Victoria Avery Morgenstern : An Introduction
As Vix stood near the midnight plant, waiting for it to bloom, she heard her sister's giggles and Jace's low voice. This made her smile. Not many things did anymore but this was one of them. No one could make Clary laugh quite like Jace did.
Her parabatai voiced this very thought. "I'm glad they're happy. God knows they deserve it." Shushing Izzy she let her twin and her boyfriend (Clary called him her soul mate) pass uninterrupted.
The war had taken its toll on everyone but things were going well. Magnus and Alec had happily reconciled and Vix knew that it wouldn't be very long before Alec moved in with Magnus.
Izzy had decided to give Simon a chance but Vix knew it wouldn't really work out. They had changed too much to fit into their previous molds. But this was okay. They would remain two good friends from two different worlds who would never give each other away.
Mom and Luke were married and settled near the Institute. Clary was living with them although she spent most of her time with Jace at the Institute.
Church was as podgy and mean as ever. Izzy's cooking as also just as dangerous as before. Vix thought this was one of Izzy's super weapons for they had the power to make Jace run in the opposite direction, something even Greater demons could not do.
As for her, well, life was going on. Thanks to the Silent Brothers she no longer needed yin fen. She retained her silver hair and her eyes were neither black nor gray and according to Isabelle, had taken to glinting all the time.
She did not like looking in mirrors. She only saw Jonathan's face and that made her sad. She still couldn't tolerate hurting anyone intentionally. She did it. After all, she had killed Sebastian. But she had also killed her brother. Jonathan. The boy with Clary's eyes. No matter what anyone said, she missed him with an indescribable ache that arose from the bottom of her heart.
She had forgiven her mother for keeping her away from the Shadowhunter world and the treatment the Silent Brothers could have provided.
She still danced. And she continued to rival Jace's skills with the piano. Just yesterday she had surprised Izzy and Alec with a composition of her own. She created sound. And she'd done for Max.
Life was going on. Her body was still weak. Weaker than even a mundane. Jem, Brother Zachariah, had explained that there was a chance she could regain her strength, however miniscule. But she did not care. She would still smile. She would still make others smile. What would be would be.
"I think its time", Izzy whispered eagerly.
And it happened. As the flowers bloomed, sitting with her parabatai under the moon in the greenhouse surrounded by it's symphony of smells, she understood who she was.
She was Victoria Avery Morgenstern, daughter of valentine Morgenstern and Jocelyn Fairchild. Sister to Clarrisa Adele Morgenstern and Jonathan Christopher Morgenstren. A member of the Shadowhunter race. A musician. A parabatai. A friend. And a human.
