Chapter two:

I must have fallen asleep during the ride to the Herondale Kindom. I rubbed my eyes and looked up at the window. I stare blankly out into the rich green countryside, blurred slightly by the speed of the horses. This is the farthest I've ever been outside of the Morgenstern Castle, but I can't bring myself to whoop in delight like I would've done not so long ago. I can only dread what might come ahead. The horses reel to a stop.

"Ma'am" the coachman says "We have arrived" I nodded at him as a maid came and opened the door. The Herondale castle is huge. I sit in the carriage and simply stare. Pebbles makes up the exterior, slivers of Admas, the material of steles, woven in between, giving the walls a small glow. Tall towers spiraled up, and I idly thought of the old Rupunzel tale. Too bad my hair wasn't that long. Large fields surround the castle, surprisingly mellow looking. Well, at least he takes care of his lawn. The castle was much more grand then the Morgenstern one, but it didn't have any effect of me this was still a prison. I get out of the Carriage and make my way to the castle entrance. People stare at me and it makes me feel uncomfortable. The Maid comes back. "I'm Poppy" she says. I nod my head and she leads me into the castle. It's huge and there are lots of picture hung up in the wall. I'm led through one corridor that leads to another then led up some stairs.

"This is where you will sleep until..." she trails off. But we both kinda know the answer.

"Ok" I say she bobs her head and walks out of the room. I turn my back and face the window. I wondered what he looked like? What he sounded like? His temper? His personality? I wondered when I would be able to meet him. I was soon answered when I heard a voice.

"How was your journey."

"It was good" I said without turning around.

"Are you not going to look at what your Bethrothed looks like."

I turn me head slowly and I take an intake of breath. Before me stands the most heartbreakingly beautiful man I have ever rested my eyes on. An elegant mess of honey gold curls sits atop his head, purposely styled to look as if he had rolled out of bed. His face was all sharp angles, toned and tanned. His gold skin was marked everywhere with several permanent runes, signifying his rank as a shadow hunter, besides being the king. Liquid gold eyes, the strangest color I'd ever seen, stare right back at me, piercing my skin. He reminded me of a flame, beautiful, but deadly. And I was drawn to it like some helpless moth. A dangerous aura surrounded him, a seductive mystery that I ached to solve. I force myself to get rid of the insanely poetic thoughts that were running through my mind and manage to walk those few finally steps until I'm right before him. I look up at him, far enough so I didn't have to break my neck, but it still required way too much effort then should be required. Why does everybody have to be so tall? His golden orbs look down. They meet mine and I look down.

"What can I assist you with" I ask.

"Well I just wanted to meet you" he said looking at me from under his lashes almost in confusion.

"Oh" I said

"We are going to hold a ball tomorrow evening Poppy and Maia will help you find a dress" I nod as he leaves the room. I sit down on the bed. I don't know what I think. I flop myself down and the exhaustion of the journey and meeting Jace seems to have taken its toll as my eyes slid shut and I fell asleep.

A/n:

Soooo this one was just about them Meeting and Clary seeing the castle. I did a lot of descriptive work so tell me whether you like that or not. Next chapter we will meet Alec and Izzy and Simon. And there will be a spark of CLACE.
