CHAPTER ONE

Clarys pov

The Shadowhunters was well known by everyone in the states, even though they live in New York. They are known to be people that don't give Mercy.

The Shadowhunters is a gang, more like a cartel, they are fearless, if you mess with one person in the gang, you mess with all of them.

The Moto is 'We ride, and we die together'. You are probably wondering how i know all of this, will the answer is that I'm part of it.

It was 7 years ago. My two older brothers, Jon and Jordan, and i were living in the streets again, in the bad part of new York.

I was only 9 while Jon was 14 and Jordan was 11. Our parents never cared about us, Jon took care of me and Jordan, but some nights they would beat us so bad, that we just had to leave.

We were all huddled up in a ally corner, my brothers in front of me, trying to go to sleep, when a women with pretty brown hair, and golden eyes came waking up to us.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Jon asked with so much venom in his voice, but all the women did was laugh.

"Oh little boy" she had said "I love your devotion to family, come with me, i will give you shelter, and anything else you will need" she started to walk away

"Why should we go with you?" Jordan had asked. The women had stopped short and turned around to look at us again

"Because, what do you have to lose". We went. Soon after thought we learned her name, it was Cecily, and her husband Stefan, is the leader of the Shadowhunters.

After about a month or so, the Shadowhunters have started to become my family, they are my family. They soon tought me and my brothers how to fight and kill.

We lived in a big white building that we all call the institute. We have met Magnus, Jace, Alec, Izzy, Simon, Maia, Tessa, and Will their also, and they became our friends.

Since i was the youngest, i had to watch the little kids when they went on missions, i didn't really care though, i was just happy to have more family then just my brothers.

Tomorrow is my birthday, i will be turning 16, and let's just say, it's going to be chaotic. Magnus and Izzy are throwing me a big sweet 16. Enough said about that.

I am in my room right now though, trying to sleep, but i just couldn't. I grabbed my phone.

Hey are you awake-Clary

Yeah, can't sleep?-Jace. i rolled my eyes a little, he knows me to will

Yeah. do you thing that you can come lay with me?-Clary .it's not the first time i asked him to do this, he had even asked me to come lay with him sometimes.

be there in a min-Jace. i smiled. I have to admit Jace is sexy as hell, he is also a big player though. A few minutes later, Jace walked into my room.

"Hey" he whispered to me as he got under my blankets, I didn't say anything back, i did however move to cuddle up to him, my head in his chest and his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Goodnight Jace" i told him with a yawn

"Goodnight red" and just like that, i was asleep
