I only moved into the Institute a week ago. But of course my mother had rules: keep up with training,and call her at least once a week. I'm turning 19 but of course my mom just isn't that happy about my birthday. On the other hand Isabelle is happy. Right now I'm jogging to central park and back. But I can't shake the feeling that someone is watching me. I cut through an alley only a block from the Institute;when I hear footsteps. I turn around prepared for an attack with a small dagger. I aim and let the dagger fly, and it hits my masked stalker in the thigh. I take this moment to attack and pin them to the alleyway wall with another dagger to their throat.
"WHO ARE YOU," I shout and they removed their mask. I gasped in surprise to see my face. She looks exactly like me accept her hair stops at her neck.
"Well I'm gonna guess mom didn't tell you. I'm your twin Clary, Arriane. We can't talk here Johnathan is after me. Go to the Institute you'll be safe there. You might have questions, but I'm older. Get out of here Clarissa I can handle myself."
"No...what? Listen, I may not know you but your my sister and your not evil. I'm with you 'till the end. Understand me." I say while cupping her face, and we both start crying."I'm gonna guess this is a twin thing," I say between tears, and she smiles at me.
"Well then,"she begins wiping both are tears away."Take me to the Institute because-" she says but is cut off as a dahak demon shrieks."We need to move and now."Says Arriane, so I grab her hand and we run to the Institute.
By the time we get there and are sitting on the floor by the Institute door. Isabelle sees both of us and shrieks.
"OH MY GOD THERE ARE TWO OF YOU! YOU HAVE A TW...A TW-"she didn't finish because she fainted.
"A twin," Arriane finishes for , and we start to laugh.
