Hey guys! Ok so I know I have no excuse for why I haven't posted anything at all but I promise I have tons of this writing just waiting to be put online so I thought I would put up chapter 4! This one just has to do with Sebastian and Clary so enjoy! Please review! I love getting feedback from my readers!
Waves of fire cascaded throughout the forest floor. Clary kept running. She would not stop. She had to keep moving forward. An immense inevitable magnetic pull drew her closer and closer to something she didn't even know she was looking for. Bodies littered the ground of fallen shadow hunters that had fought in battle and failed. Familiar faces of friends and family members that had fallen looked up at her with closed eyes; Luke, Jocelyn, Simon, Alec, Isabelle, Magnus, Marysle and Robert Lightwood. All people she had cared for and loved dearly. All but one.
Jace. Looking frantically, Clary saw a slim figure perched high on a hill freshly stained with shadow hunter blood. She raced up there only to find a familiar face grin a wicked smile. Sebastian. Her brother wore black shadow hunter fighting gear and held a familiar object in his hand. The Morgenstern ring Jace had given to her. And it was covered in blood.
"Behold my beloved sister, now we can watch this world burn to ashes and nothing can get in our way." Clary looked up at his burning black eyes and nodded, taking the ring in her hand and feeling the strong magnetic pull it had given her while placing it on her finger. Blood instantly covered her hands and dripped down onto the grass below.
It was only then that she realized the grass below her began to burn wherever the blood touched it and watched as the whole world enveloped in flames.
Clary awoke gasping and panting, not seeming to get enough air into her lungs. Her body was on fire and she could feel the sweat protruding down her forehead. Temporarily disoriented and unaware of the figure sitting in the armchair in front of her, she jolted awake at the words,
"Having a nightmare little sis? I do hate it when vivid dreams like those wake us in the most uncomfortable manner." Sebastian grinned and looked at her with eyes of a hunter waiting for his prey to strike.
Quickly the events of the past few days came rushing back to Clary like a wave crashing over the sand. Sebastian kidnapping her, the rune of silence placed on her arm, the weak fight she attempted, her head throbbing from the oak tree, and then…darkness.
"Like the room?" he questioned while flipping something in the palm of his hand back and forth.
The room was enormous. White walls led up to a high ceiling with one window looking up into the sky filling it with colors of blues and whites. She laid in a huge wooden bed covered in white sheets and white blankets. Two black armchairs stood in front of her, one her brother sat in while the other was left empty. A stone fireplace lined the far right wall next to a leather sofa and cream coffee table. The flames strangely kept the room warm and inviting…..until she remembered who was sitting five feet away from her.
"I thought it would be nice for you to have one last nice thing to look at for a while before things get...well, let's just say, extremely harder for you," he grinned.
"Go to hell." Clary wasn't even sure that the words actually made a sound coming out of her mouth but they must've, seeing her brother's eyes darken at the comment.
"I see the silencing rune I put on you has worn off. What a pity really. For that matter, your useless dark remarks make no indifference to me. You'll be at my side eventually and then it won't matter at all."
Clary jumped, trying to free herself off the bed and place a blow to her brother's stomach but was pulled back harshly by something that chained her left arm to the bed. A searing pain burned her wrist and she cried out in agony.
"Don't bother," he pointed out at the chain, clearly annoyed at the blood that dripped from her wrist and down onto the white sheets, "Demon metal, burns anyone's skin if they try to break free of it. Obviously, you're too stupid to be smart and stay put."
"You bastard," Clary spat at him and gripped her burned wrist tightly, "The Clave will find you and kill you and Jace and everyone in the whole goddamn Institute will hunt you down and burn your body so no one-"
"Ahh, as great as that sounds sis, I don't think that's going to happen. In fact, I don't think any of that is going to happen because no one in a hundred mile radius can even touch us. Not even if they wanted to." He smiled like the devil himself and in that instant, Clary wanted to slap him in the face.
"Why don't you just kill me? Why not just get it over with? Why keep me alive and bring me to this place?" she looked at him with pure hatred.
"Because little sis," at that moment he walked towards her and she noticed the thing he had been flipping through back and forth in between his palm: the Morgenstern ring. Absentmindedly, she reached up at her neck where it usually hung around a silver chain that she wore every single day since the day Jace had given it to her. "like I said before; there are far worse things than death, and I will do them all to you," she felt his lips brush her ear, "and you will like it."
Pease review! :)
