Time Switch

Chapter Nineteen

Clary's POV

Where am I? I ask myself as I wake up. The activities of the previous night quickly come back to me. Sebastian had kidnapped me.
I sit upright and take in my surroundings. Sebastian had put me in a beautifully decorated bedroom, complete with a four poster bed, a vanity table and a large dresser.
Pulling myself out of the bed, I walk over to the dresser and look through all of the clothes. They're breathtakingly beautiful. There are dresses with sequins, dresses with bows, dresses with sashes. I don't know which one I like best. Izzy would be in heaven here.
A pang of sadness hits me. I might never see Izzy again.

I jump as I hear the door open behind me.
"Enjoying the dresses, I see." Sebastian says, smirking.
A scowl forms on my face.
"What so you want with me?" I ask, anger evident in my tone.
He laughs. "I just want to spend some quality brother-sister time together. That and get you to help me with my plan to take down the shadow world."
I gape at him. "Not going to happen."

He laughs again.
"Dear sister, I think it will. You see, when you drink from the mortal cup, you'll be completely under my command."
"What if I don't want to drink from the mortal cup?" I ask.
"You'll simply be forced." He says plainly.

I decide to change the topic.
"Where am I, anyway?"
"We are inside Cardair Idris." He answers.
Where have I heard that name before? I ask myself. Then it hits me. Tessa was telling me about how Mortmain had kidnapped her and bought her to Cardair Idris.
"We're where Mortmain took Tessa." I say.
He chuckles. "Ah yes, Mortmain. A fantastic display of pure evil. Such a shame he died."

I sit back down on the bed.
"Are you going to tell me why you sent us to the past?" I ask.
"It's a long story, but I'll be happy to explain it to you. Now, where do I begin?"

Hey guys,
I know I said that I was going to update twice yesterday, but I ran out of time. At the moment I'm waiting at the airport because my flight was delayed, so I decided to finally update a chapter. Hopefully, I'll write more on the plane and then I'll update them all when I next have WiFi.
Thanks for reading.
