. And even that day when Jace accused me of being reckless, Isabelle never denied it.

More than anything, I hoped this wouldn't change the friendship between Isabelle and me. I dared a small look at her. She was staring straight ahead, resolutely at the blank space in front of her, determined not to look at either me or Jace. My hopes sank. Just then, Jace's clear voice shook me back to reality.

"Let her go!"

"I see you've clearly lost your manners since the last time we met Jonathan. I remember you to be a very charming young man," the Queen said.

"I'm only charming and respective to those who command respect and deserve to be worthy of my charm," Jace said. I tightened my hold on his arm, hoping he'd get the warning and not say anything else rash.

The expression on the Seelie Queen's face was priceless. It was one of utter shock. Probably because no one had ever spoken to her this way before. Deserved her right though.

"Very well, we'll get down to business. You've been spying on my court, and you know what I want!" she snapped crossly.

"Actually, spying is a term that is used when one group of people is secretly watching another group of people to gain information. In this case, you knew we were here, therefore, its not considered spying," Jace spat back with venom.

"Jace!" I whispered worried. He ignored me.

"Clarissa, what do you have to say?" the Queen asked me, ignoring Jace's remark.

"My lady," I began nervously, aware that the entire court was looking at me, "I am ashamed of my actions in Idris. I apologize for my hasty decision. Please let me make amends. I would be more than happy to request Luke-Lucian, to appoint Meliorn as the representative for the Fair Folk," I said, hoping I wasn't sounding as nervous as I felt.

The Court was silent, waiting for the Queen to speak.

"Very well. You will be dismissed to go to Lucian Graymark. Once he has spoken with the counselors of Idris, and when they have made a decision, tell them to send the current representative back here. Meliorn will take the portal by which they arrive in and go back to Idris. Once Meliorn has departed, your friends will be released," she finished smugly.

I couldn't believe it. This could take weeks, maybe even months for the counsel to make a decision. Jace and Isabelle couldn't be left here! She knew I had no choice. I was trapped. I gazed helplessly at Jace and Isabelle, willing for them to forgive me, before running out of the Court.

Once I was outside, I called up Luke. After quickly explaining everything to him, he went to Idris. Jocelyn asked me to go home for the night, and I began the long walk to their house in silence and distress. The moment I got home, I was met with a worried Jocelyn and Luke was soaked to the skin. He was drying himself with a towel and when he saw me come in, he enveloped me in a wet hug.

"Clary! You're ok! I spoke with the council. Thanks to your runes, I was able to travel there and get back quickly. I explained how Meliorn had a change of heart and the situation you were in. They agreed to have Meliorn join the council. The other faerie representative was more than happy to leave. In fact, she's probably on her way back right now. You should get going. But, the catch it, that Meliorn will be watched to see if he is a trustworthy candidate. Of course, the Queen need not know that fact," he said, his eyes twinkling in mischief. "You better go."

I nodded wordlessly, embraced my mother before running out the door the Seelie Court. I quickly reached the lake, in faster time than I would've thought imaginable and dashed down the same corridor Jace and I had been in previously. I reached the Court panting, just in time to see that the other faerie had just arrived from the portal.

"Ah! Clarissa! How nice of you to join us! I take it that Lucian's visit was a success? I thought so, I thought so…" she said smugly.

I felt like wiping that smirk off her inhuman face! The back stabbing cheat! I controlled my anger and told her, "I take it then that Jace and Isabelle can be released?"

"Oh dear, no, I'm afraid not," she said.

"What?"

"You see dear, you still haven't fulfilled the deal."

A/N: Hmm...what did clary do wrong? You'll see in the next chapter, but menawhile, keep reviewing! Thanks!!! =)
