Mundane Monday #64


Happy Mundane Monday! I know it's a little hard to top the COFA teaser we posted yesterday (Thank you Cassie for the awesome holiday gift - that teaser is WOW).

A second later Jace's arms were around her and he was lifting her off her feet. She was too surprised to struggle as he carried her over to the broken window and dumped her unceremoniously out of it.

She hit a grassy rise just below the window and tumbled down it's steep incline, gaining speed until she fetched up against a hillock with enough force to knock the breath out of her. She sat up, shaking grass out of her hair. A second later Jace came to stop next to he; unlike her, he rolled immediately into a crouch, staring up the hill at the manor house.

Clary turned to look where he looking, but he'd already grabbed her, shoving her down into the depression between the two hills. Later she'd find dark bruises on her upper arms where he'd held her; now she just gasped in surprise as he knocked her down and rolled on top of her, shielding her with his body as a huge roar went up. It sounded like the earth shattering apart, like a volcano erupting.

Clary heard a sharp pattering noise all around her. For a bewildered moment she thought it had started to rain-then she realized it was rubble and dirt and broken glass: the detritus of the shattered manor being flung down around them like deadly hail.

Jace pressed her harder into the ground, his body flat against hers, his heartbeat nearly as loud in her ears as the sound of the manor's subsiding ruins.
