Okay I wanted to do something different. I've had this idea in my head for like... ever. And I think if we all give it a chance it could work. I like to write a lot, but I have NEVER written fanfiction. And since this would be my first one, I thought I'd try and base it off something. I loved CC's idea on making Jace and Clary brother and sister. I was sooooo upset they couldn't be together during that time, but I still LOVED the idea. I've also been wondering if she was trying to accomplish something else with that idea that no one else saw. The angst and tension between the two during their time as siblings was great, so I decided to experiment with that idea. This story is based off another Series called 'The Dollanganger Series' Anyone read 'Flowers In The Attic'? Well that's the idea I'm basing this off of. And I am hoping to accomplish this. That was a very dark and disturbing book, but I loved it, it was one of my favorites. So I'm going to play this in closely. So I hope every likes it, check it out and see...
Now even though I've started a story, I can't promise continuous updates. I wish I could, but I can't. But I'll do my best to try!

Angels In The Attic
I. From Light To Dark…
I remember the times when I was young and naïve. Too naïve to even understand that our happy little life could ever be altered. I will never forget the times when we were happy in our own little world. No one could harm us, or even touch us. We were the Morgenstern Family. A family well known in Idris, the home of our people, the Nephilim.
We called ordinary humans 'Mundanes' our kind always felt the name suited them quite well. We aren't too different from them, though. We play like mundane children, laugh and grow. We love each other, much the same as any mundane family. The difference is that our lives consist of destroying demons, and sometimes even the occasional vampires, or werewolves- but only if they broke the law. For the most part we kept peace between ourselves, and the Downworlder- that's what we called them.
My brother, Jonathan was known for being the best of us for his age. He was only 13, and already the inquisitor was honoring him. Our father never really liked the Clave, our Shadowhunting Government. He always preached to us about how corrupt it was and that someone needed to change it. We always listened carefully, or pretended to. Our mom would just smile and nod. Then when father was out of sight, my brother would always say;
"He doesn't understand…"
"Understand what?" I asked him.
"Clary, men are corrupt. We are naturally flawed as humans. Anything ran by humans will be corrupt." He chuckled as if it should've been something I already knew. Jace was always really smart. I started that nickname, Jace.
When I was little I couldn't pronounce the name Jonathan. And I know that you are thinking that I could've just called him Jon, right? Well you're probably right, but one day mom was going over how to spell with him. And I remember her asking him what his first two initials are…
"J. C." he told her.
"Ja-cey!" I began to shout what he said. Why? I don't know, I was only a year old, but from that moment on that name stuck with us.
My name, Clary?
Well that's just short for Clarissa. It's faster and easier to say, the only one in my life who didn't call me by my nickname was father. I never truly understood why. To tell you the truth I always felt like he favored Jace. But it's okay, it never really bothered me. Mom was always good to both of us. And Jace was more of a momma's boy than he pretended.
I couldn't wait to get my chance with hunting once I turned thirteen I would be out there with my brother, mother, and father. But unfortunately for me, I would never get that chance.
My name is Clarissa Fray, no longer Morgenstern, or Garroway. My brother and I despise the name Morgenstern now, and I wanted to keep Garroway, but we had no choice but to disappear. Believe it or not; but my world becomes more scary than it already is. This is our story…
