It's been a week since our little party thing and I haven't really done much. Lazed about the castle really. I hardly see Jace. He's up before me and stays out much later.
I rolled over in my bed before I heard someone enter the room and start shaking me.
"Pop-yyy" I said not wanting to wake up yet but of course it wasn't Poppy.
"No, it's Jac-yyy" he said Mimiking my voice. I opened my eyes to find him fully dressed.
"We are going out, Maia will get you ready." Before exiting the room. I huffed before reluctantly swinging my legs out from under the covers and onto the marble floor. just as I had got fully out of bed, Maia swept in.
"Maia... do you know where we are going?" I asked raising both my eyebrows at her.
"No No nopey No" she sings around me while fitting me into a new dress that I had never seen before. Once she had finished dressing me I looked at myself in the mirror and it hit me. I was wearing a white and black dress that rose up around my knees with almost legging like thinks underneath. The dress was tight but loose enough for me to move freely
"I'm going riding." I say matter-of-factly. I had gone riding once when I was young and my father and mother were both alive. Jonathon had gone over to the Verlac kingdom so we father had let me go riding. I remembered how magical it had felt. But of course father and Mother were dead and i have never been riding since. My thoughts where broken by Jace striding into the room. He nodded at Maia giving her, her cue to go. She gave me a quick smile before exiting the room quietly.
"figured it out?! he asks cocking one eyebrow.
"where you listening to us?"
"maybe, maybe not" he says shrugging his shoulders and giving me a mischievous grin that made my stomach twist. "come on" He walks out the room and I follow behind we walk out and before us are two beautiful horses One is black with white ears and the other is brown. This is Will he says walking up to the brown one, named after my great grandfather. And this is Jem, patting the black one, named after my great-uncle. Will is my horse and yours is Jem. I walked over to it and stroked it. A smile creeped its way onto my face. Both horses where saddled up and Jace lept onto Will. And then the whole world stopped one of the guards handed Jace two whips beofre leaving us out by ourselves. I stared at the whips. Remembering the time Jonathan had whipped me. I couldn't breath what if the riding had been a distraction and he was going to whip me. What if he was going to whip these wonderful horses? What if he was like Jonathan.
"Clary are you ok?" he slides off his horse still holding the two whips. I didn't know what to do I could run but he would catch me. I could beg. I could scream. My breathing became ragged and i saw flashing images of Jonathan and Jace both the same person both trieing to whip me. He kept coming so i walked backwards until i hit the wall. He raised his hands with the whips. I got ready for the blow but it never comes instead the whips clatter onto the ground. "Clary did you think i was going to whip you?" he gently moves my hands away from my face and tilts my head upwards to face him. "I would nver evr do anything like that. Why would you even think tha unless. Unless soemone has whipped you before." His face hardens as he puts two and two together. He brushes his thumb under my eye.
"Do you- do you mind if i look at where he..." I slowly turn around and he unzips my dress and undoes my corset. Ge gasps. "Clary..." he says stroking my back gently. "Why?" he takes a deep breath and quickly does up my corset and dress before anyone else can see. he leans forward his hands on either side of me. Forming a sort of cage. But I didn't feel scared anymore it was almost like aslong as I am in this cage I am safe. I look down at the floor ashamed of how I lost control but he uses two fingers to push my face back up. I can feel his hand creep round my waist and i take an intake of breath. He moves his head forward and whispers in my ear.
"I would never hurt you. Never." His lips tickle my skin. "Do you still want to go riding?" he asks pulling away from me slightly so can look me in the eye. I nod and he grins. He dips his head to the side of my neck and ever lightly presses his lips there before he steps away from me.
