CHAPTER FORTY-ONE — A GOOD PLAN.

Chapter 41.A GOOD PLAN.Clary's POV.“Are you sure this is…” “Shhh.” I hushed, placing my index finger on my lips. “Just a moment, please.”Although, I couldn't say exactly what they were talking about, but I knew that the guards were saying some things to themselves. Curious, I walked to the door to listen to what they were saying. Even though I couldn't see their faces because they were at the far end, however I could tell their voices apart. “The man behind the delayed appearance of the red moon has been captured.” — the guard who spoke to me earlier said. “And he's going to be executed tonight.” As his words fell upon my ears, my skin crawled with sparks of dread. Didn't he practice enough magic to hide himself or what? It wasn't even up an hour that he was being searched for and now, he's been captured? What in the world was Reggie thinking? “You should have just ran away when you had the chance to.” I said, hitting my forehead against the bars of the door. “Why did you ret

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO — A PROMISE.

Chapter 42.A PROMISE.Clary's POV.“Where are we going to?” Hayley asked, taking back her hands from me as she stopped walking. “You haven't said anything since we left the cell. All you keep saying is that you have to bring me to a safe place. Where exactly is that place?” “Do you trust me?” I asked, looking into her eyes. “If you do, then take my hands and let's go. We don't have much time.” If you're thinking of how we managed to leave the cell after Craig returned and caught us trying to escape, then the answer lies in our numerical advantage. It was easier to take him down since it was the both of us.However, I couldn't bring her to my home since Eric had taken my parents' hostage. Also, it would have been a lot better to have just taken her back to her house for her to hide there. But then, five years for me was quite a long time to recall the route.So instead, I thought of bringing her to Reggie's cottage. At least, she would be safe there for the time being. Reggie had be

CHAPTER FORTY-THREE — THE DOOM AHEAD.

Chapter 43.THE DOOM AHEAD.Clary's POV.“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Hayley asked, her voice laced with concern. “Yes, I am.” I said, spreading out my arms as I looked at myself. “They won't recognize me easily now that I'm dressed this way. How do I look?” For one, I knew that I couldn't wear that gown around anymore. It would sell me out quickly. So I figured that putting on some of Reggie's clothes would do. At least, that way, I would be able to take off the attention from me. After combing through his wardrobe, I was fortunate enough to find a black shirt, not my favorite color, but I paired it with a blue pants. There was no mirror around, none that I could find. So I really couldn't tell how his clothes looked on me. I was actually expecting Hayley to tell me what she thought. But she was more concerned about my safety than my appearance. And I could understand that. You don't come across friends who worry about you like her so often. “Just do what you have to do a

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR — DESTINY OR RESPONSIBILITIES.

Chapter 44.DESTINY OR RESPONSIBILITIES.Clary's POV. “Mom, I need you to believe me.” I said, holding out a hand towards her to receive the scroll. “I am saying the truth.” “Is that what the scroll told you?” she asked, her voice heavy with tears. “That we would all die if we allow Eric perform that ritual?” “Mom, you believe me, don't you?” I asked, blinking back tears. “Please, all I need you to do right now is to believe and trust my decision.” “I am trying to, alright?” she said, the words clenched angrily around her teeth. “However, you don't look like my daughter anymore. The Clary that I know wouldn't leave her family to suffer because of a piece of paper.” “That piece of paper is what's going to save us all!” I yelled, my eyes glittering with anger. As I realized what I did, I sighed and lowered my head. I didn't mean to raise my voice at her, but she was dragging the issue. I had to save Reggie too, but she was making things difficult for me.“I am sorry mom.” I said,

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE — A FRIEND AND MORE.

Chapter 45.A FRIEND AND MORE.Clary's POV.I sniffled, and wiped my moist face with the back of my hand. Ever since my mom tore the scroll, I'd been trying to convince myself that it wasn't over yet. But it was. Reggie had been caught, and the scroll had been destroyed. There was nothing to help me take down Eric anymore; none that I could think of. I leaned my back against the door and then went down slowly until my butt touched the cold floor. “You did you best, Clary.” I tried to encourage myself as I pushed my fingers through my hair.I said those words to myself, hoping it would make me feel better. On the contrary, it only opened my eyes to a million and one ways that I could have done things differently. As the thought crossed my mind, my throat tightened with tears. Perhaps, if I had done well to keep the scroll safe, then my mom wouldn't have found and destroyed it. “How could you have made such a mistake, Clary?” I asked, hitting my head with a hand. “This is all your f

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX — THE PAST.

Chapter 46.THE PAST.Clary's POV.I should have gone when Reggie asked me to, but somehow I just wanted to see Eric and confront him. I'd lost everything, so I had nothing more to lose. At least, that was enough courage for me to give him a piece of my mind. After that, he could also ask his men, perhaps Ryker to tie me to the stake and burn me alongside Reggie. That way, he would be able to live in peace, knowing that I wouldn't show up in front of him ever again. And fortunately, he arrived when I wanted him to. “Clary, please don't do this.” Reggie pleaded, with a strained voice. “Just listen to me and leave this place this minute.” “I am sorry, Reggie.” I said, with an apologetic look in my eyes. “But I can't do that. There's nothing more to keep me going. There's no way we can stop him anymore. So, allow me give him a piece of my mind.” “Are you out of your mind right now!” he yelled, struggling to break the ropes used to bind him to the stake. “Don't you love your life! At

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN — AN ACCUSATION.

Chapter 47.AN ACCUSATION.Clary's POV.I guess that was what he had in mind to do all along: to make me look like the bad person, and he'd succeeded in doing that. Staring at the pack, the murmurings became louder and this time, I could tell that their words were against me.I just happened to know even before I started to get those weird glances from them. You know those glances that make you feel cold all of a sudden? That was how their gaze made me feel. I rubbed off the goosebumps from my arms, and lowered my head.“You should have just listened to me when I asked you to leave.” Reggie said, in disappointment. “It was a bad idea to have stayed back.” Maybe it was. But I wasn't just going to allow Eric make me look like a fool in front of the pack. Of course, I didn't expect any of them to think that he could be lying. Whatever he said was the truth to them because they obviously saw him as their god.Although, I didn't kill her, but they made it look like I did. They bought witn

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT — A STEP AHEAD.

Chapter 48.A STEP AHEAD.Clary's POV.Yeah. I know what thoughts must be running through your minds right now. It's probably foolish trying to fight a lost battle. But I just couldn't allow Eric go away like that. I couldn't allow take the win. So, I had to say something; anything that would hurt him in return. And guess what? It seemed like I succeeded in doing that. Or perhaps, I succeeded in making matters worse. “You just won't stop, will you Clary?” Eric asked, and turned to face me.He swayed his jaw from side to side, and held me firmly in his gaze. I could tell what that look in his eyes meant. Yet again, I'd struck a nerve with my words, and he was probably thinking of a way to get rid of me without having blood on his hands. Nonetheless, he smiled as if my words meant nothing to him. And as if I had nothing on him. “Were you expecting me to just give up so easily?” I asked, raising a brow. “If that was what you thought, then I'm sorry, you thought wrong. I'm not giving u

CHAPTER FORTY-NINE — TILL THE VERY END.

Chapter 49.TILL THE VERY END.Clary's POV.If Eric was going to make me look like a fool in front of the pack, then he would have to do better than that. From the look on his face, I could tell that he regretted underestimating me. Well, that's what you get for trying to deceive the pack. Meanwhile, he looked at me for a few more minutes, and then turned to face the pack.“What do you think you're doing, Clary?” Reggie asked, shaking his head. “You really have no idea whom you're dealing with. Just stop this and return to your old life.” “Don't tell me to stop, alright?” I said, in a cool, tempered voice. “I am doing this to save your life so the best you can do right now is to thank me.” “I didn't ask you to save me.” he said, with tears in his eyes. “No matter what you do, Eric isn't going to let me go.” “We will have to see about that.” I said, with a serious look. “If he doesn't, then I will make him do so.” “Will you just listen to me already!” he yelled, a flash of amber l

CHAPTER FIFTY — AN EXPENSIVE GAMBLE.

Chapter 50.AN EXPENSIVE GAMBLE.Clary's POV.“Do you have any idea what you're saying right now?” Eric asked, narrowing his gaze at the words. “If you are wrong, then he's going to die. Is that what you really want?” “What? Are you thinking of giving up already?” I asked, raising a brow. “I know what I just said. So, do we have a deal or not?” For one, it didn't make any sense that I had some black substance running through my veins and I wouldn't have known if Reggie didn't show up. But then again, that was my only evidence that I was the one true alpha.Eric might have gotten the scroll and the pack on his side, but without the black blood, he wouldn't become the alpha let alone perform that ritual. Although, I felt sorry for Reggie because I'd to gamble with his life, but I'm sure he would understand. That was my only hope, and I just had to do it right. “I don't think you're in the best position to strike such deal with me.” he said, shaking his head. “I mean, you're using som
