Authors Note: What ever happens to Sebastian doesn't happen to Jace. Also, I decided to make this a Clace story, with a little bit of Clabastian here and there.
Everything was quiet for a moment. Then Maryse whispered, "What does this mean?"
"Idris has fallen."
I felt like i was on a cloud. Like the whole world below me didn't matter, everything below me could screw it. I remember felling like this before. Multiple time's. But one stuck out to me. I don't remember how long ago it was. I don't even know what time it is now. All I remember was me and Jace training in the park, when it started raining so me and Jace took shelter under the trees. It was like something from a movie, almost like a dream. We started kissing, the moment was perfect, and everything around us disappeared, and I didn't want nothing. no one to ruin the moment, like me and Jace were the only one's in the world and all that mattered was us. But then our cloud diapered, and Jace just pulled back shaking his head and left, and I was left, falling.
That memory shattered the blissful world around me. I felt like I was waking up from an eternity of sleep. Where was I? I was too tiered to comprehend my surroundings. What was going on? Suddenly everything came back to me. I sat strait up. A sharp pain went threw my head and I immediately fell back down groaning. After a moment, I sat back up. I was in a room. I stood, slowly, not wanting hurt my head even more. It was a small cell. In the corner of the room there was a small bucket. I guess it was for using the bathroom. Hopefully not. I was sitting on the bed, which consist of a thin blanket and a small pillow. on the other side of the room was the door. I was about to walk over, to see if it was unlocked, when it opened and in came Sebastian. He was wearing midnight black gear. I was contemplating to try to run around him, and lock him in the room, when the door slammed shut behind him.
Great.
"Where the hell am I." I asked. I could hear the fear in my voice. I wanted to stay strong, but being in this situation, it was really hard to.
"Your new home of course," he smirked, and he walked across the room in 3 gracious steps. he was right in front of me. I started to back away. He followed. He backed me into a corner. I tried to push him away, but he was too close. I couldn't move away. I took a deep breath. I don't know what I expected him to smell like, but it wasn't what I did smell. He smelt like boy and cologne.
I tried to move away again,but he grabbed my wrist and pinned them above my head. Again.
"I would recommend letting me go before i rip your head off," i remarked.
"Now that wasn't very nice, was it," he asked. coking his head to the side. For a second, I thought he looked like he was genuinely sad. But only for a second.
"Where the hell am I?" I grounded out again. He had a strange look on his face, like he knew something I didn't and I didn't like one bit.
"Hell,of coarse. Or at least a part of it," he said, backing away. He began to pace around the room, looking around with a look of distaste on his face.
"What do you mean." I'd rather try to kill him, but knowing that I'd fail, and have no answer's, was not worth it.
"It's kind of like Lilith's vacation home," he smirked, turning to me," I've inherited it. And because I own this little world, it's kind of like I'm god. Except all rulers need queen." He looked at me with a mischievous look on his face." You would be a fine queen, little sister."
"Your crazy," I breathed. Was he serious saying that? "Why am I here."
"Because," he said, as if I was the most stupid person in the world," Your hear because I want you to be." he paused, looking at his wrist. Was there an invisible watch there?," Oh look at the time. We're going to be late for the opening ceremony."
What ceremony? Before I could even ask, he grabbed my wrist, making it feel as if someone pressing a hot iron to it. He pushed the door and continued to pull me down the hall. It was lined with cells on both sides. None of them were filled. Wow. I must have been the one lucky one. I struggled against his hold but it was no use. We continued down the dimly lit hallway till we came up to a set of stairs.
"Where are you taking me?" I gasped, trying to keep my footing. He didn't answer. We came up to a long hallway and turned left. Everything here was so familiar, I couldn't put my finger on, but I felt like I had been here before. After what felt like a hundred twist and turns, we final came up to a wide open room that looked like... Idris. No, it couldn't be. Idris was bright and beautiful and this was.. the polar opposite. What was this place? What happened to it? Sebastian let go of me and I stumbled backwards.
"Where are we? Where is everyone else?" I yelled, beginning to panic.
"Jocelyn and Valentine are getting there room ready," he paused and gave me a up-to-no-go smile," And Jace is preparing our room."
I did not expect that. " Don't you think we a bit too old to be sharing a room." I laughed nervously, thinking about what Valentine said back in his room at the apartment.
"Oh no. Don't worry. We're sharing a bed, as king and queens do. And since we never had a childhood together we can play games together. Oh, it'll be so much fun," he grinned.
I took a deep breath, backing away," I knew you were a little crazy, but I didn't know you were absolutely insane."
"Why ever would you say such a think," he asked, looking like a confused child. As if.
"I would tell you the whole list, but it's pretty long. Here let me simplify that for you. . "
"Your point is?" he asked. I did a mental face palm. This crazy ass hat wasn't getting this though his thick skull. "It doesn't apply to us," he continued,"We're not human there rules do not apply to us. What we have is more important than any of that."
"What we have," I laughed," We have nothing. I can barley stand you as a person. Let alone a brother. How could I even possibly think of you as more."
Before I could I could even blink, he slammed me against the wall.
Not this again, I thought.
"You loved Jace, even when he was your brother," he whispered,"Me and you are exactly alike. You killed our father without a thought. Jace had sleepless nights over a man who killed him, and wasn't even his real father, while you didn't even shred a tear. We are exactly a like."
"That's were your wrong," I said, struggling against his hold." We are nothing a like. Your a demon. And I belong to Jace and there is nothing you can do about that."
"I could bring your Jace back. You know he's in there struggling to get free. To go home to his family, to be with my poor little sister. I can make that happen. But there will be a price to pay," he pulled a way from me.
"What ever it is, I'll do it. I promise."
"Be careful what you promise."
Before I could ask what he meant by that, Valentine, Jocelyn and Jace walked in.
"Ah, Father, you finally decided to show up." Sebastian grinned.
"I can come and go as I please. This is my world."
"Excuse me," Sebastian asked, completely surprised.
"I own this world, and soon I will own the shadowhunter world along with it. Don't get cocky with me boy. Now,move out of the way so Jocelyn and I can proceed toward our thrown," Valentine voice was rising.
"This is my world. Lilith gave it to me. I own, and I control everything in it, along with everything in it." I've never seen Sebastian so furious. he simply rose his finger and Valentine was flung against the wall. I thought they were on good terms. Doesn't he worship Valentine? Jace started to approach them." If you were smart brother, you would stay where you are." Sebastian growled. Jace stop moving.
"Sebastian. Let go of me this instant," Valentine growled. He was pressed against the wall, lifted a couple inches from the ground by nothing. Sebastian walked up to him with a calm look on his face. Angry, crazy Sebastian was better than a calm one.
"Your not so threaten now." He whispered.
"Jonathan-""My name is Sebastian," he cut him off.
I stood there shocked. What the hell was he doing? I still didn't get it. Neither did Valentine. I could tell he was in shock that Sebastian actual wasn't listening to him. Then a terrible thought came into my head. The only reason my mom was safe was because of Valentine. With Valentine in charge, there was no telling what was going to happen. Knowing how much he hated her, and how he looked at her, the odds of her being safe are very slim.
"Sebastian," Valentine repeated very slowly, as if talking to a wild animal," Listen. i know you want to rule, of course you do, your a Morgenstern. But you will not rule until you are ready."
Sebastian laughed. one that made me shiver." You have no power. Your worthless. Your words mean nothing to me. Save it for some who cares. i was raised to be a king. And Clarissa will be my queen."
"I will do no such thing," I began to back away towards the door. What was his problem? Didn't he know that no, meant no.
I expected him to say something about that he didn't care, but what he said made me wish he did."My dark shadowhunters infiltrated Idris, along with all the institutes, including the New York institute. "
I felt my heart skip a beat. The New York Institute? Maryse, Alec, Isabelle...
I swallowed the lump in my throat, "Why are you telling me this," I whispered, my voice cracking.
"Because I know that one day you will want to be by my side, but until then, I need to give you a little nudge." he smiled.
"What do you mean, be your queen?"
"Clary," Jocelyn shouted," Don't even consider-," he sentence was cut off as she was thrown against the wall, falling to the floor moving.
"Mom!" I started towards her when Sebastian stepped in my way, just like Valentine did to Jocelyn when I was hurt back at the apartment.
"Clarissa," he said smoothly,"She's breathing, for now. Be careful what you say, because that might change," he glanced over at our mother with pure disgust."Being my queen means you must rule, and you must give birth to our children who will rule after us," he took a step towards me," You must be loyal to me and only me," Another step," You must do everything I please inside and outside the bedroom," Another step." You must be willing to do everything I ask. You cannot try to escape. And most importantly," he pause. He was right in front of me." You must love me."
I looked into his black bottomless eyes. I would rather him just kill me, but if I die, so will Isebelle, Alec, Maryse, Jocelyn...
"Whats wrong with damning one soul if it means saving the rest?" he whispered. His eyes were so bright, i don't know how to explain it. He looked so excited. My stomach turned. I wanted to throw up.
"Your my brother," I whispered, my eyes starting to water. I had to try reasoning with him. If I couldn't... i didn't even want to think of the possibility." It might not mean anything to you, but it means something to me. I always wanted a sibling. Can you be just that, and nothing more?"
He leaned down so his face was inches from mine. I started to shake. I was so scared. I've been scared for my self so many times, that I might not live scared for my friends, but right now I was scared for my soul. "As you said," he whispered," You care but I don't"
"No," I whispered, wanting to curl up into a ball and cry. Why was I being so weak? I should stand tall. But I couldn't. I had one last thing to try. I leaned up and kissed him. It was like our kiss in Idris. It just felt so wrong. I felt like I took one step into nothing. Sebastian reacted immediately, he pushed me against the wall. My tears were mixing in with the kiss. I could taste salt. I put my hands on his waist. I inched my hand forward till I had my hand on the hilt of one of his daggers. In a split second I pulled it out and shoved it right into his chest, shoving him off me. I looked at him expecting him to double over in pain. But I was so off.
Instead of doubling over, he looked at the knife then me." Do I have to repeat my self," he said, sounding bored, pulling the knife out of his chest," I am the god of this world. Did you really think that could kill me. Nothing can kill me."
.God. It can't be possible. i just freaking stabbed the guy in the chest. What am i going to do? If he can't be killed then. I felt my throat go dry.
"So do we have a deal," he said, walking back towards me.
"How do I not know your lying? That they will be safe."
"Because you'll see them everyday," he answered. Suddenly the door open and in walked shadowhunters. it was about 30 or 40 of them. And in the middle of them was... Alec, Isabelle, Maryse, Magnus, and Simon. But wait, why were the shadowhunters restraining them? i took a closer look at them. they weren't regular shadowhunters. The way they walk, just the way the were... Then it hit me. They were Sebastian shadowhunters.
"Endarken," Sebastian addressed them," What took you so long."
"They would not stop struggling my lord," said a familiar voice. I felt my stomach drop. No. It cant be her. Please don't be her. Our of the cluster of Endarken came Amatis.
"Amatis," i whispered, taking a step towards her. She turned towards me and i gasped. Her eyes were pitch black. No. Not her to.
"Your friends will be next," Sebastian said, from right behind me. I spun around."They will be next to drink from the cup. And so will you. Never able to return to yourself. Trapped inside with no way out. You can make this right." he grabbed my hands in his. My eyes were still puff from before. I took a deep breath.
I said something I never thought I would say," i will be your queen," I whispered my voice cracking.
"No!" I heard a voice shout. i looked up. It was Jace. He looked furious. And for a second I could see it was him. It was my Jace the real Jace. For a moment for the first time in a while I had hope. But that moment ended when suddenly his look of fury turned into confusion.
"i'm sorry Sebastian, i don't know what came over me."
"Doesn't matter. Because now i have everything I ever wanted. A kingdom and a queen to rule it with. "
"So your going to let the shadowhunters in Idris go," I asked hopefully.
He laughed." No. Valentine and Jocelyn will rule there. And me and you here."
"What are you going to do to my friends," I asked.
"We are in need of servant here. Perhaps they can be of assistants."
i nodded my head looking at the floor. All my thoughts were jumbled up. I couldn't think strait this was all happening so fast. How could my life change so much in six months? I wanted to scream on the top of my lungs at everything. Right now I would have been in gym with Simon. I would have been laughing at one of his stupid jokes, and we would have been trying to come up with another name for his band. We could have called it the mortal instruments. Then we would have gone to Java Jones after school, and then I would say goodbye and walk home. When i got there I would have found my mom asleep in front of her half finish paintings and I would go to my orange room and fall asleep thinking about tomorrow. Instead, Simon was a vampire, instead of being at school I was in hell, and instead of talking to him about his band, I was talking to my brother about how I would spend the rest of my life with him.
"Ready to begin your rule by my side," Sebastian asked, his hand out stretched.
"Yes, my king."
Oh my god! The Morgenstern children ruling side by side? Jace breaking out of the curse? How can Clary escape? Can she? Find out in the chapter, called Idris Has Fallen.
