Clary's POV

Clary Fray was drawing in her sketch book outside her window. When she heard the slam of the apartment door.

"Clarissa," My Dad Valintine shouted drunk.

"Coming," Clary sighed.

Valintine Morganstern became a drunk abusive father after Jocelyn Fray died my mother the love of his life. The one who kept his anger at bay the one who kept him from going totally insane. The one who died and lost his sanity for.

My brother Jonathan Morganstern was always a protective brother but, after he went to college in Londen had to learn to fend for herself and not show any indication of the marks that her father make when drunk and needs somthing to hit.

"Clarissa can you hand me a beer from the fridge," He slurd.

"Sure," Sighs Clary.

"Have you heard from your brother lately?" He asks. Which takes Clary by surprise.

"Uh no the last time was a little over a month he says he might be home for his break though but its a maybe."

"Fine," He replys as I hand him a beer.

"Dad I have to go to work," Clary tells him as she walks to get her bag and coat.

"When will you be home."

"Um well probaly around eight or nine."

"Okay," Was all he said.

Clary walks out the door walks down the skreaky stairs and flags a cab to her Uncle Lukes bookstore.

Jace's POV

Jace Herondale was siting on the Football/Soccer field waiting for he's adopitive brother Alec Lightwood come out of the locker room.

"Jace," someone behind him says. Alec.

Alec had black hair with blue eyes.

"Yeah," Jace said triedly.

"Can we go to the bookstore before we head back to the house?" Alec asks.

"Why?"

"I need a book for English Lit class."

"Okay," Jace says as he walks towards his car.

Alec gets in the passenger seat and Jace starts the car, starts the car to Garroways Books.

"What book are you goimg to get?" Jace asks bored.

"War and Peace," Alec replys.

"Alec do you know what Iz is doing for her sixteen birthday."

"Um I think she wants to have a big party while invite everyone in her classes but I could be wrong."

They get to Garroways Books where we see Luke Garroway putting books on the shelf and a girl with fiery red hair and emerald green eyes. Clary Fray my adoptive sister Isabele's friend. Clary hates me don't know why just has since third grade and I think thats why I walk right to why Alec shakes head at me and walks to Luke for the book.

"Fray," Jace says with a his signatured smirk that makes girls melt and want to jump in bed with him but not her. Never has worked.
