Prologue

20 years ago a little girl was born, blonde hair, blue eyes and was blessed with a protective older brother to protect her from the monster that was their father. He defend her, looked after her and protected her with every ounce of his being… unfortunately this resulted in his death at the mere age of 10. She was no longer safe after that, no longer felt joy and spent every day of her life in fear that her father would get sick of beating her and finally decide to kill her, maybe death was the better side of the situation… at least it would have stopped the pain. But one lonely night, as she walked the dark streets of her small town, tears streaming down her recently bruised face she ran into him. The boy who changed her life, they understood each other for he also knew the pain of being tortured by his father. They fell in love – as all the stories go – but one day she learnt that he wasn't like normal people but she put it aside because she loved him, and believe that they could make it and finally be happy. She soon found out she was pregnant, he was ecstatic, planned for them to run away together to start a family but then one traumatizing day she found him, cold, pale, beaten… no pulse. She knew she had no other choice, she knew it was the right thing to do so she ran. Took his car and drove off.

She drove to Brisbane, there she sold the car, got two part time jobs – working at a café all day, everyday and working at a small pub three nights a week. She looked after herself during these nine months, she thought about giving up the child but she couldn't because she knew her daughter was the product of true love and she couldn't give that away. She did her best, making sure there was always food on the table and a roof over their head. Her daughter was a spitting image of her, blonde hair and blue eyes but she seemed to have the essence of her father – if that makes sense?

At the age of three her daughter started to be act … weird? Saying things were there when they weren't, sometimes she could see what her daughter saw but half the time there was nothing there. She thought it was just an active imagination but then she was approached by a man and a women, they had dark tattoos over their body and wore black fighting gear. This is when she learnt what her dead lover really was, a Shadowhunter. She spent the next 10 months meeting with the Clave, Consul, Council and strange, scary men called the Silent Brothers. After debates and arguments and many meetings Emelina finally decided that her daughter, Imogen Christine Fairchild, would learn about her heritage and be raised in both the Shadowhunter and Mundane society – or at least that's what she hoped.

She now stood at the front of an Institute in New York, USA. – After being flown over with the Clave's money. Her daughter held onto her leg, scared about what was to come, looking up at her with bright blue, worried eyes, "Mummy?"

She looked down at her terrified daughter and picked her up, "Everything is going to be ok. I'm here." She said before her daughter nuzzled into her neck. Emelina took a deep breath to steady her nerves before slowly reaching up and nocked thrice.

After a moment of silence the door swung open to show – what looked like two pairs of mother and daughters. One pair were tall, dark hair, slim build except the mother had blue eyes and the daughter dark brown. The second pair were about the same height, the mother a bit taller and a bit more developed, they both had fiery red hair. The second pair looked more normal than the others, the others were definitely Shadowhunters, both were covered in runes and had black gear on. The other must have been shadowhunter since she saw a few runes on them but they were wearing normal clothes, not fighting gear and looked more relaxed than the other two.

"Hi, you must be Emelina." Said the tall dark haired women, extending her hand to greet her, "I'm Maryse Lightwood, this is my daughter Isabelle and my son Alec is out at the moment but you'll meet him later." Emelina cautiously shook her hand, slightly scared to say anything; her daughter seemed to be clinging onto her for dear life.

"Oh stop being so official. Hi I'm Jocelyn Fairchild and this is my daughter Clary." Said the red headed woman.

Emelina's ears pricked up, "Fairchild?"

"Yes?"

Emelina looked at her for a moment, she seemed slightly familiar, 'it couldn't be? He said she died? Maybe they're distantly related?' "um… sorry to stare but… is there many Fairchild's around the world?"

"No actually, Clary and I are actually the only ones left."

Emelina's heart started to slightly race and her breathing slightly hitched, "Are you ok?" Asked clary taking a step forward to put a caring hand on her shoulder, "I-I'm fine, it's just… a little nerve racking that's all, I've only ever been to two different places ever in my life and now I'm in a whole other country being told my daughter is this thing called a Shadowhunter and that she needs to be brought up in a whole different world that I know nothing about and so I'm kind of freaking out especially with the fact that it seems like I have no idea who her father, the man I loved, really was. I knew nothing about this and now I'm being thrown into it, so I'm kind of freaking out!" She rambled slightly hysterical.

"I understand, trust me I understand. How about you come inside and get settled in." She asked caringly.

Em nodded slightly and then smiled softly, "Thank you. I'm sorry I'm just a little… I… just."

"It's fine. Now come on, it's getting dark."
