[ALICANTE, CELL]

Everyone stares at the screen, still in shock.

[Clary sits up in her cell as the door opens and women enter. They close the door and one of them starts washing Clary with water and a cloth while the other braids Clary's hair.]

Jace grips Clary's hand.

[ They dress Clary, and when she's ready, they all leave the cell. They go down to the courtyard, where Penhallow is. There are guards and other inmates as well.]

"I can't believe this is happening" said Izzy blankly.

PENHALLOW: Every month, the Gard holds a culling of its death row inmates. Today, you all have been chosen. Charles Freeman, ascend.

"You shouldn't have been chosen yet" said Maryse.

[Charles is brought forward by a guard. Clary is put in a cage with other prisoners.]

PENHALLOW: [about Charles] You are guilty of colluding against the Clave with former Consul Malachi Dieudonne, and of killing 12 Clave soldiers. Do you have any last words?

CHARLES: Long live the Circle.

Luke growled at the screen.

[Inmates besides Clary start cheering.]

Everyone looks nervous.

PENHALLOW: Turn and meet your fate. [Charles turns.] May the Angel have mercy.

[A Silent Brother holds up a scepter. The end lights up and the circle in which Charles is standing catches fire. Charles screams as he burns to death.]

Clary looks scared and feels tears well up in her eyes.

"This can't be happening" said Jace "You can't be burned"

Everyone looked scared, the seriousness of what is happening catching up to them.

[ A guard turns a lever and kicks Charles' burnt body into a pit. Clary looks worried.]

Everyone looks shocked.

"We will find a way to get you out of there" said Laina determinedly to Clary "We have to"

[TITLE SCREEN]

[JORDAN'S APARTMENT]

[Simon is sitting by the window checking his phone. Jordan enters the apartment and Simon puts his phone away.]

Simon glares at the screen.

JORDAN: Any word from Maia?

"He has no right to ask about you" said Tonks fiercely.

Maia smiles at her thankfully.

SIMON: Nothing.

JORDAN: Mate, I'm I'm so sorry.

"I am not his mate" spat Simon.

SIMON: I'm not your mate. Mates don't lie to each other. And they definitely don't move in on your girlfriend.

Maia growls at the screen.

JORDAN: So you heard what I said to her?

SIMON: Every word. You know, it was selfish for you to tell Maia how you felt. You made her question everything. Including me.
