CHAPTER ONE

Clarys pov

Every since i could remember, the north side and the south side of our town called Idris, has been separate from one another

The North side is the perfect side, on this part of town, they only care about cheerleading, football, good grades, and no getting into trouble, I think i have only seen a cop once in my life, since they are mostly over on the south side, but even then, the cops dont mess with the people who live there.

Now the South side is the opposite from the North side, everyone tells me that they are gang bangers and that they dont care if you are even a baby, they will kill you if you get in their way. Especially the Serpents

The Serpents are the most dangerous mafia type thing in the country.

Thet are ruthless.

Anyway, my name is Clarissa, Clary for short, and my older brother's name is Jonathan, Jon, and my older sister is Maia, they are twins

Our parents are Valentine, and Jocelyn Morgenstern. If you asked me why they ever got married,i couldn't answer you, anyone with eyes can see how unhappy they are with each other, well if you ever see them together, my dad is always gone on business trips, while my mom is always at the news paper stand that she owns, she sometimes even sleeps there.

My brother and sister raised me.

they are 18 ,while i am 15, almost 16. Me and Maia are both on the cheer team, she is the captain, im a flyer. Jon is the captain of the football team

"Oh, come on Jon, why cant i go?" i asked my brother as i followed him into the kitchen where Maia is

"Because, you are underage, there is no way i want my baby sister going out in a outfit that shows to much, where guys will most likely try to-"

"Ugh!" i groaned, cutting him off, "Maia, will you please tell Jon that i have every right to go to Pandemonium like you two" i told my sister, she looked up from her breakfast and her and Jon seemed to be having a silent conversation.

"Clare, i am going to have to agree with Jon on this one" said Maia i glared and stormed off to the car grabbing my bag on the way, got in the back, and didn't say anything else on the ride to school, in fact it was silent

I hate when they treat me like some little baby that needs protecting. What i hate even more though is that i listen to them. Well sometimes, and today isnt one of them "sometimes" day.

When we got to school, i got out and slammed my door shut, i dont get it, why do they treat me like im 5 years old

i am going to that club, and they wont stop me. What's the worst that can happen anyways?

My bestfriends Simon and Aline were already at my locker so I stomped up to them "what's wrong?" Simon sighed

"My assholes of siblings, that's what" I told them as I got my history book out

"They forbid you to go tonight?" Asked Aline I nodded.

"But we are still going huh?" Said Simon, with a role of his eyes, I just smirked "Clary, I dont think we should go, I mean what if they find out"

"They wont find out Si" I told him with a role of my eyes and I shut my locker door as we started to walk to class

"They always find out" he said as I looped my arm through Alines. Unfortunately, he is right

We soon separated to get to class since we dont have the same class in the mornings.

I have U.S History first hour, kill me now

After school

School went by as always and now we are getting ready at Alines house. If this is going to work, then I cant have my siblings finding out

"The Serpents hang out at this club Clary" said Simin, he has been trying to talk us out of going, said something about not wanting to have to get in a fight if someone "disrespects" us, but really I just think that he is scared of my brother.

"Ok, so what" I told him. Everyone is scared of the Serpents, but I oddly wasn't, and I know why too.

One saved my life.

When I was 11, I was about to get kidnapped by the Red Hawks, a gang that is the enemy if the Serpents, I dont know why they wanted me, but all I knew was that they didn't get a chance to even touch me before 3 Serpents came out of no where and killed them

Saving my life in the process, I never got their names tho, or what they looked like, all I know was that one was a girl and the other 2 were boys.

I get this feeling that they wont hurt me, which is crazy.

Simon made this weird noise in the back of his throat and I didnt know why until I turned around and seen Aline, who was in her club outfit.

She wore tight leather black pants. black wedge heels, a gold glittery tank top with a leather jacket

"What do you guys think?" She asked and I smiled at her while Simon looked like a gaping fish

"You look amazing babes" I told her and she smirked before looking at Simon

"Ya, I can see that" she said while laughing, i laughed to

"Ya Haha, very funny, just go get ready" said Simon and we laughed again. I grabbed my outfit and walked into her bathroom

Simon isnt in love with Aline, or likes her in that way if you are thinking that. Aline is just a pretty girl, anyone would be stupid not to think that.

When I walked out the both got silent, I looked up at them and seen them bug eyed.

"Dose it not look right?" I asked, I just bought this outfit, I'm going to freak if it doesn't look right

i had on a silver copped tank top, that was an upside down V on my stomach, showing my belly botton ring, leather pants, like Alines, and black high heeled kneww high boots

"You look...damn Clary, if I was gay, I would hit that" said Aline and I laughed, rolling my eyes

Time to get this party started

What do u think about this first chapter? By the way I dont own the Serpents name, or the characters I wish tho. Love ya ;)
