Have you ever had that felling, where time just stood still. Where your mind is trying to comprehend what exactly is going on? Why me? What can I do to prevent this? But sometimes there is nothing you can do, sometimes all you can do is try your hardest but that still won't be enough. Hopefully, this wont be my case.

"What are you doing," I sputtered, whirling around on Sebastian.

"What ever do you mean?"

"Our deal was to protect them." If looks could kill, he'd be 6 feet underground.

"You think I'm turning them into Endarken," he asked looking shocked.

"You-"

"Little sister, I'm keeping my end of the deal. After alittle bit of thinking, I realized, that this would all be simpler if i just did it."

"Did what," I asked slowly, as I began to back away.

"If I'd just turn you into me."

"Let me go," Jocelyn screamed." You cannot do this to my daughter."

"Its not my choice. Besides, why would I do that? Everything would be so much simpler if she was on our side," Valentine said calmly. Him and all of Sebastian's prisoners were being escorted down the hall. He had just announced Sebastian's plan.

"Please don't let him do this," Jocelyn began to sob. Valentine continue to walk beside her with a straight face. "Shes my daughter. Shes our daughter. As much as you hate to admit you know its true."

"Watch your tongue." was all he said. They were coming up to the door now.

"I'll do anything. I'll make the same deal with you that Clary made with Jonathan. I swear to the angle that I will be loyal to you completely if you do this for me."

Luke began to argue when Valentine cut him off. " You swear on the angle?"

"Yes"

"Then it looks like we have our self a deal."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you"

I whipped my head around. It was Valentine. What was he doing?

"Do what, might I ask" Sebastian said, eyeing him suspiciously.

"Make Clarissa like you. It won't work," Valentine said, looking directly at me. He gestured with his eyes, going from me to Sebastian belt. More specially Sebastian's stele. What was he planning?

"And why not," Sebastian said pretending to not be interested.

"She has too much angle blood inside of her." Now he had Sebastian's attention. Enough so that Sebastian wouldn't know if I took his stele. I tried to think of a rune, of any rune. It wasn't working. I had nothing. I tried harder. Nothing.

"So," Sebastian asked, trying to see what he was talking about.

Suddenly it hit. I could see the rune now. It was shaped like a t with a x though it. I reached foreword, and slide the stele right out of his belt. He didn't even notice. All of this attention was on Valentine.

" No matter how much demon blood you put into her, her angle blood will dominate. I'm sorry son, but there is no way to make your sister love." Valentine said.

"Your lying," Sebastian face had gone red with rage. I could tell he was trying to keep a calm composer but it wasn't working very well.

"He's telling the truth," I mumbled. Sebastian whirled around on my. His eyes were darting across my face, like he was trying to see if I lying. He looked absolutely crazy.

"No. He's lying. I'll prove it." Grabbed the back he pulled me flush against him and kissed me. I gasped. I was about to pull back when I suddenly came up with a plan. I kissed him back. I felt like I falling down in to a black void, with nothing to catch me, just like I did back in Idris. But this time there was something else. I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I felt my blood run cold. I was enjoying this alittle bit. Actually enjoying. I'd rather face his rage then fell this again. Going along with my plan, I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck. With my stele in hand I drew the rune, fast. He pulled back, harshly, as soon as I was finished drawing.

"Clarissa-" he began to say, when all of suddenly he went ridge and fell to the ground. He didn't move a muscle. It worked.

"What did you do to him," Atamis yelled, stalking toward me.

"Paralyzed him. Only I can un-paralyze him" Atamis growled," And since I am queen of this land, and the king is unavailable at this time, im in charge. And I command you," I turned to the rest of the room, " To not harm me or my love ones."

Atamis stopped moving and just glared at me. I turned to Valentine," Why did you help me." I asked him.

He laughed," I didn't help you, I helped myself. You just got something out of it." I looked at him confused.

"Hand me the stele," he said.

"No," I answered, hugging it to my chest, not letting without a weapon is already scary. Valentine with a weapon is terrifying beyond imaginable.

He grinned. "Suit yourself," He turned to the Endarken and yelled," Jace." Jace immegred from the group of shadowhunters. " Grab the stele from Clarissa."

Jace, as fast a lighting appeared in front of me and grabbed my stele. I was about to yell at Atamis to stop when suddenly Jace put his hand over my mouth. He threw the stele at Valentine who caught it. I struggled against Jace's hold. He had one hand on my waist and the other covering my mouth. I kick at his legs but it was pointless. He was not going to let go.

"Thank you Jace," Valentine said. He walked past to in between the two thrown s were the immortal cup sat. He drew a rune on it. I couldn't see it. Suddenly all the Endarken seemed to changed, the whole demeanor. The spines striated and looked foreword blankly, there eyes like glass.

"Hello my puppets. I am your king for the time being" Valentine paused then grinned saying,"Until you become useless to me."

"Atamis," Valentine said formally," Open a portal. We have wasted enough time here already." He turned to use," Jace, let go of you sister."

As soon as he loosened his hold, I turned to Atamis and said frantically ," Atamis restrain Valentine."

She just look at me with a blank expression and said," Jonathan is no longer my master. So neither are you." She turned around and walked the nearest wall and began to conjure up a portal. Not with a stele but with an enchantment.

"Endarken, grab the prisoners," Valentine said. They encircled my family and friends. There were so many of them that I couldn't even see my friends. I heard Jocelyn yell," You broke our deal."

"What deal?" I asked him.

He ignored me," I completed our deal. You didn't say what I had to do after, all that I had to do was prevent him from turning her."

"What are you talking about"

"Endarken, grab Clarissa. Use force if you have to. Jace follow me. I was about to argue when all of suddenly, the Endarken dove for me and everything went black.

...

Idris was ruined. The once beautiful empire that toward above all, that glistened at night with witch lights. Before, when it was attacked by demons, it was bad. But not like this. Not like this at all. Then, there were people running for life, and the city still managed to be alive, the shadowhunters still managed to prevail, still had a fighting chance. But this was just... to terrible to describe. The city was empty , dead. Everyone was either dead, with the wounded, or trapped in there house by the Endarken.

I could see this all from my spot in the tower. I woke up here two days ago. Food I carried up though a little elevator. I felt like Rapunzel. But instead of my prince being there for me, he was under a dark spell. And instead of having my hair to climb down with, I had nothing. With no clue whats going on, I've been thinking the worst had happened. What if Valentine killed my friends and family? What if Jace was dead? What if he'd killed Luke? The lightwoods?

All I had up here was a small cot, and a blanket. I've been getting bread and really crappy water. Six months ago I was living a perfectly fine life, with Jocelyn, Luke and Simon. I was happy. What if Valentine never found us? I shouldn't think that. I would have never met Jace, Izebelle. But I also wouldn't have met Hodge, Valentine, Sebastian...

I was broken from my thoughts as I heard a crash from beloved. There was 4 barred windows in my room. From what I could tell I was in the middle of Idris. This must be some cruel joke. From what I could tell, Valentine had taken all the shadow hunters from the institutes and brought them here. Yesterday there was kill off. I got an invitation sent up to me along with my food. They were making downwolders fight underworlds right against each other. The clan that won got to stay alive. In the end, Valentine killed them all.I saw it from my window.

For some reason, I was crying. Tears pored down my face it wasn't suppose to be like this.

"Nothing is worth your tears," said a voice from behind me. It was Jace.

"Jace," I breathed, smiling. It was him the real him. I just knew it.

"Its me Clary," he started to cry. I stood up and ran across the room and fell into his arms and began to cry. And he held me. We sat on my bed silently. I had so many questions, but I didn't want to ruin the moment. I cried about my lost home, I cried about my old life, my new life, I cried that this moment would soon end, I cry that my brother could not be safe. I cried for so many reasons. And Jace cried to. He whispered "I know" over and over as we rocked back and forth in each others arms. It was so sad yet perfect. But all good things come to an end.

Jace pulled away, and gave me a small smile." Where were you? Whats happened? Is everyone alright," I asked.

"Valentine removed the curse. Temporarily. I'm so sorry Clary. That wasn't me. I'll never be able to forgive myself for him. He was Sebastian's twin. I'm so sorry, Clary," he took a deep breath," Valentine brought all the shadowhunters here. They either pleaded there alliance or he would kill them. Hes not turning them into Endarken. Once Valentine gets the city under control, hes going to destroy the mortal cup along with the Endarken. Everyone's saft. I know that. I dont know about Luke. I know Valentine is keeping Jocelyn under lock and keep but I dont know where."

I whipped my eyes sitting up, and took a deep breath. I took a deep breath, and cleared my head." How did you get up here."

He looked away." Valentine sent me retrieve you. It was either me or a three headed demon." So Valentines using demons now.

"What about Sebastian." I asked. He couldn't have woken up. Could he?

"Thats why Valentine sent me. So you could wake him up."

Great.

"Why would I do that."

"I don't know. But we got to go before he sends someone to get us." He had a point. We stood up. He walked over to a empty wall and began to draw a portal rune. I stood next to him as the portal began to open. I grabbed his stele from him. I can't let Sebastian wake up. I wouldn't.

"I'm sorry Jace," he looked at me confused, then realized what I was doing." Clary n-" he began to say just as I pushed him though. I stood there for a moment. I was about to be on the run from the devil himself. I jumped though. God bless me

Wow! So intense! Valentine now rules the world. Where there be any where she can go where he wont find out. Find out in the next chapter called 'Run Clary, Run'
