The Mortal Instruments Fanfiction
SUMMARY: what if the roles were switched and Clary was the one with demon blood instead of Jonathan? How would everything have turned out? Will still have all the characters mentioned in the original series, but obviously things will be different.
*Disclaimer: I do not own anything.
Prologue
Hearing her firstborn child's cries for the first time had been one of Jocelyn's most treasured memories. She had looked down at her tiny son, who looked so much like Valentine but had her eyes, and smiled like she had never smiled before. Jonathan. It was beautiful name for a beautiful child. She hugged him close to her chest and smiled at her husband.
Valentine smiled back, but there was something in his eyes that Jocelyn couldn't quite pinpoint. There were times when her husband was as easy to read as an open book and other times when it was impossible to predict what he was thinking. This was one of the times when the latter was true. He seemed distracted –almost disappointed –as he looked down at their child.
Throughout the year, Jonathan grew from a happy giggly baby into a happy and giggly –not to mention clumsy –toddler. Jocelyn loved her son with all her heart. She did, however, notice the change in Valentine's behaviour. He seemed secretive, closed off, barely spending time with her, much less Jonathan.
On Jonathan's first birthday, Jocelyn became pregnant again with her second child. She couldn't keep in her excitement. She was going to have a second child, and Jonathan would have a little brother or sister to look after. She was discussing with Valentine what the name of their second child would be.
"Daniel," he'd said almost instantly.
"Daniel," she repeated, testing out the name. It sounded lovely. "I like the name Daniel. But what if it's a girl?" She thought for a while. "Clarissa. If it's a girl we'll name her Clarissa."
Valentine nodded, although Jocelyn thought she could sense his dislike in the name she chose. What was wrong with him?
She found out the answer to that question nine months later. As she held her new daughter in her arms, she looked down and almost screamed out loud. Clarissa had inherited her red hair and countless freckles, but her eyes were completely black with no whites in them at all. She hadn't cried like Jonathan had, like all babies did when they took their first breath.
"What have you done?" Jocelyn had yelled at Valentine as tears streaked down her cheeks in torrents. "What have you done to our daughter? This is all your fault! I knew there was something wrong with you!"
She was not the only one to notice something off about Clarissa. Jonathan, despite his young age, thought there was something different about his new little sister. Her black eyes scared him and he always stayed a good distance away from her.
Finally, Jocelyn couldn't take it anymore and she decided to leave Idris. She was going to leave Valentine and the daughter she thought she would love. And she would take Jonathan. They would leave Idris and escape into the mundane world –far from Valentine and the monster he created through her. Far from the world of Shadowhunters.
Hey! I know this is an unusual fanfic but for a while I've been thinking how different everything would have been if Clary was the demon instead of Jonathan. There will still be the same ships as the TMI series, but obviously the way in which they come about will be different. Hope you like it and please review!
