"Why are you so afraid to love anyone?" Matthew asked abruptly. The question surprised the girl, but she answered nevertheless.

"There's lots of reasons," she paused, thinking over her words. "I mean, obviously, there's heartbreak involved. Love and heartbreak kind of go hand in hand. There's also the fact that I don't want to depend on anyone, because the only person you can really rely on is yourself."

"That still doesn't explain it," the boy sighed.

"Well," Ascella finally broke eye contact with the green eyed boy, rather turning to look back up to the stary sky. "Maybe I'm afraid to love people because I don't believe anyone could really love me they way I love them."

"I do," he wants to say, but he doubts she would ever really listen to him.

48 parts Complete

Set after the events of Chain of Gold. Cordelia Carstairs, now an engaged woman, tries to navigate her way through a life that has drastically changed. James Herondale, now an engaged man, grapples with his family heritage and feelings for a girl who is as cold as ice. Matthew Fairchild, struggling with his own guilt, realizes that he has more desires than just drinking. A certain desire that no one must know - especially James. Lucie Herondale, fascinated by a certain ghost boy, feels compelled to do something that will result in breaking the Clave law. Emotions and danger run wild as the evil that Cordelia, James, Matthew and Lucie thought was gone, never really was. Now, they must defeat it while grappling with their own personal issues and emotions. Will they be able to save London? Or will their own personal feelings and fears ruin their chance? * * * Please only read this if you have already read Chain of Gold as there will be many spoilers. All rights go to Cassandra Clare :)
