Okay so I haven't used this account and this is my first story, so helpful criticism please. My little sister and I wrote it, we aren't amazing and this is just for fun. The chapters are going to be short; this is just so we can get off the writing starting blocks.

Disclaimer: All the charters, shadowhunter places and names belong to the lovely Cassandra Claire; we just own the plot, Jade and Ivy.

On with the story

Prologue

Clary and Jace looked up from their conversation in the kitchen as the institutes bell echoed through the halls and reached their ears.

"Who's gonna get that?" shouted Jace taking another sip from his coffee.

"Don't worry I will!" replied Alec walking past the kitchen towards the lift. The moaning from the lift told Jace that Alec was heading for the door. Once Alec got down stairs he went straight to the Institute door.

As he opened it Alec was surprised to see a rather flustered, red faced Magnus.

Magnus started to talk extremely fast, with his hands flying everywhere, that Alec only court a few words he was saying. Something about important news...a new mission...Valentine's test subjects...a family hiding...two children.

At the mention of children Alec's thoughts went straight to Max, his chest tightening in pain. He shook his head as if to clear the saddening thoughts away and held up a hand for Magnus to stop. Alec then told Magnus to come in and explain everything to everyone up stairs.

Once everyone had settled in the kitchen Magnus began to talk. "Alright everyone, there are many things I don't tell you about my life and I've just been given some very worrying news about a family I've been keeping tabs on."

"You're telling us this because?" Jace interrupted.

"Because I might need your help in the matter, you see they have been in hiding since the uprising, did exactly what Jocelyn did. Mind you they didn't ask me to block memories for them. They have two children, the older one around the same age as you Jace and the younger on the around same age as Clary." Magnus paused looking around the small group his eyes stopping on Jace and Clary "They were tested on, just like you were." At this the whole group started talking all at once, some in worried voices, and some in anger but mostly all in shock.

It was Jace's voice that cut through all the commotion. "Why would you need our help?"

"You see this family is in the middle, the kids haven't been trained like shadowhunters, but they know about the shadowhunter world. I've been protecting them over the years and this morning I received a fire message saying they were in danger." Magnus explained.

"What type of danger?" Clary asked looking worried.

"Valentine wants them."
