Disclaimer: Cassandra Clare owns these characters. THANK YOU for all the good reviews. I'm so happy you liked it. Yes the last chapter was a cliff hanger ending. This chapter will most likely be a fight scene. Please review again and I hope you like it. Loverstory112 :)
When Clary was 12 her house had a bug infestation. It was beetles. They were huge and disgusting with shinning black shells and legs the size of her fingers. She was terrified of them. When she told her dad he yelled at her for being so weak but made her "learn her lesson" as he put it.
He gave her a stick and told her to get rid of the bugs by the night.
Clary had put the job out of her mind until afternoon came. She crept by the nest and held her stick out like a little sword. Putting on a game face she whacked the nest as hard as she possible could and watched as it tumbled to the ground. Time slowed down as Clary saw a swarm of black shelled bug fly into the room and darken the ceiling. She watched in horror.
These men reminded her of that. Time seemed to slow down as she watched black clad men pour out from every side of the clearing, hollering and hooting. These were not a group of normal shadowhunters though. They were part of her fathers army.
Her father was a disgusting man and his army was worse. They couldn't back down from the job once they had been recruited. They were branded with the eye of lilith on there left cheekbone. It was a pale raised and scarring mark on most of the boys faces.
She recognised one of the men. He was 3 years older than Clary and could have been a model if it weren't for his cheek. He was the man that guarded her bedroom door most nights. His name was Bruce.
And he was running straight for her.
Time sped up like a tape set on play. The others were fighting. Isabelle using a long gold whip slicing people in half and Alec using a bow and set of arrows to pierce anyone in range. Jace was using his sword or his fist to hit soldier's heads and chop of limbs. They all already had a circle of dead bodies around them.
Clary darted her hand inside her cloak and pulled out a crystal tube.
"Harmonay" she whispered as it pulsed into life. She swung it in the direction of Bruce hoping that it would hit. And when she heard a cry of pain she looked up in surprise. The blade was stuck in the shoulder of Bruce's arm burning the skin and clothes around it to a charcoal black.
"You bitc-" he started to scream before a blade shot through his chest. Clary didn't see who saved her before grabbing another blade and whirling on another soldier. She stuck the blade clean through his heart.
She swung it out again and caught a man in the arm. He cried out before lunging for Clary. She darted away- not before removing her blade- and pushed it down into his thick, muscled back.
Clary suddenly felt the heat of the battle increase her senses. Jonathon had talked to her about it before. The way shadowhunters adapt to the noise and movement to figure out their next target. Clary felt that now.
She sensed someone running at her from her...left. She turned around to see a burly man, head down, trying to get her knocked down. Just as he reached her she jumped, rolled on his back and onto the other side before ending his life too.
She was a whirlwind of destruction. A flame flickering across the entire battlefield, never staying in one spot. Picking off soldiers one by one, spinning and twisting and flipping. She was a force to be reckoned with and she could never stop. Not until every one of them, every single one was lying in a heap on the floor.
And she almost had her wish before she twirled right into a single pair of arms and looked in to fathomless black eyes.
"Sebastian"
So Cliff hanger ending kind of. I mean Sebastians got Clary now. Anyway please please review I really would appreciate feedback and maybe story ideas. Hoped you liked it and I tried to make it longer. Thank you for reading! Lovestory112 :)
